BY Sid Mercer

NEW YORK, Aug. 3-A featherweght champion viii be
crowned on the night q September in Ebbets Field when Red
Chapman Of Boston, and Tony Canzeron Of New
ton last year of Louis Kid Kapan.
The late yesterday
after brief conference with Sammy Goldman manager Of Canzone
Chapman had left to Fugay to pick the best opponent
The Washington times., 1927-08-03

This match viii mark the end Of 4
long trail for Chapnanone that
has been hedged by many disap.
tpointments. He was twice matched
with Kaplan, who resigned the title
finally through inability to make
the weight.
Chapman and Benny Bass, OF
Philadelphia. met at Madison Square
Garden last winter in an elimina-
ton bout. Bass went to the floor
in the second round and was
awarded the decision on q foul. He
has since refused to meet Chap
man again.
Johnny Dundee, former cham.
plOn, applied for permission to
box Chapman. who was willing
to recognize Dundee's claim Of
the title and accept q small per-
Centage. When the time came
60 sign the papers Dundee had
changed his mind.
The New York boxing commission,
realizing that Chapman had barred
no opponents and had been willing
to make any sacrifice to get q title
shot, decreed last week that the
Boston boy meet the best man
available, the winner to be recog-
nized az champion. The commission
suggested Bass but he declined.
Canzoneri fits all requirements.
$500; but instead Of calculating
from the average gate, Griffith
and Frank Navin preferred to
let Walters check begin incu-
batting from the smallest gate

generosity term many people
who don't know Griffith and
Navin never attach to their
names.
"A touch Of baseball color
which brought back shades Of
20 years ago was the presence
in his customary seat behind
the Washington dugout Of Pierre
Bonseigneur, who is known
locally only 81 "Frenchy."
Time after time Frenchy
trotted out on the dugout roof
in his old-time form and cheered
the new Griffmen as he did the
old. Frenchy spent d delightful
day IN Washington yesterday re-
neWing acquaintances. He could
hardly move iii the downtown

He was the guest Of Bert

We care not for what the record

plenty. His story there must

be in uniform now. We care
only for his life Of fair contact
with his fellow men for twenty
four hours out Of each twenty
four--over his span Of twenty
years Of public exposure.
After all, my friends, that

Walter had finished his brief,

carried out quite solemnly, we
thought, over the amplifiers,
