3,000 Fans See Big Boxing Show Staged at the Verdun Auditorium al years ago, had it all over his Champions in Services to Hold Rights for Duration, Greene Says COUNSELS CIVILIANS Urges Titleholders Not in Forces to Fight as Often as Possible for Survival of Boxing Paterson October 16. VP) Freezing of titles for champions in the armed services today was pronounced National Boxing Association policy for the duration. "A man in the service is entitled to complete protection of his cham pionship under all circumstances until he is able to defend; this is the N.B.A. policy announced early in the conflict," Abe J. Greene, N.B.A.

head, said in commenting on a proposal by Jerry Giesler, chairman of the California Boxing Commission that such action be taken. In classes where champion are not in the service, Greene declared. boxing owes it to the public to keep active. "Frozen titles mean frozen interest," Greene remarked. "If boxing is to continue during the war as a means of providing entertainment on the home front, then everything possible must be done to maintain it on a lively and active plane.

The civilian champion ought "to carry the ball for his comrade-champions in uniform." Green continued. "Because, if he is a fight ing champion he can keep interest in the sport alive for the day when the other fellow comes home and can fight" OUTLINES SITUATION Greene took up the situation in the heavyweight division, where champion Joe Louis and leading contenders Billy Conn and Melio Bettina are soldiers. The newspaper editor N.B.A. head commented: "All any boxing authorities could hope to do to maintain even a tepid Interest in the class would be to set up the outstanding contenders and keep them fighting among themselves with the hope of ex tracting from the pot pourri the best of the lot. "By that time the government authorities will have either relaxed their policy of restricting service men boxing or will nave tightened it so that no one in the service will be fighting except for Uncle Sam.

"Under such circumstances the best that civilian contenders could hope to attain would be some designation like sub-champion or but at all times it would be understood that the serviceman chamnion would be unquestioned titleholder with full claim to every right that goes with a title, recognition, major share of purses, etc PROBLEM UNDER STUDY. How boxing can be kept active and yet not impair the rights of servicemen champions was deemed by Greene "the problem which now confronts the National Boxing Association and which is up for con-i sideration by our executive committee. Let's look at the list: "Joe Louis, heavyweight cham pion, is in the army; Gus Lesnevich. light heavyweight, is in the coast guard; Tony -Zale, middleweight, is also conditioning here for the 1942-43 season. Today's workout was largely rou tine for both clubs.

Coach Hap Day of ideals and sun uook ol providence announced tomorrow's work out will be shortened to allow the players to spend the week-ends at their homes. But both said the teams will "get right down to cases' Monday. S0M M0W LONDON DRY 23 Calgary, October 16. Pte. AI Lust, contender -for the Canadian welterweight championship, slugged out a 12-round decision over Eddie Marcus, Los Angeles, fighter here tonight.

Co-Chairman Eddie Quinn of the Victory Loan boxing show to be held at the Forum November 5 said that plans are now completed for Lust's appearance here to meet Dave Castillo ux, recognized Dominion welterweight champion.

GRIFFIN, STUKAS ARE AGAIN RIVALS To Clash Today When Toronto Oakwood Indians Tangle With Balmy Beach Toronto, October 16. O.

Murray Griffin and Arm is Stukus, veteran stalwarts of Eastern Canadian football for many years, meet again in rival uniforms tomorrow. For five years Griffin played with Ottawa Rough Riders and the big Stuke did his galloping and passing for Toronto Argos in interprovincial union circles. Tomorrow Stukus pilots Toronto Oakwood Indians against Toronto Balmy Beach In a senior Ontario Rugby Football Union game and on the other side of the line of scrimmage will be Griffin- making his 1942 Jootbail debut Folding up of the only other senior football loop in the east the Eastern Rugby Football Union, successor to the Big Four Interprovincial Union left a lot of players on the loose. Stukus drifted to Beaches but later changed allegiance to the Indians when he was appointed a playing coach. Then Beaches announced acquisition of Griffin and the stage was set for another meeting between two of the nations best football players.

The game means much to both teams which are fighting with Hamilton and Navy for one cf the two O.R.F.U. playoff shots first place already having been conceded Xo Flying Officer Lew Hayman's powerful' R.C.A.F. Hurricanes. Beaches at present hold a one-game edge on their local rivals, having won two and lost two against one victory and three losses for Indians. The Indians-Beaches game is first on the regular Saturday double bill at Varsity Stadium with the airmen meeting the last-place Kitchener Panthers in the other encounter.

Navy's entry, H.M.C.S. York, goes to Hamilton for a game with the second-play Wildcats. Already none too strong in reserve strength. Navy will be forced to take the field against the Hamilton team minus a star first string lineman, first class stoker Les Ascott. The sailers are tied with Beaches for third place.

in the navy; Freddie Cochrane, welterweight, is also in the navy. And In a number of instances the leading contenders are also in some branch of the service." Discussing classes in which the champion is not in the service. Greene said: "Sammy Angott, lightweight champion, is a married man with children. His six months title recess has expired and we are calling upon him for a proper defence of the crown. "The same thing goes for Jackie Wilson, the featherweight champion, on whom we have served notice he must fulfill his title contract in Providence.

"Manuel Ortiz, our bantamweight champion, was but recently crowned and has several months leeway, while Little Dado, flyweight title-holder, is in the Philippines and a long way from the scene of boxing action in this country." 2.55 40 3.90 1 C.A.H.A.

To the disappointment of the crowd, Harry Hurst, who was to figure in the feature match could not fight because of a hand injury which he received while training for the bout.

First stanza of the five round feature bout was a draw with both fighters slugging each other with hard lefts and rights. Opening the second round with fast, hard jabs.

Ouimet handed Disilvo a severe pasting for a little while, sending six hard lefts in succession to Di-silvo's mouth. Albert, however, came back in the same round to make the blond flyer eat a good deal or his leather and floored him for a one count. Continuous punches to both sides of the head made Ouimet, a Montreal battler, a little groggy in the first part of the third stanza. He withstood the attack however, and took both the fourth and fifth rounds with his aggressive style. xne pout ended with JDisilvo win ning on a decision, but he had a severe cut under the left eye to re mind him mat the win had been no cinch.

Last year's regulators with New York Rangers' National Hockey League team were sent through the first scrimmage of the season at their training camp here today. Manager Lester Patrick and Coach Frankie Boucher watched the players from the sidelines.

A Ranger spokesman said that while it was impossible to get any accurate line on a player at this early stage, several of last year's veterans were flying from the start. When the two officials checked over their string at the opening of the camp yesterday, they found only eight members of last year's league championship team on hand. The spokesman said that in former years there have been only one or two positions to fill but this year practically every position on the club is open. Manager Patrick probably will have to switch regulars to different positions from those they occupied last year in order to round out a well-balanced club. Coach Boucher today divided the squad into two teams and sent them against each other.

Among those whisking along the ice lanes was Gordon, Davidson, a defenceman with Regina Rangers when they won the Allan Cup and star last season with New York Rovers of the Eastern United States Amateur Hockey League. ine spokesman said Davidson handled himself well on defence and seems destined for a spot with the blueshirts this season. He has been rejected for military service. iNO set zorward lines were chosen but Patrick and Boucher expect to select their lines within the next few days so the players can get in some good practice before the season gets under way October 31. Rangers are scheduled to clash witfc Toronto Maple Leafs, last year's champions, at Toronto In a season opener.
