For the great masses of folk clamouring for news of my peculiar alternate reality, you can stop with the deluge of telegrams already. It's costing me a small fortune in nickels to the Anglo-Canadian Telegram delivery boys.

Here are the latest (December) rankings from #11 through 20. These are from a trusted source within the rankings committee of Mitt Slingers magazine.

Code:

11. Luigi Musina               Italy      33-3-1 (23)
12. Jack Petersen              Wales      31-4-2 (7)
13. KO Christner               USA        29-6-0 (23)
14. Bud MacEachern             Canada     25-2-0 (15)
15. Tiger Jack Fox             USA        25-5-2 (12)
16. Turkey Thompson            USA        30-4-2 (23)
17. Lars Gunnardsson           Denmark    17-3-2 (12)
18. Buddy Baer                 USA        22-3-2 (12)
19. Jimmy Bivins               USA        24-4-0 (8)
20. Melio Bettina              USA        30-6-3 (8)

As you see they reflect recent action in the division, particularly Thompson's unexpected loss to Big Boy Bray.

Here are some of the bottom-feeders in my AU: Johnny Kapovich (2-23-0); Ray Neuman (0-20-1); Sam Stearns (1-24-1); Nick Basich (3-24-2); Joe Lubin (2-24-1); Dynamite Jackson (4-20-2); Newsboy Millich (5-18-4).

Perusing the rankings I came across a few surprises. Harry Bobo who is 20-5-1 is ranked #148. Al Ettore (24-9-3) is #123. Billy Conn (25-3-0) is #120.

Here are a few guys that haven't been heard from in a while. (Note from Cap: I lost track of these guys somehow and haven't matched them since about April of this year.)
James J. Braddock (18-5-0) # 151. Lost to Joe Louis in a bloody fight. Isidoro Gastanaga (19-5-0 with 15 KOs); Joe Kahut (16-3-0); and Roscoe Toles (23-2-4 with 11 KOs) who, at one stretch, went 18 without a loss.
