WEDNESPAY, Oetieg 23, 1940 PAE ROAD TO SAAN EL by Rita Aotler Hanser YESTERDAY: Although she is virtually a captive, being escort- ed to the court of a great Mon- golian prince by Temu Darin, the Prince’s friend, lovely Lynn Britton cannot put down her in- terest in Temu altogether. Their car just has been beset by brigands, and to her own sur- prise Lynn found herself firing against them with her captor.

Others crowded in and stared at Lynn with all the curiosity of a jcat and none of the friendliness ; of a human being.

To be continued IN BUSY MEET LAST EVENING CHANGE OF GAME-TIME VOT- ED DOWN: SEEK TO CALL FOUR INNINGS AN OFFI- CIAL CONTEST Board of Managers of the Key West Amateur Softball Associa- tion held a busy meeting last night in City Hall, beginning at 7:30 o'clock. Vice-President Lt. M. O. Donohoo opened the ses- sion in the temporary absence of President R. T. Thompson, who arrived several minutes later. he proposed amending to the by-laws, changing starting time of the opening game, length of each contest and alternating the is ing of fizst games on sched- uled nights by Service and Civil- ian Leagues, was unanimously voted down. At meeting. the proposal gained a favorable vote of the managers present and was sent to the Board of Commission for approval. Mr. Thempson, manager of VP53, ob- jected to the playing of second games due to the exigencies of government forces in Key West anid presented his sentiment to the chairman of the commission, who returned the amendment to the managers for reframing. However, it was decided to abi by the original by-law. Manager Theodore Albury an- nounced that Sawyer’s Barbers had definitely decided to with- draw from the Civilian League in protest to the commission’s rescheduling of their game with the Peppers Plumbers at the opening of the season. The de- cision was accepted by the mana- gers, who voted to make all mem- bers of the Barber ten free agents. Umpire-in-chief Amos _ had awarded the game in question to the Barbers because of insuffi- cient Plumber players. At the commission hearing it was prov- en the Plumbers had ten men on the field but that an argument by Oscar Capote, coach of the Bar- bers, caused two members of the Peppers to leave the field. Com- mission held Capote “responsible for the game not being played and rendered its decision of re- scheduling the contest. A letter from Wm. J. Barfield, concerning the proposed amend- ment voted down last night and {also the withdrawal of the Bar- bers, was read and ordered placed on file. A revised schedule will be pre- sented for approval at the meet- ing next week. Games for to- night, Friday and Monday nights were selected by the managers until the new schedule is pre- sented. Inasmuch as the present time- limit of an hour and fifteen min- utes for all games will be ob- served, it was suggested that four innings constitute an official game instead of the five innings now in force. The proposal will be voted on at a joint meeting of the Boards of Managers and Com- mission Tuesday of next week. Attendance of the commission is requested in grder that the change may be put into effect imme- diately if it meets approval. Leo Stanley was admitted to |the manager board as“ head of the Merchants’ club of the Civil- ian League. Former manager George Malgrat resigned yester- day. Sgt. George Nodine. represent- ing the Army at the meeting, in- formed the managers his team will furnish the association with a new ball. Manager C. U. Alls- house will donate a scorekeeper’s book.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN PROVIDES VARIETY OF CHAMPIONS ° Trace History Of Divi- vision Since Abdica- tion Of Walker (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third in a series of stories on American boxing.) By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editor, AP Feature Service The middleweight division has been in such a muddle for the last decade that fistic fans refer‘ to the 160-pounders as muddle- weights. Except for short periods the National Boxing Association, the New York commission and other ; state commissions have been at odds over so-called world cham- pions during most of that stretch. All boxing authorities can agree on only three world cham- ions—Heavyweight Joe Louis, Light-Heavyweight Billy Conn and Bantamweight Lou Salica— but none of the divisions have been quite so puzzling as the muddleweights since Mickey Walker withdrew to take on the heavyweights in 193L. Just to show you how things went we'll trace the middle- weight championship trail back to Walker: Two Tourneys B.A. ordered an elimina- tion tournament to determine Walker's successor. New York did too. Gorilla Jones technical- ly knocked out Addone Piazza to gain N_B.A. recognition. Ben Jeby grabbed w York designation by defeating Chick Devlin in 1932. The N.B.A. went along with Marcel Thil when he won from Jones on a foul in France. The New York version of the title passed in succession through title matches from Jeby to Lou Brouillard to Vince Dundee. When Thil, as former President Harvey L. Miller of the N_B.A. explains it, “couldn't lose in Paris and won fight after fight on fouls (when no fouls were com- mitted)” the NBA. vated to withdraw title recognition and Trecognized the bout between Dundee and Teddy Yarosz for the title. | Yarosz beat Dundee and was champion of both N.B.A. and New York. The crown passed from Yarosz to Babe Risko and on to Freddie Steele. The the two commissions forked off again on separate title roads. The N. Steele Out The N.B.A. continued Steele as champion but New York with- drew recognition when Steele re- fused to fight its candidate, Fred Apostoli, in New York. Apostoli had technically knocked out Steele in a non-title fight and previously had knocked out Thil. The New York commission de- cided that Apostoli and Young Corbett would fight for the crown. Apostoli knocked out Corbett. Ceferino Garcia beat Apostoli and Ken Overlin won from Garcia. Steele risked his N.B.A. title against Al Hostak and was knocked out. Solly Krieger kay- ced Hostak and was then knocked jout by Hostak in a return’ match. Tony Zale recently won from Hostak. If a Zale-Overlin match can be arranged a generally accepted champion would emerge. Even then Billy Soose would have to be considered for he has scored non-title decisions over both Zale and Overlin. Overlin is schedul- ed to defend his title against Steve Belloise November 1 in New York.
