(AP) A 163-pound bundle of dynamite, George Nichols of Buffalo, won recognition of the National Boxing association as. world s light heavy weight champion tonight by de feating Dave Maier, Milwaukee, in a furious 10-round battle In the Chicago stadium. The Buffalo long shot, 100 to 1 in the betting to win the N. B. A. elimination to select a successor to : Maxie Rosenbloom. scored a surprising victory oyer the Mil waukee contender by. his .bulldog determination. He outgamed Mai er. outsiugged him at times, ana whenever he was stung by Meier's heavy blasts, he fought back with such. ferocity that he always turn ed the scales In his favor. 4 The contest was the final of the N. B. A. tournament to determine successor to Rosenbloom. who was outsted as the tltleholder be cause of his refusal to tlefend It within the prescribed six months period. . . - -" i, .;-'' -f- - , Rosenbloom . may raise a howl over the action tonight, but Nich ols feels he Is the champion" be cause he defeated two fighters, in the tournament who had previous y beaten Rosenbloom In non-title contests.

Not mnohisclence, lots of poor judgment and poor hooting, bat worlds of fight. Several years ago In writing of a cnampionshlp game In the state tournament we declared , that championship teams are not born, neither are they made; they grow. It sun holds good. Both -Astoria and Benson had grown to cham pionship ycaubre. They had been through' the mill. If Astoria wins tonight it will deserve the honor: likewise If Benson had won last night and fought through to the championship, It too could wear tbe crown acceptably. ' Champions . can't be nuule, baft "Mush Torson came as near to it as any coach could. Ho has built np a great team this year. Clever strategy evolved ont of his knowledge of Salem's system almost carried his team to the final round. But they were not champions. In the final test they couldn't land the strain, because they hadn't been through the mill.. They may bo champions next Fear. me salem bora have hen mrougn tbe mill and we tmt iney too are of championship eal- BTv. uistory of two years aro repeats Itself and the Fishermen will oppose Salem for the title. The Salem hlah crowd rootud fn Astoria Friday night, and erery- uuuff is inenaiy. May the best iueu win. We're glad to say that so far, little "booing has been heard from the Salem bleachers.
