Reject Langlois Challenge For Title Bout With Olson NEW YORK, N. Y., May 28 U.P..— The New York State Athletic Commission today rejected and returned the ,500 challengers check whiclVPierre Langlois of Prance deposited with it for a middleweight title fight with champion Bobo Olson. The commission deemed his challenge premature in view of the fact that Olson has signed to defend his title against Rocky Castellani in San Francisco in August. Langlois put in his check and challenge because of the victory he scored over Joey Giardello last Friday night. Giardello had been rated the No. 1 middleweight challenger.
