DUNDEE BEATEN BY CANZONERI Veteran Os 326 Ring Battles Passes From Spotlight And Headlines By Frank Getty UP Sports Editor New York, Oct. 25.—T0 the drumbeat of a younger fighter’s fists. Johnny Dundee has passed from the spotlight and the headlines. Shorn of his last excuse for fighting, after a decisive and not unexpected defeat at the hands of Young Tony Canzoneri of Brooklyn, the veteran of :t_'J ring battles admitted today that he was through. ‘I thought I could defend my old title a; the weight,” said John, "but 1 couldn't make the grade.” Dundee tried one of the most unusual "come-backs" in ring history last night. He reduced from his natural weight of somewhere around 145 pounds to make the featherweight limit of 126, and took on one of the best youngesters in the game in Canzoneri. The result was inevitable. Canzoneri won from the opening bell, and the marvel of it was that Johnny's ringcraft carried him through the 15 rounds that the final hell found him still on his feet. It was a poor fight, even as fights go in this refined age. ahd only the! game exhibition of the old Italian kept the crowd in Madison Square Garden! from booing both boxers out of the 1 ring. They will be claiming the feather-> weight title for Tony Canzoneri, now, but it won’t mean a thing. Dundee.! until last night, never had defended! the title he won from Gallant Gene Crioui four years ago. o Y ¥*¥¥¥•¥¥¥¥¥¥ .'.t Y- Y- i * ON THE SIDELINES * * In * * THE BIG TEN * YYYY-YY- ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ Y* By United Press Champaign. 111. — Defense against Michigan foimations has assumed the spotlight in University of Illinois football practice this week.

C. W. Beckham as governor of this state, has been made by the spokesman of the Kent* ky Jockey Club. 1! ‘ckham, a democrat, in his r.W-e for the governorship against Judge Fh in D. Sampson, Republican, in the coming November election, adopted an anti-gambling platform, which strikes directly at the operation of the ’ Derby and its attendant* pari-mutuel machines. The throat to remove the site of the derby followed (lose on the publication of an editorial kn the Herald Post, a Democratic oigan, which has lined up for Judge Sampson, instead of his democratic opponent. James B. Brown, owner of the Her-ald-Post, in an editorial challenged 1 Beckham, and Percy Haly and Judge i It. W. Bingham, his chief supporters, i with being in collusion with the book- j ' makers, stating that "if Beckham. f Haly and Bingham should prevail, c I racing could not continue in Kentucky ‘ ; on a decent basis." "At least these conspirators would i abolish the pari-mutuel system and turn racing back to their friends, the bookmakers,” the editor charged. "And this is a disgrace to which the : Kentucky Jockey club does not have to submit." Already, said the editorial circulars have been sent out stating that if Haly obtains control of Kentucky, “the Kentucky Racing commission will have for one of its m tubers a diser -dited turfman and for another, one of the biggest gamblers in America.” Reference is made to the Kentucky derby as an event, "the like of which even New York cannot boast,” and Brown predicted that Chicago was only too eager to have it bi ought there, together with the millions of dollars that are spent in connection with its running. Political leaders on both sides were watching with keen interest this open threat to remove the running of the derby, which has been an ’ ‘institution" here for the past 53 years. o KINGMICHAEL IS6YERRSOLD Boy King Os Roumania Celebrates Birthday; Political Strife Grows ’ Vienna, Oct. 25—(UP)—King Michael of Roumania celebrated his sixth birthday today unconscious that there rumbled in the country a political volcano that threatened momentarily to break into active eruption. Former Undersecretary of State Manoilescu was arrested yesterday as ; he was crossing the frontier toward Bucharest, carrying letters from Michael’s father, former Crown Prince Carol. Other arrests followed through the night and early today, and mflre were expected in what Roumanian authorities feared was a widespread plot to , return Carol to Roumania and either | nut him on the throne or make him I the power behind his baby boy. now ruing under a regency. The Roumanian government was . jamming down a tight censorship on news while Queen Marie. Princess Helene- Michael’s mother —and other women of the royal court were planning Michael’s birthday party. Troops were sent to guard the frontier against a possible attempt by Carol to enter the country and gather about him enough of his supportera to start a revolt. In connection with the boy Icing’s , b'rthday, the government planned a j popular demonstration of loyalty to ' his regime. o , I Boonville (UP) On the same day she - obtained a divorce from Everett NJc-! -.Vey in Warrick Circuit court here.

The Yellow Jackets will bo put through a hard workout this evening in preparation for the final game on the schedule here next Saturday. Barring accidents in practice, the Yellow Jackets should have their full strength in the field against Kendallville. What a difference a couple of victories makes among the followers of a football team. Until the Bluffton Tigers came to life and bumped off the Fort Wayne Central Tigers three weeks ago, a football game in Bluffton attracted about as much attention among the citizenry as a pop-gun in a boiler factory. Now. since the Tigers beat Central, tied Portland and defeated the Decatur Yellow Jackets, the Bluffton Chamber of Commerce is selling tickets for the Bluffton - Fort Wayne South Side game at Bluffton next Saturday and a recorcl crowd is expected to see the game. The whole world loves a winner. ’ ’ Speaking of badking. the Yellow Jackets have had fine hacking at all of their home games this fall. However. the high school pupils couldn’t

• be graded 100 per cent in pepRip Offs, of the Bluffton News, that portly gentleman (Fan White of the Huntington Herald called him portly »o we’re not afraid to now), is going in strong for game forecasts, since I' he correctly forecast the score of • | the Decatur-Bluffton game. Rip Offs alleges that he told several of his friends that Notre Dame would defeat Indiana last Saturday, 20-6 and the score was 10-6, but he lacked the nerve to put it in his column before the game. Now he expects all of us to believe it. Our trusty shears found the following cause for action in Rip Offs’ column this morning; "Coach Windmill', r. of Hartford township, who is one of Adams county A most efficient and popular coaches, is going to turn out a fast outfit this year—there’s no doubt of t. judging by their showing Saturday night. The quintet is well balanced, •opped off with a big center, and knows how to fight. Hoffman and N. Banter are star men and Heller appears like a comer. Practice At Berne "The Gorillas have no floor and despite this handicap are going right after meat wherever they see it. They use a Berne floor for their practice they miss al noon and at rest periods. Congrats, Willie "The Yellow Jackets won over North Side of Fort <Vayne Saturday ’afternoon. We had hoped for such tin ending since Decatur’s players and fans alike took the defeat admin:stered by the Tigers with such excellent. grace.” The Bluffton Banner uses up a little space in extolling the virtues of our Hartford township

’ Gorillas, also, as follows: "Coach , Windmiller it to be congratulated • on the fine showing his team I made Saturday, as Hartford has no gym in which to practice. The tram looked even better than the strong five which they put on the floor last year, and Decatur had better take warning now." The Gorillas, you remember, went over to Rockcreek.
