The sputter of village square
arc lights on concert night
in Mount Ida, Ark, means
more to Lonnie Warneke than the
big leagues calcium glare.
So the 23-year-old angular Ar
kansan, who has become in one sea-
con the National League pitching
sensation, expects to beat it" ba ck

Town Band as soon as he can get
his world series chores done.

as a typical Arkansan whether
you'd ever been to Arkansas or not)
is this Warneke.
Far more willing to talk about his
prowess with a rife than of his
cannonading Of base balls past
enemy batters, Lonnie admits his
greatest love is of hunting. He is
as proud of his four fine bird dogs
as of any big league pitching feat.
And the ordinarily laconic Lon be-

are so modest that he is able to send
his pay checks home to Mount Ida,
thus removing any temptation he
might feel to do some big city
spending in keeping with his new
and glorified position.
Only three years ago his position
was much less glorified. In fact
his status, even in the class D Cot
ton States League, was SO uncertain
that two teams-Alexandria, La.
and Laurel, MiSS-shuttled him back
and forth several times before Scout
Patsy F1aherty spotted him for the
Cubs.
The National League club paid
Shreveport of the Texas League,
parent of the other clubs, $4,000
for Lon and he reported to the Cata-
lima Island camp in the Spring of
1880. He was forthwith shipped to
Reading, Pa, in the International
League, and did well enough there to
warrant a recall to the Cubs that

However, success was by no means
instantaneous. Dropped into a
tough spot early in 1881 with the
bases full, Lon proved decidedly un-
equal to the occasion. With conf

season with two wins and four
losses, being given few starting
chances.

QUEER J|NX TRAILS
LIGHTWEIGHT KING
Instead of Dodging Strong
Foes, Canzoneri Is Kept
Idle by Breaks.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

n YEW YORK, September 27-
nj Tony Canzoneri wonders what
Y the fistic gods have against
him. The lightweight cham
pion has been a genuine champion in
every respect since he took the bauble
from Al Singer late in 1880. but he
seems to have much more than his
share of hard luck.
Most champions have their troubles
in trying to get away from dangerous
challengers. Tony's difficulty has been
to get them into the ring with him.
Three titular bouts have been called
off on him since he and Kid Chocolate
packed the Garden last November.
Ray Miller was to have boxed Can
zoneri fer the title in Detroit. The
Detroit promoter had pledged Can
zoneri guaranty Of s42, 500. Obvi-
ously he was overly enthusiastic. and
the match fell through when it became
evident to the promoter that he had
bitten off more than he could chew,
or even get into his mouth.
Canzoneri and Chocolate were paired
for a return match in the Garden.
That went by the boards because of
Chocolates matrimonial difficulties in
Havana, which brought about his de-
portation from this country.
Worst Of all from Tony's point of
view. was the accident which prevented
his match with Billy Petrolle in the
Garden Bowl this Summer. That fight
stood out as the premier attraction of
the year, except for a heavyweight
championship brawl The bout was
postponed because of a Clipped bone
in Petrolles left elbow.
Unable to get any action for the
title, Canzoneri sought and received
permission to box Lew Kirsch of the
East Side in an overweight brawl at
the Greensboro Stadium. Their fight
was postponed. 1t is due to be de-
cided tonight.
