‘Old Pete’ Coming Back?

'.. . i

A few days ago, Grover Cleveland Alexander, famous hurler, visited the scene of many of his diamond conquests, Phillies park. Alex (left) now is manager of the House of David club. Those who expected to find Old Pete with rusty, unkept whiskers, baggy trousers and shabby shoes, were disappointed. He was dressed in a natty outfit of knickers. His skin was clear and fresh, his eye sparkling and keen. He radiated health. It was the nearest approach to the old master of fifteen years ago his friends had seen in a decade. “I’m taking care of myself,” Alex informed. “I have learned to be sensible and temperate. I keep pitching a little every day and my arm feels splendid. I wouldn’t mind taking a shot at the leagues again. I feel that the.dead bai. would be a big boon for me.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘Veteran’ Canzoneri Out to Collect Five Ring Crowns

BY DIXON STEWART By United Press SUMMIT, N. J., Sept. 3.—Not satisfied with being the only boxer ever to win four world’s championships, Tony Canzoneri now is turning his attention to a more difficult goal—the simultaneous holding of five titles. The 22-year-old Brooklyn Italian, who started boxing as an amateur in New Orleans more than ten years ago, told of his ambition for the first time today in an interview with the United Press. “After I prove my right to the lightweight and junior-welterweight titles which I now hold, by beating Jack (Kid) Berg at the Polo Grounds next Thursday, I’ll be ready to meet Billy Petrolle, the only other serious contender for these titles,” said Canzoneri. “Then

Hoosier Pros in Title Play Neal Mclntyre, Highland golf pro and state P. G. A. champion; Ralph Stonehouse, Pleasant Run pro, and Walter Murray, Valparaiso pro, will leave next week for Providence, R. 1., where the national P. G. A. tournament will be held Sept. 14 to 19. They will be part of a field of 104 of the country’s leading golf professionals who will compete for the title. The meet will be match play with thirty-six holes of qualifying golf on Monday, Sept. 14, to determine the thirty-two who will continue on with the match play. Mclntyre defeated Stonehouse in a three-time playoff with Stonehouse for the Indiana pro crown and Murray finished third.

I’d like to go back into the featherweight class and fight Bat Battalino for the championship and take on Kid Chocolate for the junior-light-weight crown. “If I regain those titles, and*l’m sure I can, I’ll see Manager Goldman to get me a shot at welterweight champion Jack Thompson. “I still can make the featherweight limit although I’ve been fighting among the lightweights ever since I lost the 126-pound title to Andre Routis in 1928. I weighed only 129-pounds when I knocked out Berg at Chicago in April and I wasn’t even trying to get down then. When I win the five titles, I’ll be satisfied. I can’t make the bantamweight limit and never will hold that title, although I got a draw in a championship fiqht with Bud Taylor when he held the title.” Canzoneri is a much better fighter now than when he held the featherweight title three years ago. Although he has been fighting for ten years he apparently is just attaining his full prowess and the punch which he has developed in the last year makes him a much more dangerous fighter than in his younger years when he depended solely on stamina and boxing ability.
