IN“TITLE" BATTLE Matched for 15-Round Bout on Night of June 10 at Ebbets Field. EW YORK, April 28 (#)—The United States is due to outdo itself in the crowning of two “recognized” world heavy- weight boxing champions. The country has boasted at least one heavy king almost since it was a country, but only the most optimistic ever dreamed of possessing a pair. Their vision and foresight at last is to be rewarded. Jimmy Johnston, dapper Brooklyn promoter, yesterday gathered all the boys in the same room and announced, very formally, that Jack Sharkey and Primo Carnera had signed for a 15- round champlonship engagement the night of June 10 at Ebbets Field. That makes it & pair, as Max 6 | Schmeling and Young Stribling already " | were under contract to clash at Cleve~ land July 3 for the very same purpose. There is, technically speaking, only one available heavyweight title, but that is beside the question. Four of : | them are going to fight for it, just the same. Both Sharkey and Carnera attended y's gathering here. There was yesterda; ‘mi an_elaborate luncheon, photographers took pictures of all concerned and the whole thing smacked of the big time. The two gladiators sat across the board and glared at each other between forkfuls. ‘The attraction has yet to receive the sanction of the New' York Athletic Commission, which no longer recognizes Schmeling as the heavyweight cham- ion, but prospects were that little mat- r would be attended to at today's regular weekly gathering. The com- 303 | missioners have indicated they will give the match their blessing. Only two weeks ago they lifted a suspension they had draped over Carnera, supposedly paving the way for yesterday's an- nouncement. Carnera originally signed an ment to meet the winner of the Schmel» ing-Stribling bout at Cleveland, but he since has repudiated his contract with the Illinols Madison Square carporlmm ‘The Garden has threatened to take the thing to court.

CHICAGO, April 28.—Unless Jimmy Londos, one of the leading claimants to the heavyweight wrestling champion- ship, signs within 10 days to meet Ed “Strangler” Lewis, former titleholder, wrestling matches will have to be billed as “exhibitions” instead of “contests.” Lewis and his manager, Billy Sandow, yesterday posted a check for $5,000 with the Illinois State Athletic Commission as a forfeit for a match with Londos to clear up the championship situation. Ed White, manager of Londos, indicated he would not consent to such a match, causing Gen. John V. Clinnin, chair- man of the Illinois Commission and president of the National Boxing Asso- ciation, to state that wrestling would suffer a change of; status unless the match is held somewhere. Gen. Clinnin also said member States of the N. B. A.'ouldbellkeflto"kz the same action concerning the grap- pling game. P Minor Leagues International League.
