TAYLOR RETAINS HIS RING TITLE Hoosier Boxer Defeats Tony Canzoneri In Championship Bout At Chicago Chicago, June 25 —(United Press) A fighting little Hoosier beat a game little New York Italian for the bantam weight championship of the world, here last night, anil most of th eringside customers said the savage bout was the best they had over seen. Buddy Taylor, who was acclaimed bantam chainpion when Charley Phil Rosenberg was barred from most of the ringside customers said the savhimself on those who said ho did not deserve the honor, and that he was on the down grade. He beat Tony Canzoneri, New York challenger in six out of ten rounds Canzoneri earned two of the rounds and two were even. Both lads left the ring with faces smeared with blood, and features puffed almost beyond recognition. But neither backed up. and neither was afraid to take a blow to land one. The Taylor who fought Canzoneri was a different Taylor than the man who fought him indoors last March. He was trained to the .minute, lithe as a panther and fierce as a wildcat He weighed 117% pounds and that 117% was all heart. Taylor's rapier like left, which i jolted Canzoneri time and again in i every round earned him the clean cut victory. He popped and poked, and slammed and slashed that left to Tony's head and heart,, meanwhile peppering away at the smiling Italian’s body with his right. In the meantime Canzoneri was pounding and slashing at Taylor’s mouth and nose with alternate lefts and rights. He closed the champion’s left| eye completely in the ninth. Canzoneri won the third by mauling Taylor's chin and heart. The fourth was even, with both fighters standing toe to toe and trading left jabs. Canzoneri's other round was the fifth, when he had Taylor worried. and backed into the ropes. He hooked lefts to the snout and the body, but Taylor went into his shell and weathere dthe round successfully In the sixth Taylor stepped out as though he was going to try to finish Tony, with savage lefts to the head and rights to the body. He won that . Ji'd bl -i >■ .-S H1 -in .... ‘ From then on it was all Taylor. It was Taylor’s best fight, and probably the thougest fight he'll evei have. o ♦ WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD 4 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦* Yesterday’s hero — Hollis Thurston, Washington pitcher, who hurled and batted the Senators to a 5-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
