BRINGING UP FATHER
By GEORGE McMANUS
MANY CHANGES IN BOXING
TITLES TOOK 'PLACE LAST
YEAR IN SQUARED CIRCLE
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—“Uneasy lies
the head that wears a crown”-ia the
domains 'of pugilism—proof of which
is the unusual number of sensation
al upsets featuring the ring record
for 1922. Review of the year shows
that three world's and two Ameri
can titles changed hands. With the
exception of the heavyweight ranks,
where Jack Dempsey remained su
preme but inactive, all the crowns
were in jeopardy at some time.
Four of the lilies changed hands
in New York while the fifth, the
world’3 light heavyweight champion
ship, passed into the possession o.
the iSenegalese, Rattling Siki, when
he knocked on; Georges UarpeuUei
in Paris last September. Siki also
acquired the 'European heavyweight
title by his victory. Since then,
however, he has lost whatever pres
tige lie gained by drawing a long
term suspension from French boxing
authorities for improper conduct and
adding fuel to the flames of con
troversy with unsubstantiated charges
that his bout with Carpentier was in
tended as a frame-up for Georges to
win but that he double-cross -d the
ex-poilu by a “change of heart" dur
ing the bout.
Double Disaster
Johnny Ruff, veteran Jersey Oi;y
boxer, met double disaster during
the year, losing the world's bantam
weight 'title to Joe Lynch, of New
York, a former champion of the
division, in July and the American
flyweight crown to Panclio Villa, the
Filipino sensation, in September.
Buff, minus much of his former
prowess through a long Illness, was
knocked out by Lynch in the 14th
and by Villa in the 11th round. He
has not appeared in the ring since
then.
Another veteran went down to de
feat before stamina and youth when
Jack Britton, king of the welter
ranks for years and one of the craft
iest ring generals of all time, lost
a decision and his world title to
Mickey Walker, of Eliabeth, N. J„ in
November. But a few months before
Britton had put up one of the best
fights of hi3 career against Benny
Leonard, lightweight titleholder, win
'11111111111111111111111111111(1II11111111111II III! II
ning on a technical foul in the 13th
round.
Light Heavyweight
The American light heavyweight
title changed possession twice. Gene
Tunney, Greenwich Village favorite,
took the honors from Battling Le
vinsky in January by the decision
route but lost the crown in May to*
Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh, who I
gained a decision after a hard-fought
15-round bout.
The situation in the featherweight;
and middleweight divisions was com
plicated by decisions of the New
York Stale Athletic Commission,,
which took away 'ihe license of th“
respective 'titleholders, Johnny Kil
bane. of Cleveland, and Johnny Wii
son, of Boston, and declared their
laurels open to competition so far'
as the Empire State was concerned.
Kilbane was outlawed for refusal to'
accept a challenge from Johnny Dun
dee, of New York, and Wilson, for',
ignoring an agreement to box Harry
Greb. Pittsburgh mauler.
Frush Kayoed
Dundee and Danny Crush, English
boxer who took up an American
residence in Cleveland, were picked
by the New York Commission, .1 -1
logical contenders for the feather-1
weight title and the former acquired
what honors the commission wt
capable of bestowing by knocking oil
Crush in the ninth round of a con-1
test in August.
Likewise, Dave Rosenborg, of j
Brooklyn, was declared middleweigh’
champion by the commission after
victory over Phil Krug, of Harrison.
N. J„ in August, but the honors w< 1
transferred to the veteran, Mike
O'Dowd, of St. Paul, former title
holder, when ho won from Rosen !
berg on a foul in tho eighth round
of a contest r.tagcd Thanksgiving
Day.
The Middle West also ceased to re
gard Wilson as middleweight kina :
and the recognition was conferred by
boxing authorities in several states;
on Bryan Downey, of Cleveland.

CITY FIVE WINS 1

feated 43 to 13.
Tlit- City Five got away to a fly
ing start las! night when they opened (
the local basketball season by do-1
feating the Post Outlaw team framj
Chllkoot Barracks by a scare of 43 j
to 13. The local hoopers put the,
game on ice in the first half before j
the Soldiers could find their way
about tli- big hall, piling up 231
points rn 14 field goals by Wllt-j
men, Sperling, Sabin and Huglu
and one from a free throw, while
close checking by Joe George and
Parmakoff held the Outlaws ta three
from scrimmage and three more
points were added on free throw :
The score is not real'y indicative
of the respective strength of the,
two squads. The Soldiers, hand!-'
capped by training in a small hall,
were mixed up during tli - first half
and ilid not find themselves until
near the end of the game. In the
second half they put up a much
better brand of play, especially on
the defense, holding the, local team
to six baskets from the field and
two on free throws. The City Five
also stiffened their defense in the
lasft half, allowing but two goals
from scrimmage and making no pres
ents at all.

last night, it bids fair to be con

Sperling and Sabin at the forward

The Outlaws, ecnius.-J

n the first half that proved dis
istrous for them. Time after time
hey lost possesssion of the ball
hrough intercepted long throws. In
lie final period, they started the
ihort passing game with better ro
iults. The Outlaw guards were fre
i.iently drawn out of position and
lid not check a3 closely as neces
sary, particularly in the opening
lalf. In the second half their play
•vas improved.
They put up a good, clean, sports
nanlike game and fought hard until
he final whistle blew. They were
tandicapped by the absence of their
•enter, which necessitated replacing
iiin with Clark, from a forward po
■ lion which further weakened the
earn. With “Andy” back at center
ind Clark at forward, the team
could have given the local squad a

For the Outlaws, Rogers scored
