BRINGING UP FATHER THAT BE ? ELKS' BOWLERS IN SLOW TILTS | LAST EVENING Hawley Sterlmg and Dalma * Hanson Show in Lone Wolf Roles " The long holiday layoffs seem to Bave thrown the Elks' bowlers a bit off stride, Dr. A. W. Stewart being the lone conference pinman to approach the five and a half hundred mark last evening. Stew- art rolled up a total of 543, siX points more than Louis Delebecque, while Art Bringdale was the only roller to better the two-century single mark, gathering himself one 203 game. With the aid of a 13-pin spot, Miss Dalma Hanson alone upheld the Columbia end of the fight ngainst the entire Holy Cross trio. Miss Hanson captured the first game of the match, but then fell by the wayside as the Crusaders FOR GOODNESS SAKE !

Not even the heavyweight slass boasts more big names in its history than the middleweigh group. Starting with Jack Dempsey, the Nonpareil, who was the undisput- ed middleweight champion for sev- eral years until he ran up against George La Blanche in 1869, the list of champions and near champions of that group is studded with names like Bob Fitzsimmons, Tommy Ry- an, Kid McCoy, Stanley Ketchel, Jack (Twin) Sullivan, Billy Papke, Johnny Clabby, Frank Klaus, Mike Gibbons, Eddie McGoorty, Jack Dil- lon, George Chip, Jeff Smith, Les Darcy, Harry Greb and Mickey Wal- ker. As in other divisions, the middle- weight title has often been in dis- pute. Away back when La Blanche defeated Dempsey, with his famous pivot blow, which was nothing but a flagrant foul, the public, or at least a great part of it, refused to consider La Blanche the champion, but continued to recognize Demp- sey as the title holder until he was knocked out by Bob Fitzsimmons | in 1891. Fitz deserted middleweight ranks in 1896 to battle the heavy- weights, although he could still eas- ily make the’ middleweight limit of those days, 158 pounds. Recognize Ryan As soon as Fitz announced that he was going after the heavyweight crown, Tommy Ryan and Kid Mc- Coy claimed the middleweight ti- tle. Ryan was recognized by the authorities as champion because even then McCoy was preparing to fight as a light-heavy. When Ry- an gave up the title along came Stanley Ketchel, who laid claim to the crown after he had whipped Jack (Twin) Sullivan, another claimant, in 1908. The title was held or claimed by fighters like Al McCoy, Mike O'- Dowd, Johnny Wilson, Bryan Dow- ney. slipped lower and lower. Harry Greb lifted the class up a bit when he won the title from Johnny Wil- son, but not for long. The oft- beaten Tiger Flowers took the title from Greb after the latter had slipped considerably. Flowers in turn passed the crown on to Mickey Wai- ker after a 10-round bout in Chi- cago, a decision that ranks with the worst of all time. The Latzos, Dundees, Yaroszs and | Riskos who followed did nothing to bring the class back to the place; in the fistic sun it once enjoyed. Then along came Freddie Steele, n The once glorious division | i ling a prize of $100 for the best pic- es Syndicate, Inc, World rights reserved V;\ - FORMER NATIONAL- Vs THE CLASS /S THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JAN. 5 1937.

In- terest in the division took a new lease in life. Risco Comes Back | A youngster, one Harry Balsamo, | fresh from the amateur ranks, ran up a string of sensational knock- outs and was hailed by some too- enthusiastic experts as another Stanley Ketchel. to create considerable interest in the middleweight group, but when he was called on to face a fighter cf more than a little experience he folded up. Babe Risko gave the green Balsamo a thorough boxing lesson, and, a few weeks later Solly Krenger stopped the youngster in | several rounds. Risko's remarkable showing against the hard-hitting Balsamo put him back in line as a contender for the crown he lost to Steele. Fred Apostoli, former A. A. U. middleweight champion, has been making threatening gestures on the Coast and looks like a mighty fine prospect. He is a clever boxer and a snappy hitter. He holds a decis- ion over Risko.
