BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, June 20.-ErneSt
Riedel, international canoe cham
pion, nearly drowned in Central
Park Lake, Sunday, while 1000 per-
sons watched him aid laughed. A
score of the onlookers were in boats
within easy rescuing distance of
Riedel, but they, like watchers on
the bank, thought he was fooling.
Riedel's boat capsized during ?.
race between the Washington and
New York canoe clubs. Several can
oeists, most of whom are expert
swimmers, had overturned their
boats for sport in earlier races and
the crowd assumed Riedel had done
the same.
The champion, however. an in
different swimmer, was seized with
cramps when he was plunged into
the cold water. He foundered and
struggled for several minutes before
he made another contestant under
stand he was in difficulties. After
a short rest, he participated in other
races. Washington won all six Of

NEW YORK, June 20.-TeX Rick
ard today recited again his heavy
weight boxing program for the sum-
mer season and said he was going
to stick to it.
Dempsey and Sharkey in the
Yankee stadium around July 81 and
the winner against Tunney later in
the season for the championship"
summarized his plans.
Richard said he estimated the re-
cepts of a Dempsey-Sharkey fight
at $1,000,000. The gate for the
match between the winner and the
champion will be 100000, he pre-
dicted.
That's a lot of money to take
out of New York within a few
months with lot Of other things
going on" it was suggested.
Il didn't say they both we're go
ing to be in New York" Rickard
replied.
That was taken as a virtual con-
firmation of the report that the

That Explains Interest Here

Tuesday.

John Risko, Chief Metoquah and
Chuck Virgins have made more
money for the soldiers athletic fund
at Ft. Harrison than any other
boxers who have appeared said
Captain Clark, army matchmaker,
today, in discussing the two first
named, who are to appear in the
feature event Of Tuesday nights
fistic show.
1T seems the big, hard-punching
fellows finally have won the favor
Of the fight fans. A few years ago
a heavyweight battle was tolerated
on a fistic card as a sort of neces-
sary evil
Nov just the reverse is true.
While the small boys still retain a
certain degree of popularity, espe-
cially lads of the type of Sarmiento,
Limbaco, Forbes or Moran, who fight
all the time, yet for real interest
which registers heavy in the box
office, you will have to hand it to
the heavyweights and light heavy
weights.
"The little follows supply plenty
of excitement if we'll matched but
the fact the fans regard most OF
them as not being able to break
pane Of glass, takes a lot Of kick out
Of their performances"
Both Risko and Netoquah, who
feature Tuesday nights army show,
have proven themselves able to give
and take about everything in the
Queensbury code and their meeting
at Harrison is exciting the fans as
few fights have done in recent years.

Important Role

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, June 20.-Two left
hands may play an important part
in the bout for the bantam crown
here Thursday night when Tony
Canzoneri, New York Italian chal-
lenger, meets Bud Taylor, Terre
Haute titleholder.
Both champion and challenger
are artists with their left. Taylor
painted Canzoneris face q CORY red
in their first battle by raking his
left jab into the challenger's snout,
while Canzoneri backed Taylor into
the ropes with jolting left hooks on
several occasions.
Canzoneri's dazzling change OF
pace-his varied open and closed
stance, and his ever-present smile
made him an instant favorite with,
the crowd in his two Chicago show
ings. Taylor. who has long been a
local favorite, is not the boxer he
was two years ago, but he is being
backed by a large following here.

lied that a golf derby would become
an historical links event in future
years.
The first annual derby was held
Saturday and Sunday and it was
huge success.
Winners who crashed to fame as
the leading players Of the first
derby set up some records. Satur-
day play was more or less qualify
ing round, or medal play, for a sep
arate set of prizes.
Eddie thinner, three times a State
champion in the amateur ranks, and
a holder Of a 4 handicap, the lowest
at the Country Club, laced out some
of his characteristic drives and iron
shots Saturday that carried him
home with II, two under par.
Strong on Approach
His approach shots were deadly to
the pin, and he defaated Will
Diddel, 3 up and 2, in match play.
Diddel was second low gross with a
II.
In the net scores Caleb Lodge
was first with a 93-26-S7 net, while
w. ROLAND and Herman Deupree,
were tied for second with 70's.

Elephants enjoyed a fine banquet set

TEX CONFIDENT BIG BOUTS
WILL DRAW RICH RECEIPTS
Gotham Sure of Dempsey Sharkey Go, but Promoter Is
Undecided About Tunney Battle

Philadelphia. Rickard had his eyes
on Philadelphia or Chicago and
since the investigations" of boxing
in Illinois started, the shore of Lake
Michigan is not such a good spot.
Sharkey was reported to be a six
to five favorite in the early betting.
One bet of $4,000 to $4,000 that he
would win over Dempsey was said
to have been placed with more
money available 1T the same price.
The early odds are based upon
the showing that Sharkey made in
knocking out Jim Maloney. and on
the opinion that Dempsey never can
regain his old form.

last place.
In the afternoon opener Sunday,
Kansas City threw down a batting
barrage in the fourth. and breaks
combined with walks and base hits
put nine runs across, fourteen Blues
going to the plate in the lat round.
A smash by Hauser that took
l. Il Dntnn1fe u aV4I rtsor,f
for two bases put the Indians in bad
in that wild fourth inning. 1t was a
perfect double-play ball and would
have retired the side with no runs,
but Just as Bruno set himself to
snare the sphere 1t struck something
and hurdled him and carried on
to the outfield. After that the Blues
breezed around the sacks in rapid
order.
The Indians outhit the Blues. Is

Wild Matthews got four hits, one
for two bases. Grigsby poled four
bingles for the Blues. Voter of the
