Pilot in Word Scrap
NEWARK, N J., Aug. 29-0
Abe J. Greene, National Boxing
association president, and Willie
Gilzenberg, manager of Freddy
"Red” Cochrane, world welterweight
champion, fought a battle of state-
ments yesterday on the issue of who
should decide when it is time for
a champion to defend his title, £
The controversy was touched off
by an NBA announcement yester-
day that all champions now out of
the services, whose titles were froz-
en when they went in, should begin
arranging for title defensea. ,
The seldom-shaved but always
talkative Gilzenberg retorted that
he—and not any boxing commis-
sioner—would decide when his boy
from Hillsdale, who got out of the
Navy in January and since has
been flattened twice by Rocky
Graziano of New York in over?
the-weight, non-title bouts, should
put his title on the line in a cham-
pionship bout.
"The Beard" added a suggestion
that Greene, president of the NBA
since 1941, "unfreeze" his own titled.
