HOULD Godwin and Nichols create sufficient interest Cornell will be in a real position to stage an unofficial tourney among the light-heavies. Al- ready he has contacted Joe Knight, per- the hardest-hitting ringster for his weight in the country, and the black-haired Georgian has announced his willingness to step in the ring with the winner of the Godwin-Nichols Rosenbloom, too, has listened to overtures and Slapsie Maxie, known to be the busiest champion in the game today, is not one to dodge a battle.

YEAR and a half ago Nichols lit- erally was burning up the boxing world, lathering Scozza, Joe Bano- vie, Jones, Belanger, Maier and in- numerable other top-flight Finally he was installed by the N. B. A. 8s champion. Rosenbloom, recognized as the title holder in New York, was ordered to meet Nichols, but Slapsie Maxie declined. Then Nichols risked his crown against Joe Knight. Also a left-hander, Knight whipped George. Hardly had he settled the crown on Bhis brow than Knight, not in the best of shape, tackled Godwin. Bob won the fight and with it the N. B. A's erown. Godwin and Rosenbloom then were matched in Madison Square Garden. Bob entered the ring with two eye outs, suffered in training. Maxie prompt- ly opened each cut and was awarded the fight on a technical knockout. ‘The memory of that defeat still Mngers with Bob. He will be shooting tn earnest tomorrow against Nichols, hoping it will pave the way for a re- turn bout with Rosenbloom. Primo Bankrupt, Petition States By the Associated Press.

BY ALFRED DAYTON. EW YORK, June 17—Ben Jeby is the most disap- pointed boxing champion in the world. The holder of a title, disputed or otherwise, general- 1y excites promoters into making an offer with the idea of getting the fans to pay more than the ordinary price of admission. Jeby, middle- welght champion, has been ignored and he now is wondering how much his title really is worth Jeby should look over his record and read the answer.

Ben has had three fights since the throne claimed by 3 of Prance. Vince Dun- dee and Gorilla Jones made him look bad and young Al Rossi went along as if Ben were just a semi-final fighter. These fights did not help Jeby a bit, and if he cannot do any better than he showed in them he is better forgotten. A title claimant must have something more than willingness and a cast iron jaw or the fans will ignore him. Jeby told this observer today that he is ready to step in with any middleweight in the country. Lack- ing an opponent here, he is willing to make a trip to France, if Jefl Dickson will risk a defeat for his pet, Marcel Thil.

But the giant Italian shakes them off easily and flails away viciously whenever Les gets one over. Billy De Foe, a ranking featherweight of some years back, is in charge of Camnera. The wonder of it is that Primo gets the gist of Billy's orders, as he speaks very little English and makes himself understood by drawing cartoons. Every time Carnera has an important fight on, he gets a new trainer. First it was the wily Abe Attell, who tried to teach Primo how to use a left jab. Just as soon as the Italian's manager found this out, Attell was out of a job.
