TO RECOGNIZE MAX SCUMBLING New York, June 16.—(U.R)--IT aoral recognition of Max Sclimeling as world's heavyweight champion was forecast today by the flood lif offers from all parts of the world for his services. Sclimeling already has received 1 two offers to defend his title. Nate I Lewis, Chicago promoter, has prom- ■ ised him $3(10,000 to meet the winner of Wednesday night's bout at Chicago between Otto Von Pourat of Norway and voting Stribling of I G orgla in a title macth, with the German naming the date of .the contest. A syndicate of Bayonne, N. J., business men. headed by Bill Hermenau, New Jersey promoter, guaranteed Schm ling $150.1)00 to meet Harold Mays. New Jersey heavyweight champion and former sparring partner of Gene Tunney, in a 15 round bout at the ersey City I ball park late in September. Othir offers to make personal appearances, act in motion pictures and on the stage have been received from all parts of the United Slates and six foreign countries. Joe Jacobs, the German's manag r, said today that Max must have time to consider the offers. It is considered unlikely that' Schmeliug will tight again in this country before next June, although he is understood to be considering engaging in a bout in Germany against an American heavyweight. With the National Boxing Association alieady on record as recognizing Sclimeling as champion, the New York state athletic commission probably will approve the German as champion at its meeting on Thursday % ——■ 11 —- -

June 16 —(U.R) —A des-1 perate. four cornered battle for ( first place was in progress today. . in the American League. The Philadelphia Athletics were ' out in front by half a game, with Cleveland. Washington, and the New York Yankees following :n that order and only two games separating the league-leading Ath-j letics from the fourth-place-, Yankees. All four first division teams ’ have lost 21 games, the difference in their standings resulting from 1 the fact the Athletics have played 55 games, the Indians 53, the Sen-, ators 52 and the Yankees 51. The standings of the four lead- | ers up to today's games follow: Team W L Pet. Philadelphia ... 34 21 .618 I Cleveland 32 21 .604 Washington 31 21 .596 New York 30 21 .588 The Athletics regained the lead yesterday by breaking a 5-game losing streak with a" 10-1 victory i over Detroit, while the Yankees 1 gulled the Indians back to second ' ! place -with a 17-10 triumph. With the Athletics and Senators ‘ playing less than .500 clip during the present western invasion, the Yankees have won eight out of eleven games in the west and fought their way back into the pennant race after their miserable I start. I, Philadelphia has lost 7 out of 12 I games in the west and Washington . has dropped 6 out of 10. four ! games being lost by one run. The outlook for Cleveland is not bright, with their next 16 games to I be played against the Athletics and Yankees, 13 of them on the road. The recent New York-Detroit i trade which brought Outfielder | Harry Rice, along with Pitcher Owen Carroll to the Yankees, In ' exchange for Mark Koenig and Waite Hoyt, appears to have plugged the Yankees' last weak gap in the outfield. p GOLF RECORD IS EQUALLED Joylake.

for Chicago. Editorially, the papers of the city united in a campaign to expose alliances between gangsters and police officials, raising more than' $55,000 in rewards for information' leading to the capture of Lingle's killer. Russell blamed prohibition and a shortage of police funds for thej gang wars which caused more tlian j 100 murders here in th? year before Lingle waa killer. "Prohibition is an insurmount-1 able obstacle to law enforcement' and I don't care who know it," Rus-; I aell said. "We haven't had enough money to put up the kind of battle w wanted to but we have done mighty well under the circumstan-, cea and we don't have any alibis. The reformers can not come in here and smell around as long as they like. I'm going back to the captaincy from which I worked my way up to commissioner and I II be" on call wh n I'm needed again." The Russell-Stege resignations were the first break in what promised to boa momenteous day in the campaign to run the gangsters out of Chicago. ,At noon 60 business leaders m t at a secret luncheon with Col. Robert I. Randolph, Head of the Association of Commerce. Rumois wer? plentiful concerning what this powerful group of merchant princes, bankers and manufactuH is would do. One rumor was that they would demand that Mayor William Hale "Big Bill" Thompson step aside in the inter sts of setting up a new government to purge the city of crime in time for the world's fair in 1933. It was reported also that the business leaders would subsu ibe a large fund for the support of whatever program of action they might adopt.
