BERG No MATCH.
FOR CANZONER|

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE
shoes of Frank Erne, Ba1 Nelson,
Joe Cans, Ad Wolgast and Benny
Leonard are none too big today
for Tony Canzoneri, worthy cham
pion of the lightweight division.
The likable little Italian, holder
of the 135-pound and 40 pound
titles and former bantamWeight
champion, proved his right to
the purple robes last night when
he administered a sound beating
to Jack kid Berg, Britain's
best. It was the third and rub
ber" meeting between the two
rivals.
TOny'S Win Expected
Canzoneri had all the attributes
of a real champion-punching
power, boxing ability. Judgment of
pace and stamina. The British
buzzsaw, burned out by strenuous
campaigning, was outclassed from
every angle.
The champion was expected
to retain his titIe-he was the
favOrite at odds varying from
IL to 5 to 3 to but had been
figured to win via the knockout
route.
Berg, who throws an average Of
$50 punches a round, had been
conceded an excellent chance to
win the decision if he could es-
cape knockout.
The Briton's plan of pursuing
his usual boring-in tactics, how
ever, were altered in the very first
round when the champion almost
won by knockout.
Show Fails Financially
Financially the show was a blow
both to Canzoneri and to Madi-
son Square Garden, which pro-
NOTED it. Instead of 10000, as
anticipated, the attendance was
less than 10000. The receipts
were e1timated unofficially at $780,
900. The record low-price scale
$5.74 was tops-did not bring out
the fans as had been expected.
CanzOneri could have netted
$4,000 for his end if the bout
had been held in London as
originally scheduled. Instead,
he took 3719 per cent of the net
receipts last night, and lost
plenty by the switch.
Tony weighed only 1919 pounds.
Berg. obviously weakened by the
effort of taking off nearly six
pounds, tipped the scales at l34l2.
In the eighth Canzoneri was
guilty of a palpably low punch,
left hook below the belt, that
would have cost him his title
under the old rules. AS it was,
he lost the round.
