Brings Indignant Denial.

JIMMY denies the charge indig-
" nantly. Your correspondent men,
toned it to him when the former well
terweight champion slid into town to
prepare for the CanZoneri bout. Jimmy
seemed hurt and sore at the same
time. His blue eyes flashed and his
pink cheeks pinkened. He looked like
a Hollywood baby star who has just
been given 10 per cent pay cut.
"Canzoneri was the one who asked
for this fight" he said. He thinks
he can knock me out. Does that
sound like I was picking my spots?
It's funny thing, but certain people
have been saying for years what a
tough fella this Canzoneri is. and as
soon as sign to fight him, they turn
around and call me a bully. Is Can
zoneri tough, or isn't he? That's what
I'm here to find out"
To do jimmy justice, Mr.. Canzoneri
did ask for the fight, and Mr.. Can
Zoneri does regard himself as a pretty
tough customer. In fact, this talk Of
cripple kicking and bullying makes
Tony just as sore as James. Tony
considers himself soft touch for no
man, least of all, James McLarnin.
A few months ago the lightweight
champion of all the world was looking
high and low for a good profitable
fight. He couldn't defend his title
against lightweight because the box
ing commissioners were still trying to
decide which lightweight was worthy
of the honor. He asked for Barney
Ross, but Ross grew coy and demanded
a guarantee the size of the French
national debt. So Mr.. Canzoneri
looked around some more. He finally
hit on McLarnin.
Tonys manager, the bright Mr.
Sammy Goldman, did not care for the
sound of this project at first. Like
other observers in Caulifower alley.
he felt that McLarnin was a bit too
big and tough. But when Tony in
sisted. and when the financial posi-
bilities of the fight began to capture
his imagination, Mr.. Goldman relent-
ed and signed the articles.

Goldman Enthusiastic Over Bout.

TODAY Mr.. Goldman is just as en-
- thusiastic as his protege.
III say, for one thing, that Tony
made a much better showing against
Ross than McLarnin ever did," re-
marks Mr. Goldman. And for an
other thing, McLarnin has never been
up against puncher like Tony. He
won't know what to do when Tony
catches him on the button with that
right hand. And don't think he won't
catch him. Ross caught him often
enough, only Ross can't punch for
doughnuts with Canzoneri."
Mr.. Canzoneri feels the same way
about 1t, but he is much more bitter.
This Rialto gossip to the effect that
Mr.. McLarnin will scare Tony stiff
and slug him bowlegged, thus in
creasing the Nations hospital popula-
ton by one full-sized and permanent
case, annoys the wee Wop no little.
1--WE been pining for a fight with
this guy" says Antonio. He's the
most overrated ham in the business.
I've seen him plenty and he never
showed me nothing. Ross kicked him
around. So did Billy Petrolle, the
time I saw them fight. He only
throws real punch when he's got
some little guy up there in front of
him, scared as rabbit. won't be
scared. I'll be punching"
Your correspondent does not like
to contribute to the ballyhoo of any
bout of fisticuffs whatsoever, but it
must be admitted that there are points
of interest about this one When two of
the most celebrated small fighters
of the era come up against each other
for the first time there are issues at
stake and history to be made for the
record books.
Canzoneri is undoubtedly the strong
est and most valuable lightweight
champion since Leonard. McLarnin's
record, regardless of how he compiled
1t. has made him famous and a box
Office pull for 10 years. It's pity the
boys are meeting in the twilight of
their respective careers, but twilight is
better than never.
Pretty soon we will know whether
Mr.. McLarnin has picked himself a
cripple this time, or a bouquet of
poison ivy.

in tournaments stretching from coast

were to underwrite the whole thing

all over, and there won't be any
pros touring the small spots this year

was part Of the scheme. The boys
were to have no club affiliations, but
were to have nothing much to do but

HORSE RACING IS DEVEL 0PINC
 IN TEXAS LAND
Eighty-one Are Nominated for Breeders Futurity
 Next Autumn

DALLAS, Texas, March IT. = Southwest thoroughbred breeders are spending thousands of dollars in the development of racing stock Since the legalization of horse rac- ing and pari-mutuel wagering in 1883, interest and activity in the breeding division has more than tripled, according to Miss Pearl K. Beckkham of the Waggoner Estate and Texas Jockey Club, who is actively in charge of preliminary nominations and arrangements for the Southwest Thoroughbred Breed CTS Futurity.
 The Breeders Futurity is an an- nual Fall fixture at the Texas Jockey Clubs meeting at Arlington Downs.
 Fifty-three Texas and Oklaho- ma-bred juveniles remain as poten- tial candidates for the 1886 Futurity which promises to develop into an event comparable with the rich OldoolOo.
 The interest in breeding of thor oughbreds is clearly shown by the nomination of 81 for the 1857 Flu turity George B. McCamey of the Bedford Stock Farms has nominated five F. B. Koontz, master of the Paulfred Farms near Tulsa, Okla, has 10 potential candidates, all by Witchmount. Col R. B. George, Dallas enthusiast, has 8 foals nom mated, and the w. D. Reynolds Trust nominated three.
 The Waggoner's Three Ds Stock Farm will rely on 13 prospective racers, including 5 by Phalaros, onl by Quarte Bras II, out of Canfli, two by Stamford, and four likely young sters by Liberty Limited, now re- presented for the first time. The Liberty Limited youngsters are out of Flivver, Girl Scout, Handy Man dy and High Flight, and all are standouts in the new Three D crop of yearlings.
 Woodward and Smith, now racing as Valdina Farms, will have 12 youngsters to choose from, and these all are by that noted sire, Chicaro, and raised on the Running w ranch at Sabinol, Texas.

 They are Capt Bob Kessler, Jewell Young and Johnny Sines, forwards; Ed Elliott and Jim Seward, centers, and Red Lambert, Pat Malaska and Glen Downey, guards
 If the Boilermakers keep the pace in their remaining Big Ten games they set in the first four they may approach or surpass the scoring record for a conference season of SIP they established in 1884. In the first four games this season Purdue averaged an even 45 points per game.
