 The champion, carrying unneces- sary poundage, tired steadily as the bout progressed but continued to force the fighting to the final bell.

 It was most pleasant to notice the improvement in the Lee outfit from the free throw line. Eleven times they cut the cords for 22 points and eleven times they found the hoop from tfD penalty stripe, which is first rate scoring, you will agree The Brass City array hopped off quickly on a scoring spree. finishing with g ten point lead during the first eight minutes. It was 22 to g at the half and 27 to 13 at the third Only in the last period did the Bay State lads become effective. but their efforts were too late to match the margin which they had to overcome.

The forced to enter the ring over the stipulated lightweight limit. He was just a half-pound over. coming in at 135 1-2 pounds. Canzoneri weighed 133 1-2.
 The local lad outclassed the champion in every department and battered his way to a cleancut vic- tory mainly through blistering two-handed body attack and @ tam talizing left hand.
 We'll Planned Attack
 The Italians left hand spiked all efforts of the champion to land der spot on the champions face about the moment he would start a punch. Fuller's body attack seldom failed to make Canzoneri double over and give ground.
 Although there were no knock downs during the bout Canzoneri nearly flooded Fuller in the sixth uppercut had found it's mark. Fuller weathered the storm and came back hard enough to even the round, which was the best of the fight. Fuller won five rounds, Canzoneri two and three were even.
 The bout was slow at times and was marred by considerable holding of which both were equally guilty. Canzoneri's over-cautiousness out of respect for Fuller's right hand punch may have played part in the champions poor showing.

 UP AND DOWN
 The play of the team was spotty. At the start of the season, we piled up a winning streak that surprised me as much as anybody else. Then the club went into a slump. On the road. late in the season, the club came back again to threaten the leaders and fight all the way down the stretch.
 blame for a disastrous slump. All teams have them, it seems. To win, the right combination must be work ing. You don't find right combin- ations overnight.
 Several of our pitchers did not live up to expectations and the out 1ieid lacked something. The pitch ing department this year will come in for careful scrutiny in the train- ing camp at San Antonio. Chief Bender, one of the smart pitchers of the old Athletics, will take some of the youngsters in hand and teach them how to cut the corners. There will be IT pitchers in the squad and many of the newcomers are highly recommended by baseball men WHO have watched them carefully.
 Among these, Jim Mooney, lels- handler from the Sally League, had 1S5 strike-outs, record. last season. Bill Morrell, who came to us the latter part of the season from Shreveport, got into a game or two at the Polo Grounds and showed courage and promise. Young Berly from Rochester, the International League champions last year. won 16 and lost in that league during the 1930 season.
 Balaski and Turner, a couple of big right-handers from Bridgeport. have been schooled by Hans Lobert for a time. We still have Parmalee. Heving and Lucas. Parmalee re- ceived valuable instruction on the bench last year, and Heving pitched several relief games.
 From this group of pitchers may come one or two ready for active duty soner than expected.
 TO THE GARDEN
 Several baseball writers have an- nounced that Fred Lindstrom would play center field for the Giants next summer. I cannot confirm or deny that now, of course. Lindstrom will try the outfield for while. Yer gez. a new man from the coast; Eddie Marshall, and others will be tried at third. I am not definitely committed to the move, as yet, for have to see how good Vergez is at third. Mike Donlin has advised me that he has the goods.
 Lindstrom has good arm ana speed of foot, and as a kid around Chicago was an outfielder. He starts very fast for ball in the outfield. He Is ready to try for the job in center himself.
 As far as switching players is con- cerned, Melvin Ott came to the Giants as catcher and was changed into an outfielder; Bill Terry was a pitcher when he joined the team. and Ross Young was a third base man but became more valuable as an outfielder. It was while he was with the Giants, also, that Hank Gowdy was changed from first baseman 10 a catcher.
 We will do some experimenting at San Antonio in an effort to find a combination that can win 100 games. The pennant-winning Cardinals won 92 last year, while we were just five behind them. The success or fail- ure of the coming year depends largely upon better coordination and our pitchers.
