TITLE SCRAP j TO BE TONIGHT ' Chicago, April 24 — (U.R) The 'lightweight championship, which •j changed hands twice last year on ' first round knockouts, will be at •Istake again tonight when Tonv i : Canzoneri of New York, 135-pottnd 'titleholder, meet Jack (Kid) Berg . English challenger, in a 10-round N Lout at the Chicago stadium. Actually two titles will be in t volved as Borg holds the junior welterweight championship, and for , the first time in ring history a title i must be won and lost regardless of the victor. The outcome pivits around B’rg's ability to make the lightweight limlit of 135 pounds and retain the strength and stamina to keep up his : tireless attack. Berg was quoted an 8-5 favorite today, principally because he whip | | ped Canzoneri when neither held a title in New York in January las' j year. Once before Canzoneri held a | championship, and in his first at- , tempt to defend it he lost. He won official recognition as featherweigh' titleholder by defeating Benny Bass in February. 1928, and lost the 128-pound crown to Andre Routis of France in September the same year. Growing into a lightweight. Can I zoneri obtained /i title match with Sammy Mandell in 1929, but lost | the decision. In his second chance I at the lightweight championship he Knocked out Al Singer in 66 seconds of fighting last November. Singer previously had won the title by knocking out Mandell in 1 minute, 32 seconds, in July last year. Since he was held to a draw by Stanislaus Loayza in June, 1929. ■ Berg has won 24 consecutive bouts I including victories over Bruce Flowers, < Joe Glick, the Perlick I twins.
