1t wasn't SO many years ago that
Pete Herman quit bootblacklng in
New Orleans because he realized
that he was on his way to the
featherweight championship and,
under the circumstances, he just
couldn't give his best efforts to the
profession of his youth.
Today, Herman is a ring tragedy,
a blind man virtually, but his pur-
pie robe Of royalty Is draped about
the shoulders of Tony Canzoneri,
and thus the second generation OF
a ring lineage has been established.
Tony, like Herman, has the
hot blood. of Italy I'm his veins.
He, too, is an ex.bOOtbIack and
the parallel Is complete with
the statement that he came
from the stalls Of New Orleans.
Canzoneri il the new feather
weight champion today because he
ran UP such a lead on points over
Benny Bass, the Philadelphia con-
tender, in the first 10 rounds that il
hardly was necessary to fight the
other five. The only man in the
house who didn't think so was Bass
and he closed with such a rush that
he all but caught the distressed Can
zoperi at the wire, the latter just
lasting to get a deserved decision
Thus, did the New York commits
sion score over the National Boxing
Association, the latter having nomi-
mated Bass as its champion, while
New York declared for Tony. The
N. B. Al. also finished second, with
Jimmy SIattery in his more or less
recent light heavyweight title fight
with Tommy Loughran, the New
York candidate. Tony il the first
legitimate .featherweight champion
since Kid KapIan resigned Is
months ago.
Bass blew his own fight last night.
He folded up like q tobacco pouch
for six rounds after Tony dropped
him for a count of eight in the third
round, and. while the Philadelph
was doing his buck and wing, Can
zoneri so completely took the play
away from him that he never quite
got ii back.
1T was claimed in Bass dressing
room after the fight that the PniIa'
deIphian had broken his collarbone
on the right side in one Of the early
rounds. This. IL ~true, didn't pre-
vent him from almost discontinuing
Tony with a series Of right hand
punches late in the fight.
