New Heavyweight Champion in George Calza, Who Beat Gardini New York, May 6. (Special.) Italians of Newark and thdse of New York interested in wrestling have a new heavyweight champion of Italy to honor, in George Callza. Callza, a magnificently conditioned athlete weighing 208 pounds, kept pounding at Renato Gardini, who claimed the Italian championship for two hours and 48 minutes at the Newark armory some nights since. He Won a fall by disqualification when Gardini fouled by punching and then was declared the winner when Gardini refused to wrestle any more. Gardini was apparently worn out by the unrelenting aggressiveness, youth and strength of Calza. Though the latter did not have any advan tage that might have led him to a fall Suspension of Gotham Ring v Officials May Help Game New York, May 6. (Special.) The action of the New York state boxing commission in revoking the licenses of a judge and a referee has aroused hope in the hearts of the boxing public that there will be a continued investigation of the activ ities of ring officials. It is felt that the commission will jelear up one of the. most unsatisfactory features of the game if it can eliminate the con stant rumors of a too strong alliance between the officials ond the betting clement at the ringside. Without condemning the two men on whom the commission put the stamp of its disapproval, boxing fans are unanimous in believing that the commissioners are to be highjy com mended for .their venture into this side of the game. , It.is the first time since the present commission assum ed office that it has ousted any offi cials, although there have been many reports of sharp practices.. when he swept to victory, in the big gest stake events, but he is still a valuable platter runner.

Ten minutes were allowed between falls, but Gardini failed to show up for the second engagement and Calza was declared the winner. Italian wrestling fans exchanged thousands of dollars in bets. Though Calza gained the verdict it -was plain to see he has much to learn before lie is a topnotcher. He is not perfect on leverage and fails in the knack of following through with his holds. The two men who have lost their licenses are Jack Clifford, a referee of Brooklyn, and Johnny Hines, a judge of this city. Since April 15, when , Danny Lee was ' granted the decision over Young Montreal at the Commonwealth Sporting club by Clifford and Hines, the two officials have beeen under close scrutiny by the commission. The commissioner who attended that bout, as well as the majority of th'e fight fans, felt that Montreal had earned an- easy decision. .

' - Pennant Raising on 0cning Day a Jinx to Club: rChite Sox Iloittrd Flag on First Day of Season in 1907 and Had i Long Run of Hard Luil. By I. SANBORN. Dame Fortune apparently has queer notions, one of them being that a major leacue iwnnanl should not be thrialriird on the opening day of a season, aitnougn that occasion ap peals to nearly everyone cite as eminently fitting and proper (or re minding the rooter of tht joyful days of the previous year. Once upon a time, when the na tion's pastime was less than i of I per cent commercial, it was the in variable cuaiom to hoist a champion ship flag on the opening day of the neat campaign. That was before somebody rralied that opening days meant a big crowd anyway, and it would mean a few more dollars to withhold the pennant christening until 'niidscaaon or later so as to whet anew the ap?titet of the fans after interest had commenced to fair. Imbued with the dcaire to infuse more of the old-time sportsmanship into baseball the two colonels, Rui pert and Huston, who own the New York .Yankees, revived the ,cutom of christening the emblem of vic tory on opening day . at the PoIj grounds. But Dame Fortune damned a clammy jinx on the joy session oy sending a gale which blew the pennant off the pole and out of the lot almost before the rooters had ceaed veiling: about it. The last previous effort to hoist a pennant on opening day was made by President Comiskey of the White box and it was even less of a suc cess. That was in the spring of IVU7, following the triumph of the Sox over the Cubs in the first world's series ever staged entirely in one city. It wasn't the wind that jinxed the proceedings that day, but the hoisting halyard which ran off the top pulley. Fielder Jones and his crew kept right on pulling at the rope and snapped the pennant pole off in the middle before the flag naa been Hoisted halfway. Superstitious pessimists predicted at the time "seven years of hard hick" for Comiskcy and the White Sox. It was II years before they won another pennant. Everybody hopes the Polo grounds accident this year will not breed a similar jinx for the Yankee Colonels, simply because they tried to show themselves mood sportsmen by not delaying the pen nant rais:ng until a later date. Hut there was another coincidence be tween the two flag mishaos. Both happened in the springs following world's series between two teams representing the same city. Magnates who have refused to give their patrons a chance to "point with pride" to league pennants until mid-season sometimes not until after all the pride had been knocked out of them by second division teams will now point warning: fingers at anyone who suggests risking a iinx by departing from the more com mercial custom of recent years. The Yankees appear to have their hands full without any frowns from Lady Luck. The v bacteria which usually infects teams of champions seems to have found fertile ground in the temperamental athletes who owe allegiance to Miller Huggins. Symptoms of enlarged cranium cropped out in midwinter and a dis position to take things easy was np ted in spring training But Hug- gins apparently whipped his high salaried stars into shape before the real battles began. In reducing the size of the Yankee's' headgear the diminutive manager undoubtedly was helped by the fact his team was the first American league outfit to lose a world s series on the level m seven years.

By WALTER ECKERSALL. With the outdoor track and field season oAicblly opened by the stag ing of the Drake and IV nit relay timet yesterday, athletes will now be pointed to the many interschoias tics, and dual meets on the spring schedule. The eastern intercollegiate wilt be held on the last Saturday in May, while the western conference will be decided on the first Saturday in June. During next month nrarty every university and college of ath letic importance will conduct an in terscholaatic far the benefit of the prep school athletes in 'the different section. At the neat 01mpic games are only two years away, there must be some new timber developed if the United States it to maintain its track and held supremacy. Some mem bert of the American team who lielcd to win the world's title at Antwerp, Belgium, in 19.0. have set aside the spiked shoes. They were consistent point winners and the type who could perform under any conditions. Athletes Mutt Be Developed. Athletes must be developed to take their placet, and the prep schools are the places to find them. Each year it productive of its quo ta of promising material and upon the development of these boys will greatly determine America's chances in the next Ulynipiad at Tans in 1924. A two-sport rule will be adopted in the western conference at the faculty meeting in June at Iowa City.' Need of this rule has been emphasized several timet when men have overtaxed their limits of endur ance, and instead of athletics being helpful they have ' proven a detri ment. Men in college are more ma tured and stronger than those in the high and preparatory schools. If it is necessary to apply a two- sport rule to college athletes it is doubly essential in the prep schools. Promising athletes have been "burned out" in prep school because they have been permitted to tae (art in too many sports or competed m too many events on the same day in a track meet. Encourage Prep Stars. If reliable point winnersvare to lc developed for the American Olympic team of 1924, something should be done with the prep stars who show promise in next month's meets. Such athletes should be made to specialize in whichever events they show most promise. A sprinter should be kept out of field events and a distance runner, permitted to run only one race in one day. This rule does not apply so much to the weight men. A shot putter may take but one trial if he elects. The same is true of the hammer and discus. A track man must report for his preliminary and semi-final heats, and 'he cannot do himself justice if he competes in field events. The suc cessful' college athlete is generally the one who specializes in one event in prep school and then permits the university or college coach to teach him the finer points of his chosen line of athletic endeavor. . Some athletes are made in college. They have possessed natural ability to do things, but never received the proper encouragement in prep school. There are types of this kind of ath lete in college at the present time, but it is doubtful if they will be avail able for the American Olympic team. Team Must Have Balance. Those who have been behind move ments which resulted in former American teams are well aware of Olympic , games are well aware of the dearth of promising material. There arc, of course, some men who will be available, but to win' honors in an Olympic meet a team must have balance and be composed of enough men so that at least three can enter each contest. University and college athletes who win their snecialties in the va rious intercollegiatcs will undoubted-, ly join athletic clubs following grad uation in order to get more competi tion for the final tryouts (or the American Olympic team. It is a trip worth while, and the average college athlete who is good enough to win his event in the intercollegiates will not overlook an opportunity to try -for the Olympic team. From now on it will be interesting to note and compare the per formances of various athletes who will be candidates for the American team. , ' Gamblers Are Reported Active in Grandstands at Polo Grounds New York, May 6. (Special.) Several complaints lrave- been . re ceived from baseball . fans who charge that gamblers have been ply ing their trade in the grand stand at the Polo grounds despite the vigil ance of private detectives employed by the Giants and Yankees to carry out the orders of Commissioner Landis to suppress this evil. The gamblers generally occupy seats in the grand stand behind third base. It is- their old stamping ground. On Saturday and Sunday bets are made boldly and the money changes hands after each game. Barred at Gates. Since the opening of the season at the Polo grounds numerous unde sirables have been barred at the gates and others have been ejected, but the suppression of the small fry who make a business of betting on the games appears to be extremely difficult and requires the activity of a large force of sleuths.

By RAY PEARSON. Take a lant at Ihe fistic newt St it develop, from day to day, then pen up the old record book and one may concent some mighty inlcrrl ing dope. Ptrhapa it miitht appear a doubtful conception, but jut the ante the near future may prove It fact. In order to ihuw how thine might work out the writer hat peeped into the record book to tre whui m muI about Benny Leonard, world's light weight champion. Among manv tenaational performances, which in cluded the knockout of Freddie Welch, a feat which enabled- Hciiuy to step in championship shoes, we fi nd that our preacnt champion h'm rlf knows how it feels to be knotkt l self out. Leonard Knocked Out. Back in the Year 1912. which var Leonard's first vear as a f'ltlilii'g man, he stepped into a match with a young man by the name of Joe Shugrue, who hails from Jersey. Shugrue at that time was a inightv nifty glovt weilder. and besides be ing a clever chap knew how to sock a merry wallop. He socked our pres ent lightweight champion one of this type of punches in the fourth round, and Benny dropped to trc canvas completely knocked out. He re mained there for several second, ton, after the 10 reconda spelling defeat had been tolled off. That was the first t.w Leonard ever had tasted the knockout drops that are carried in a glove fis,t, but another young man later on also found Benny's jaw with a knockout force, this being Frankic Fleming, a Canadian. When Leonard got through being knocked out by Flem ing he severed fistic relations with that young Canuck and finished the business of being handed the fiatic anesthetic. First K. O. of Benny. We have heard from many scrap pers that they never forger their first: knockout. and it is true of Leonard s well as of others. Naturally Benny hasn't forgotten v. hat Mr. Shugrue slipped him, and he prob ably never will permit it to fade from his memory, no matter how painful th" recolloction. This is the information that we get .. out of the record book. Now we i close it and write about things that , ' concern the present. Only the other night we saw an account of a bout staged fn an eastern ring between Johnny Dundee, the junior h'ght- weight champion, and a boy namedC? John Shugrue. This bout was fought at Worcester, Mass., and to the sur prise of those present Shugrue not only won the decision handily, but gave the Scotch Wop an artistic lacing. Johnny Shugrue Joe't Brother. Now this Tohnnv Shugrue is none othe than a young brother of the Joe Shugrue who knocked out Ben ny Leonard 10 years ago. It is raid that Johnny is a better fighting man , than his brother Toe, and we arc in clined to accept this, for we know that anyone who can paste Dundee around the ring and win off by Hm-. self must be some shucks in this fighting game. One may wonder what interesting . connection might result from this knockout of Leoard by Joe Shugrue and the, entry into big time of young jf Shugrue. but that is easily explained by the fact that just now Champion Benny Leonard is - grooming n younger brother named Joie for fis tic honors. Joie also is a lightweight, and according to information from New York he i developing into a scrapper of real class. . ! Joie Leonard a Fighter. Benny even goes so far as to say that Joie is a better fighter than he (Benny) ever thought of being. Of course, that statement must be ac cepted as an exaggeration, but just the same Benny's brother must be considered a . pretty good glove wielder. ... Now, what could be more natural than for, Benny end his manager. Billy Gibson, who also is going tof handle Joiej to go out and match"' ' Joie with Johnny Shugrue? That would be one way for the lightweight champion to square accounts with the Shugrue, family if Joie could soak a knockout jolt to Johnny's jaw. That match is very likely to become a reality before long, now that Johnny Shugrue already hag made good and Joie Leonard is mak ing good. So w find the past and present , have a rather intimate relation in th?.s -glove game. . ' . parks, . the nation-wide practice of selling baseball pools still is thriv ing, it is said. " .
