A—15 Steele, Apostoli Title Scrap Will Be Blow to Geography Students FIGHT WILL BRING REALWORLD KING Thil, Now Out of Picture, Had Made Middie Crown Matter of Territory. BY JOHN LARDNER. EW YORK, October 20.—Fred- die Steele, the world middle- weight champion of Guam, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Portugal, South Dakota, Washington and the Plateau of Kurdestan (wa- tered by the Greater and the Lesser Zab) is confident that, in less than a month, he also will be the world champion of Paris, Indo-China, Bel- gium, the Balearic Islands end So- maliland. “It's simple,” says Frederick. “All T have to do iz lick Fred Apostoli, who claims to be the world champion of all the places I am not ‘the world | champion of up till & little while ago, ‘when people told me I was the cham- pion of the world, I figured that that meant the whole world, with maybe the exception of a couple of remote spots around the Congo and the North | Pole, where they get their news by dog sled. | “I won my title from Babe Risko in| good faith. When he gave it to me. I did not realize that the thing would bounce. The Bahe has an honest face. | 1 thought his checks were good. But then I hear he is traficking in other people’s property, because of a chap named Gorilla Jones. Handed Title to Thil. “(YORILLA JONES is a fellow I licked & couple of years ago. But T learn that, before I licked him. the Gorilla already had disposed of & world title of his own. He unloaded the thing in France, probably because of the exchange value of the franc 2t that time. The purchaser. they ell me. is Marcel Thil. & Frenchman. “Having whipoed the Gorilla myself, 1 do not pay very much attention to Thil. The world championship busi- ness is good in my part of the coun- try. and besides, I am informed that. | i1 T go over to Paris to fight Thil, I will run up against & French law which makes it illegal for him to lnse‘ a fight. There doesn't seem to be much future in that direction. | “S0 I go about my work, beating this fighter and that and feeling pretty confident that T am the real middle- weight champion of the world. ‘Then all of a sudden Apostoli beats Thil and becomes the .owner of Gorilla Jones’s second-hand title, which by now has seen a lot of travel and is & much-more broadened and cultured title than my own, though I don't think it is anywhere near as good. “What makes it all the more con- fusing is that I already have knocked out Apostoli back in 1835, before I ac- quired my championship in good faith from Babe Risko. But Apostoli is a fel- Jow who knows geography backwards ' and forwards, and, when he licks Thil. he estimates that he is now the world champion of a large part of the civil- j7zed world, as well as several oceans, | lakes, gulleys, rivers and ravines. | “1 will have to concede that I never have been in some of the places that Apostoli claims to be the world cham- pion of. For that matter, neither has | Apostoli. But he has read about them, ! and I guess there is nothing legally wrong with his point that vou do not have to open a restaurant in Bangkok in order to be the world champion of the town. ‘Would Save Trouble.

The trouble is, eoncluded Mr. Steele dolefully, “that as | soon as I have disposed of Apostoli and annexed his title some Hottentot will rise out of {he African jungle with the news that he has a title of his own by way of Kid McCoy or maybe the Nonpareil Jack Dempsey. There 1= nothing I can do about tha Mr. Steele’s problem is heart-wring- Ing. Your correspondent, anxious to | clear up the matter of boundaries, has been in conference with both the con- | testing parties—Champion A, Mr. | Steele, and Champion B, Mr. Apos- toll—and believes that their claims| should be staked out, roughly, as fol- lows: Steele—Having won his title from | Babe Risko (nee Harry Pylkowsky),| Mr. Steele is the logical world cham- pion of Poland and Pennsylwania and | Syracuse, N. Y. He also has a just| claim to his home State of Wlshing-i ton and, for good measure, the United States and Territories. Now, since Mr. Apostoli is basically the world champion of Paris, France, | Mr. Steele must be recognized as the champion of all anti-French territory, such as Italy, Germany, rebel Spain. Portugal, Ethiopia, Japan and parts of Gary, Ind. We will further con-| cede him Little America, Admiral Byrd and Brazil. Apostoli—This upstanding atlas stu- dent undoubtedly is the world cham- pion of Paris and vicinity. We also will give him France, England, Loyalist Spain, China, Russia, the Orkney Islands, San Francisco, Newfoundland and two outfielders. The League of Nations informs me, however, that none of these claims will be recognized until Mr. Steele or Mr. Apostoli, or both, have visited all the cities and nations in question and whipped every single inmate. Meanwhile, the League recognizes the late Stanley Ketchel as middle- weight champlon of the world. (Copsright, 1937, Wy the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)

YRACUSE, N. Y., October 20— No one in Syracuse will come right out and say that the Orange grid team will spank Maryland in Baltimore Saturday, but folk here do not hesitate to predict that young Marty Glickman will be just a8 much a headache to the Terps as he was to Cornell Iast week in Ithaca. Then all he did was to score two touchdowns, one of a 44-yard re- turn of a punt, to beat Cornell, 14 to 6. He didn’t get away against Maryland when the Terps played here last year and won, 20 to 0, but he is getting quite a different brand of support than he did a year ago. He ran wild at both of Syracuse’s earlier games with Clarkson and St. Lawrence and certainly no one can do anything but admire his great work against the powerful Ithacans, Net Only Fast But Smert.
