Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK. July 18 —The prize fight racket has anew lightweight champion today, a swarthy. aquint-*Ted, olack-haired, youth from £he east side—that noisy, turbulent, aromatic Jewish section of the metropolis that produced Leonard and such lesser lights as Terris and Goldstein. Abraham Singer is his name. A1 they call him in the ring. He took over the championship by smashing the weightweakened Sammy Mandell into a bund’s of limp flesh in less than two minutes of pounding in the first round Thursday night. a a a A, s ronlwit It •r Ih- nfKhbor'i children. kcßtlcl ami uoDiou. hr nature and rcan. left tb* Vankee Stadium kicking thcmwlrea In the oantlea and growling that tor hid contributed their dough to another Batle h.r,larr. „ , m It la trie, or ccrorae **•*.*£** ,f ld tg kcx nigh* Mandell *a* represented an Sr&°Sffi w.V legitlmatelv^contested. mam The hoca who peered at Mandell at W* tratnlnr ramp and wrote that hes waa all tobbed pp and ready for the clothe. line called the torn.

Never before had the lightweight championship heritage of fistic heroes from Jack McAuliffe down through Benny Leonard, changed hands so suddenly and unexpectedly. Mandell, worn with the effort of making the class limit of 135 pounds, failed to put up the first semhblance of a fight in defense of *his title. Dropped by a snappy left hook to the jaw in less than a minute of fighting in the first round, Sammy was a helpless and ready victim for the eager New Yorker. Down Four Times Four more times, Mandell, scarcely able to raise his hands, went down, taking the final count stretched flat in the resin, knocked out by a crushing one-two punch to the jaw. The end came one minute and forty-six seconds after the opening bell. Sammy was carried to his corner while Singer, raised to the heights of a championship after less than three full years In the ring, danced with joy. Singer had entered the ring a 3 to 1 favorite, but the sudden ending of the bout astounded even the most ardent admirers and backers of the Bronx boy. Every one had reckoned that Mandell’s ring craft, bred of ten years in the ring, would serve to stave off the attack of the challenger for some time. Mandell took a world of punishment, unable to strike back or defend himself, but was game to the end. When he recovered conscious--ness, Sammy said that making the lightweight limit had sapped his strength and that the first left hook to his jaw stunned him and wiped out what powers of resistance remained. Chocolate to Challenge Singer, of course, promised immediately to be a fighting champion, the customary promise for anew titleholder. But there is little prospect of the Bronx boy defending the title this year. Kid Chocolate, who beat him last summer, is to fight Jack (Kid) Berg of England here Aug. 7, after which the Cuban will challenge for the lightweight championship. Singer is more likely to be seen on the vaudeville stage than in the ring for the remainder of 1930. Singer has been boxing professionally less than three years and won his title before reaching his majority. Officially, Singer is 22 years old, New York commisison rules prohibiting boxers under 21 from participating in bouts of more than six rounds—but actually A1 will not attain voting age until Sept. 6, 1930. The new champion has engaged in fifty-seven profesisonal - bouts, winning twenty by knockouts, twen-ty-nine by decision and one on a foul. He was held to a draw in two fights, lost four by decision and has been knocked out once.

Joe Stripp, former Columbus star, succeeded Kelly at first, giving Howley an allformer American Association infield lineup, the other members of the inner works being Horace Ford, Minneapolis, second; Tony Cuccinello, Columbus, third, and Leo Durocher, St. Paul, shortstop.

Benny Duke knocked out Sammy Price recently and has battled other prominent pugs, including Sammy Mandell, Jimmy Goodrich, Harry Dublinski and the Perlick twins. This is another match wherein a fast local lad faces improved opposition. In the eight-rounder Louis Epstein, Indianapolis, will be sent agdinst Jimmy Kerry, Michigan, 126-pounder, who as a flyweight held the National A. A. U. title. In a six-rounder Harold Sarris, Terre Haute, will scrap Eddie Roberts, Indianapolis, at 118 pounds. Principals in the four-rounder will be named later. There will be no advance in prices.

Bv Time 4 Svecinl COLUMBUS, 0., July 18.—One big inning, the fifth, in which the Senators scored five runs as the Indians blew up brought victor;’ to Columbus in the series opener Thursday, lu to 6. Ambrose and Simmons were laced by the home boys and Burwell pitched the eighth after Tom Angley batted for Simmons. Kemner was driven to cover by the Tribesmen in the fourth and Braxton went in and put the check to the Hoosier attack. Each club got ten hits, but all four Tribe errors were costly and each figured in the Senator scoring. Barnhart dropped a fly. Riddle threw the ball away, and Monahan and Narlesky contributed fumbles.

Hits Into Double Play Angley made his debut as an Indian by hitting into a double play in the eighth, having joined the team Thursday morning, coming from the K. C. Blues to take the place of Joe Sprinz who was sold to Cleveland. Tire Corridenites got away to a two-run advantage in the first round and Columbus came back with one. Each scored once in the second, but in the third the Indians went runless while the Senators got two to tie the count at 3 and 3. Tribe Leads Three Times Two more Tribe runs went over in the fourth and Columbus tallied once, making the score 5 and 5, In the fifth the Indians got one and the Buckeyes followed with a game-winning rally of five runs. It will be noticed the Indians had the lead three times. Pete Monahan clouted a home run in the second with the sacks empty. According to gossip heard around the Tribe hotel here Ollie Tucker, outfielder with Buffalo, is slated to join the Indians shortly. He was with Kansas City last year on option by Cleveland. He bats lefthanded.

All competitors will play eighteen holes today and the field will be cut for the final thirty-six holes Saturday. Manero shot a 33-34—67 Thursday for one of the lowest cards ever compiled in a Metropolitan open, but even this did not leave him much of a margin.

Camera Knocks Out Wriglit; See Slaps Mitt Association Giant Negro Given 22 Count and Made to Continue Aftei) Being Gut of Ring.

Bu United Pres a OMAHA, Neb., July 18.—While big Primo Camera, Italian heavyweight, was working steam roller .tactics on Bearcat Wright, Omaha Negro, knocking Wright out of the ring and finally flattening him for the count in the fourth round, Leon See, member of the Italian’s retinue, Thursday night complained of the frigid attitude of the National Boxing Association toward his fighter. Wright, who appeared big until Camera entered the ring beside him, managed to slip through the first round without serious injuries. That, however, was about the end of his night’s work, which was to have lasted ten rounds. Camera whittled the Negro down during the third, and early in the fourth round sent Wright through the ropes. The Negro’s body snapped the lower rope, carrying it dangling with him. Referee Miller of Chicago counted twenty-two before Wright was ia ft position to carry on, but ruled the fight was not over because the Italian failed to go to a neutral corner. Camera came up with another right to the chin and Wright

Orp., next Monday will begin defense of his western amateur golf title with perhaps the greatest field of contenders ever entered in the tournament trying to wrest from him the honors he won last year. Gradually increasing in prestiga each summer until it unquestionably has become cne of America's major tournaments, the western amateur this year nas drawn such a great field that '"here will be no outstanding favorite when some 200 golfers tee off on the Beverly course. Moe, because oi his victory last year and the great golf he has played this season, will be favored to repeat. Two Englishmen who are regarded as the best in rheir country, have entered. Perhaps the better of the) two is Cyril Tolley, doubtless tho longest driver in golf. Tolley won the British amateur in 1929 and has played consistent golf since thab time until he entered tyie National open at Minneapolis last week. Coupled with Tolley as Britain’s entry will be T. Phillip Perkins, who won the British title in 1928 and the same year was runnerup to Bobby Jones in the United States amateur. In addition to King George’s representatives, there will be at least half a dozen Americans who must be conceded a chance *to take away Moe’s title.
