SCHMELING IS WITHOUT TITLE . Chicago. Jan. 19 (U.R>— Recogni- : tion of Max Schmeling of GerI many as world’s heavyweight box- | lug champion virtually was witb--1 drawn today by the National Box- | ing assoc iation because of his ' failure to defend the Hile within I six months, leaving him in the ■ position of a king without a coitnj try. Schmeling won recognition ns j champion bv winning on a foul from Jack Sharkey in New York 1 June 12. 1930. The German de-j , fended ills title against W. L. I (Young) Stribling at Cleveland I July 3. 1931, winning on a technic-' lal knockout in the 15th round.j , Thus in 18 months he has defended his title only once. Schmeling never has been recognized as champion hv the New | York State .Athletic commission. i Inasmuch as the N. B. A. is the I ; governing body in 29 states and I i is ass Bated with the Igixing com- ; missions of Quebec. Montreal i Porto Rico, Cuba and Mexico, and I ; the British board of boxing con-1 ■ trol and the International Boxing I union, governing body in contin- | ental Europe, Schmeling now i« | Ino more champion than Jack ; Detnpsey. retired titleholder preI pared for a comeback. General John V. Clinnin, presi-1 dent of the N. B. A., today mailed! back to Joe Jacobs, manager of, Schmeling. a check for $2,500 posted with the N. B. A. as a for-' feit Kinding a match with Mickey! Walker at Miami, Fla., February I * , The Schmeling-Walker match I i lias been abandoned, and Schinel-l j ing gets his $2,500 back because Walker never had up a forfeit. : Jack Kearns. Walker’s manager. I I gave Gen. Clinnin a check for! $2,500 but told him not to cash j it. The N. B. A. accepts only; . certified checks. In the regular weekly bulletin! I of the N. B. A. issued every Friday. the formal question of vacat-1 I ing Schmeling’s title will be sub-J 1 mitted for vote. This is merely a ! matter of form and under the N.: j B. A.'s 6 months rule Schmeling ! has deprived himself of recogni-' 1 tion as titleholder bv refusal to I i fight Schmeling last year went so far! 1 as to hold off signing a contract I to defend his title until the N. B. ;A. had submitted for vote the question of vacating his title. Be-j fore the vote was completed! Schmeling signed to meet Strib-’ ling. At that time 14 votes had j | been received and 12 of them fav-l ored vacating the heavyweight i title, with the other tw o in favor I of giving Schmeling a 30-day extension of time. The fact that Schmeling now is* negotiating for a match with Jack, Sharkey in June will have no effe t on his present status, according; to N. B. A. rules. If Schmeling; goes through with a match with Sharkey, which is uncertain in view of the fact that he has dodged him for 18 months, the public 1 probably would recognize the! winner as champion. The main penalty placed on ■ Schmeling l y the N. B. A s action | | is that he cannot claim the chain-1 i pion’s end of 3714 per cent in N.' B. A. territory. For instance in a ' match with Sharkey, the German | probaby would have to take 251 per cent with the same division going to the Bostonian. The N. B A. has vacated the i titles of two champions under its i , present administration. They were I 1 Maxie Rosenbloom, former lieht- 1 ! heavyweight champion, and Mickey ( Walker, former middleweight ■ champion. The N. B. A. now has tournaments in progress to select ! new champions in both divisions.: ' and may do likewise in the heavy I weight division. Thirty-six votes are represented ; on the board of governors of the I N. B. A., and 19 are considered a I majority or enough to vacate | Schmeling’s title. It is believed! the vote will be almost 2 to 1 to I withdraw recognition ofSchmeling; as champion. o St. .Joe Has Game St. Joseph eighth arade basket- 1 ball team will play New Haven 1 greaders at Catholic high schoel : gymnasium “Wednesday night at , 6:30 o’clock.

The flood of telegrams, phone calls and letters that * has inundated the Tarrytown, N. Y., home of Elsie I Janis, since the recent announcement of her secret marriage to Gilbert Wilson on New Year’s Eve, has convinced the “sweetheart of the A. E. F.” that she has lost none of the esteem in which she is held by her legion of soldier admirers. Miss Janis won the love of the entire American Expeditionary Force in France by her devotion to the boys \*hen they badly needed cheering up. Often she had to scream her «ongs to make them audible above the deadly rumble of the guns, but she sever faltered. With

New York. Jan. ..UJD —To the I question: "When is a sweetheart not a sweetheart?” the logical aniswer is: when she gets married. But logic has little in common with i sentiment, so Elsie Janis is relieved of the one cloud that marred her happiness when she recently mar- ‘ i ied Gilbert Wilson. , Miss Jan'-., we’ll continue to call ; her by the name that has come to Ihe rc| arded as anonymous with I “swell fellow." was afraid that on the announcement of her marriage she would lose some of the esteem 'that prompted our doughboys to ilestown upon her the title of the "sweetheart of the A. E. F." but. jto her great joy. those fears have ' proved groundless. Today, the plucky woman who 1 banished T.tsery brought on by : mud, death and desolation of the | trenches by her singing of " There’s I a Long. Long. Trail a Winding" and i kept the spark of home and hope alive in the hearts of the American i boys who so valiantly fought for I the glory of their country on Flanders battlefields, is ecstatically happy. Happy in her marriage, with I the added joy that came with the t knowledge that her thousands of I soldier friends haven't forgotten H er and wish her well. Since the announcement of her ’marriage.

Berne Bears continued their losing streak over last week-end dropping a game to Montpelier Friday and Petroleum Saturday. If the Bears ever shake loose from their losing ways and play the basketball they are capable of. they’ll make it tough for the Wells county tournament.

s her “Long, Long Trail a-Winding” song she forever kept the spark of home and hope glowing in hearts that often were very near despair. Miss Janis's romance with Wilson started after her mother’s death in 1930 in Los Angeles, where he was doing film work. It climaxed in their marriage in the office of Mayor Lehman at Tarrytown The newlyweds plan to go to California soon, where Wilson will go ahead with his screen work Miss Janis p ans to link her writing with the theatre.

Some are vouched in the only language i known to soldiers such as "You’ll always lie a regular guy to me, ■ Elsie." but they carry the sincerity -. tli.it comes only from the heart. Others remind Miss Janis that she i promised she would not ever tie i herself to one man. as she was in i love with the whole A. E. F. All i the messages are enthusiastic in - tone, renewing the writers" alleg--11 lance to the woman who won their > admiration in their hour of need. Miss Janis, once known as tlif . world s most famous bachelor gi®. • was married on December 31 in a secret ceremony in the office of I Mayor Eugene lathman of Tarrytown. and when the wedding was re- ■ vealed a week or so later the news i <ame as a distinct surprise to her I host of friends and admirers. Many who knew her intimately i were certain that the “Sweetheart ■of the A. E. F.” would never marry. ■ more especially since she turned ■ I down more proposals, while in i France, than any other woman in ■ history. [I Os course. Dame Rumor has ofteTi linked her mime in a martimonial ways with various men. but Elsie always insisted that she would never marry so long as her mother lived. The love of mother and teams in the county for not favoring Decatur as a sectional center is because the Adams county teams can make more money playing some place else Money, I Money, even in nice dean amateur spoils like high school basketball. The Yellow Jackets have an excellent chance of winning the Fort Wayne sectional —ls we get a break on the draw, it’ll he sc.r-e tourney—and our guess is that the winner of the Fort Wayne sectional can order hotel rooms fcr f the state tourney. i ■ I Winners at Bluffton.
