sP New Welterweight Boxing Champion Wins Laurels in Desperate Toe-to-Toe LATZ0O’S AMAZING FINISH |TWO K. 0.’S FEATURE COSTS WALKER HIS TITLE Pennsylvania Mine Region Boy Repeatedly Blocks Jerseyman’s Attack and Concludes 10-Round Battle With Terrific O By the Associated Press. CRANTON, Pa., May 2l.—Anth S ley, home of Pete Latzo, went bulging pockets—the fruits of ai Pete Latzo, 23-year-old son of champion of the world. He got the decision in 10 round Elizabeth, N. J., a two-to-one favorite. Walker, who won the crown by York three 3 ; tors, most of them friends of Latzo.

In the first round blood came from his nc after a pounding at close quarter: Battling Terrific. Tatzo soon learned that he was fizhting the champion's Wi and shortly - he began to step awal rush in and out with stabbing jolts to the head which time after time drove his adversary to the ropes. In the fifth Walker’s short right »ened a cut under the challenger's ieft, eye, but Latzo rained blows and drove Walker to a corner. From that time the miner appeared .aining strength and courage. Every ‘harge was met with a shower of olts, although he_accepted terrific punches to head and body. With miners standi ng on their and shouting, the last two s were terrific, and the final bell »und the boxers slugging away at «ach other, with the referee trying to pry them apart. Two judges voted for Latzo and the consensus at the ringside gave him 5 of the 10 rounds, Walker 3 and 2 even. Latzo entered the ring under the name of “Young Clancy” seven years 1 zate receipts were es 000, of which Latzo's Walker was 1, per cent guaranteed $30,000, or of the net receipts » in_which decision and the world welter- championship in Seranton vet the fact remains that not by a long ught and beaten all lass, now that The list of vietims in ve Shade, st whom he also has 2 draw. Think this over when vou try to figure \vh-‘tvh(‘r Latzo will prove a worthy champion He has braten Georsie Ward, Paul Doyle and lots of the best, and only one man has ever siretched him on the canvas for the count—Morrie Schlaiffer. And Morrie will never see the day when he can do it again. Tt looks as though Mickey took off too much weight too quickly. Ie was down to 144 pounds at the weighingin, while Latzo shaved down very carefully over a long period. Latzo Strong at Finish. As the writer stated ‘hefore the fight, Mickey has been better over \hze longer rfiulo. Yet all the finish fireworks in the Scranton battle were supplied by Latzo, who pulled ahead in the last two rounds. Up to the ninth Walker led on aggressiveness and seemed to have earned at least a draw. Save for a bad wallop he got in the seventh he would have looked like a winner. In the last two rounds he seemed to lose a lot of his ferocity und the tiger man was Latzo. The two certainly should meet again over the 15-round route, with Walker taking the best of ¢ of himself and eschewing the New York night clubs. Dancing in the late hours is not the best way to hold onto a championship title. Latzo Learned in Defeat. Latzo fought Walker in Newark three years ago and got a beating about the body that required more than a year for him to recover from. Evidently he had learned something about stepping the ex-champion’s dangerous left hook to the ribs and stomach for most of the time last night Mickey either was missing or found his fist coming in contact with an elbow. Latzo never boxed so cleverly in his life and as every one knows. Walker is at his worst against a skilliful op- nent. But while Pete showed a fine brand of sclence he ulso was there with the wallop and knew just when to step in and whale away with rights and lefts. Tn doing so he took « punching—which didn’t bother him ny—and in return luced Mickey as ho has not been punched since h fought Harry Greb.

BASE BALL SECRETS By Sol Metzger | Note any big leaguer catching a ball at first base when there is a runner or so on any other bases. Whether he gets a put out or not he immediately eprings forward into the field and is all ready to throw the bull to any place on the dlamond where the other runners are likely to be caught. He an- ticipates any move of these other runners, and is ready to meet it the {nstant he catches the ball. That is what the player on the left in the illustration is doing. The player on the right is holding the base after making the catch. He loses valuable time in case the other runners have taken too big a lead off the bases on the play, or have tried to advance a base, He s likely to lose an assist whero the man who makes this play cor- rectly will get one. INDIA SELECTS FOUR FOR INVASION OF U. S. The Hurlingham committee has de- cided, by a small majority, that the Indian Polo Association shall be al- lowed to represent Hurlingham, pro- vided its selected team acquits itself creditably between now and January 1, 1927. The decision was made on the grounds that it was impossible to find a team of players in England that could compete against the Americans with any chance of success. This scheme, at any rate, gives India a chance to show what it can do. “It has always been felt in India that players who came to England to be tried have never been given a fair chance, chlefly, of course, owing to the difficulty of mounting them ade- quately,” says the London Times in commenting on the matter. “In vi of the continued non-success of E lish teams since the war, the Indian Polo Association resolved to select two army teams that should play in the big open tournaments out there, and in the event of the best team meeting with success, to invite Hurlingham to challenge for the cup with the win- ning team. “The A team, consisting of Capt. George, Maj. Williams, MaJ. Atkinson, and Capt. Dening, duly won the Prince of Wales commemoration’ cup at Delhi, and the Indian Polo Asgoci- ation thereby suggested that this team, with two reserve players and 16 ponies, should land in England in the Spring, and that after sufficient rest it should proceed to America, Hurlingham providing the other ponies which would be necessary. _ “Apparently the team has no in- tention of playing in England, which will be very disappointing to polo en- thusiasts. The Indian Polo Assocla- tion further proposed that they should challenge the American Army first, and ‘hat if they were successful should then challenge America for the cup. This later suggestion the com- mittee, quite rightly, would not agree to, on the grounds that the challenge for the international cup has to be sent by January 1 of the same year in which the match is to be played, and that if the team were defeated by the American Army, not at all an impos- «ible result, a challengs for the cup with such a team would be absurd. “It is understood that substantial support has already been promised in India, and the Hurlingham committes may be relied upon to do their utmost to see that the Indian team is ade- quately mounted, in the event of the challenge being sent, and to render them every assistance.” | AN ENTIRELY NEW KIND OF COLLAR_ THE _NEW, COLL THEY ARE THE | caught him flush on the button, THE KENILWORTH SCRAP. That the ring fans of Washington and vicinity are strongly in favor of boxing was quite evident last night, when 2,500 devotees of the square ring attended the initlal card staged at the Kenilworth Arena. The best bout of the evening was a ten-rounder, hetween Young Dencio, the United States Navy flyweight| champion, and Johnny M the| Army title holde: The decis given the Navy lad because of his boxing ubility and whirlwind attacks. Myers seemed to have lost his punc and, although he landed frequently, his blows apparently did not have much effect on Dencio. Tony Cortez, a local lad, who has quite a string of victories to his credit, was the victim of overmatching, and took the long count for the first time in his career in the second round in his scheduled 10-round bout with Wee Willle Wiggins of Trenton, N. J. Wig- glns entered the ring eight pounds heavier than Cortez, and from the very first it was only a question of how long the loc: leather-pusher would last.

Billy Augustine of Seat Pleasant, 1925° middleweight champion of the Navy, and Falt MacFeeley of George- tow iversity, who was making his debut in the professional game, staged a elow and uninteresting setto for seven rounds. At the beginning of the elghth McFeeley landed a light left to the jaw, and the Navy ex-champion pulled a perfect Annette Kellerman. Jack Cody of Fort Myer gained the decision over Jack Skinner in their four-round go. Charlie Short of Baltimore was the referee, while Frank Schuyler and Jack Kennedy were judges of the en- counters. C. Royce Hough was timer. CARPENTIER PICKED TO DEFEAT HUFFMAN By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 21.—Handsome Georges Carpentler of France tonight makes another effort in the ring. The former light-heavyweight cham. | pion of the world, veteran of the World War, who has been a pugilist since he was 13 yvears old, will tackle Sailor Eddie Huffman of the Pacific Coast in a 10-round contest at Madi- son Square Garden. Georges is 32 years old. In all of his great battles he has given weight to opponents. Four times he has gone before the American public and only once has he been victorious— that was agalinst Battling Levinsky. When he returned to America last Winter he said that he would not accept engagements to box. But he was lured and a victory tonight will place him in line for another chance at_the light-heavyweight crown. Huffman is a rugged, upstanding fighter, shifty, but lacking the speed of the Frenchman. He has been an “in-and-outer” in his bouts in the Bast. Boxing followers favor the chances of gorgeous Georges, who has tratned faithfully for two months in Atlantic City. They argue that he may have lost some of his speed, but that he still possesses the weapon that nearly shook the heavyweight crown from the head of Dempsey at Bovle's Thirty Acres, a lightning right hand. SEMI-FINALS LISTED Tom Mangan faces Stanley Carr and Gwynn King meets Bob Burwell to- morrow in the semi-final round of the fourth annual invitation tourney of the Wardman Park Tennis Club.
