TONY CANZ0NERI
 CAPTURES TITLE
Quick Knockout Over Singer
 Makes New Lightweight Champ

New York, Nov t5 lP}-Two years ago they said he was through. but Tony Canzoneri, the little Italian Hho began his boxing career as q bootblack on the streets of New Or leans, is the lightweight champion today.
 In less time than it takes to tell it, Tony, who two years ago lost his featherweight title 10 Andre Routis and year later was badly whipped by Jackie Xii Berg, foored Al Sing CT with two left hooks to the jaw for the count and won the light weight title q Madison Square Garden last night The time was one minute six seconds.
 When Canzoneri's hand was raised in token of victory it was the thlrd time the lightweight title had changed hands in less than a round. More than -5 years ago Joe Cans, the immortal. knocked out Frankie IIrne at Fort Erie. \. Y. in 54 sec onds and last summer Singer low cred Sammy Mandel, then champion, in little more than tRvo minutes.
 It may have been that Singer was a little too ambitious when he step ped out to meet Jimmy McLarnin shortly after winning his title and was fattened in three rounds. Again it may have been Canzoneri had not gone back as much as the followers of the game thought. But whatever was the reason. the Italian was cas- ily the master of the Jewish cham pion. who held the title less than five months.
 With the exception of the two blows that spelled the end of the Singer reign there was not much 10 the fight. They advanced 10 the cen- ter of the squared canvas. Singer ap- parcntly confident. Tony smiling. For one minute they bobbed and WoaV- nd and not 2 blow was struck. Then Canzoneri came out Of the clinch. stepped back and let loose with a terrific left hook Singer staggered but recovered and dodged the next of tho same kind, but the third hook hc could not escape and went down face flat on the mat.
 At the count of seven he rose 10 ono knee but as the timekeeper tollpd off the remaining seconds. fell again. tried to get up and staggered through the ropes. defeated,

V0LLEY BALL IS
 STARTED AT "
Bucks and CadillaCS Are Re- turned Winners in First Games

Flat tires and lack of good gas were responsible for the defeat of the Fords at the hands Of the Buick volley ball team. The Cadi- laos hit on all eight cylinders to crush the Austins in the final game
 The opening of the Business Mems volley ball league last night found both matches closely con- tested, the first match going into a fl all tie before the Bucks came through with the necessary point to win the match.
 The Ausins in the second match were trailing 4 10 2 in favor of the Cadlllacs and it looked like a run away match, but lodging in and out where the Cadillacs found the going hard the Midgets managed 10 squeeze in enough points to tic at nine all. They were unable to con- tinue the pace and lost at 13 to 15 in favor of the Cadillacs.
 The star players Of the Buick team found Wild" Bill Woitovitz dazzling Brooks of the Ford team with his elbow service. Mark Allen and D. Story were very much in the battle to win for the Bucks. Eddie" Burke Of the Fords was experiencing some difficulty in keeping up the morale of his team as Bigelow Nelie and Brooks con- sidered themselves the principal ball spikers on the team.
 The second game was somewhat delayed py the alleged ineligibility of Kloiber and F. Allen who were jointly accused hy unknown parties of having played professional voliey ball with the House of David team out west.

Tony Canzoncri's quick knockout Of Al Singer in New York last night thereby becoming the lightweight champion of the world, lends more power 10 the argument. we believe that Louis C<id) kapan of this state. former featherweight cham pion of the world, could take any of the present crop of lightweights and put them under If kaplan could only get one shot at the light weight crown, we believe that Con- necticut would boast of another champion.
 Should kaplan at any time, get into the shape that he was in the night he fought Battalino, present eatherweight champ, in Hartford, we don't believe that there is q lightweight in the ring today that could beat him.
 That particular night kaplan had everything. He had strength and speed. He had punching power and he felt the best he had felt in long while Should he get chance at the lightweight crown, he would get into the same condition and woe to the man who should be opposite him when the battle com menCed.
New Britain herald., 1930-11-15

Of course, should kaplan go out and get licked nine or 10 times and appear to be on the road back to oblivion, then all the lghtweights in the game would be hopping after him looking for battle. As it is, none Of them wants piece of him. Flight Kid kaplan-Not on your life. he's too tough"
New Britain herald., 1930-11-15

However. we would like to hand Out piece Of our mind to the powers that be in the fight game and in this case the shoe is on the other foot. We say, give Kaplan a chance at these powder puff light weights and the lightweight title will come to Connecticut.
New Britain herald., 1930-11-15

Mandell tucked kaplan. Singer wouldn't fight him and the rumor has it that they tried 10 fix Louis to take 6 dive to the champion with the result that, as usual, kaplan re- fused 10 enter into any dirty busi- ness And we feel safe in saying that Canzoneri and kaplan will never meet in the ring.
