The black haired New York Italian challenger was a betting favorite over Taylor today, and it seems probable that he will be a 6-5 favorite when he crawls into the ring in Cubs park. Both bantams finished their strenuous workouts yesterday, and were to confine their activities to light gymnasium work today’. Both came through their training grind in fine shape, anil should enter the ring in perfect physical condition. Canzoneri weighed 119 pounds yesterday and his manager Sammy Goldman, said he would make the 119 pound weight with ease. Tie seemed slightly drawn, but his backers said it was better for him to get down to weight than to sweat off his poundage the last day. Goldman said his boxer was is the best shape possible for the match. Taylor is already under 118 pounds according to Eddie Ixing, his pilot'. Taylor worked out with Pal Moore yesterday, and was not bothered by Moore, although he found it difficult to get to the jumpy Memphis voter an. Taylor also boxed Joe Medill. and battled furiously for three rounds. He was fast and was hitting hard, and looked ready to go. o ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+*++♦♦* ♦ SPORT TABS <• ♦+♦+♦♦++++++++++ Columbus, Ohio. —Tn a game featured by umpire baiting and the stalling of Columbus.

GOLF SIMPLIFIED I By Charlex (Chick) Evans, Jr. • o A ifew v> Sot; y /fl lz) /I | /1 Z hands AHEAD of club r cause slicing Z ? i ' I Z 'i t TOO OPEN / Slice »_— _ .... . . ■ Slicing My mail recently has contained a 1 number of letteis asking advice on correcting a slice. This letter is typical. Question: Dear Mr. Evans: How can I overcome a bad slice? it is worst off my woden clubs, but is is very bad even with my irons. Can you suggest a remedy? E. S. T. Answer: A sliced ball means that the hands are ahead of the clubhead when tlie ball is hit: this position causes the club face to be drawn across the ball thus producing a spin to tlie right. To get a straight ball the hands and clubhead should be on a perpendicular, so that when the ball is properly met the club face is at right angles to the direction line. Years ago I had this same fault. J corrected it by going out in my back yard every night and practicing swinging without hitting the ball, but kept two ideas clearly in mind. The ideas I were: (1) Keep your left elbow and upper left arm in close to your body on the follow through, and (2) finish witli youi light hand knuckles pointing towaids tlie sky. The effect is magical. A slice is much more prevalent than a hook, the chief reason being that players will not let their clubhead do its part of the woik. They persist in forcing the stroke, and therefore get thetslice spin angle on the club face Successful is the golfer who can wait for his clubhead. A slice can also be caused by standing too open, in which case your descending line is outside the line of direction, and considerably inside of it on the follow through. (Copyright John F.
