Canzoneri's Father
To Cheer Sons Bout

CHICAGO, July 30.-P)C"Pa"
Canzoneri will lead a special cheer
ing section when his son Tony
tackles Sammy Mandell for the
lightweight championship at the
Chicago stadium Friday night.
The New York butcher and farm
er landed in his sons camp yester-
day and said Mayors Jimmy Walk
er and Arthur O'Keefe of New Or
leans and other notables would
help him cheer Tony.
IT have never missed seeing my
son fight an important engage
ment," the elder Canzoneri said.
He hooks to be in perfect shape
and If Mandell catches his right
once or twice he will lose his title"
Not in the four years he has been
fighting his way to the top in light
er divisions has chesty Tony looked
better. He trains long and hard
every day and Trainer Fink may
force him to all but curtail his &C
tivities three days before the 10
round battle.
y The challenger is getting his di-
version even though Manager SAM
my Goldman has l~rred the movies
and golf, on the grounds they will
not help his eye sight. Each night
he leads the Garden of Allah jazz
band for an hour and dances a few
sjigs.
i Mandell put a lot of action into
his workout yesterday. He boxed
four rounds. Two rounds Of rope
skipping and two T1ore of seeking

The folks who sometimes wonder
how amateur golf and tennis cam
paigns can be financed on so elab-
crate a scale as is done nowadays,
might focus an eye on the sports Of
yachting and polo.
1t has cost the United States lawn
tennis association close to $4,000 to
finance the international trips of
the Davis Cup and Wightman cup
teams over the past three years. 1t
takes something like $1,000 to send
a Walker cup golf team abroad.
Yet these items, substantial as
they seem in the name of simon
pure sport, shrink by comparison
with the sports of kings and mil
lionaireS.
1t will cost somewhere around
$250,000 altogether to finance the
whole campaign involved by Eng
lands challenge of the United
States for the historic International
polo cup, to be played at Meadow
Brook, in September, 1890.
It is costing a New York syndi-
cate of wealthy yachtsmen about
100000 to build a sloop for the de-
Tense Of the equally historic Amer
ica's cup against the challenge of
Sir Thomas Upton in the series of
races to be held off these shores,
also around September Of next year.
1t may be assumed that the Irish
baronet himself, will be taxed
something like the same amount to
finance his challenge.
Thus, two of the most colorful
events in sport, both to be put on
around the same time, will mean an
outlay of at least a million and a
quarter dollars.
There has been no contest for the
Americas Cup in ten years, or since
1920. because of the tremendous eX-
pense involved. Similarly. England
and America, to help spread out the
burden. have an agreement that
challenges for the polo u a be
filed only every three years.
Seldom, if ever before in Amer
lean polo history has this country
appeared better prepared with young
and brilliant talent with which to
meet the British challenge in 1880.
Any big four" that is made up
will, Of course. be built around the
r~edoubtable Tommy Hitchcock,
Americas only ten-goal player and
unquestionably the greatest Of them
all. Tommy himself is still under
80. although a veteran of interna-
tional play since 1921, but at least
three or four of the Younger crop

incidentally, 1t was only the second
game he ever started and finished.
Moss came up to Brooklyn from
Memphis in 1926 to pitch one in
ming for the Dodgers that season.
In 1927 he pitched part Of one game
and received credit for winning it.
Last year he appeared in % games,
one Of them complete, and wound
up with a record of no victories
and three defeats. During the cur
rent campaign he has worked in
many games, received credit for sew
eral victories, but never before sue
ceeded in pitching a complete game.
Chief interest in the National
league struggle centered in Chicago
where the Cubs trounced the Phil
lies, II to 10, and increased their
lead over Pittsburgh to three and a
half games.
The crippled Pirates lost another
game to the Boston Braves, 10 to g..
Rabbit Meanwhile showed no signs
of age, cracking out five hits in as
many times at bat.
The New York Giants crashed II
hits off the delivery of various
pitchers to swamp the st. Louis
Cardinals, IL to 2. Melott hit his
18th homer.
Action in the American league
was confined to the Chicago's 8 to 6
triumph owe Philadelphia, thereby
reducing the White Elephants lead
over the New York Yankees to nine
and one-half games.

The announcement came from
Los Angeles. when Jack Zellers,
scout for the Detroit Americans,
Joe Engle of the Washington Sen
ators, william ESsick of the New
York Yankees, Willis Butler of the
st. Louis Browns, and Kitty Brans-
field of the Boston Braves were in
that section looking for players,
winter training camp sites, and a
suitable place for a winter league.
The Detroit scout revealed plans
for the winter league, stating that
Phoenix, Nogales, Mesa and Tucson
in Arizona were being considered as
cities in the league.
The letter, sent by j. E. Bell, sec
d rotary of the San Benito chamber
of commerce, states in part:
1.-The Lower Rio Grande Valley,
with about the same climate as
: Miami, Florida, offers you an ideal
location for a winter league. With
in a radius of about IS miles of San
Benito are about 20 modern little
cities, ranging in population from
1000 to $4,000.
1.-THE people in this section come
from every state in the Union IN
quest Of an all year climate, a place
to play, and where small fortunes
are being made in the growing OF
citrus and other tropical fruits and
8 winter vegetables.
: 1.-THE total population of this sec
ton is about 100000 persons, a big
majority of whom are baseball fans.
u Our towns are all connected with
! concrete highways with an hourly
auto bus schedule. San Benito and
the other towns of similar and even
smaller size have excellent baseball
: parks. Our hotels are strictly mod
ern. We have over 300 sunshlny
DAYS each year. The average rain
fall is 26 inches per year, falling for
the most part from April until Sep
-tember.
Should you be further interested
! In forming a winter league in this
/ section, I will be glad to lend you
every cooperation and furnish you
with every additional information
/ desired. I am enclosing a small map
of the southern tip of Texas with
I printed literature that will give you
I an idea Of this section OF the coun-
try. I will be pleased to. hear from
you at your convenience"

COREY LEADING
HANDICAPPED
Has Lost Four Games Out
Of "a In Elks Cue
Tournament

M. W. Corey is now at the head
of the Elks' handicap billiard tour
nament with a mark of .853, having
played "a games while losing only
four. Corey is fifth in the straight
tournament.
The lead in the handicap event
has been changing hands with reg
ularity for some time. Leaders
following Corey are Richardson,
Mickle, Reid, Bell and Cobolini.
Reid was considered as having q
fair shot at the handicap title I'M
til recently when he lost a pair at
straight billiards. The grey-haired
veteran is now in fourth place n
the straight tournament.
The grouping of players in the
straight tournament seems to prove
that the handicap committee knew
what it was about. The three rank
ing playerS-thoSe who get no han
dicaps-are at the top of the
straight tournament. These are
Bell, Rowe and Fernandez. Bell, dis
has been the case throughout the
tournament, appears almost certain
winner. He has not dropped a
game yet and has played over 20
of the 25 scheduled.
Rowe also has a perfect mark,
but he has played comparatively
few games. In those that he has
played, however, he has shown abil-
ity that might carry him through
to a perfect string of victories. Fer
nandez, in second, has played 18.
dropping only two for a mark OF
1888.
Interest is centered on the Bell
Rowe contest and officials are
planning to stave this event off I'M
til the last.
