Len is confident of his baseball ability and is now receiving a tryout with the New York Giants. (ißtematfonai SrwjrMli MULDOON WILL CONTINUE RULE New York. March s—(UP)—William5 —(UP)—William Muldoon. “Iron Duke" of the New York Athletic commission, refuses to recognize the current revolt against his autocratic control of American Pugilistic affairs and [ilans to continue as boxing dicta.or. Muldoon has taken personal responsibility for deciding the world's heavyweight championship and announced yesterday that he would award the title to the winner of » bout between Max Schmeling anti Jack Sharkey. Informed that Gene Tunney, dollar of the Muldoon-Tunney trophy aad skid hll contenders should be -liminaled before a champion is recagnized, Muldoon dissented. He said a champion should be determined ami then required to meet the chalenge.s at the lute of one every six months. 1 he veteran commissioner has an lounced that the Sharkey-Schmel-ug match must not be staged as a .eature of the milk fund show in ■ tine. Promoters of the milk fund ihow aLeady have arranged the natch. "The milk fund show should be nade a clearing house to determine i logical opponent to meet the Schmeling-Sharkey winner," sail Muldoon. "I will insist that 40 per cent of the receipts of that show ,o ,o me mlik fund and it is improbible that the promoters can arrange i Sharkey-Schmeling bout and run ne show for 60 per cent." Commissioners James Garley ami Jen. John J. Phelan announced the Muldoon had not spoken for the . ommission as a body but had given iis personal views. Farley and Phelan have allowed Muldoon to dictate ou.m ssioii policies in the past, but ndicated they might not support aim in attempts to tell promoters xhat matches they can stage. Farley feels that the commission was made to appeal ridiculomwhen Muldoon refused to sanction i Campolo-Risko match because tisko was "too little" to fight the A. gentine. The match was staged at Miami and Risko proved more than a match tor Campolo. ” Muldoon refused to comment re•[arsing criticism of his policy in n dating that Phil Scott be recognized as a sent.-finalist in .he competition for the heavyweight title.

The Vincennes aggregation has had a remarkable season and has defeated se’re-Ki! s-trtM’-g- toatny !n in,U; ue. Illinois and Kentucky, ’towever. snort critics are giving •be Commodores a slight edge over »h° So”thern Indiana netmen. It will be remembered that sov- ■ >1 years ago when the Catho’ic b'gb school gymua num was dedi- ; ted. Vincennes almost broke up •he show. The Commodores, who i-e’den'ally wore named Commothat night, staged a last m’nute rally to win. Since that • Ime Vincennes has been defeated hv the laiurentmen on several occasions. if the Decatur entry is success-, •ul in the opening game, they will hove to face the winner of tll.i W'shineton-Hnmmond game. It lively that Washington will win ard Decatur is given an even chance with Washington in the semi-finals.
