Left to right above they are Champions Tommy Loughran, light heavyweight; Gene Tunney, heavyweight; and Mickey Walker, middleweight. 534 Welterweight; Sammy Mandell, lightweight; and Tony Canzoneri, featherweight. ‘474 meet Lomski, Slattery or Delaney; Tunney is matched with Tom Hecney; Walker with Ace Hud- .429 kins; Mandell with Jimmy McLarnin; Canzoneri with Joie Sangor; and Dundee’s opponent probably will be Sergeant Sammy Baker. Below, left to right, Champions Joe Dundee, Loughran is to By F. G. VOSBURGH (Feature Service Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 1—Gene Tun- ney isn’'t the only world’s cham- pion who is to defend his crown this summer. All along the line the lesser kings are making ready to take on their respective chal lengers and get a share of the dollars that hloom in the big out- door arenas in the warmer months. Not less than six champions in the eight recognized and bona fide weight divisions already are book- ed for championship fights, and it looks like fireworks ahead. Tunney is getting set -for the Tom Heeney affair, which prob- ably will be in the Yankee Sta- |dium, New York, July 26. Tommy Loughran, the light- take on a challenger June 7 at Rickard, his opponent probably to be Leo Lomski or Jimmy Slat- tery, both of whom he has beat- en, or Jack Delaney, the abdicated ex-champion. Mickey Walker, middleweight champion, who is handled by Jack Kearns and hence is unavailable to Rickard, is to tackle Ace Hud- kins in Chicago in June or July under the auspices of Jim Mul- len, Rickard’s Windy City rival. Joe Dundee, welterweight title- holder, has been signed by Jess McMahon, matchmaker unto Rick. ard, for a Polo Grounds scrap June 21, but Hudkins' growth into the middleweight division has robbed the Baltimore Italian of his challenger. Another one now must be named, possibly the hardy Sergeant Sammy Baker, who has given the Ace some memorable battles. Sammy Mandell, the somewhat evasive, but none the less respect- ed lightweight champion, is book- ed for a scrap May 17 at the Polo Grounds that runs second only to the heavyweight championship match in its appeal to the popular imagination. Interest in the fight is due in large part to the colorful person- ality and dynamite punching pow- er of little Jimmy McLarnin, “the baby-faced rattlesnake,” the chal- lenger and man of the hour in the lightweight cla Down among the featherweights Tony Canzoneri, the spunky New York Italian who bosses the divi- sion in his own right now that he’ has beaten Benny Bass, is to take| on that hard-hitting atom from Milwaukee, Joie Sangor, the same who kayoed gallant little Bud Taylor. i With these six, ail of whom are' due to see action in the next few weeks, the list of recognized and undisputed champions ends. The same Bud Taylor who fell before Sangor is considered bantam- weight champion by some states, but is not universally acclaimed. Bud has about outgrown the divi- sion anyway. The flyweight class has two champlions instead of one, and it is possible that Rickard will get them together this month in another of those “cham- pion vs. champion” things. Cor- poral Izzy Schwartz is recognized solons and Frankie Genaro, former Association. There's a championship fight in prospect also in that somewhat synthetic class, the junior. light- weight. Tod organ, who rules| that roost, is to defend it against Cannonball Eddie Martin May 24 in what probably will be the last| indoor fight of the season at Madi- son Square Garden. FIRST OLYMPIC RECORDSLISTED * TI6 YEARS B. C. ATHENS, Greece, May 1—While little attention is being paid to the selection of a Greek athletic team to participate in this year's Olympiad at Amsterdam, Greece is inordinately proud of being the birthplace of the famous sporting event, It was in 776 B. C. that; the' names of the vietors in'the an- cient Olympic Games began to be | recorded, but ,ong before - that| jthey had hecome "an established | fnstitution, the orign of which| was ascribed to Hercules. They' derive their name from Olympia, in Western Greece, and modern!| travelers can NOW see the stene of these ancl contests, held every four years, the excava: |in the presence of the late King tion of Olympia by the Germans in 1875-81. Herodotus is sald to have read part of his history at the Olympic Games, and Nero took part in them. With the spread ,of Chris- tianity, they, like all the pagan festivals, declined, and in 394 A. D. the Emperor Theodosius I sup- pressed them, the last Olympic victor being an Armenian prince. An attempt made to revive them at Antioch was stopped by the Emperor Justin I in 521. At the instigation of Baron Pierre de Coubertin and others they were| revived at Athens in 1896 in the) ancient Stadion, restored by Ave-| roff. On that occasion a Greek shepherd, Louis, who is still alive, | won the Marathon race (26% | miles) amidst great enthusiasm. The Olympic Games were re- peated at Athens in 1996, when a Canadian won the Marathon race| Bdward VII, and the writer well| remembers seeing - Prince George of Greece in naval uniform run with him up the Stadion. Since then there have been no Olympic Games in Athens. oo “TIGER” GOT NEW CAR BUT | PAYMENT WAS REFUSED| PARIS, May 1—Georges Clemen ceau, the grand old man of Gaul,! who uses an automobile instead of the train for travelling about France, tried to buy a new car the other day and couldn’t. The company insisted on giving it to him. | For several years the Tiger had travelled about in a big, but old| car. He decided it was about JACK SHARKEY BEATS DELANEY |Bout Lasts One Minute and Thirteen Seconds of Fighting | NEW YORK, May 1-—Jack Sharkey, Boston sailor, smashed Jack Delaney, former light heavy weight champion, into a disastrous knockout to defeat in just one minute and 13 seconds of their scheduled 15 round fight, last i might.

Aldrich CANTON, Mass., May 1—The Ponkapog home of Thomas Bailey Aldrich, author, editor and poet where nearly half his collected work in prose was written, has passed to the state of Massachu- | setst. With its 155 acres of land to be incorporated into the metropoli- tan park system, the centtry-old house awaits final disposition at trict commission. The old tavern that hecame a poet’s home has seen many changes since it was built in 1813 on the Providence-Boston turnpike by Captain John Tucker. It was after it had become a wealthy gentleman’s farm and estate that Aldrich came here from Boston to live. And during his time such characters as Mark Twain,« Wil- liam Dean Howells, Joe Jefferson, | Phillips Brooks and Edwin Booth were guests at jts fireside. Aldrich came to Ponkapog in 1874. It was in this year that,’ wishing to add the picture of Mark Twain to his library, he wrote his request. Clemens here- upon began sending him a photo- graph every day. When, after two vears, Aldrich protested mildly against this stream of pictures, Clemens sent him 20 of his pic- tures in 20 separate covers.. After Aldrich’s death, the house' remained a home of Mrs. Aldrich until her death a few months ago. Ride of Hundred Miles Mere Jl_u_nt_ for Cowboy| SPRINGVILLE, Utah, May 1— One hundred miles on horseback by a Tl-yearold cowboy is “only an - ideal holiday trip,” declares Milan L. Crendall, who recently rode this distance in two days. Crendall portrays the oldtime cowboy in a different guise from the hard-boiled, two-gun type pie- tured in fiction and the movies.

With increasing economic and social independence of women, English judges and juries are re- luctant to award money damages o the jilted complainant. Even where the verdict is for the com- plaining woman, the jury fre- quently measures its estimate of | harm done by granting just enough indemnity to buy a spring bonnet.
