-Because of complications resulting t'rotn its rules, the New York state athletic commission is withholding- for the present, at least, title recognition for Fidel La Barba, year-old school boy, who won the American flyweight championship from Frankic Cenaro last Saturday at Los Angeles. Although an exception may be made in La Barba's favor, it was pointed out at 1he commission's meeting today that the coast youth is not eligible to be champion under the New York boxing rules, which provide that a title must change hands in a 15-round bout but also that a tighter under 21 cannot go more than six rounds. La Barba won the title in a 10-round go. STARS OF AMATEUR GOLF ARRIVING FOR OAKMONT TOURNEY Carter, Western Champion, Among Early Arrivals; Dave err on Due Today; Canadian and Coast Star Beaten in Tryout; Crookston and Held Show Improvement. Among the arrivals yesterday at Oakmont was Keefe Carter, the brilliant young golfer from Oklahoma City, the holder of the Western amateur championship, of whom great things are expected in the coming National Amateur Championship tournament.

He has been in the city since Sunday, coming here from Youngstown where he played in the "Western Open Championship Tournament last week. 1 1 Texans Spring Surprise of Day in National Play at Brookline in Five Sets; Meet Kin-seys Today; Two Foreign Threats, Patterson and Hawkes, Remain. CHAPIN, OS HELL ELIMINATED; RICHARDS, WILLIAMS ADVANCE BROOKLINE, Aur. 25. (A.

Lewis White and Lewis Thalheimer, youthful Texan tennis stars, sixth in the 1924 National doubles ranking, staged the biggest upset of the day during the second round matches of the National doubles championship tournament on the turf courts of the Longwood Cricket Club todav lust often a golf caddy becomes famous. One of thirst- times Is during a tournej. Instead of being sworn at, blamed for topped shots and lost balls, the bag toter is sometimes the means through which tn championship is won. Their judgment on clubs sometimes paves the way for the shot which brings home the title. For that reason, caddies, good, bad, indifferent but caddies just the same are beginning to crash the gate at Oakmont.

What care they for the deportment of a fashionable club; their player is entered in the amateur championship and they are going to carry his bag and pick him his shots. They are in early to look the ground over to make sure that their particular hero gets none the worst of it. Yesterday, driven from outlying benches where they had been sleeping for the lat day or so. someone of thein became ieeved; but they will stick it out until Monday when the championship play opens. Some of them come from afar; ami they are not going back without an argument.

If the ratio of caddies and players continues there will be three times as many toters as players. Already Woodie I'latt has three who claim allegiance to him; Max Marston lias a like number; Bobby Jones will probably qualify for about eight while Oa trick and Uoss, the Canadians, are hoping that no more than the four already on the ground will follow them around. It is the caddies world series; and they will make One Kyed Connelly and Tarn Young look bad the way they put their stuff over. The tourney is to determine the best amateur golfer in the country but if the caddies keep crowding, Bobby Jones and the rest of them will be just incidental in the affair. Kvery day brings more of them from farther away; by Monday they should be in the majority and make themselves so prominent that the ultimate champion will le forced to admit that they were part of his game.

ing commission threats of banishment and "sit tight" on the agreement for a Wills-Dempsey battle 'under the promotion of Floyd Fitzsimmons of Indiana. In a telephone conversation with Paddy Mullins. manager for Wills, at New York, Dempsey was informed that the New York commission threatened to ban Wills unless he puts up a forfeit to match the forfeit posted by Jack Kearns, Dempsey's former manager, for a match to be promoted by Tex Rickard. The champion assured Mullins that banishment by the New York commission would not do him harm; that the important thing to remember was that "you have my word of honor that I will fight Wills next year." Tater Dempsey dispatched a telegram confirming the telephone conversation and promising Mullins that he "would insist that the Fitzsimmons people arrange a meeting quickly to post money" guaranteeing the proposed Wills-Dempsey match somewhere in the Middle West next July 4. MI LLINS ItAI.KS AGAIN.

The commission made no further progress in its efforts to arrange the Wills-Dempsey heavyweight title match next year. Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, informed the solons he was not prepared to post a $25,000 forfeit until his fighter returns from Kurope to discuss the situation. Promoter Tex Rickard and Jack Kearns, still insisting upon enacting a role as manager of Derupsey, despite the champion's repudiation, already have posted $25,000 forfeits each as guarantees of their good faith in seeking the big match. The Queensbury Club of Ruftalo was granted permission to advance its fight show from September 7 to September 4 to permit Jimmy Slattery to box on the card there as well as in a bout at the Yankee Stadium here September 11.

the West Penn amateur champion is getting back on his game again and he turned in a 79 yesterday, despite the fact that lre wasted three strokes on the long-twelfth hole which cost him an 8. He finished up strong having 3s on the last three holes. Th young local champion was hitting his shots yes-, terday and it was his best round for some weeks. Zimmer Piatt, the state amateur champion, and his brother Woody Piatt were expected to arrive today. The Oakmont course is beginning to dry up a little and some rain would prove beneficial.

The players are getting long rolls on their balls and this is shortening up the holes somewhat, and as a result scoring is becoming somewhat easierl Davidson Herron, the former National amateur champion, who scored his triumph here in 1919, is expected tc arrive here today. He is playing good golf and has been doing a lot of practicing, in anticipation of the coming championship, during the past few weeks. Lack of practice is all that has kepe Horron from maintaining the high rank that he formerly enjoyed in golfdom. Herron is bent upon staging a comeback here and he believes that he will be able to achieve his objective here among the scenes of his boyhood days. MIGHTS OF MALTA LEAGUE STAXniNG OF THE CLUBS.

"How many hunkers do you really have here?" he queried of Kmil Loeffler, Oakmont gTeenskeeper. "Well, I have not counted them lately hut there must be at least 200 of them." Loeffler replied. "You must have drained the river of all the sand to fill up tho.se blinkers," Carter replied. The youthful champion did not venture on the links, but contented himself in making- a mental survey. SPIKES EVANS RUMOR.

"How is Chick Evans playing?" one asked Carter. "He is playing- beautiful gwlf he is playing- better than he has for several years," Carter replied. "He played as fine golf as anyone in the party." "How is his physical condition." "Well, I did not observe anything wrong with his health he appeared to be in fine spirits and he was playing in fine form." This sets at rest the statement that Evans is not in the best of health and that he would not be able to play up to his usual form during the coming championship. If he is on his game he will be a big factor in the big tourney and should win one of the places in the qualifying round. Carter will not play until today.

Upon his arrival at the course he found his caddy who had come all the way from Oklahoma City, to be with him during the championship. The boy also caddied for him at Youngs-town last week. HELD IMPROVES. Harold Weber, the prominrnt amateur from Inverness. Toledo, reached the course yesterday afternoon.

He lost no time in going out and playing. He was greeted by Scotty Burke, the Allegheny Country Club youth, who has been paired with him in the qualifying round. They played over the course together. Other arrivals at the links were Stephen E. Foster, of the Florida Country Club Jacksonville, Fla.

and Robert Kampman, of San Antonio, Tex.

QUAKER LAD TOSSES TOWEL IN THIRD AT CONEY ISLAND (Continued from, Pnge Eleven.) to prove that he is a candidate for the junior welter title, and subsequently a shot at Mickey Walker, went to work on Joe in the firt round with a mean left hand, alter-.

nating it with a choppy right cross. Tiplitz absorbed these drives without injuring his digestion and managed to slow Jack up toward the close of the round with a couple of hard left smashes to the body. Zivic mad Tiplitz miserable in the second when he backed him to the ropes and socked him with everything but the dogs that the venders were purveying among the customers. Joe simply covered up and let Jack slam away until arm weary. Tiplitz appeared to revel in the heavy going.

When he emerged from his hard shell defense it. was with a smile on his lips and a readiness to mix it. TOSSES IX TO WEI- Joe continued to play the part of a good natured punching bag until half way through the third round, when he suddenly stepped out of a trance and rocked Jack with a couple of left hooks to the body and head. Zivic was bounced back on his heels and Joe was so pleased with all this that stood in the middle of th ring and stuck out his jaw for Jack to shoot at. Jack did just that thing and Joe suddenly found himself half through the ropes.

He clambered back to a fighting pose just in time to stop another left that laid him in the resin for the count of three. He staggered to his feet, but he was so far gone that Phil Glassman, his manager, bounced into the ring with a nice clean towel in his hands and called it a day's work for Joe. In the first of three 10 round bouts the customers were handed some thing of a bloomer. This scrap was supposed to bring together Harry GalfunJ and Harry Martone. Instead the management turned loose a couple of palukas.

One was Harry Caba, of Yorkville, and the other was Billy White, from Jersey City. The judges called it a draw. Postal Pasted, 10-5.
