TITLE SCRAMBLE _ ~ ISONINEARNEST ‘Claimants to Ring Crowns More Numerous Every Day ©y the Amociated Press New York, Aug. 25.—(M—The _current and prospective scramble to claim or dispute ring championships seems more intense than any actual title fighting. ~ The situation will assume addi- tional complications when Fidel La- barba the curly-haired, stylish fly weight champion forsakes the ring _for the college campus at Sanford next month. A Unless a few disputes are settled in the meantime, four‘of the eight main title divisions will be in an un- settled condition. Already the pack has taken up the chase for Labarba's 112 pound hon- ors. Franke Genaro, the little New York Italian who lost the American flyweight crown to Labarba, has started a comeback. Billy Kelly of Scranton, Pa., and Blas Rodriguez, | a Mexlcan, are among the other can- didates, but Newsboy Brown of Sioux City Towa, if he “still makes the * weight, ought to be among the fore- most contenders in any elimination battle. Bud Taylor, the Terre Haute box- er, is generally recognized as the bantamweight titleholder, successor to Charley (Phil) Rosenburg, who lost the championship on the scales last winter. Taylor, in spite of his convineing victory over a New York rival, Tony Canzoneri, isn’t recogniz- ed by the boxing authorities here al- though he has the backing of the National Boxing association. Canzoneri is now a contender for the featherweight title, vacated a year ago by Kid Kaplan, but Tony is in the position of the gentleman who was all dressed up with no place to go. As- this 126-pound class stands right now, Philadelphia appears to have the edge on New York in a, race to award the title to a worthy battler. Red Chapman, of Boston, and Benny Bass, a home-town fav- orite, are slated to meet in Phila- delphia September 12 in a bout ad vertised as for the title. New York ring board had sanctioned a “title bout” between Chapman and Can- zonerl but it isn't likely to take place. The light heavyweight title, voluntarily relinquished by Jack De- laney because of his desire to bag bigger game, is a fourth source of dispute, The veteran Mike McTigue is recognized as the champion in New York but not by the boxing boards of other states affiliated with the National Boxing association. Mike is matched in October with Tommy Loughran, Philadelphia | rival and this bout may settle (nci controversy. Despite the pairing of “Little Bill"” Johnson and “Dick” Williams in the national doubles, it Is still more than likely that the other two members of the Davis cup team, “Big Bill” Til- den and Frank Hunter, will be the doubles selection for the internation- al matches. It will afford an inter- esting and perhaps decisive test should they mect in the national doubles tournament at Boston next week. It is difficult to fizure, however, how the versatile and hardy Tilden can be left out of the doubles com- bination. “Big Bill” has shown an amazing ability to adapt himself to various partners and _win doublc titles. He teamed with Vincent Rich- ards to win three national cham- pionships and with Brian Norton, the South African, to capture an- other. He won the Davis cup doubles with Johnston in 1920 and 1924 and with Williams in 1923. Last y Tilden and A. H. Chapin, were, the top ranking doubles team to the non-ranking of Richards and Williams—and this year Big Bill and Hunter won the Wimbledon championship, as well as numerous other events. It Tommy Hitchcock's perform- | ‘ance in the decisive trial match for the American polo team was a crite- rion of his present form, little .alarm need be felt about his health. “That was the greatest four min- utes of polo I have even seen,” one | veteran observer declared after Hitcheock had gone wild, dashing up and down the ficld to score threc goals almost single handed and fn ,rapid succession. The American team can well af- ford to give Tommy whatever rest he may need and still be assured he will ride out against the British September 5 in top form.

A fine of $100 and costs and a sus- pended jall sentence of 15 days were imposed in the case of John T. Baker, aged 51, of 400 East street by Judge Morris D. Saxe in police court today on the charge of oper- ating an automobile while under in- | fluence of liquor. Through Judge William F. Mangan, Baker pleaded nolo contendere and admitted he ad been drinking in Meriden last riday before his car backed over the curb stone and struck an iron pole at Main and Elm streets. Officer A. C. Walinczus testified that he saw Baker backing the car in a manner that aroused his suspicions and when Le spoke to him he noticed that he was not fit to be at the wheel. Lieut- [enant Samuel Bamforth, who was at |the desk when Baker was brought to police headquarters, corroborated the officer's judgment of the man's condition. Baker said he had never been ar- rested before and for 18 years he had kept the pledge, which he is willing to renew and observe. Judge | Mangan brought out that nobody was struck or injurcd as a result of Baker's handling of his car, and Mrs. Baker is unable to $ouse unassisted because of illness. 'Che man’s good record should also Ibe taken into consideration, Judge Mangan said. Judge e placed Baker on probation to pay the fine and costs.
