_B—6 8 Louis Told to Fight Schm .3 GIVEN SIX MONTHS TODEFEND CROWN Battle German or Have His - Title Declared Vacant, Is N. B. A. Edict. BY BURTON HAWKINS, | HE Ratings Committge of the National Boxing Association today issued a warning to Joe Louis, world heavyweight champion, to meet Max Schmeling, its recognized No. 1 challenger in six months or have his title declared vacant by that body. “Pure sportsmanship” decrees a title shot for Schmeling within six months, Teels the committee, which said it ‘would recommend the title be vacated. Joseph F. Maloney, president of fisti- ana’s most authoritative governing group, stated, “I concur fully in the tdmmittee’s recommendation.” Opposes Jacobs Monopoly. ED by the District Boxing Commis- sion, the N. B. A. apparently has | decided to buck the monopoly created | by Mike Jacobs, promoter for the | Twentieth Century Sporting Club, which currently controls the heavy- aeight situation, The entire local commission, con- sisting of Maj. Ernest W. Brown, Kenneth Parkinson and Claude Owen, will attend the N. B. A.’s annual con- vention at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., on September 13 and force a showdown on the heavyweight muddle, Schmeling kayoed Louis before the latter won the title from Jimmy Braddock, who also avoided meeting Max in favor of facing Louis and the prospect of more money. D. C. Boxers Not Ranked. TRICTLY local scrappers were shunned by the committee in its quarterly ratings, although Charles (Hobo) Williams, who waged a cour- | ageous fight against Freddie Steele, world middleweight champion, before being knocked out in the eighth round here Wednesday night, barely missed the No. 10 spot in that division, which was awarded to Walter Woods, who chilled Mickey Flannagan on the same card. Joey Archibald, who has been signed to meet Lou Gevinson, local feather- weight, here on August 2, has been placed in the No. 5 position among the bantamweights following five sen- | sational victories here. Nearly a score of fighters who have appeared locally are rated, among Which are Steele, Barney Ross, John Henry Lewis, Petey Sarron, Freddie Miller, Mike Belloise, Kid Chocolate, Harry Jeffra, Norment Quarles, Ken Overlin, Jimmy Leto, Carl Guggino and Pete De Grasse.

HICAGO, July 23.—They'll be coming out for the Arlington Classic in a few hours now. ‘This is the most important 3- year-old Midsummer stake. A $30,- 000 race still is pretty important in season, for that matter. But that's not the only reason the Classic always draws the best 3-year-olds available. You see, Arlington Park is a “non- profit” track—meaning profits, if any, 80 back into the track for improve- ments and purses. 80 wealthy sportsmen in the East, who ususily own the best thorough- bred box-office attractions, like to help them out here. Tomorrow's Classic will not decide the 1937 championship. The honor belongs to War Admiral, who has run them all dizzy, but, unfortunately, could not return to training until last week. Pompoon Big-Name Horse, 'HE “big-name” norse tomorrow is, of course, Pompoon. Dan Clarke has been training this one up at tree- med Saratoga and they say he's Those who saw him win the Fu- turity last year and run second to the Admiral in the Derby and Preakness don't have to be reminded. Pompoon always impressed me as & speed horse, and those speed horses are my kind. He doesn't act like the sort to take a lot of hard campaigning, but runs mighty well when fresh, as he was when he whipped the toughest old sprinters in his very first start at Jamaica. Don't forget, with the Admiral out of his way he was going to laugh home in both the Derby and the Preakness. And the Admiral is out | of his way here tomorrow. | Dawn Play? Well, Trainer Hirsch isn't starting her. Flying Scot has not been coming 80 early of late. He took it on the chin a few times in the East before being shipped here, but has worked like an extra-fare train for tomorrow’s big bout. War Admir_u Training Again.

The records say, in case you're superstitious, that every one of the eight previous Classic winners shipped out from the East for the race.

Boom heartily for the first time in his career when introduced at the recent Variety Club show, Lou Gevin- son may recover much of his waning Ppopularity if he disposes of Joey Archi- bald, current fistic sensation here, in their 10-round bout at Griffth Stadium August 2. Forced to pull out on the eve of a previously arranged bout with the colorful little Archibald due to an in- fected nose, Gevinson has been in training for nearly a month at the Natlonal Guard Armory. Archibald meanwhile has trimmed Nick Jerome and Harry Gentile through technical knockouts, main- taining an unblemished record here following victories over Buddy Grimes, Larry Gunn and Ray Ingram. THIRSTY? Get a Carton of BEER IN CANS GTRADE-MARK AM. CAN CO. By Gtorae £ Huser- UNDAY was not exactly ladies’ day at Qcean City, Md., but representatives of the fair sex did all right for themselves. The record marlin so0 far this season is 103 pounds, and an anglerette caught it. Mrs. William McCabe of Ocean City and her husband were fishing with Capt. Crawford Savage when she hooked into one of the leaping giants. For 1 hour and 20 minutes she fought it, finally getting it up into the boat. It measured 7 feet 4 inches long and had a girth of 31 inches, sword of 24 inches and a tail spread of 21 inches. She had another marlin on for 20 minutes, but lost it when the wire leader broke. probably after becoming twisted. William McCabe brought in a 91- pounder, just 2’ pounds less than the previous season record. They sighted four more, but failed in their efforts to get them to strike. Another woman angler who scored with & marlin Sunday was Mrs. J. Stroock of New York City, on her ( first big-game trip with Capt. Harry Gilbert in the Pal. Her fish weighed 79 pounds and was landed in 2 hours and 30 minutes. SEVERAL other marlin were hooked and played at Ocean City Sunday, but most of them were lost. Also caught were some dolphin, a few tuna and some bonito. These fish seem to be moving in while the blues probably are on the way out. Among the more successful parties over that way was a group of several Eastern Airline pllots and local sportsmen. Jim Franklin, Herbert Schulte, Bert Purnell, Dick Dice and Milton Gordon went out with Capt. Watson and cap- tured 112 blues and*2 bonito. All were caught on those small feathers, red head rather than the usual yellow. Although the fish were plentiful, none of the blues weighed over 2%, pounds. Other good blue catches were made recently at Ocean City by D. B. Ed- monston fishing with Capt. Bardy Mathews on the Miow, and J. D. Hill and Joseph Witkowskey, with Capt. William Burbage, on the Dalsy Lee. John C. Hayes' marlin weighed 65 pounds and put up a 25-minute battle. SOME faint stirrings in the Chesa- peake Bay bluefish situation.

Immediately the men were around the school with circular gill nets, it was declared. About two years ago circular gill nets were declared fllegal in a test case, but they still are used. Nothing much can be done about them as anglers and sporting organi- zations have found in the past.
