H. S. A. A. council ln a resolution sent to the board.

Tha was adooted unanimously at the regular annual By GENERAL JOHN V. CLINNIN President National Boxing Association Chicago Boxing should be a lively industry in America during 1932. Several important matches are pending, including defense of the world's heavyweight championship by Max Schmeling. While the era of the million-dollar gates has passed, at least until the return of business prosperity, the sport has prospects of one of its greatest years, both from a competitive and box office standpoint. Tho year of 1932 looks favorable because champions in every division will be forced into action against the logical contenders.

As a result ther. will be more interesting bouts. Max Real Champion Max Schmeling has proved himself a real champion and a popular one. Nevertheless, he must defend his title, like every other champion, through the policy of the National Boxing association in demanding that champions fight. Boxing is in a highly favorable condition in public opinion.

There have been no scandals, no legislation against it. In fact, in the last year five additional states have legalized the sport. There is an increasing movement to stage longer bouts; tfcat is, to pass legislation to permit 15 round bouts instead of ten. Three states decided to. increase the number of rounds within the last year.

In Illinois we hope to do the same thing, so we can be on a more even competitive basis with New York in championship affairs. The law in New York provides for 15 round bouts. Intemational Committee The autstanding achievement of National Boxing association in 1931 was the formation of an international committee with full power to approve or disapprove all world's championships and international contests. Thi3 committee consists of one member from the from the Canadian Association nf i3oxmg commissions, one irum international Boxing Union, and one from the British Boxing Board of Control. As a result of closer co-operation with our neighbors in Canada and across the sea, International boxing rules are becoming standardized.

In the olden days they had tour naments to decide championships. That's the way it was in 1916 when William and Vashti, of Aledo, 111., took the crown at Bloomington, by whipping Millikin in rather easy fashion.

L. Averages Show Mark Helped Champions to Capture Flag Giants Second New York AP One of tha principal reasons for the St. Louis Cardinals' spectacular drive to th. top of the baseball world Is seen in the official fielding averages of the National league for 1931. released Saturday.

The champions, chief exponents of the revived brand of fast, "inside" baseball, made up for any deficiency at bat by leading the league in fielding with a fine average of .9739 for the season. Sparky Adams, third sacker, was the only individual leader among the world champions. GianU Olnke Second At that. St. Louis barely nosed out the New York Giants, likewise devotees of the so-called new game, who finished the year with a team mark of .9735.

It is significant that the two best fielding clubs wer. one-two in the final league standing. The Cincinnati Reds, though last in club standing, ran a strong third in collective fielding with .9726 apd tied their own major league reefed with 194 double plays. They at completed one of the season's two triple plays, the Phillies turning in the other. Chicago and Boston ran virtually a dead heat for fourth in fielding, with marks of .97257 and .97256, respectively.

Brooklyn finished at .969, Pittsburgh with .968 and Philadelphia with .966. Boston Daces Two Boston had the distinction of speive p'o ti" FreS ra the" regular sefond basemen with an average of .976 and Bob Worthington, serving his first full term in the majors, was the steadiest outfielder in the league with an average of .988. He muffed only three out of 253 chancer. Charlie Grimm. Chicago's veteran first baseman, was the only player to lead his department in fielding for the second straight year.

His average of .993 barely beat that of Boston's Earl Sheely, with .992. Back to Minora Sheely, along with Maguire, will be with minor league clubs next season. Their hitting didn't match their fielding, in Manager Mc-Kechnie's opinion. Although he finished the season in the bad graces of Manager Mc- iGraw, Frank Hogan enjoyed a year behlnd the bat for tha Giants.

Miami Commission Resents Efforts to Pass It the Buck Miami.

Fla. AP The Miami hnvjnp commission wants itself put in the clear with regard to prospects that Madison Square Garden will hold a championship fight here between Max Schmeling and Mickey Walker. Chairman Louis McReynolds said Saturday. McRevnolds said he believed "an 's being made to pass the I buck to me and the commission" as juggling of arrangements for the fight takes place in New York, "We have tried to show Jimmy Johnson, general manager for the Garden, and other Garden officials that Miami and the Miami boxing commission will co-operate to the greatest possible extent if the fight is held here." he said. Wired Okay "Johnson and W.

F. Carey, head of the Garden corporation, tele- graphed us some time ago to ask what chances were to have the chamnionship bout here, in view of the Florida state law prohibiting title fights. I wired immediately that a 15-round fight, which they want to hold, could be held here since there is no provision in the I Florida state law as to the number rounds." McReynolds said h. felt certain that no block would be placed in the Gardens path as far as prohi- of a championship fight here was concerned. "Miami wants the fight and wants it badly." he concluded.

Over 1,000 were grade school children who were guests of the merchants and the High school athletic association. Although Mattoon was beaten, 23-20 In a see-saw battle, many observers believed that the Schultz cagers played their best basketball of the season, and with a little more luck they would have spilled the South Central leaders.
