UNRECOGNIZED BY
Heavyweight and Bantam
Titles Only Ones Unclouded
by Action Lewis Crown
Lost by Dodging Fox
By JACK Cl-DDY
(United Pre Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK. July 28. (UP)
Pugilism's championships attained a
new height of confusion today fol
lowing the New York boxing com
mission's vacating of the llght
heavywelght title, withholding rec
ognition of the new middleweight
king, and frowning upon a proposed
battle for the flyweight crown.
This left only the heavyweight and
the bantam rulers free of embroil
ments. Bay lwls Dodged Fox
The commission vacated John
Henry Lewis' 176 -pound title because
the Arizona negro had refused to
accept a challenge filed on February
10 by "Tiger" Jack Fox, Spokane
negro. The commission claimed that
Lewis pretended to be arranging a
title defense against Al Gainer, New
Haven negro, at Philadelphia. But
the Pennsylvania commission In
formed the New York body that no
such match was In the making.
Meanwhile Lewis had accepted a
non-title match with Tony Galento,
Orange, N. J., heavyweight, sched
uled for Inst night at Philadelphia.
The match was cancelled because
of Oalento's Illness.
Lewis claims he has not violated
the six-months title defense require
ment because he defended against
Emlllo Martinez at Minneapolis on
April 35. The New York commission
did not recognlsro that as a title
match, because Fox wan the No. 1
challenger.
Round Kohln fliiggesled
Chairman John J. Phelan sug
gested today that Fox. Gainer, Gua
Lesnevlch of New Jersey and Emlllo
Bettlna of Beacon, N. Y., fight It
out for the vacated title.
The commission withheld recogni
tion of Al Hostak of Seattle, who
Tuesday night scored a first-round
knockout over Middleweight Cham
pion Freddie Steele In a title fight
at Seattle. The commission Insisted
that Hostak was not the No. I chal
lenger. It will recognize no cham
pion until Fred Apostoll of San
Francisco meets Young Corbett of
Fresno. Calif., and the winner of
that bout fights Hostak for the title,
if Hostak declines, then the Apos-
toll-Corbctt winner will be declared
champion.
Jurlch, Kane Oo Vetoed
The commission turned thumbs
down on a proposed bout between
Jackie Jurlch of San Jose, Calif., and
Peter Knne of England, to be staged
next month In London for Benny
Lynch's vacated flyweight title. The
commission suggested that Jurlch,
Kane, Small Montana, Katsuml Mori
aka and Little Dado fight through
eliminations for the 113-pound toga.
Meanwhile the commission will re
frain from considering the feather
weight title situation until after
Henry Armstrong, who wears both
the feather and welter crowns, tries
to add Lou Ambers' lightweight bon
net to his collection on August 10
at the Polo Grounds.

Seattle Gridmen
May Play Tigers
Here November 11
El
Billy Hulen.
Lakeside school of Seattle, Wash.,
versus Medford high's Black Tornado
the biggest lntersectlonal football
clash ever staged In this city.
It's not a riv
eted cinch yet: a
few more Import
ant detalla must
be Ironed .out.
but you can take
It from Bill Bow
erman, Tornado
mentor Just back
from a two-weeks
Job at O.M.T.O.
camp at Vancou
ver Barracks, that
negotiations bo
tween the two
institutions have
reached the point
where definite
announcement of the game can be
expected at any time now.
.In case guarantee terms are satis
factory to both aides, and a few
minor matters are ditto, the en
counter will be played on the green
stadium turf. November 11, Armistice
Day. And, what a titanic and color
ful pigskin struggle it would be.
Lakealde school, for the benefit of
short-memorled gridiron fans, sent a
football team down to Portland last
Thanksgiving Day to tangle with
Jefferson high's metropolitan champ..
Jeff was a decided favorite, but when
the final gun sounded the scora
was 6 to 0 In favor of the Beattle
ltes. due to a 101 -yard klckoff run
to a touchdown by a Lakeside back.
Portland sports writers afterward
called the visitors one of the finest
prep elevens they had ever seen.
I.akelrie every season produces
one of the most powerful foot-
k.ii machine In Washington
and It would be super-colossal
. occasion If H team could be
brought to Medford. It Is a pri
vate school for boys only, strictly
prep In every respect. It belongs
to no conference, but plays free
lance with amazing success.
Bill explained that Lakeside really
wanted to make the long Journey
down here for the game: that everv
phase discussed by mall so far was
agreeable to Lakeside officials. DU"
to the naturally heavy sugar tha.
Medford would be forced to guar
antee, however, the coach la not
rushing thlnga through. He wants
to get a slant on the reaction of
local fans: whether tney wouia nr.
come red hot over the prospect or
merely lukewarm. This fan. let It
be recorded, react red hot, and we'll
wager the same goes for at least a
couple of thousand othera In the
village.
Tn ! the Lakeside battle Is
slated, the Black Tornndo this fall
will face eight foea In grid atruc-
glea to the death, or less, rmir u.
thm' win be nlaved at home and
four on the road. While It Is not
an especially colorful schedule or
hnm. mmM. exceDt tor Lakeside. It
la a good, tough program, with two
of tha three Southern Oregon con
ference encounters taking place neri.
The Tigers will play host to Grants
Pass. Klamath Falls. Hoseburg and
Lakeside, maybe, and travel to Ash
trH n.nrl. Hood River and Eureka.
Cal. That's the same slate of gamfi
as last season witn tne exception i
Eugene, whose place Lakeside may
take.
Kvery game Is scheduled for a
Friday, under Ihe lights, except
(lie Athland game at Ashland on
Thanksgiving Dny and the ten
tative Lakeside rlush. The sched
ule sends the Tornado on three
long trips tn Bend. Rureka and
Hood River, and with the pos
sible exception of the Roseburg
affair, not one of the games can
he considered a "breather" In
any sense of the word. In fact,
with Lakeside on Ihe slate. It Is a
tougher schedule than last year's.
With Johnny Kitzmlller, the fam
ous "Flvlng Dutchman" of Oregon
football fame, Coach Bowerman has
been acting as athletic officer at the
C M.T.C. camp, at which about 27
Medford boys are spending part of
the summer. He has been eating
so many thick T-bone steak.? that
he raps the Fairbanks at a neat 193.
it nnitnd. more than when he left
here. He plans to get back In chap
by Jogging around the stadium track,
he said. '
Ths Medford high football schedule
for 1938 looks like this:
a,.mhH so Hood River at Hood '
River. A plenty tough opener, and
one the Tornado will be really point
ing for after lasc season a onc-poin
defeat.
October 1 Roseburg at Medford.
Apparently the softest touch on the
bill.
nrinbr u Eureka at Eureka.
The Tigers have an old score to set
tle with this team. also.
October 31 Klamath Falls at
Medford. The big conference clash,
and one that may decide the cham
pionship.
October 28 Bend at Bend. Every
body hopea the Lava Bears won't ha
so brutal this season.
November 11 Lakeside at Med
ford (tentative).
M.,amv,t 1R flranta Pass at
Medford. Another conference game.
November 24 Asniana ai An-t-
miTMnv hntt.lA of the vear. and
always one of the toughest for both
teams.
Thank, you. Al Hostak. Because
of what you did to Freddie Steelo
Tuesday night In that middleweight
championship prizefight, no longer
will people laugh when we sit down
to prognosticate; no longer will little
children run screaming home to
papa with the Information that "here
comes that man you always win
money from on prizefights": and no
longer will we be classified In the
same bracket with that peerless
plckster. Henry McLemore.
Until Tuesday night, McLemore
and yours truly were tied for the
left-handed prognosticating cham
pionship, with no wins and plenty
of losses. Now, McLemore la all alono
down there In the depths, while we
are fast becoming one of the shrewd
est boxing exports in the country.
In fact. It wouldn't surprise us a
bit If we correctly picked another
fight by 1945. Of course, we can't ,
guarantee that, having Just socked
our first one square on the button,
but one can never tell. When ono
has mastered the delicate Inrlcaclea
of prognostication, as we have, noth
ing Is Impossible.
Anyway. It sure feels good to be
able to leer down at Henry. And to
gloat In certain places In this town.
