MANDELL MUST TAKE
OFF a MORE POUNDS
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 26.-Sammy Mandell,
who one week from tonight will battle
Tony Canzoneri to retain his world
lightweight championship, apparently
is unworried over the fact that he still
has nearly four pounds to work off to
reach the division limit of 1875 pounds.
Mandell fooled number of fans who
went to his camp at the Washington
Park Race Track yesterday by indulging
in day of inactivity. Reports that he
had been injured we're denied by the
champion. who said both he and his
trainer. Barney Furey, were satisfied
with his condition and he did not plan
to scale more than few ounces under
the limit.
Canzoneri, who will have no trouble
making the weight, continues to work
hard. Yesterday he boxed five rounds
after doing four miles on the road. To-
day he was to extend his boxing work.
out to seven rounds.
Ray Miller, Chicago left-hooker, and
Luis Vicentini, Chilean lightweight,
who will meet in the semi-f1nal bout,
were to arrive today to complete train
ing. Both have posted forfeits as chal-
lengers for bout with the winner of
the title fight.

The golfer who averages a los should

for he will find the new ball easier to
get into the air from brassie or long
iron shot, But in a high wind he also
will have his share of lamentation and
heartache.
One golfer who has been playing
