Hurricane.
Canzoncri not only shattered
precedent, but broke the hearts of
Inc 49th-st boys. those hard-bitten
layers Of boxing odds, who we're
forced to give 13 to get on Tonys
chances Of winning. Along with
Ambers these professional betting
men took a terrific passing. but
thanks to the artistry of Tony, there
wasn't a murmur when old Joe
HUMPHREYS. his voice choked With
emotion, told the crowd of 10000
what it already knew, that the
winner and once again champion
Of the world was Tony Canzoneri.
Gould Go 40 Rounds
Experts of the press sections were
on the receiving end of separate
beating. and all because of Tonys
legs. There was a choice rumor
about that Canzoneri had trained
for only four rounds, realizing that
his pins wouldn't hold up for the
full distance. But after the Is
rOundS-45 minutes Of activity
we're complete, Tony did little jig
and laughed about his legs.
Why, man." he said. Those legs
we're good for 40 rounds. / actually
laughed to myself long about the
seventh round because l knew that
some folks would be worrying about
them
1t was a grand show and the
crowd helped make it SO. For the
first time since Canzoner defended
his title against Kid Chocolate III
1881. the Gardens 10000 seats were
packed.

fight was scarcely started before
the long -enders began worrying

his younger opponent. and was able
to score Almost as he pleased. He
swarmcd all over the failing Herkl-

by an imposing margin. He almost
scored a Knockout in the third. A
crashing right that seemed to come
from nowhere. caught Ambers flush
on The law and he Topped to the
canvas. The timekeeper raised ms
eavel twice. but Lou refused TO stay
out the count. and. waverlng a pt'
oamelv went after Tony. Again
the Canzoneri right whipped out and
Jared Lou. but the bell saved HIM

The bout offered a great con-
