CANZONERI GETS.
 CLOSE NOD FROM REFEREE DEMPS SEY

Washington, June 11-(UP)- (UP)-Three times opportunity has knocked at Frankie Kicks door but, though he tried valiantly. the plucky midget mauler couldn't get it open.
 His heart breaking efforts brought 10000 fans to their feet cheering at Griffith stadium last night as he finished 12 rounds with Tony Canzoneri in a hail of flying Asts. He was their hero.
 The cheers increased to cres- eendo as the announcer read Judge Frank Schuyler's vote for the pride ef San Francisco. A boan followed Judge Bob Eller's vote for the for mer New Orleans bootblack.
 Unpopular
 But when Referee Jack Demp- wey's deciding vote in favor of cenzoneri was read the crowd hissed and booed it's displeasure for 10 minutes. The william" had damned shut the portals through which Klielk had hoped to enter 11stiania's hall of greatness.
 Twice before Klick sought to kaxter down Canzoneri's defense. Xnach lime he failed. Once he be- lisved he had won and the crowd had booed the decision against him.
 Neither Canzoneri, lightweight 1eaampion, nor Klick, junior light weight title holder, risked his erown. Klick weighed 137, two sounds over the lightweight limit. Ganzoner1 scaled 134.

 New York, June 11.-(UP)-It's a good thing for your pocketbook and my little double-snap change purse (which Aunt Emma brought me from the Tuscaloosa county fair) that James Braddock has broken camp and his press agents are back in New York publicizing odd items such as snapless garters, walkathons and cocktail biscuits. For if the press agents had stay ed in Loch Sheldrake one more week, and their ballyhoo equip ment had lasted, they would have convinced all of us that James J. is going to whip Max Adelbert Baer when they climb in the bat tie pit at eventide Thursday. The press agents started slowly in put ting the old steameroo on Mir. cautiously. It was full three days after Braddock started training be- fire the publicists broke down and admitted that he was Frank enstein with free-wheeling, knee action and four speeds forward.
 What Picture!
 And it was a good fortnight be- | fore the boys-urged by Madison Square Garden to really turn on | the heat-sat down before their mimeographs and started a black and white portrait of Zraddock as a combination of Attilla the Hun with a hangover, Genghis Khan unable to get opera seats from Ott, a sabre-toothed tiger, sabre toothed tiger who could beat the sabre-toothed tiger just mention ed, and three red-headed women scorned.
 If Braddock hadn't ended train ing when he did the press agents would have made us forget that Braddock is just an overgrown light-heavyweight who feels his years, and who has been knocked bow-legged by half the followers of le boxe in this country. He's heavier than when he was getting rudely upset by fighters with names like Mexican dishes and ports where ships make but one call a year. But the extra weight is plain suet, and most of 1t is lo- SoSS0 thC NOT OGlly IO you nice Nellies). The extra weight makes him slower, and he never was fast. I weigh more than I did when I was a stripling of Is Gin fact a heluva lot more) but dare say I'm not as swift on the cinder paths as I was when I was lighter. Nor do I think I can ab- sorb any more punishment nor deal out any more.
 Getting Old
 The same goes for Jimmy. Don't let anybody tell you he's better fighter today than he was five or six years ago. for he isn't. He cer- tainly doesn't hit any harder, as witness the the 10000 licks he laid on Art Lasky's chops without so much as knocking him down. And 1t stands to reason that years and added poundage haven't in- creased his alacrity. My guess on the outcome of the fight is the same as announced weeks ago when scampered out on a limb and stated that the thing-and

JOHNNY BUFF TO SHOW ON LOCAL
 AMATEUR CARD
South End Slugger Will Meet Henry JeffOrds;
 Andy Clliehette Hurt

Hard luck, in it's most concrete form is still dogging the footsteps of Promoter George Mulligan, whose first outdoor boxing show of the season goes on Thursday night at Lakewood arena. But this time, stroke of good fortune im- mediately followed the news of Andy Chichetti's injury in training, forcing the cancellation of the Chichetti-Spir Morris bout, which was one of several feature bouts for the opening show. However, Commissioner Joseph Lawlor has given permission for the use of Johnny Buff, hard-hitting Water bury welterweight to show on the card aganst Henry Jeffords of Torrington. an American Indian, who has been campaigning in the amateur rings of the state for nearly two years and said to be we'll able to take care of himself. Buff boxes tonight in West Haven, and should be in rare form for his battle with Jeffords on Thurs day at Lakewood, which will att tract his legion of South End fol- lowers to the north end stadium.
 Good Boys
 Tippy Stoves of Terryville, a real bit of amateur ring class will also show on the card with the main bout featuring Ken Perry of this city and Joe Burch of Torring- ton, who knocked him out last summer fin Meriden remaining in- tact. Al Santillo, the oakville boy handled by Jack Petruzio, erst- while "Walloping Wop" will also be seen in action, on the Mulligan mauling menu.

RUIN FEARED FOR WORLDS FASTEST
 AUTO MILE RUN
Erosion, Wind and Surf Cutting Away Dayt0na
 Beach Race Strip

Daytona Beach, Fla, June 11-- (UP)-The worlds fastest mile is facing destruction.
 Erosion - greatest foe of all beaches-threatens to wipe out the world-famous shore line where Sir Malclom Campbell, Sir Henry Sea- grave. Frank Lockhart, Ray Keech, Kaye Don and Lee Bible raced and set more than score of world straight-away speed records.
 However, the Federal govern ment has indicated it may come to the aid of the City of Daytona Beach and provide PWA funds with which to study the problem of the Ocean Speedway and pos sibly map some play whereby the racing strip will be svaed.
 Ridge Erased Annually
 Each summer the beach here unfailingly produces huge hump in its back. Prevailing south and southeast winds are given as the cause. In winter, when the north- east and north winds blow, the ridge is erased by a high, pounding surf.
 Eight miles to the southwest off Daytona Beach lie the inside snapper banks. composed of live and dead coral rock. South and southwest winds bring in the coarse particles of the coral, piling them up and forming the ridge. There are no banks to the north east or north.
 Loses Inch a Year
 With each succeeding winter and high water, the beach apparently loses half an inch or, so of its smoother surface. In time, geolo- gists say. the 11-mile racing course will be nothing more than "just aonther sand he'd"
 Years ago the five-mile beach between Daytona Beach and Or mond Beach, winter home of John D. Rockefeller, ST., was as perfect as is the II miles between Day. tona Peach and Ponce de Leon Inlet today. Erosion has worn it down to such an extent a speed of 50 miles an hour over it is danger ous.
 U. S. Survey Under Way
 Government engineers are now studying Ocean Speedway prepar- atory 10 making a report in Wash ington. If they find some not-too- expensive method of preserving the racing stretch, funds probably will be allocated and the worlds fastest beach will be saved.
 If no method can be evolved then Daytona Beach must fade from the speed world and rest on past accomplishments.

COMMISSION TO
 RULE ON SQUAWKS ! ATCONEAB TODAY
Hoffman Does Not Want Donovan as Referee;
 Baer Still 5-l Choice
BY STUART CAMERON Limited Press Sports Editor)

New York, June 11-(U.P.) = A preliminary round of Maxie Baer's first heavyweight title defense will be fought in hte Mahogany trim med offices of the New York State Athletic Commission to-day. Representatives of Maxie and of his challenger, James J. Braddock. go before the light rulers with list of objections as long as the add favoring the champion Thurs day night.
 Kicks Galore Loudest wall will come from Baer's corner when Ancil Hoffman, his manager, protests against the possible selection of Arthur Dono- van as referee but the honor of delivering the greater number of advance complaints will go to Joe Gould, smooth-talking pilot of the challenger. Gould, among other things, will protest against the use of stimulants immediately before or during the fight.
 Hoffman, in battling Donovan. has real fight on his hands. Don- ovan is the only top-flight referee on the approved list big enough to handle heavyweights. Arty is very, very much personna grata with Commissioner John Phelan, Walk, CT, Wear and Bill Brown. The Real Dope?
 Gould's charge is that Baer was hopped with a load of strychnine in his title-winning fight with Primo Camera. He will demand that the commission prohibit Baer's use of a narcotic such as novocaine on either or both of his bruised hands.
 Baer planned only light work to-day, his last at his Asbury Park retreat. He will come to New York tomorrow.
 Braddock already is in town. He is working daily at Stillman's. Despite unsettled weather, the advance sale. according to Madison Square Garden officials, has been brisk. Baer continued to rule to 1 favorite, and commissioners say they expect that price will hold fairly firm until fight time at the Garden Bowl, Thursday night.

 Frankie Berardi, youthful right handler who jumped the BrOoklyns after their first game, signed up with the c. & c. Juniors, defend ing champions of the Public Parks League. Those youngsters who leave the major circuit for berths in the minor league are not doing so for experience when they drop out of the c. A. L. of their own free accord. So figure 1t out for yourself.

 Next Sundays schedule will be the same as that originally planned for the last Sabbath when old Jupe Pluvius interfered. 1t will climax tlie first round and will bring tO- gethcr the Hearts and Tomnnies on No. 2 at 1:45 o'clock, the Hills and Tribes on No. i at 3:45 o'clock and the Brooklyns and Squires on the same diamond at 1:45 o'clock.
 A discussion regarding the scheduling of three league tussles Fourth of July afternoon to make up for the lost day last Sunday, was suggested by President George Casey, but Managers Harry Melvin of the Hearts, Myles Kelly of the Brooklyns and Tom Purcell of the Hills put thumb downs on the sug- gestion.
 Charley Sepaski, who local faps will remember for his sensational play with the Ansonia White Flashes in tho Democrat statewide basketball tournament the past two years, is quite a pitcher and would make real find for some City League combine. Charley, known as 'sDizzy" Dean" Sepasl<i, pitches twice 8 week, in twilight games, once with the Flashes and Sundays in Wallingford with the Polish National Alliance team. He has not been defeated this year in seven games and holds win over the Thomaston Kaccys.
