Plenty of action was dished out to
ring fans at the new National Guard
Armory Thursday night. where the
American Legion staged its first Of
the proposed weekly boxing shows.
Although the crowd was nothing to
rave over, every one received full
value in action, speed and fight.
The fighters were in the squared
circle giving their best. and the
crowd broke forth with wild cheers
on frequent occasions.

victory from Spider Lewis of FIT.

with everything but the four corners
of the ring, but the soldier boy was
too clever and warded off most of
Reynolds blows by remarkably
clever defensive work.
Those mitt followers who admire
clever defensive fighting may have
gotten kick out of the Cincy boys
performance, but to the biggest part
of the crowd it was rather a pain in
the neck. Covering his chin and jaw
with his gloves and using his fore
arms and elbows to ward off body
attacks, Lewis breezed through the

CHICAGO, March 25.-Their final
workouts completed, Bud Taylor and
Tony Canzoneri, who fight here Sat-
urday night for the bantamweight
boxing championship of the world,
are ready for the gong.
Each fighter apparently is in the
best condition of his life. The tim
ing Of each fighter is almost perfect.
Canzoneri is down to the required
weight, having scaled 1854 pounds
yesterday afternoon. Tony's good
right hand seems to be his best bet
in the fight. He is a body puncher
and advance predictions are that he
will attemp to wear down the Terre
Haute lad.

Mccarthy at the spring training
camp of the Chicago Cubs here.
1.-The boys look like improved ball
players. but you never can tell until
the season is actually under way"
The Cubs will put practically the
same team on the diamond as they
did in 1925. They don't look like
pennant winners, but they are of
first-divisson quality and might cas-
lily be considered a dark horse" in
the long race for the bunting.
Every few of our boys are what
you would call great ball players.
But they are a hustling young gang
of troopers" declares the quiet pilot.
II have never seen a gang of fellows
show so much pep during spring
training. These boys would play a
full game every morning and after
noon IL I would permit 1t.
Another thing in our favor is the
youthfulness Of the club. Only two
men on the entire team have passed
the thirty mark, and they both had
remarkable seasons last year. In
the matter of years, believe we
have the youngest club in the Ma
tional League"

pretty certain to play around In the

cinch for his old berth on the right

tween Webb and Stephenson for the

couple of rockies who have shown
considerable ability in swapping the

also have a pretty fair eye for sock

ten rounds without so much as muss-
ing his hair.
The fact that Reynolds did not
knock the Spider out is nothing to
Jackie's discredit, for the soldier-pug
is one of those freaks of the init
racket, a Fighter who never fights, y
devoting all his time to defensive tao
tics. Occasionally the MCncie boy
broke through the crust of gloves
and forearms, reaching Lewis jaw
with terrific smacks, but the blows
apparently had little effect in dis
turbing the Spider. Reynolds was
the winner all the way and deserved
a lot OF credit for his aggressiveness,
without which the bout would have
been total loss.
The other ten-rounder, however,
made up for any deficiencies in the
windup, and was voted by the big

with flaming red thatch, carried off
honors in the first two stances and
then held his own with the coal dig
ger mister for the next four innings.
Starting the seventh round, when
most of the crowd thought he was
beginning to weaken under the ag-
gressive tactics of his more rugged
opponent, Rodman evidently got his
second wind" and began beating
the miner to the punch. He carried
off honors in the seventh and eighth,
and in the ninth had Waggoner so
dazed that the Petersburg pug de-
livered a few low blows, evidently
through sheer inability to raise his
gloves. Referee Grammell stopped
the contest twice in this round on
account of the below-the-belt taps,
but allowed the scrap to continue
when Rodman said he was not in,

Crusader, Champion Three
Year-0Id Not Going
Abroad.
BY Jimmy Powers

NEW YORK, March 25.-Crusader
is coming back to the races. The
brilliant son of Man o. War, cham
pion 3-year-old of the 1926 season
and leading money winner of the
American turf last year, will furf1ll
all of his engagements in this coun-
try during the 1927 season.
He will start his campaign at the
spring meeting at Havre de Grace.
Crusaders owner, Samuel D. Rid
die, under whose colors Man O. War
also raced, planned after the run
ming Of the Pimlico Cup handicap
to retire Crusader to stud.
II have changed my plans and
wish to announce that contrary to
the reports I hear circulated that
Crusader will be shown on European
tracks and would never race. in
America again, my horse will be
running on home tracks this sum-
nier." said Mr.. Riddle.
My trainer, George Conway, re-
ports that Crusader is wintering well
at Glen Riddle Farms in Maryland.
He is being exercised every day and
is in excellent condition. His train
ing will continue for his first engage
nent at Havre de Grace" ~
Crusader had a remarkable record
in 1925.
He, scored victories in the Belmont
stakes the Riggs Memorial, the Gin
cinnati Derby, Dwyer Stakes, Havre
de Grace handicap, Jockey Club Gold
Cup and the Suburban handicap. He
scored nine victories in all.
His total earnings are $166,03S.
He was beaten in the Withers
when he ran second to Espino. He
was also beaten by Edith Cavell. His
last winning race was the running of
the Riggs Memorial handicap at
Pimlico Nov. l. In this race at a
mile and a half he won easily, beat
ing Mars.
Twelve days later he was asked to
pick up 126 pounds in the Pinlico
Cup handicap at two and half
miles and the weight told ON him.
Edith Cavell, whose sire was also
Man o. War, had the feather of SO
pounds in that event and Crusader
could do no better than carry the
black silk of the Glen Riddle Farm
to a second. \

SEWARD TRAFFIC OFFICER
 ALMOST MEETsDEA

Seward was treated to sequel after the very fine entertainment given at the local theatre last evening in the person of one of the efficient staff of the local teachers who seem deter mined to leave their mark on the city.
 The leading part was played by the driver of the car which attempted to carry off the solid traffic policeman at the corner of Jefferson and Fourth Avenues. But she was ably assisted by the members that were accompany ing her. The act was witnessed by a large part of the after-theatre crowd from which issued two young men, one from the Signal Corps and the other a survey officer, to the rescue of the stranded young ladies. No dam age was done or any injury sustained by any of the group and it will simply be remembered as an amusing incl dent
 The only explanation as yet brought forth is that the young ladies were still under the spell woven by the violin of the talented Wilma Bazant, and as such it can be considered quite a compliment to the accomplished art ist who furnished such a treat.
