been signed with the kingdom of

II told Secretary Hull that we

bers, a good young fighter on the
way up, and Tony Canzoneri, d
brilliant veteran on the way down,
meet for Is rounds in Madison
Square garden tonight, the winner
to be recognized as worlds light
weight champion.
The fight is the first of the big
four" scheduled for the early sum-
mer. 1t was near sellout today.
Garden officials expect a capacity
throng of 10000 and a gate of $780,
600.
They're fighting for general re-
cognition as champion of the 1885,
pound division. Both the New York
State athletic commission and the
National Boxing association have
sal dthat they would list hte Win
ner as successor to Barney Ross of
Chicago. Ross recently abdicated
his crown to devote his energies to-
ward regaining the welterweight
title.
Only in Illinois will the title still
be considered vacant. The Illinois
commission has designated Davey
Day, stablemate of Ross, as out
standing challenger, and the Am
berS- -Canzoneri winner must meet
Day before all 48 states agree on
135-pound champ.
Betting today was Z to 5, for
Ambers, which seems about right.
This youngster of 40 contests and
Al decisions has never been stop
ped. He has a punch in either hand
and is almost as fast as was Tony
in his prime.
Canzoneri, however, will be
heavy sentimental favorite. He's al
ways been popular with the casual
fan as we'll as with the workman
in the press peWs. But Tony, al
though only 26, has been around
for fully 10 years and has had his
hands taped for no fewer than l26
starts. He's just a decimal point OF
a second slower than he was a few
years back but that's a lot, and
besides, those nimble but stocky
legs tire more easily of late. Best
rumor of the day was that Can
zoneri has trained for four round
fight on the assumption that if ne
can't put Lou away in that time, he
can't win at all.

Kudo, Japanese jiu jitsu star, Mi
chele CMike) Romano, claimant of
the italian championship and Dodo
Ski, Negro iu-jitsuist, will be the
features in connection with the
wrestling show at the City Limits
arena tonight.
Both LaDoux and Vincent Lopez,
whom he meets, are former boxers.
and do not hesitate to mix box
ing and wrestling and try any of
the rough-house tactics provided it
enhances their chances of win
ming. If Lopez initiates his strong
arm attacks, as he usually does
he will find himself well-matched
tonight, there being no question
about the fact that LaDoux likes
nothing better than to throw all
thoughts Of wrestling overheard
and slug, bite or kick his oppon-
.ent into submission. With both of
the same mind on that score, their
about promises much excitement.
The story is different, however,
with the other of the two main
bouts scheduled. Ted Christy is the
villain, SZabo the hero and ladies'
choice, but physically well-equipped
to dispute the young Californian's
sprowess.

HINT At HOAX
IN SHOOTING
Of CHAMP ION

ASBURY PARK, N. j., May 10.
U.P)-ProSecutor Raymond T. Bag
ley will receive official report to-
day on the shot that was heard
around the world-the shot that
allegedly scorched Make Baer's
bronze bosom.
This report from Charlie Tate,
chief investigator, is expected 10
reveal whether yesterdays shoot
ing Of our heavyweight champion
was an accident or a hoax.
No one has accused madcap Make
Of perpetrating hoax upon his
public and press-as yet. But sew
eral sage observers have remarked
that when Joe Doakes is shot in
the chest with a blank cartridge,
it's too bad, whereas, when a hea-
vyweight king is shot. it's good
publicity.
This is particularly true when
the champ is preparing to defend
his title against a comparatively
mediocre pugilist, James J. Brad
dock on June 13.
And what if it were all a hoax,
Prosecutor Bailey?
Wen cross that bridge when We
come to it." he replied. His tone
was menacing.
Meanwhile, our champion, sport
ing some sticking plaster and gauzt
on the portside of his chest. fig
ured on continuing his training TO-
day. He wore his hospital decora-
tions like Croix de Guerre, and
insisted it concealed a powder blis-
ter "bigger'n a half dollar"
Propped up on pillows in bed at
the Mrs. Ernest Levy mansion, his
training quarters. he announced
that he would do ur-and-a-half
miles of roadwork today.
But ne thought his scorching
would delay starting boxing four
or five days.
"At the Hazard hospital they
gave me shot in the arm with
some dope to keep me from get
ting lockjaw," he explained. Then
he beloved, Imagine Make Baer
with lockjaw."
