WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE

TWO RIVALS FOR SHARKEY. COMPLICATIONS AMONG BOXERS. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Rec. 5.5 p.m. London, Dec. 21. Camera, the Italian boxer, is going to New York on Tuesday. His first opponents have not been decided upon, but if he makes a good showing it is stated he will meet Sharkey for the world’s title at Miami in February or March. Scott, arrived at Southampton from New York. He announced that he was returning to America in the New Year, when he hoped to meet Sharkey for the title. Asked if he would be prepared to meet Camera, he said he would be pleased to do so, but not until he had had a chance at the world’s title. The complicated position which has arisen over the world's title suggests that a good many fights will have to be settled outside and inside the ring before the world knows who really is champion. JUNIOR TITLE CHANGES HANDS. GROGGY BOXER FLOORS RIVAL. New York, Dec. 21. Benny Bass, of Philadelphia, knocked out Tod Morgan, of Seattle, in the second round, winning the junior lightweight championship, which Morgan had held for five years. Bass was groggy at the end of the first round, but floored Morgan twice in the second.
