CHICAGO, May 4.-Bud Taylor
and Tony Canzoneri today retained
their regulations as the best bantam
weights in boxing and logical op-
ponents in bout to settle the title
in that division.
Taylor scored a decision over Abe
Atell Goldstein, eX-champion. al
though the decision was booed by
the fans, and Canzoneri won a tech
nical knock cut over Ray Rychell in
the seventh round Tuesday night.
Goldstein punched Taylor hard.
Abe scored d knockdown with a right
cross in the first round and-kept
furnishing the Terre Haute boy
throughout the fight.
1t was the judges opinion, how
ever, that. Taylor hit the ''old
clothes man" oftener if his blows
were not as telling. Most sport
writer's gave each of the boys four
rounds and scored the other two
even.
Canzoneri battered Rychell until
he was out on his feet in the seventh
and then asked Referee Dave Miller
to stop the fight. Rychell, who is
the best of the local bantams, was
no match for the smuggling italian.

Tribe Held Idle Tuesday;
Eastern Teams Picking
Up Ground.

BIZ Times Special
ST. PAUL, May 1.-THE Indians
Of Bruno Bethel are having a tough
time becoming acclimated. They
have seen very little sunshine since
the A. A. season opened and some
of the veterans are longing for warm
days. They enjoyed only three days
of good weather while at home and
this road trip has failed to produce
improvement.
Rain and cold weather held the
athletes idle in st. Paul Tuesday
and another double-header was add
ed to the growing list that means
much work for the pitchers later.
Close With Saints
The Tribesmen were to wind up
the series with the Saints here this
afternoon and tonight the Bethel
FASTENERS will be en- route to Kan
sas City to open a round of battles
with the Blues Thursday.
1t looked like Leverett and Zah-
niser would be the pitchers at Lex
ington Park today and the contest
was to decide the series winner
owing to the fact the Indians won
Sunday and the Saints Monday.
The clubs representing the eastern
half of the A. A. circuit are begin
ming to claw back at their western
rivals and the race is beginning to
tighten. The lowly Senators devol-
oped punch at Milwaukee Tuesday
and walloped the Brewers while at
Kansas City the Toledo Hens slaugh-
tered the Blues. Louisville and Min
neapolis. like Indianapolis and st.
Paul. were knocked out by bad
weather.
hIilIers Flop
The fall Of the Millers has reached
a point where it is becoming funny.
Kelley's crew won eight games in
row and them dropped seven con-
secutive battles. If the Millers lose
the next one they will be even with
the board going down."
A popular topic of discussion
among the Indians concerns the
player limit and who is going to get
the gate" on or before June l, when
club rosters unjust be trimmed to
twenty. The team is one over the
limit and one of the outfielders or
one of the pitchers must depart.

Tommy Loughran, Philadelphia,

The fight probably ended Strih-
