Burns will not get the opportunity to pull another boner this week as Promoter Turner has announced an- other officlal will referee the return match. He will be selected in a day or 50. Stein, young Jewish champion, and George Hagen, who held the United States Marine title, will clash in the semi-final match. Szabo, popular Hungarian champion, will engage George Mannish, a I former who will make his debut ere, in one of the four preliminaries. Mannish last week held Dick Shikat to a 45-minute draw in Philadelphia. Kley, undefeated wrestler-contor- tionist, will tackle Paul Favre, claimant of the Prench champlonship in another 30-minute preliminary. Fred Grob- meler, popular hook-scissors expert, again will be on the card, opposing a newcomer, Jack Hurley, from Butte, Mont., in the second match of the night. Grobmeler is undefeated in ngton.

NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, March 5.—For the time being, at least, the center of prize fight | interest has definitely | shifted to Chicago and away |from New York, where the late | Tex Rickard once builded a fisti- ‘cufl monopoly that laughed at ‘ competition. | It seems strange to see such arguments as Jack Dempsey's | ability to come back definitely | settled in Chicago against an | ordinary battler such as King | Levinsky, where, in’ the past, the |old champion dealt only with | Madison Square Garden, some- times without even the formal- | ity of a contract. | “And just as strange does it seem for the wealthy Garden, a $7,000,000 prop- erty that once was the heart and sinew of the fight business, entertaining a crowd of 10,000 for a lightweight duel between young Sammy Miller of Boston and the veteran Ray Miller, while Chicago, the same night, played host | to Ernie Schaaf and not-so-young Bill Stribling in the most important heavy- | weight fight of the indoor season. Statistics Tell Tale. But statistics tell the tale of a swing of important fights toward the Midwest and away from New York, once the golden land of the up-and-coming mauler. Chicago has its stadium, bigger even than the Garden, and a cagey matchmaker in Nate Lewis, who throws the huge building open only when he |is e of the attractiveness of a fight card. The Garden has been functioning haphazardly on several systems since the death of Rickard four years ago. | | but maintaining always that some set of bouts, good or bad, must be staged in the battle pit every Priday night that the Garden is available during the in- door season. ‘The results, since the first of the year, run something like this: Chicago has staged one championshi) tilt, a welmmthhégiue m;:h, lr:"‘!,g:‘ Jackie Fields, a cago boy, the 147-pound crown from Lou Brouil- lard of Boston. The closest the Garden came to putting on & championship bout | was the fiasco January 8, when Bat Battalino failed to weigh within 1C pounds of the featherweight limit, forc- ing abandonment of his match that night with Lou Feldman. Provides Good Cards. Chicago was able to provide Ernie Schaaf with such & foe as Stribling, last year's challenger for Max Schmeling's heavyweight crown, and the Garden’s best opponent for Schaaf was Salvatore Ruggirella, 2 ponderous Italian, whom Ernie belted out in four rounds. The Garden here has been able to show nothing that approaches the $75,- 000 gate Dempsey and drew in their four-round exhibition 18. | No gate since the start of the year here has bettered half that amoemt. In fact, the lone bright spot on the | Garden record so far in 1932 has been the development of Steve Hamas, a slugging young heavyweight, through his two-round knockout of the ageing, tremble-legged Tommy Loughran Janu- ary 15.
