Elimination Tourney May Be Staged to Untie Heavyweight Knot LIST OF HOPEFULS CROWING STEADLY Nestell and Pastor Appear Best—Braddock’s Title May Be Vacated. _ BY JACK DEMPSEY. HE heavyweight title picture changes from meeting to meet- ing and mood to mood. but the fact remains Gen. John J. Phelan, New York commission chair- man, has assured Max Schmeling that the commission pects” Jimmy Braddock to honor his contract to fight the German here June 3. The general also instructed Max to report for the weighing in that day. “Officially” the commission doesn’t know about the Braddock-Joe Louis fight in Chicago June 22. + But if T understand the general's at- titude, he indicates his office will sus- pend Braddock should he fail to meet Schmeling June 3. Or even more drastic action may come. The title might be declared vacant, with Schmeling named as the man Wwho “must be beaten” for the crown. Talent for Tournament. ‘HAT would probably mean one of those “elimination” tournaments. 8o I'm getting a line on the like men who would scramble in the “elim- tnation.” Bob Nestell, a youngster being groomed by my old friend Gus Wil- son, in California, looks most promis- ing. Bob Pastor, who fooled me by stay- ing the limit with Louis here, will show how good Nestell is when they meet May 28 in Los Angeles. Wilson, an old hand at training, conditioning and ‘“calling” prospects, writes, have something in Nestell.” ‘These two seem the best of the crop. Still, I know plenty of fight sharps who argue for Nathan Mann, New Haven; Harry Thomas, Chicago, and | Jimmy Adamack, Detroir, all hmy} prospects. Then there are two importations, George Bresica and Arturo Godo; 1 Lee Ramage from Los Angeles, and Johnny Erjavec of Detroit. All have ! shown good fights, but haven't been | consistently title timber. George Lawrence, veteran manager, and his partner, Joe Woodman, managed the famous Sam Langford, recently imported Hans Havelick from Austria. | This impressive young man—he's 23 and weighs 196—tells me he's had 40 fights and was an amateur ch: for three years, Rates Havelick Highly. NIAX MACHON, Schmeling's train- er, thinks highly of Havelick, and so far as looks go, he caiches my eye. I'll have to see him go bcforci venturing a guess. i Hans knocked out the champion of | ¥ France, Sauvage, in six rounds, | knocked out Andre and also flattened | Hower. The latter bout was for thei German title, | So Havelick is champlon of three | countries — Germany, France and ' South Africa. Of course, most of these fighters | never were heard of over here and it | remains to be seen how good Havelick | really is. - | I may have missed a rising fighter | or two, but this is the line-up of pros- | pects I get from men in all sections | of the country who know the sport | and are eager to be the first to let me know. I wish somebody would tell me how | this title knot is going to be untangled. | Three men are training for one fight | =you know that doesn’t make sense! e (Copyright, 1937.)

NINE Greatly Improved Middies Have Won Five in Row—Expect to Trim Terp Trackmen. 8pecial Dispatch to The Star. ANNAPOL!S, Md, May 19.—Navy's base ball and track teams, which meet those of the Military Academy a week later, will have their /final tests here Saturday against George- town and Maryland, respectively. As the lacrosse team has no game scheduled this week, last Saturday’s game with Maryland was the last in that sport except for the clash with Army, Frank McKay and Jerry Bruckel are likely to divide the time on the mound against Georgetown as a final test as to which will start against the Army.

FIFTH 10-round bout today was added to the police benefit boxing card at Griffith Sta= dium June 2 as Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn signed Ray Ingram, local featherweight, to clash with Joey Archibald of Providence, R.

He was disqualified in a recent Providence bout for rough tactics. Gevinson on Card, Too. OTH Ingram and Gevinson, who were slated to collide, but were banned by the District Boxing Com= mission, due to Lou's alleged inex= perience, now have spots on the card, Gevinson being scheduled to meet Johnny Pena, who trounced the sharpe faced Jewish lad in his fourth profese sional start.
