Kennedy could have met Johnny

Galento at Newark, N. j.
But Les is so anxious to stop
the rapid rising young red head
that he didn't even consider for
moment any of the attractive
offers.
Tuesdays semifinal between
Ray Bowen and Buster Brown has
the customers agog plenty. Both
are great punchers and busy

still one of the greatest club fight

CANzONER| SHINES
IN HEAVIER CLASS
Light Champion Knocks Out
Townsend in First Round
of WeIter Debut.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, February 4.-Tony
Canzoneri was in full cry after
the leaders Of the welterweight
pack today.
The doughty little champion Of the
lightweights, lacking opposition in his
own division, made his debut as q
welterweight contender in Madison
Square Garden last night and knocked
out Billy Townsend Of Vancouver in
barely minute of fighting in the first
round of a 10-round match.
The crowd of 10000 persons barely
had settled back into their seats after
the introductions when Canzoneri stab
bed Townsend across the ring with his
fast left and then unloosed a volley OF
right-hand punches. The last, landing
high up on the temple. sent the VAN
couver youngster to the canvas and he
stayed there as Referee Patsy Haley
counted TO- The finish came in minute
and S seconds. Townsend failed to land
single blow.
4 THOUGH the sudden ending Of
IA the match brought a loud chorus
of boos from the spectators, ring
side critics, including State Commis-
sioner John j. Phelan, were convinced
that the Canadian was the legitimate
victim of three hard right-hand punches.
1T was perfectly all right" Phelan
said. TONY was just too heavy hitter
for Townsend
Newspaper experts concurred. They
were virtually agreed that the three
punches Canzoneri fired as Townsend
was going down might well have toppled
any welterweight in the ring.
Tony, who handed the rugged Billy
Petrolle bad beating in his last light
weight title defense, conceded 8A
pounds to Townsend. He scaled only
1929 pounds, as compared with Town
sends al.
In view of his decisive triumph over
the Canadian, CanZoneri probably will
be matched soon with Jimmy McLarnin,
another and more formidable Vancouver
glove -wielder. If he can get past Nc
Larnin, Tony hopes to get match for
the 147-pound title with Champion Jack
Fields.

n YEw YORK, February 4.-Babe
nj Ruth bore up exceedingly well

why should squak?" he demanded
when the subject of all-star selections

me? I put Chuck Klein In right field
because he belongs there. I don't see

much OF him but the averages show
he keeps pretty busy with the Phillies." !"
MEANWHILE Ruth sees no occasion
him change his nominations for
an all-star lineup, based upon per-
formances over the last 80 years, two
thirds of which has been under the
Babes earnest scrutiny.
Here are the selections, on which he
stands pat:
First base-Hal Chase
Second base-Larry Lajoie.
Short stop-Hans Wagner.
Third base-Jimmy Collins.
Left field-Joe jackson.
Center field-Ty Cobb.
Right field-Harry Hooper.
Catcher-Ray Schalk.
Pitchers -Christy Mathewson. Eddie
Plank, Herb Pennock.
The Babe was heckling truck drivers
in Baltimore, as . street urchin, when
Jimmy Collins was the king Of the
third basemen, but evidently he heard
quite q bit about Collins after landing
with the Red Sox. Mathewson, Lajoie
and Wagner were others, Ruth admits,
he names on the basis Of information
received and contents noted. He doesn't
feel he Is running any risk in naming
them.
THE Babe considers Jackson the
i greatest natural" hitter Of all
time. II there was any exponent
of the slugg1ng art Ruth used as q
pattern at the plate, it was "Shoeless
Joe" He thinks another Inflated men,
Der Of the "Black Sox," Hap Felsch,
as well as Iris Speaker, outshone Cobb
as defensive outflelders, but comedies
the center field spot to the Georgian
on the strength Of Ty's all around
prowess. Hooper was team-n1ate Of
the Babes on the old Red Sox.
An ex-southpaw pitcher himself and
q good one, Ruth naturally leans to-
ward the lefties in naming his twirl-
ing staff. He prefers Plank and Pen
mock to Grove or Waddel because Of
their superior control.
They were two Of the smartest
pitchers ever saw" says Ruth. For
tight game and reliability in a pinch,
give me Pennock. He still has enough
stuff to stop the best Of EN-"
