Light-Heavy Champion Maxie is Light on Dough, Heavy on Ability.

BY WERNER LAI'FER MAXIE RO6ENBLOOM, light heavyweight champion of the world, is anything but a piker. He wont bat an eye at a >63 cover charge. Neither will he be consoled if his mighty training workout on Harlem dance floors is halted before 6 a. m. But right now. light heavyweight champion Maxie is light on dough and heavy on ability. Thtrt to me* a time, ettn in the life of a Hcbt bearrweiaht champion, when It lx embarraininr to have to offer a morteaee on a I<-karat (old rhampinnehip rrown to pae the dinner (berk and reward the bead welter. a a Made hasn't earn# da dime since he j •oread hia padded mitt* over the features of Jlnimv Slatterv for the championship in Buffalo. He faces a situation similar to that of Berlenbach. McTlruc De anev and Louehran. his predecessors who licked the bovs In their class and automatically put themselves out of work. m m m Kohodv care* whether or not Maxie ever la wiatrhed arain with anv of the bovs he defeated In hia climb to the top. Nobody earea whether or not he wants to hold on to his phoney crown —that Is. nobody hnt Maxie Rosenbloom—and the New York poxinr Commission. The commission sacs he must (tve up the title if be flehts hitter men. That’s all rl(bt with Maxie: he'll fttht anybody so lona as the tate la altable enouth to enable him to plrk the ala earte disheo at random Instead of toinr for the table d’hote. mm* RIGHT here we must usher in Mickey Walker, middleweight champion, for he may be the means of solving Maxic's dilemma. Mickey has met a few light heavies w‘th varied success and is not at all averse to tying up with Rosenbloom. Both Mickey and Jack Kearns, his pilot, think they can take Maxie and. by doing so. gratify Walker's long-standing ambition to be a ruler in three fighting classes. (Walker formerly held the welterweight title.) Furthermore, Walker and Kearns could stand a little dough, also, for they haven't picked up any important money since the Walker-Hudkins scramble out west a year ago. Ax In all well-laid plans, there is a hitch and In thtp one the catch is that Walker ts barred by the New York Boxine Commisaion from lichtinc In that state. The boat would have to be stated close to Stw York —Atlantic City, possibly—so that the faithful could be there in ouantity. mam Another reason, too. is that Maxi' wouldn’t care to be caught outside of rommutinK distance from his favorite nlßht rlub. especially after a winning ficht and his pockets full of the stuff that buys ice and cinterale. mam ROSENBLOOM is the closest approach to the late Harry Greb in the game today. He has the same fighting style that brought glory to the gallant Pittsburgher. No opponent can figure where Maxie's punches are coming from. He whangs away from every position. and what is lacking in punch he makes up in quantity. Greb never was too conscientious in trainlnx. Neither ia Maxie. Give him a shave and massage and he is ready to meet them all. Such a gov i* worthy of a lot of this fight game's monev. He’ll need It In his old age.

RED FABER, KAMM LEFT BEHIND BY WHITE SOX

Bush Seeks Trades for Two Stars Pitcher, Infielder Fail to Show Fight Demanded by Donie. By T'nit'il Prrn CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Urban (Red) Faber, veteran pitcher and Willie Kamm, erstwhile “SIOO,OOO beauty,” have lost their places on the Chicago White Sox squad because of ; failure to show the “fight” and “hustler demanded by Manager Ownie Bush. Although the Sox management, through Secretary Harry Grabiner, denied that the two players had disagreed with Manager Bush, it was generally believed that the veterans had clashed with Bush regarding managerial methods and playing conditions were slated tor transfer. Kamm's trouble with the Sox is said to have had its inception in Bush's order removing him from the captaincy. Kamm showed little Interest in his work after his demotion and was removed from the regular lineup on June 9 for failure to “hustle” Since that time he has been used only as a pinch hitter. Faber has had a difficult time winning games this season and walked off the mound in Wednesday's game with St. Louis after his mates made two errors, declaring that he “wouldn't pitch with support like that.” . . The tw’o players were left behind when the Sox went to Detroit Thursday night, and whlie Bush has refused to comment on their absence, it is* believed he is endeavoring to use them in a trade to Strengthen the club.
