SPORTS. SPORT S. Loughran Will Give Up Title Today : Fugazy Is Counting Heavily on Campolo - 70 RELINQUISH 1T * TOBOARDINN.Y. Returning Championship to , Body Which Gave Him Title Sanction. BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN, Contender for the Heavywelght Champlon- ship of the World. EW YORK, September 3.—To- day my manager, Joe Smith, will officially resign my light- heavyweight crown of pugilism to the New York Boxing Com- mission. Joe is returning it to them because they were the first to sanction my claims to this title. They also were instrumental in obtaining for me my chance in the biggest class by permit- ting me to be matchkd with Jack Sharkey before I relinquished the crown. | I have never been fortunate enough | to win a_ champlonship directly from a title holder. The bout between Mike McTigue and me in Madison Square Garden October 7, 1927, was authorized by the New York Commission to be for the world championship. At that time Jimmy Slattery and Leo Lomski were at the forefront of the contenders and conceded by many experts to be the| best of the field. Tried to Deserve It. The word “champlon” has always conveyed to me the idea of the world's best. I had to meet thesa men to prove to myself that I really was light-heavy- weight champion in fact as well as name. The following month Pat McCarthy and I boxed a 10-rounder in Philadel- phia. December 12 Jimmy Slattery, then the National Boxing Association champion, and I, the New York cham- pion, went 15 rounds to a decision, ‘which I won. On January 6, just 24 days later, x fought Leo Lomski and almost met my Waterloo. Four bouts, three 15-round- ers at an unnatural weight, all in 2 day less than three months, nearly undermined my health, and my doctor ordered me to rest for three months. From the Lomski bout on I have always felt the part of a champlon and never hesitated at giving the boys & chance to win the title from me. Good Boys in Class. At the present time tnere are plenty of boys in the class to keep interest in it. At this time a dark horse, George Courtney, looks to be the best of the fieid. He is regarded as a big middle- weight, but he never could scale 160 pouhds and be strong, at least within the last 18 months. Courtney was the victim of & safety- firs: champlion, Who killed interest in the class by meeting only hand-picked contenders whose only chance of get- ting the crown would be to win on a foul. Consequently, George Was given the go-by. Now that champion, Mickey Walker, 48 claiming the crown I have just passed on. He had a chance to win it the night we met in Chicago. Due to the condition I was In following a severe 1llness, Lomski, Braddock or Courlney would have knocked me for a goal in two or three rounds that night, but I won bandily from Walker, . Urges Walker to Fight. In the interests of thg boys in the 160-pound class, Walker should be forced to defend his crown or pass it on. There are plenty of good nien in that division just being kept on a tread- mill_because they are too good. Rene De Vos or Ace Hudkind would be als most, certain winners of the title if they could get the opportunity. But what & ITH the setting today of dates for the playing of The Eve- ning Star Cup competition for woman players, it now is certain that the golfers of the fair sex about Washington will have a Fall season filled with golf events. A team match is scheduled with & group of Richmond women in the middle of the month, augmenting a schedule which already calls for two miniature tournaments, with The Star Cup event to follow early in October to be followed by the Chevy Chase Club championship. The Star Cup event will be played at the Chevy Chase Club October 7 and 8. Steel Shaft May Develop Torsion Out at Pebble Beach some of the amateurs are driving with wooden shafted clubs, others with steel. It took the United States Golf Associa- tion & long time to permit tourna- ment use of steel shafted clubs. The British oppose them, Horton Smith was the meteor of Winter golf this past winter, using steel shafts, He was & vanquishing comet in the British open with hickory shafls, Talking with a British golf official at the 1929 United States open I acked him why they prohibited steel ‘A 16 WHERE \F SHAFT 15 STREL GOOD ORIVE RESULTS FRom‘p* CONTACT shafls. “Because they lack torsion,” he replied. What is torsion? Well, the best way to find out is to take a wooden-shafted driver in hand. Hold the upper part of the shaft in one hand and the head in another. ‘Twist with the lower hand and the shaft will twist with you. But a steel shaft won't. What does this mean? Simply that the steel shaft T!ven you a good drive off the heel whereas a ball so struck with a wooden shaft will not. The torsion of the wood forzles such & shot for you. It takes cleaner hitting to drive with wood. But the British are going to be licked, as American manufacture: have at last perfected a steel sha with torsion.

John LOTT, DOEG JOLTED BY VAN RYN, MANGIN — By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 3 —Right on the heels of the surprising reverse suffered in this country by the Ameri- can Davis Cup doubles combination of John, Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison has come the downfall of the new national cg;mplomhlp team of George Lott and John Doeg. Just two days after they won the title in the final at Brookline, Mass., Lott, the Chicagoan, and Doeg, the brawny Stanford University student from Santa Monica, Callf, caught a couple of tartars yesterday in the an- nual East vs. West series and as a re- sult, the West was beaten, instead of haviog a fighting chance to come from behind and win. Battling for the East was & new com- bination recruited from the courts of New Jersey—Johnny Van Ryn of East Orange and Gregory Mangin of Newark. ing together for the first time since they were kids, Van Ryn, the Da. vis Cup star and former Princeton cap- tain, and Mangin, the hard-hitting Georgetown junior, hammered out « surprising victory by scores of 6—1, 3-6, 6-2, The slender Texan, Berkeley Bell. beat Fritz Mercur.

By the same token, the status of Fugazy as & big-time promoter rests with Campolo. If Campolo can make good and go through with the list of battles Fugazy has mapped out for him, the fighter and promoter will be sitting on top of the pugilistic world. The burly Argen- tinian has had but 15 fights. With the exception of a knockout at the hands of Monte Munn against his record, he looms as a good fighter. However, the opinion that Campolo is more formidable than his fellow citizen, Luis Angel Firpo, is not shared by the writer. The new find has the height— 1ittle too much of it for his own good— but in appearance he is as far from being Firpo as & flyweight is compared to a heavyweight, Not Built Like Star. Two hundred and twenty pounds, spread over a frame of 6 feet 6'2 inches, is lost, and the new Argentine menace has an angular face, a long neck, a pointed chin and limpid eyes—charac- teristics that do not suggest the fighter. ‘The chief drawoack is that long, pointed chin.

With such a background, one cannot be blamed for reserving opinion on Campolo until he proves himself against & stiff puncher. Fugazy is planning big things for the fighter. On September 11 the Argen- tinian is booked to fight Phil Scott, the English heavyweight champion. In the event of victory, Campolo will be asked to fight either Jim Maloney or Max Schmeling. The latter is due back in this country early in October, and has promised fo give Fugszy a reply to his offer to fight®the winner of the Scott-Campolo contest. If Schmeling continues to ignore the order ‘of the local boxing commission by refusing the fight for Fugazy, Maloney will be pressed into service. Has Plenty of Places. The Argentine's promoter has Havana and St. Augustine, Fla., in mind for two showings with Campolo. He wants to branch out as an all-the-year-around promoter, and so is negotiating in addi- tion for the big auditorium at Atlantic City. This 1s not the first time that Fugazy has sought to corral a heavyweight, and thereby break into successful pro- motion of major contests. In 1926 he tied up with Paddy Mullins, then man- ager of Harry Wills, and appointed Paddy's right-hand man, Lew Ray-| mond, his matchmaker. This combina- | tion effected the Harry Wills-Jack | Sharkey contest, which Wills lost on a | foul in" 13 rounds. | The following year Fugazy had some | sort of an agreement with Renato Gar- | the advent of Arthur Dekuh as a possi- ble contender for the heavyweight title.

CHICAGO, September 3.—Sammy Madell's world lightweight title will not be on the block when he meets Luis Vicentin{, the slugging Chilean, at Chi- cago stadium Friday night, but he is sparing no pains to attain perfect con- dition for the bout. In spite of the heat and the holiday, yesterday, Mandell boxed two rounds each with Roy Trimble and Benny Matranga, and took a long workout with the big and little bags. He will enter the ring against the Chilean weighing about 13572 pounds. Vicentini also worked four rounds against spar mates. His right swing worked well and impressed a big at- tendance, which watched him workout. All the boys on the card will finish strenuous training Wednesday. Stanis- laus Loayza, another Chilean light- weight, will meet Joey Medill of Chi- - cago; My Sullivan, St. Paul welter, will tackle Alf Ros, Spanish-Hebrew body puncher, and Clyde Chastain of Texas will fight Jackie Brady of Syracuse, in 10 rounders. 4 PUBLIC LINKS NETMEN BEAT NAVAL INSTRUCTORS ‘Washington Public Parks racket wielders triumphed over the Naval Academy Instructors, 6 to 3. in a team match played yesterday on the Potomac Park courts. ‘Washington scored four times in the singles and twice in the doubles.
