C N N EE ft" LA GRANDE'S OWN STORE TONY CANZONERI WINS NEW TITLE New 'York Italian Holds Both Lightweight arid Junior Welter Crowns By William Wwkcs (Associated Press Sports Writer) CHICAGO, Apr. 26 W Tony Con zoneri, grinning Italian from New York, has sculcd pugilistic heights never before attained by a Hltlo lighter. Llttlo Tony, a Bhortonder In tho betting, laHt night fought one of the finest battles of Mb 'eventful enreor to wreck the drive of .lack (Kid) Berg, of England, by a stunning knockout victory tn the third round ot their scheduled 10-round, doublo-barreled title bout last night in the Chicago stadium. Huh Two Titles The triumph over tho gallant son of Great Britain, preserved Canzon ert's nolo, on the lightweight cham pionship' of .the world, and added Berg's junior weltorwclght5 crown to the Canzonorl connection.'. Jn spile, of Cnnzonoi'i's apparent mastery, the knockout lacked noth ing In dramatic thrill. They stood In a neutral corner firing away, Can Konerl carefully and Berg working In hla characteristically windmill fash Ion. Tony stepped away, then in, drop ping two sharp lights on Berg's head. Berg kept on moving in, but straight ened up Just In tlmo to take, a per fectly aimed right smash full on the chin. Ho flopped to the canvas llko a sack of meal; Thoroughly out, Berg rolled ovoi" and instinctively at tempted to hoist himself to his feet. Ho partly succeeded with the aid of the ropes as Referee Little Phil Col lins said' "seven," but his iegB re fused to support him and he slumped back on the floor. Collins stepped over and raised Canzoncrl's arm. OellrloiiH With Happiness The cool, calculating Canzoucrl of tho fight-disappeared and ho jugipcri about tho ring, almost delirious with happiness. Then as he received tho National Boxing association's dia mond -etuddrd championship belt from General John V. Chimin, presi dent of the ft. B. A., and chairman of tho Illinois State Athletic commis sion, tears trickled down through his wide grin. He rushed over to Berg to shake tho Briton's hand. Derg, still dazed, hardly realised what had happened. Canzonorl easily took tho flrnt two rounds from the slow-starting Berg. Berg was almost heart-broken over his failure. "Ho got to mo before I was warmed up." was his only comment. The fight was packed with action overy second of the wav, but the stadium was fur from packed, only 11.780 watching it. and tho com Behind it stretch .79 years of Studebaker leadership 'ivheeincf Studebaicer Builder of Champions M.

Fullerton Jr. (Associated Press Sports Writer) The major league pitchers have generally held tho upper hand over tho batters so far thiB season, but m one fell swat the boys have shown that the new "dead" ball Is not so dead that it can't be hit hard and far. Bvin mninr lpfiifue eames yester- day produced 16 home runs, well dis tributed among the competing teams, and plenty of additional extra base swats. Rogers Hornsby, sturdy man ager of the Chicago Cubs, alone ex ploded the yarn that the thicker cover and raised seams of tho pel let used in the National league could offset the power gained through the consumption of "them steaks." The Rajah, never mucn 01 a uisumue ter a few years ago until he began adding beef to his frame, clouted three home runs in succession to play the leading role in his team's 10-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pi rates. Accounts for 8 Kims With one single to boot, these three homers accounted for eight runs and tied the modern mapor league record for homers In one game. The all-time mark Is four, made by Bob Lowe and E Dele hanty back in the 90's. - The home run hitting was distrib uted among nine clubs, the three by Hornsby and two by Glenn Wright of Brooklyn gave the National league, with the supposedly deader ball, a 9-6 margin in the number hit. Wright's swats, one homer by Del Blssonette and some fine pitching j by Watson Clark, enabled the Robins W Will LUCIl BWU11U gallic ui vug ucti- son. defeating the Boston Braves 6 to 1. The Phillies and New York Giants put the first tie game of the season on record as darkness halted their clash after 12 Innings with the score 7 to 7. Simmons Finds Himself Al Simmons, whose failure to hit has retarded tho progress , of the champion Philadelphia Athletics, broke loose to show the American league how to clout the ball. Simmons connected for a homer and two triples to lead the A's to a 10-7 victory over Washington. Red Ruffing combined pitching and hitting as the Yankees trounced the Boston Red Sox 7 to 4. Pitching alone still held sway In the two JJJ!"1 games of the American l league. Earl Whltehill gave the St. 1 Louis Browns five hits, two of them homers, in a mound duel against Sammv Gray.

Perhaps It may he no more suc cessful than last season, when he lowered the 100-yard record to 9.4 seconds, doing it twice for empha sis, but Wykoff has yet to capitalize his full sprint powers. His coach. Dean Cromwell, told me last year he intended to bring Frank along gradually and without too much pressure, having in mind tho 1032 Olympics as well as the fact that the sprinter alreody has had several distressing accidents and Illnesses. 'I think Frank can break sprint records up to at least 220 yards," remarked Cromwell, "but there's no advantage in forcing him along." In his first major starts this spring Wykoff turned the 100 in 9.7 and the furlong in 21.4 seconds, contrib uting a double victory to Southern California's one-sided dual tnect vic tory over California.
