HEAVYWEIGHT MEET PLANNED Chicago, Dec. 31.-—(U.S) A heavyweight elmination tournament to select a new champion will be sanctioned by the National Boxing Association unless Max Schmeling of Germany signs a bona tide contract to defend his title within four days. General John V. Clinnin, president of the N. B. A., said today that if Schmeling’s title was vacated for failure to defend it within the six months, the following nine men entitled to enter a tournament to pick the German's successor: Jack Sharkey, Boston. Ernie Schaaf, Boston. Mickey Walker. New Jersey. Young Stribling, Georgia. Primo Camera. Italy. Charley Retzlaff. Duluth. Minn. King Levinsky, Chicago. Larry Gains, Canadian negro. Hein Mueller. Germany. Tommy Loughran. Philadelphia, although defeated by Levinsky in a recent bout, and Tufty Griffiths. Chicago, also might be permitted ' to enter such a tournament. Clin- j unVsairt Griffiths is temporarily inactive because of a recent oper-' ation f t appendicitis. ”1 consider these men the out- i standing heavyweights." said Cliurrin. "and I believe a tournament | involving them would produce a> real champion." “The status of Jack Dempsey. I former champion who is on the verge of attempting his second ■ comeback, will remain uncertain as : Itr as the N. B. A. is concerned 1 iwitil Dempsey proves he can tight in a legitimate match. “Dempsey will have to fight again before he can be given any consideration by the N. B. A.” said Clin rrfn. “He has been inactive for' tour years and there is some doubt I as to whether he is capable of re-! gaining his former form." Under the N. B. A.'s 6 months' rule Schmeling has until January 3 to post a forfeit of $2,500 to show his good faith in wanting to defend i his title in February or March. Be cause January 3 falls on Sunday. 1 Schmeling s grace will not expire! until January 4. "Mr. Jacobs, Schmeling's man-, ager, has protested against the N. I B. A.'s 6 months' rule and invited j attention to the fact that Dempsey, End others had defended Die title I when they saw fit. said Clinnin. ! "In response to his communication I Jacobs was advised that regardless' of what happened in the past the , rules of the N. B. A. will be en-'

| forced by the present administra,tion, and that the question of vacating the title will be submitted I; to the N. B. A. board of governors on January 2. and contract against a suitable opponent prior to Janluary 3." Negotiations for a bout between: 'Schmeling and Walker at Miami. , i Fla., in February have been halted temporarily by Jack Kearns. Walk er's manager, who wants the contest held in Chicago or lx.is Angeles. Kearns left for New York today I to confer with Jacobs and Madison Square G erden Corporation. He : teiterated before he departed that he would not sign for Walker to fight in Florida unless he received the proper guarantee and that he is further guaranteed the bout will [ l>e for the world's title. In answer to Kearns' ultimatum,! j Jacobs has said that Kearns must | ■ either accept the terms offered . him or Walker will be dropped as I | the leading challenger. The only two other opponents ' considered by the N. B. A. as suit- ! lable lor Schmeling at this time are ' Jack Sharkey and Ernie Schaaf. The interpretation placed on the | i present trend of negotiations by I .several boxing men who are in a position to know what's happening ' is that Schmeling wants to dodge* 'a title bout until this summer and | ; then meet Jack Dempsey. ELDER BEATS COMMODORES Decatur Catholic high school Coi'cimodores staged a rally in the • last half of their basketball game with Elder high school of Cincinnati last night but the rally fell short and the locals finished on the short end of a 24-15 score. The laturentmen failed to get | started in the first half and were! trailing at the rest period by a I 'count of 16-5. Stalling the second! period however the Commodores almost closed the big gap. The Decatur team completely out, kissed the Buckeye team in the last half and plttyed the heavier team almost off its feet. The lo'cals counted 11 points while Elder was grabbing off S points. | The team stayed In Cincinnati .last night and returned to Decatur late today. Lineup and summary: : Decatur (15) FG FT TP : C.
