ROSS RETAINS CHAMPIONSHIP World Light weight Champ Defeats Canzoneri In Great Battle New York. Sept. IS. — (U.R) — Against a background of ancient Hebrew splendor, young Barney Ros* last night proved hitnself another great Jewish champion by retaining his world lightweight title against Tony Canzonet i. It was the most thrilling battle staged in New York in many a year. When Joe Humphries announced that Ross had won the 15-round decision, the cheers of 31,000 tans ! in the Polo grounds swept up the field and were flung back from a ] massive canvas and beaverboard ( temple erected on the grounds for, tomorrow night’s mammoth Jewish i pageant, "The Romance of a People ’’ Most newspapermen at the ring- . side and most of the fans thought Ross won by a decisive margin, al-1 though the two judges disagreed, | and Referee Arthur Donovan cast , the deciding vote. He penalized Canzoneri for low blows in three,' ropnds. This writer gave Ross i eight rounds. Canzoneri four, and' scored three even. Judge George Kelly gave the ver-1 diet to Canzoneri. and had the other Judge Harold Hames agreed with him, the little New York Italian would have become the first i lightweight ex champion in ring history to regain the title. Despite this official disagree 1 mt nt. the sleek, dark-haired Ross proved he was not champion merely by virtue of a "home town" decision. He took the title from Canzoneri at Chicago on June 23. It was a great fight, and it’s doubtful if any one of the customers who paid $114,000 to see the battle, regretted his outlay. Net receipts were $98.0(10, of which Ross received about $33,000. The 23-year-old Ross won on I stamina, strength and cleaner punching. He had the physical advantages of being taller, rangier and stronger than Tony.

His darting left jab con Initially speared the dancing Tony and put him off balance, and his hammering right to heart or jaw did plenty of damage. Despite this equipment, Ross absorbed considerably punishment Tony was the worse for wear at the tinal gong. His mouth was cut and bleeding, his left eye blackened and his kidneys were tomato red from pounding. Ross was virtually unmarked except for a couple of bruises on his hips from alleged ■ low blows and a trickle of blood i from his nose. STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE W. I. Pct.

WORMS TO SETBAIT Durango, Col.. —(UP) — It was quite a shocking experience for tho worms when three Durango m.-n started giving them electrical treatments. It was hard work digging the worms every time they wanted to go fishing, and besides that. It was little if any fun. So, to put a little punch in the worm getting business Dr. C. C. McCormick, L. C. Philips and Richard Macomb became ingenious. They rigged up an electric worm extractor. Two ice pidks were supplied with electric wiring. McCormick and Phillips manned the picks. Macomb from a comfortable position on a porch lounge, handled the switch. McCormick and Phillips would work the picks into the gronnd. When they both had the picks well placed they would shout: "Ready.” Then Macomb would turn on the “juice”—and the underground inhabitants would receive a new kind ' of thrill. The worms would come bounding out of the ground, having experienced the shock of their lives, and it was no trouble at all to pick 1 them up and imprison them in cans ’ until they could be used to lure ■ fish from their native haunts.
