MANBELL KEEPS BOXING TITLE Canzoneri Weakens After Taking; First Two Rounds : Os Scrap Chicago. Aug. 3.—<U.R>—- Quick thinking in a crisis wan credited today with saving Sammy Mandell from> losing his lightweight boxing title to Tony Canzoneri. in the second round of their championship bout In Paddy Harmon's big west side stadium last night Tony drove his left glove deep into the champion’s stomach. Mandell's guard dropped awav from his face us the force of the blow took effect. Quick a.s a flash Tony followed up his advantage with hard blows on each side of Sammy's jaw. The champion staggered back against the roi>es and the zealous Canzoneri drew one pace away, preparing to crash his opponent with a killing right that would raise the Ait'ile New York Italian to the lightweight championship of the world. That was the crisis in which Mandell's knowledge of boxing saved him from the closest brush with a knockout in his entire ring career. The ropes kept him from dodging and his awkward stance made fighting impossible. So Sammy literally jumped into the challenger and hung on while Tony tried in vain to shake him away. It was a fine piece of ring generalship. In that split second of action Canzoneri saw his one chance of gaining a knockout fade away in the bnllianc of Sammy Mandell's superior ability to do just the right thing at just the right time. If this clume>' lunge had been a fraction of a second » later it would have been too late. Thus passed the climax of the championship .fight. The rest of the way it was good entertainment for the biggest crowd ever to witness an indoor tout in this country, but few of the spectators had any other! thought than that Mandell would win Mandell's great left hand, with j which he has outpointed so many opponents in the past, worked almost j as effectively against Canzoneri, al-1 though the challenger got inside of it on several occasions. Both boxers expressed disappoint-, ment with the bout, Mandell because of his own showing and Tony with the decision. The decision was not unanimous. Ed Klein and little Phil Collins, the two judges voted for Mandell but Dave Barry, who first became nationally known as a referee after the fatpous “14 count” over Gene Tunnev. believed Canzoneri won.

SPEAKING OF SP@RT BY FRANK GETTY

The Handwriting on the Wall Several major league managers are in danger of losing their }obs at the close of the 1929 season. Dan Howley, capable manager of the St. Louis Browns, is apt to transfer his activities to another major league club next season l>ecause of failure to get along with the “swivelchair” directors of the club. Howley deserves praise for his success in taking over a seventh place club and making it over into a first division outfit on almost nothing. Instead, he probably wil lose his job. Jack Hendricks, the genial leader of the Cincinanti Reds, is slated to go the way of all unsuccessful managers. The Reds have been the biggest disappointment of the season, and it may. or may not, be Hendricks’ fault. Scanning the Reds' lineup. it looks more like lack of hitting than anything else. There’s only one regular .300 hitter in the Cincinnati lineup day in and day out—OT Curt Walker. Clarence (Pants) Rowland, who is managing the Nashville Southern League club, has been mentioned as Hendricks’ successor. Rowland managed the White Sox from 1915 JJirough 1918, winning the American League pennant and world championship in 1917. Those of us who look forward to Jack Hendricks’ visits to New York will hate to see him go. Jack always had a story, and the boys were always welcome in his room. Firing Lena Again Lena Hlackburne has been fired off and on all season so it won't do any harm to can him again. In the first place, Lena wasn't cut out for a major league manager. He lost his head over authority. Lena Is a smart baseball man and a great coach. When he was only a coach with the White Sox, he was welHiked by players but has lost a lot of his popularity since he's been trying to manage the team. If Lena goes, a Texas league man-

August 1. was reported to have given Mandell the last eight rounds. Collins awarded Canzoneri three. Mandell five and two even. Dave thought Canzoneri landed the harder punches and that his aggressiveness was to his credit. HOME RUN CLUB Klein.

ager may go to the helm of the WTiite Sox. Jakey Atz. former manager of the Fort Worth club, has been mentioned for the post, as has Derrill Pratt, manager of the Waco team. Atz has produced pennant winners in the Texas league. Pratt has never won a pennant but has had signal success in developing young stars. Among his products are Willis Hudlin of the Indians, Art Shires and George B'ackberby of the White So.-;, Ray Benge of the Philles, and Hal Elliott of the Cardinals. The Boston Braves are looking tor a new manager for next season ami Wilbert Robinson, president and manager of the Brooklyn club, may give up the managerial reins. The Brooklyn fans want a new manager, and Uncle Robbie is willing to step aside as manager, but wants to hang on to his job as president of the club. Anything can happen as long as Sam Breadon is manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, and William B. McKechnie, who recently came back to take over the team after Billy Southworth’s failure, is none to osure of his place. Bill Carrigan, manager of the Boston Red Sox. hasn't ben able to do anything with the club and is still in the cellar after three years of trying to build up a winner. Walt Johnson has a two-year contract as manager of Washington, but may not stick it out. Some of the Big .Train's friends say he will retire after this season, and it is rumored that Dan Ijowley may take hfs place. Peckinpaugh and Shotton Two managers who have accomplished great results this season are tßoger Peckinpaugh and Burt Shotten. Peck has rebuilt the Cleveland club and by next season the Indians figure to be in the thick of the pennant race. Shotten has reorganized the Phillies out of a group of young players and is heading some place. JThe Phillies have two of the best oyungsters In the National league in Chuck Klein and Pinky Whitney.

PREVENTION OF SUICIDE IS UP TO PSYCHIATRY Detroit Specialist Says That Death Impulse Can Be Cured Detroit, Aug. 3. U.R. The suicide impulse is a curable disease, accord-, ing to Dr. J. Clark Maloney of the division of neuropsychiatry, depat ment of medicine of Ute Henry Ford hospital. Dr. Maloney has conducted a research for several years on the causes and the cure of sulcidak tendencies. He presented his views and the results of his studies after seven persons had taken their lives in 10 days here, three of them by jumping from skyscrapers. During the same period 10 others were near death from attempted suicides. Dr. Maloney points out that despite the growing prevalence of suicide little Is done to try to prevent it, though in his opinion suicide is curable, the same as tuberculosis, can <er, diptheria and other diseases which have brought about huge preventative campaigns. Death Rate Statistics United States census bureau death rate statistics show that in 192t> suicides outnumbered smallpox deaths 32 to 1 and scarlet fever sto 1. From 1912 to 1926 the death rate for typhoid fever was reduced from 16.5 per 100.000 to 6.5. In the same period suicide dropped only from 16 deaths per 100,000 to 12.8. Deaths due to diphtheria were cut from 18.2 to 7.5, and meningitis from 11.5 to 3.1. Each day in the Ford hospital division of neuro-psychiatry five or more cases of potential suicide are examined and preventive measures begun. “The real suicide,' 'said Dr. Moloney, “like the real poet or musician, is born and not made. The born suicide may never actually take his life.! just as a person born with an alcoholic] personality may never take a drink. Yet he has a definite type of psychiatric makeup. “A suicide makeup is an outgrowth of two different influences, one the hereditary and the other the environmental. If a person has the hereditary tendencies towards the suicide personality and does not kill himself it is because the environmental factor is lacking. Inferiority Complex “He will in most cases, however, possess a marked inferiority complex. In order to balance that he will attempt to excel in some particular line of endeavor which he hopes will place him above the plane of his fellowmen. “The direct cause of suicide is the awareness of the frustration of ideals or ambition. This may be either real or imagined. The loss of hope that he ever wilF be any different is by far the most important symptom, and it is the hope which must be built up at the beginning of the cure. "Those /ipt to commit suicide usually are persons of ability with emotional capacity. Suicide is not an act of the intelligence, but of the emotions. The types includes such persons as bank presidents, high pressure salesmen, brilliant musicians, wirters or otherwise talented persons. Their ages generally are between 40 and 60.” o~Rensselaer Lad Joins “Hole-In-One” Club Rennsselaer, Ind., Aug. 3.— (U.R) — Leon Kresler, 14-year-old caddy, was a full pledged golfer today after scoring a hole-in-one on Curtis Creek course here. Kresler “sunk” a 112-yard tee shot on the second hole in the presence of two other players. The youth's father, Frank Kresler, scored two aces with the same club two years ago. Young Kresler is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kresler who formerly owned the Adams theatre In this city. — o Get tne Habit—Trade at Home, tt Pave
