BUD TAYL0R'S
SUPREMACY IS
NOW RESTORED
Judges and Referee Give Him
Unanimous Decision Over
Tony CanzOneri

Chicago, June 25.-LR)-Bud Tay-
lor's supremacy among the bantam
weights was completely restored to-
day, with his vigorous repulse of the
most desperate challenge he has met
since the west crowned him the 49,
pound champion.
Tony Canzoneri, New York's con-
tender for the bantam title, fell vic
tim to Taylor's gloves in their 10
round battle last night, the judges
and Referee Joe Choynski giving
Taylor a unanimous decision.
Thrilling Action
The two lads furnished the most
thrilling action Chicago fight fans
have seen since the sport was legal
lied year ago. Profiting by the
lessons of their battle last March,
Taylor rushed the little New Yorker
almost constantly. Nearly every
round offered wild swinging melee
in the center of the ring in which
Canzoneri generally got the worst
of it.
In the very first round Taylor
drove Tony about the ring as though
trying for an immediate knockout
anu NduAOnCIl uCScI OScICdUlG THAT
lead. Tony caught one flush on the
mouth which kept him bleeding
thereafter. In the seventh Tony re-
torted with jabs to Taylor's left eye
which gradually closed the optic by
the end of the fight.
Crowd Approves Verdict
That was about all the real dam
age done, but each Of the boxers took
punches which shook them visibly.
The verdict met with unanimous APP
proval of the crowd of nearly 10000,
the largest that has been drawn to a
boxing program here since the boxing
law becomes effective.
The highly touted Ignacio Feran-
dez, latest Filipino bantam importa-
ton, lived up to his reputation by
out Abe Attell Goldstein,
former bantam king, in the seventh
round. Goldstein seemed unable to
dodge the solid right crosses which
Fernandez landed repeatedly on his
jaw.
