FARRELL, (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 27—Some kind of a title will be bestowed on the rurvivor of the elimination tourna- ment organized by the New Yor! Boxing Commission to find the suc- cessor to Benny Leonard's vacated Ughtweight championship, ‘The win- ner cannot be called the world’s champion, neither can he be re- garded as the American champion until he meets Sampy Mandell, the ranking lightweight of the country, Mandell refused to enter the tour- nament for several reasons, Before the draw was made, he asked the privilege of being given a bye in the first round because in a few hours after the draw was to be made he was to meet Sid Terris, another lightweight nominated for entrance. The Commission refused to grant what wa led impossible terms, and Mandell withdrey During the Terris fight, which he won in convincing fashion, he hurt his left shoulder badly. He had not returned to his home in Rockford, Ill., when he was told that the com- mission had reversed itrelf and that he had been drawn, withcut his con- sent, for the round of the tournament. The commission had draw Mandell’s nam yut his chnsent, His name was not on the list of thore who signed to compete tn the tournament; and he had al- ready notified the commissioners that he was not to compete. He re- sented what he was justified in be- lieving a deliberate act to force him into the tournament so that it would have restored some of the prestige it lost when Mandell, ‘Terris and Johnny Dundee declined to take VESTION Ox If you have some question to ask about baseball, football, box- ing or any other amateur or pro- fessiozal sport— If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to know anything about a play or player— Write to John B.

Answer—Chatkey Mitchell, Peter Jackson, Jack Johnson, Jim Corbett, Jem Mace, Kid MeCoy, Georges Car- pentler, Bob Fitzsimmons, Joe Choy- inski and Bill Brennan, publish selections Walter of With the exception of George Chaney, the Baltimore contender, there isn't a lightweight in the tour- nament of Mandell's class and he can't see why he should have to pass up other business and spend the &reater part of two months in train- ing to go through the tournament. Chaney, although he is the greatest puncher of his weight in the game, may not get through the tournament because of a very bad reputation for fouling. Chaney's best punch is to the body, it is a paralyzer, When it lands it has much the same effect as a low punch and claims of foul against him are allowed more fre quently than they are in the case of a@ protesting boxer who isn’t in such pain from a lghter punch in the stomach. Chaney's reputation for fouling also keeps the eyes of the referees on him too much and causes them to be less lenient. There is no doubt that many of Chaney's punches are knocked down and that some of his opponents jump. up into them. The commission has a very un: wieldly tournament to handle and the winner may not be decided un- til the middle of the outdoor season, The elimination between the Ameri- can contenders has to be completed and then a survivor of the European division has to be found. The win- ners of the two divisions have to be matched then, . It is rather doubtful that the European boxers, who have inflated ideas about the money paid to Amer- ican boxers, will consent to pool the ceipts from all the bouts and di- vide the money equally among the contestants as the American entries agreed to do, The Americans accept- ed the arrangement under protest with sour faces, but they were fore- ed to accept when the commission gave them a mean glance. Despite what kind of a title Is hung upon the final Winner by the commission, Mandell can dispute it. No competitor in the tournament will have beaten an opponent of the standing of Terris, and Mandell proved his right to the title in that fight. Before he was wised up to the fact that the commission had other plans to decide Leonard's successor, Tex Rickard said that he would award a belt to the winner of the Mandelil- Terris fight and that as far as he was concerned the winner would be the champion, He didn’t say much after that, but he still figures the fante way It will be interesting to watch the developments, if a foreigner should happen to win the championship. The commission might declare then that the was the New York cham- pion and that he would have to beat Mandell before he could be the Amer- ican champion. There {s little danger however, that a foreigner will win it, although there are possibilities in Luis Vincentini, the Chilean’ cham pion pS ESSE W’GRAW CLAN AT PRACTICE NEW YORK, Feb. 2 Manager John McGraw took charge of prac- tice in the Giants’ training camp at Sarasota, Florida, yesterday and came out of several conferences with the signed contracts of Jack Scott, Jeck Bentley and Arthur Nehf, all pitchers.

The Babe's double barreled this year is to eclipse the re season's home run harvest of 59 which he established in 1921, and to lead both major leagues in bat ting. The Babe h his time this winter on the links and in the hot baths at Hot Springs, Arkansas. There was a time when temperament was Ruth's main ob: stacle but he has overcome this.

By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Pennsyl- vania football authorities are going to put into effect an innovation which will be watched with interest by everyone who is interested in the training and conditioning of gridiron players.

Then the squad wil) not f until the university opens in accordance with an made with Yale when tives of the two universities ranged their football date for 15 Just how the players will r a long spring season of football prac tice remains'to be seen. There is a theory in some quarters that more harm than good will come of the scheme and from comments of more than one Pennsylvania player it is clear that fear exists that they may be altogether fed up with the sport. This may happen and if; it does the bad effects may be made evident in the football season which follows. On the other hand, it may be found] that the players will be~ endowed with a polse and a proficiency that are almost professional.
