CANZONERI IS FIGHT WINNER Chicago, April 25.— U.R) From j 130 to 140 pounds, Tony Can?: neri lof New Yolk tou.ij i ui> u the nsllc world. He successfully defended his lightweight championship and won the junior weltherweight title by knocking out Jack (Kid t Berg of England after two minutes, 23 sec onds of fighting in the third round of a scheduled 10-round bout here last night. Canzoneri weighed 132 Berg i.’HL.

A crowd of 11.780 paid $54,663.73 •to see Canzonerl win his third boxing championship. Before winning the lightweight title from Al Singer!! I last November, Canzonerl had held I latfd lost the featherweight crown. , The end came last night after a l furious exchange near a neutral | corner. Canzonerl had his back I against the ropes, with Berg bor ■ ing in( flinging both fists. Ca*-| 1 zoneri smashed out with his right. and it caught Berg, ccming in. on . the jaw and almost suspended the little Englishman in mid-air. j Berg fell flat on his stomach. Asli the count reached six-seven-eight. I Berg began pulling himself to his I feet. At nine, he was almost up on his haunches, but he couldn't I quite make it and lie tumbler over | against the ropes, and back to the floor again as tlie referee tolled ten. From the outset Canzoneri had | carried the fight to Berg, and had i won the first two rounds and was out in front in the third round. Berg, usually a tireless fighter. ; couldn't seem to hit his stride. He , started a rally in the second round. : but Canzoneri slowed him up with 1 solid punches, aimed accurately at long range. Another time Berg began bis windmill style of punching, and Canzoneri bent over like a knife half open taking the punches I ,on his back. i Berg recovered quickly from his knockout and announced in his ' dressing room afterward that he I] would launch a campaign to get a! return match with Canzoneri. ‘T wasn’t myself,' 'said Berg. ”1 j i beat Canzoneri a year ago and I think I can do it again if given the ■ chance." It was Berg’s first defeat in 27 matches since he was held to a draw by Stanislaus Loayza in June, i 1929, and the first time he had ever been counted out. Billy Petrolic scored a 5-round technical knack-1 out over him here in 1928. The knockout over Berg was the 26th K. O. registered by Canzoneri | I in 99 matches since he began fighting in 1925 after coming out of the i amateur ranks. ] o STANDINGS — National League W. L.
