LONDON, May 31.—British boxing championships, as recognized by of. ficlaidom, the National Sporting club, are in a topsay turvy state today. Three championships—the heavy, light and bantam weights—are held | by men whom the club refuse to rec- ognize, And of the three champion- ships in question an American may be entitled to one. The heavyweight title is claimed by Joe Beckett, who vanquished Rifly Wells. But the club has ignored Beckett and will award the cham- pionship to the winner of the coming bout between Frank Goddard and Arthur Townley. Gives Away Title In the ght heavy-weight class, Dick Smith, who meets Georges Car- pentier at Strassburg in July, holds the title, But Smith hasn't fought under the auspices of the National Sporting club for a long time, and while he was busy training for his fight with the Frenchman, the club staged a match between Boy McCor- mick and Harold Rolph, and awarded the title to McCormick, who won when Rolph was disqualified, ‘The awarding of the championship to McCormick has brought protest from the press, who declare McCor- mick and Rolph are second raters, both having been defeated by Eddie MecGoorty, of St. Paul, and Augie Ratner, of New York, Club Criticized There has been some criticism of the club officials on what is de scribed by one paper as going back Jon their announced policy of May 1918.

Pair of Tilts toMack Men Mails Blows Up i Up in First Mix; Second Melee Is a Mound Duel Walter Mails, Seattle's noisy left- hander, blew up with a bang in the seventh inning of the first game with Portiand yesterday and the! ,.4 visitors walked off with the first) game of the Memorial Day double bill, Walt McCredie, Mails’ former boss and now pilot of the Portland team, was the chief cause of the rumpus, according to the way it looked from the stands. Y'see Mc- Credie, a truly canny Scot, was coaching on third base and he got Mails’ goat to such an extent that brother Walter couldn't find the| plate with the little round apple. Three men walked in this inning before one was out and then “Suds Sutherland, the visiting hurler, spanked out a single and a couple of runs dribbled over. To make.a long story short, Mails was yanked and Schultz sent to the mound. Portland scored six runs before the fatal seventh was/| closed, Seattle knocked Lukanovic from the mound in the second ses- sion but couldn't hit Sutherland, his successor. Up until the time that he did the aviation stunt Walter pitched | good ball, holding the visitors to po hits and no runs. Pitchers’ Battle The second contest was a pitch- ers’ battle between Red Oldham, Portland's ace, and Cy Falkenberg. The score was 1 to 1 until the; eighth when Red uncorked a home| run wallop over the right field wall| which put his team in the lead. Port'ond added another counter in the ninth, Seattle tied the s@ore in the fifth when Derrick delivered in the pinch, Portland scored its In- itial counter in the first inning.
