M’LARNIN TO WHIP CANZONERI, ROSS TELLS WILLIAMS

Irishman’s Edge in Weight Seen as Deciding Factor in Coming Fight by Champion Barney Figures Tony May Hit Floor Friday Night; DempSey Can’t Make Up Mind as to Winner, but Predicts Certain Knockout; Col. Joe Disagrees. BY JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Writer NEW YORK, May s.—ls you had Madison Square Garden on your hands for the summer what would you do with it? John Reed Kilpatrick, the old Yale Blue, who is running the big store, has put up SIOOO in cash for the best suggestions. Since Mr. Kilpatrick has been gracious enough to permit the professional critics to compete, pointing out that they have never hesitated to tell him how to run his business, it would perhaps be unsporting on our part not to enter the competition in a spirited manner.

My own ideas on the subject are somewhat radical, but inasmuch as there aeem to be no restrictions as to what form or substance the sug-

gestions may take, I don't suppose there will be any objections to my making a bold, forthright statement. If I were Mr. Kilpatrick and 1 intended to keep the big store open during the summer I would put some fights in it which, in the nor-

Williams

mal run of things, might possibly be of interest to the customers. I realize thus is a revolutionary suggestion, but the gentleman asked for it and there it is. That there is nothing wrong with the big store which an interesting fight card will not cure Is proved by Uie customers’ response to the Can-zoneri-McLamin attraction set for Friday night of this week. This brings together two knucklers of established ability and, as is usually the case, the ticket sellers are busy. Can Tony Canzonerl, the lightweight champion, spot Jimmy McLarnin, the former welterweight champion ten pounds and beat him? a a a I PUT this question to Jack Dempsey at the Derby and after a furious hand-to-hand engagement with the problem he couldn’t make up his mind—which at the moment was rather more concerned with whether to plaj The Fighter to win or place. "I don’t know just how to pick that one,” said Mr. Dempsey, ‘‘but there’s one thing I'm pretty certain of, and that is the fight will not go the limit. Both of these fellows are hard hitters and I look for a knockout before the tenth round is over. Canzoneri is the type of fighter that can stiffen you with a punch, and so is McLarnin. When you bring such fighters together, a knockout generally follows.” I INTERVIEWED another expert witness on the same subject at the Derby and Barney Ross, the current welterweight champion, was more direct in his testimony. Mr. Ross came out flatfooted (there always was something wrong with his dogs) for McLarnin. “The Irisher will have too big a pull in the weights for Canzoneri,” said Mr. Ross. “He’s a great fighter but he isn’t great enough to concede a puncher like McLarnin 10 pounds and beat him. I think Canzoneri will be doing all right if he manages to escape a knockout.” a u u MR. ROSS has come around to the belief that power and weight have much in common, that the more solid poundage a fighter carries the harder he hits. This has been his own experience. He is heavier, more filled out than he was a year ago and is hitting with greater .force. Mr. Dempsey may be correct in his forecast of a knockout either way hut I have my doubts. I think Canzoneri faces a greater risk in this connection, because he figures to be easier to hit. He carries both hands low and a fast puncher—which McLarnin is. or used to be, should find this to his liking. WARREN CENTRAL IS VICTOR IN DUAL MEET Triumphing in 12 of 13 events, Warren Central athletes turned back Greenfield in a dual track and field meet on their home field yesterday. The winners totaled 76 points, to 33 for Greenfield. Smith of Warren Central was high in individual scoring with 13 points. Pope of Greenfield edged out Wesselman of Warren in a close 220-yard dash and Long. Warren Central freshman, beat the field in the half mile.

Numa Anxious to Snap ‘Secret’ Win Streak in Mat Go Masked Grappler Takes On Rugged Foe in Scrap at Armory Tonight. The “Black Secret,” a 220-pound hooded grappler who has gone undefeated here in seven matches and who has not chosen to date to .reveal his identity, is scheduled for a tough assignment at the Armory tonight when he takes on Leo Numa, 220, rugged Seattle star. It will be the first full route “big time” tussle for the “Secret” in the local arena. Numa, one of the best of the younger heavies, has tossed several well-known grapplers and has twice extended Danno O’Mahoney in Armory bouts. He has high hope of removing the “mpstery” surrounding his opponent. The masked matman has won six tugs and broken even in another, going the limit in a 30-minute battle with Abe Coleman. The Numa encounter calls for two falls out of three with a time limit of 90 minutes. Count Zarynoff, 206, who showed to advantage here last week, meets Jack Morgan, 215, Nashville, Term., and Cliff Olson, 218, Minneapolis, opposes Louis Thesz, 215, St. Louis, in supporting bouts. Action is to start at 8:30.

Hoosiers Tackle Speeding Saints Apostles Win 9 in Row; Shiver Shines. (Continued from Page 16) sters boomed a homer over the fence in the second stanza and Roy Pfleger hit one for the Millers in the third. Blondy Ryan connected for the round trip in the sixth, when Minneapolis staged a big inning and scored four markers. Going into the eighth the score was 6-5, Millers, and the Bushmen had virions of making it three in a row over the Killefer clan. Then Shiver met the horsehide on the nose and gave it a swift ride out of the park. The champions were held runless in the eighth and ninth. Hits were 10 for each club. The Indians got by with one error, while the Millers were charged with three miscues.
