TAYLOR SURE HE'LL
HAND CANZONERI X. O.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. June 23.--Bud Taylor. a
ring headliner for eight years. and
Tony Canzoneri, almost unknown a
wear ago. meet again tonight in a 10
round battle for the bantamweight
crown at Wrigley Field in Chicago's
first major outdoor boxing show I'M
der flood lights.
They failed to establish clear
claim on the title and the jcweled belt
hung up by Promoter Jim Mullen
when they fought last March TO a
draw. but each is strongly confident
of victory this time.
Taylor. the pride of Terre Haute,
has predicted knockout in five
rounds, and he repeated that asser-
ton today.
II was a little nervous in my pre-
vious match with Taylor" said Tony,
New York's nominee for the title. 1T
was my first championship match, but
the finish will be different this time"
Both boys were in splendid condi-
ton today, facing without worry the
formality OF weighing in at lis
pounds at 3 o'clock in the offices of
the Illinois Athletic Commission.
In their last meeting Canzoneri had
the edge in long-range shots, while
Taylor was best in the infighting To
nights contest, judging from the
training sessions of the two bantams,
will be a battle of left jabs.
The advance seat sale. Mullen an
nounced. has passed $35, 900. which is
expected to be doubled by the time the
bell calls the first preliminary at SIS
pm, daylight saving time.
Following the usual custom of I'LL
nois matches. the boxing commission
will not announce the referees until
the contestants climb through the
ropes.
In the semi-wind-up Abe Attell
Goldstein. former bantam champion,
will give the test to lgnacio Fernan-
deZ. who is said to be the best of the
many Filipino boxers who have come
to this country. Fernandez asked to
meet a top-notcher in his American
debut. They will go 10 rounds at the
bantam limit 11S pounds.
Ernie Peters, little Indian flyweight,
and Tommy Milton of New York top
the three preliminary siXrounders.

Dempsey would win back by downing
both Sharkey and Tunney.
After signing agreements as soon as
Tex Richard can place the papers be-
fore him, Dempsey wants to leave at
once to train for Sharkey, probably
at Saratoga Springs, n. Y.
Due to Sign Today.
Richard invited Dempsey and Shar-
key to appear at his office at the same
time today for the signing.
Dempsey is bronzed and healthy,
carefree and confident, weighing just
over 200, with the slightest bit of over
fullness in his cheeks.
HE looks great to me-" exclaimed
Richard on Dempsey's arrival yester-
day "Snappy, light on his feet, clear
eyes! And he carries himself as he
did when he was a kid in this bust.
ness"
An hour after his arrival by motor
from Wilmington, Del, where the
family of his wife, the former Estelle
Taylor lives, Dempsey and Richard
were agreed on terms for the three
fights the eX-champion hopes to sur
vive.
instead of splitting even with Shar.
key, Dempsey is to receive 80 per
cent and the ex-tar 90 per cent of the
gross receipts for their stadium bout.

NEW YORK, Dec 1O@The ALI
American football team of the AS
Eociated Press for 1927 will never win
a game, but only because it will not
have a chance to play.
From end to end and in the back
field the team is made up of stars
as an all-star team should be.
Averaging 185 pounds, the II play
ers9 stand on an average of one inch
under six feet or Ii inches over five
feet. The line scales 100 pounds to
the man, while the backfield weighs
in at an average Of IT'S.
The team has everything in a foot
ball way. Speed in abundance is
supported by plenty of Drawn, and
that there is no lack of brain is wit
messed by the fact that 10 of the
IL choices were captains of their
teams this season, while the eleventh
is captain-elect.
The 1927 galaxy of stars is especial
ly well equipped to play a passing
game. All the backs Spears, Drury
Welch and JoeSting- can throw and
catch passes. Oosterbaan and Shiver,
the ends, also specialize at both ends
of the overhead attack Bettencourt,
the center, Is just as good passing
from five yards back of the line
as he is in the center of it.
Billy Spears can punt and drop
kick and he could get toe up from
"Chick" Shiver if needed "Bud"
Sprague is also man of parts and
can kick off with any of the free
hooters.
The 1927 constellation represents
an array of versatile athletic talent.
In addition to the best football play
ers to be found, there are a number
who double in brass by playing base
ball and basketball or attacking rec
ords of field and track.
The IL players come from nine
states, Connecticut and California be-
ing twice represented. Connecticut |

DIXIE IS GIVEN TWO PLACES
ASGAME In SECTION BOOMS;;
WEST GETS FIVE, EAST FOUR

This prominence of the south, as
4 well as the broad spaces of the south
west, has added to one of the merriest
7 whirlS of all-American selection, in
creasing the difficulty of picking any
] eleven men from host of closely
matched and "ballyhooed" talent in
every section.
| Sprague and JOesting Of '26
Eleven Survive
The two survivors of the 1926 Asso-
ciated Press all-Star team, Captain
1 elect Mortimer Sprague of the Army
at tackle and Captain Herb Joesting
of Minnesota at fullback, retain their
places while Bennie OoSterbaan, the
Michigan captain and end, returns to
the wing job he held down on the
1925 mythical array
Joesting was decisive choice among
experts for the fullback berth again,
although he did not quite measure up
to his 1926 brilliance, but the battle of
ballots was hot and heavy insofar as
the rest of the backfield was con-
cerned.
Morley Drury, Southern California
captain and ball-carrying ace, was as
close to being a unanimous selection
as any star, but he is Shifted to half
back, his natural position, from quar-
terback, in order to make room on the
first team for Bill Spears, Vanderbilt's
triple threat and one of the greatest
backs the. south has ever produced.
Gibby WEIGH, hard-running Pittsburgh
ace, gains the other haIfback position
Many critics found it difficult to
omit from the first teams such stars
as Al MarSters, Dartmouth sophomore,
who passed, kicked and ran to fame;
Glenn Presnell, NebraSka's battering-
ram; Kee1ler eagle, fleet Army back;
Flanagan, Of Notre Dame; Gilbert, OF
Michigan, and Carroll, of Washing
ton. In the southwest two of the
years greatest quarterbacks, Joel Hunt
of Texas Aggies and Gerald Mann of
Southern Methodist, were the keenest +!
OF rivals. To most unbiased observers, /
Hunt earned the palm and is placed
on the second all-American team, as a
result, but there was little to choose
between them.
