Slattery and \ Bass Handed Title Rating N. B. A. Announces List of Champs; Manner of K. 0. Count Changed. Bit United Press TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 18.—Joe Dundee, welterweight, and Sammy Mandell, lightweight, who have been in disfavor, today were recognized by the National Boxing Association as the champions of their divisions. The convention of boxing authorities in session here also moved to clear up the muddle in the light heavyweight division due to the action of Jack Delaney in relinquishing his title, by naming Jimmy Slattery as the new champion. Tommy Loughran claims the title and is recognized in New York State as the champion. Taylor Bantam King Mickey Walker was recognized as the champion of the and Benny Bass of the featherweights and Bud Taylor of the bantams. The title of the flyweights was declared open as the result of the retirement of Fidel Laßarba. Gene Tunney, of course, is the recognized champion of the world. Thomas E. Donohue of Hartford, Conn., was elected president of the National Boxing Association. The expected fight over the election failed to materialize when Paul Prehn of Illinois agreed to accept the first vice presidency. Barry Upheld In disposing of the DempseyTunney fight controversy the association went on record as approving the action of the Illinois authorities and Referee Barry in awarding the decision to Gene Tunney and then passed anew rule that when a contestant is knocked down the count shall be started immediately instead of after the other contestant retires to a neutral corner. If this rule had been in operation at the Chicago heavyweight fight, the timekeeper would have started the count the second Tunney was off his feet. The timekeeper would have kept up the count while the referee led Jack to a neutral corner. The referee then would have returned and taken up the count with the timekeeper.

Wealth of Young Material Bids Well for Future Elevens. PLENTY FIGHT AND PEP Back Field Boasts Much Speed, Fire. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Fight and pep! Those two words tell just what sort of a football team represents Manual Training High School this year. There’s fight galore and pep a-plenty abounding Garfield Park, where Coach Harry Boese puts his boys through their daily paces. The Manualites have yet to win a ball game. And yet Manual hasn’t a thing to be ashamed of. It has a fine team—a team that deserves lots of credit. The varsity eleven is green. That tells the story of Manual’s defeats. The South siders can afford to take the setbacks this year for unless we are badly mistaken the Red and White are going to make up for everything next fall. Only three of the varsity squad will be lost by graduation and Manual has something to look forward to. Give them a year under Coach Boese and the south siders may be sitting on top of the world. A dandy backfield shapes itself up at Manual. It is inexperienced but has lots of speed and power. Lawrence Laughlin is calling signals and Jones and Cutshaw are at the halfback posts. A huge 190-pound youngster, Owens, is taking care of the fullback job. Coomler, another big youngster, can work at half, as can Alex Burres, a speedy little fellow. Burres is a comer. He is short and stocky, has plenty of leg power and lots of drive. Cutshaw is the other speed merchant in the backfield. He is shifty and clever. Becker and McCann make a nice pair of ends. They are tough and husky. Beattie and Shearer are young tackles, but look like good material. Rasmussen and Adams re big guards, the former a hard man to get out of the way. Henselmeier, a veteran, is taking good care of the center position. He is big and fairly fast and can sling the oval back with a nice degree of accuracy. On the second string are several good looking youngsters who have been exhibiting good form. They are Phil Woerner and McNeirmey, ends; Weddle and Whitehouse, tackles; Miller, a guard and Kloeppe, a center. The lads lined up for a little scrimmage Monday evening after a lengthy signal drill in which plenty of fire was shown. The varsity held the scrubs in fair fashion. Then the first-stringers took the bail and Cutshaw, first man to carry the pigskin, cut loose with some dazzling speed and was down the field before the scrubs could get wise to themselves. Coach Boese is being assisted by Assistant Coaches Maxwell, Romeiser and Evans. From what can be seen the Manualites will show plenty of fight in the city series. Manual teams always do.

Tunney Expects to Meet Jack Again In ’2B; Color Line Drawn, He Says Gene Won*t Box Godfrey Regardless of Negro’s Standing; Thinks Tom Heeney Worthy Contender.

BY FRANK GETTY, United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. Oct. 18.—Gene Tunney sends word from the Maine woods that he wants to defend his heavyweight title twice next year. One of his opponents, he expects, will be none other than William Harrison Dempsey, back for a third try to defeat Gene after two .failures. Tunney thinks his other opponent may be Tom Heeney, the New Zealander, who is considered by Gene the best of the group of heavies who are about to take part in Tex Rickard’s elimination tournament. Wants Long Route The heavyweight champion will insist that the fights be over the fifteen-round route and believes he would have ended all arguments by knocking out Jack Dempsey at Chicago last month if the battle had not been limited to ten rounds. Gene told of his wishes, beliefs and prejudices in an interview granted A1 Buck of the Portland Evening News at Rockwood, Maine, the other day, and copyrighted by the Evening News. % “I would like to defend the championship on July 4 and then again in September,” Tunney said. "I expect Dempsey to be one of the two men I meet. Jack is too smart for the rest of the field.” Discusses Others In addition to Dempsey, Gene expects to meet the survivor of the elimination tournament, “I think Heeney Is the best of the present lot,” A1 Buck quotes Tunney as saying.

Tunney went on to discuss .e aspirants for his title. “There’*Jack Sharkey, of course,” he said, according to Buck. “But I think Dempsey alwnyd will be able to defeat Sharkey. Paolino and Phil Scott are rugged and strong, but my guess would be Heeney.” Color Decision Final The champion told Buck that even if G:orge Godfrey, the Negro heavyweight who stopped Jimmy Maloney and Monte Munn in short order, wers to win his way through an elimination tournampnt there would be no chance of a Tunney-Godfrey bout. “I have drawn the color line. I never have met a Negro boxer and never will,” Buck quotes the champion as saying. Quarter Back Spears of. Vanderbilt is generally considered the best back in Dixie.

Veteran Britton Loses to Youth i Bn United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—Another veteran has failed to beat back along the fistic comeback trail. Forty-two, year old Jack Britton, former welterweight champion, displayed only one of his old fighting qualities—a fighting head—in his ten-round bout with Hilario Martinez, Spanish junior welterweight champion, Monday night. Britton frequently outboxed the young Spaniard, but he could not stave off Martinez’s two-fisted attack that forced him into retreat many times throughout the bout. Martinez was awarded seven rounds. Considering the fact Britton fought his first bout the year Martinez was born, twenty-three years ago, the ex-champion’s showing against one of the leading challengers for Joe Dundee's welterweight crown is all the more remarkable.
