Archibald 0utcIassed
Undisputed Crown
Seen for Lemos
Joey Plans to Go Ahead
With Bout Here for
New York Title
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 27.-It looks
as If the California Boxing Com
mission got on the band wagon
Just in time.
After Richie Lemos of Los Angeles
recently won the featherweight
championship, National Boxing As
sociation model, from Petey Scalzo,
the California maui moguls di-
verced the New York Boxing Com
mission and joined the N. B. A.
So last night Lemos made them
look good by chasing joey Archl-
bald all over the ring in a 10-round
exhibition. Archibald, Providence,
r, T., youth. is New York-recognized
feather king.
Lemos outboxed the back-pedallng
Archibald so convincingly that
Referee Benny Whitman gave him
nine rounds and called the flrst
even. Many ringsiders conceded
joey the first three cantos but gave
the other seven to the little Mexican.
After it was all over, Lemos; his
manager, Baron Won Stumme, and
Everett Sanders of the California
commission joined in vocal trio
to sing to the world "Lemos is un-
disputed champion of the world"
Sanders said California would re-
ject Archibald's claim for recogni-
ton.
Joey, however, just reached for
another jar of silver polish to wipe
the tarnish off his crown. He'll de-
fend his New York diadem against
Chalky Wright, also of Los Angeles,
In Washington, D. c., next month.
Lemos weighed 12712 and Archi-
bald 1861 for their overweight
bout.

Lots of the standees found they

Dodgers had been anywhere near
winning that second game it

when the storm came up.
The press box was so jammed
that the Dodgers secretary,

room for another working man
by asking President Ford Prick of

Special Dispatch to The Star.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27. Stocky
Dutch Leonard boosted an ambition
here today, the Washington pitcher
rearranging his goal to 20 victories
after achieving No. IS yesterday by
beating the Browns, 80, at st. Louis.
Earlier in the season Leonard said
he would settle for Is victories this
year. but at that point he had won
only six games and dropped 10. In
capturing nine of his last 10 starts
Dutch currently owns a 1911 record
and his goal of 20 triumphs isn't
regarded as overly ambitious.
Has Eight More Games.
Leonard is calculated to start
about eight more times this season
and wins in five of those games
would give him a score of victories
for the second time in three years.
Dutch relinquished top pitching
honors among the Mats to Sid. Hud-
son last season, but this year he has
no serious challenger.
Manager Bucky Harris was to
send Ken Chase, the Mats biggest
bust of the year, against the second
place White Sox today, with Johnny
Rigney slated to start for Chicago.
Still in the American League base
ment, Washington was hoping to
employ the White Sox as a stepping
stone to a less embarrassing posi-
ton.
The Mats landed here with bit
of additional baggage in the form
of Eddie Miller, semipro pitcher
from Iowa, who will return to Wash
ington with the club. The young
right-hander probably will stick
around for the experience for the
remainder of the season.
Jake Early collaborated with
Leonard in ending Washington's A.
game losing streak His second
inning homer, his ninth Of the sea-
son, scored George Archie and pre-
sented the Mats a 80 lead that
Leonard preserved.
Cecil Travis opened the second
inning with a single but was forced
by Mickey Vernon, who stole sec
ond. Archie bounced a single over

Must
Face MaurieI|o
Again This Fall
Edge Too Small to Give
Gus Undisputed Hold
On Light-Heovy Title
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer,


NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Gus Les
nevich. the fellow who was always
the bridesmaid and never the bride
in the light-heavyweight picture,
was boss of the 175-pounders TODAY,
but he's going to have to prove Il
again to make it stick.
The rugged Russian from Jersey,
who waited through Billy Conn,s
reign for two years, whipping every
one but the head man, gained ua-
disputed possession of the champiotl-
ship last night in Madison Square
Garden by outpointing Tami Mauri-
clio, the young baby-faced failer
from the Bronx. !,
But he did it by margin as close
as fresh shave, and there was
such question left in the minds Of
the fans after it was over that
Promoter Mike Jacobs announced
Immediately Gus would have to de-
fend the bauble November IA in the
Garden against Tami Being a
sportsman, Uncle Mike wanted the
matter cleared up to the satisfah-
ton of all concerned. And the fact
that return go would prove most
attractive to the cash customers
didn't have thing to do with
making up his mind. e
Runs Up Big Margin.
BY flooring the 2l-year-old kid
In the second round. cutting his ere
In the fourth. bloodying his nose in
the sixth and generally running
away with the match through the
first 10 ronds, Lesnevich piled up so
tremendous margin that he had
enough to hold of against Mauriei-
los closing drive.
Tami was fighting his first Is
rounder and his first bout against
light-heavyweight-and this led
many to expect he'd have to do his
winning early. But he actually
worked just in reverse and all but
won. So. for the first time in nearly
half year, today there is only one
light-heavyweight champion of the
world.
The National Boxing Association
took the title away from Billy Conn
some months ago and gave it to
Anton Christorofidis, the cropping
Greek, from whom Lesnevich won
the N. B. A. blessing several weeks
back. The New York State Athletic
Commission refused to go along with
this sanction, but received Conns
abdication before Billy fought Louis,
and did nothing about a new boss
until last night.

jumbo moving around by the fstie

So many fans couldn't wait for
the outcome of the "crooshiaT

assign a special clerk to handle

and have returned more than
$4,000 that came in too early.
Minnesota's George Franck,
who has been giving the home
town papers the news about the
Chicago All-Stars, tells this one
on Norm Standlee, the Stanford
fullback: Standlee is color blind
and when the coaches make q
lot of changes during practice
he sometimes blocks a player on
his own side. One of the op-
posing tackles caught on and
hollered, Hey, Norm, don't block
me-. I'm on your side" Norm
didn't and the tackle meared

A state school for Industrial Air Raid Precaution at which training as plant air wardens will be given to representatives of about five hundred Connecticut manufacturing plants will be conducted by the State Defense Council at Trinity College, Hartford, october 3o-Sl and November 1.
 This will be the first industrial warden school operated in the state. Edward H. Davis, assistant director of air raid wardens schools, will be in charge. Meetings will be in Chemistry Lecture hall, with morn- ing sessions from o:30 to l2:30 and afternoons from l:30 to 4:30.
 Graduates of the school, who will correspond in a general way SO far as a factory or plant is concerned with Chief Air Raid WardenS now appointed in cities and towns, will be given certificates signed by Ad- ministrator Samuel H. Fisher and the director of state warden schools, Major Herbert D. Gallaudet.
 In a letter to plant managers, Colonel Fisher says that:
