sharkey Big Question

A lot of the boxing experts
are a little shy about their
predictions on the approach
ing fight, having been pretty
we'll burned up on the Schme-
ling-Baer go. This has started
out to be an upset boxing
year wherein the so-called
clumsy novices are getting their
breaks.
We should say that the out
come devolves upon whether
Sharkey has one of his few
good nights or another of those
indifferent nights for which he
is famous.
Some there are who say a
hungry man fights better than
one who has been sitting in the
lap of luxury and on that
theory Carnera has a good
chance. Primo hasn't exactly
been hungry here of late, but
he did go into bankruptcy to
the tune of about 100000 and
his goal is still ahead.
On the other hand, Sharkey's
fortune is made and well in
vested. He must be tired Of
the racket. He has tasted the
glory Of the title and it is
freely predicted that if he cuts
down both Camera and Baer
this year, he will hang up his
gloves for lack of competition.

Return Go BetUeen
CUnzOneri-ROSS Is
Probable Outcome

CHICAGO, June 24.-There is
prospect for a return match
between Ross and Tony Canzoneri
here in August or September as
Samuel Goodman, the CanZoneri
manager, and Samuel Plan, the
new champions pilot, have ten
tatively agreed to the bout. Ross
was declared winner in their To-
round bout in the Chicago Sta
dium before $4,000 fans last
night.
There were murmurs of dis
pleasure from not few of those
who got no closer to the scuffle
than the six-dollar chairs and
even among the elite at the ring
side the decision was challenged
with intermingled jeers and gibes.
Referee Tommy Gilmore sagely
called it a draw, but Judges E. A.
Hense and w. A. Battye gave it
to Ross.
Ross demonstrated his ability
to absorb Canzoneri's right hand
Smashes. In the fifth he came
out with his left eye oozing GRIM
son and in the sixth he sailed
forth with both eyes popping
blood. Canzoneri suffered two
cuts on the cheek.
It was not until the tenth, that
Barney got the better Of the
brawling tactics and the waning
titleholder hung on in despera-
tion.

FAIRLY SAYS
WINNER

CHICAGO. June 24.-Tony Can
zoneri wasn't at all pleased today
with the decision which switched
the lightweight championship
crown from his brow to that OF
Barney Ross last night. Express
ing his disapproval, Canzoneri
said:
"The decision was the sur.
prise Of my career, and I have

thought / was so far ahead Of
Ross that / cOasted slightly in
the eighth and ninth rounds
and didn't extend myself in the
tenth"

pion'S manager said:
"The decision was an out
rage. 1 knew it would be sour
when the judges heSitated sew

their decision"
But Ross. the new champion
had this to say:

Five contests are scheduled
with the Indians all told and
following these will be four i'm
portant games with the Detroit
Tigers at Detroit, the scene then
shifting to New York where Nc
Carthy's Yanks will be met in
q crucial double header on July 4.
Real Test Tomorrow
Beginning tomorrow the real
test for the team begins. The
Indians are likely to give Cronin
and his men plenty of trouble
before the series is an item Of
the past while the same can go
for the Detroit Tigers, who like
the Indians, are playing pretty
good ball at this stage of the
campaign.
Manager Cronin announced to-
day that he planned to give Jack
Russell his first starting chance
Of this Western trip in one of
the games with the Indians in
tomorroW's double-header. He
had originally planned to send
the young right handler against
the White SoX in the series which
ends today, but was forced to
make a change due to Russell's
appearances the past two after
moons as relief hurler for Gen.
Alvin CroWder, Thursday, and
AlphOnZ C"TOmmV'D Thomas YES
terday. Bill McAfee was down"
to pitch todays final against the
Sox by virtue of the altera-
tions in plans.
Cronin has confidence in his
team.
CRONIN SPEAKS
"The boys are playing great
ball" he said today, land see
no reason why they shouldn't
keep it up, even against the
Yankees in those two important
contests at New York on July
A. The pitchers are holding
up fine now. our hitting is the
talk of the league and our field
ing is as good as it ever was.
So why shouldn't we go right
alOng?"
The Griffs' victory yesterday
marked the eleventh scored in
the last 13 games played. This
streak was started at Boston on
June 8, and 10, when three out
of four were taken from the SoX,
it has followed right down the
line to the present time which
has seen Cronin and his boys
take two straight from the Phila,
delphia AS at Washington, three
out of four from the st. Louis
Browns at St. Louis. and three
straight from the Chicago White
Sox the past three days.

VIRGINIA GETS FIRST TASTE OF LEGAL BREW LABOR DAY
$4,000 Fraud
Laid to Woman
in Vet Case

Although there is no record in
the Veterans Bureau that Wilthia
Buford, Pittsburgh colored d
woman, had a husband in the
World War, she received $10,-
900 from the bureau as insurance
on her husband folulowing his
death. The woman is now being
held for action by the Pittsburgh
court.
She said her husband, William
Buford, was killed in an auto
mobile accident about three years
ago and that her friends told her
he had been a soldier and that,
therefore, she was entitled to in
surance from the Veterans Bu-
reau. Wilthia hired an attorney.
Later she received $4,000.
A bureau investigator has since
found that the William Erskine

ance was paid is a white man
who is still living and never heard

A complete sanitary survey Of

The application for the loan Of
$2,250,000 which the county must
m Ike to Federal recovery officials
in order to secure the loan must
be accompanied by the sanitary
engineers report.
Then, if recovery officials in
dicate they will make the loan,
the county commissioners must
apply to Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy, of Circuit Court, and ask
a special election so that voters
may decide if they wish the loan
granted.
The necessary publication and
other phases of law surrounding
the special election will all take
time. If voters approve at the
election the work can be started
shortly thereafter.
