CanBonert, nearlng the 40-year-old mark, brokr? and with his Nvrt bat tling years far behind him. has come out of retirement and Is strungllng along the comeback trail. The other nlpht he outpointed a welterweight named Jimmy Murray for his third consecutive victory since he started his fight to recoup some of his lost fortune. Like Murray, his other two opponents were unknowns, third raters with no chance to be any thing flw. It Is a pity that Tony was able to whip those three club fltrhtera. It is a pity becauso now he will con tinue boxing until he faces some one who will brutally cut him to pieces, batter him unmercifully and end. once and for all. his ring career.

He Is Tony Lazzerl, who sign ed the other day to play second bass for the Brooklyn Dodgers, after he asked for and obtained his relense from the Chicago Cubs. Lazzeii. hero of 12 seasons with the New York Yanks, Is far from a spring chicken. We don't see how he can perfom at top sped In 154 ball games, or even In mcst of them, al though press reports Indicate he wUl be Brooklyn'a regular second sacker. If he Is, thnt seems to eliminate Pete Coscorart from the Dodger pic ture. Just a few days before Laz zerl signed, Vlcs-Prcsident Larry Mc Phall announced that Coscorart, an ex-Portland Beaver youngster, would definitely be the Dodgers' keystone guardian next summer. He said he liked Pete's work with Nashville, this season, and that tho second base Job was his. Now cornea Tony Lazzerl. and what about Coscorart? It looks like another of thosa screw ball maneuvers made famous by Brooklyn. FIGHllB OF SAN FRANCISCO, Deo. 13 Andre Shelaeff, 18-year-old Russian fighter, died In a hospital here today from a brain concussion which Police Lieut.

Jones J. It was the first victory for the Jones family over tne house of Brltt In the two weeks they have been acu fling hereabouts. But. so decisive was It that it more than made up for Alvln Brltt's win over Tuffy Jones in last night's middle bout, and Floyd Brltt's conquest of Mike Jones last Monday evening. The main go last nlht, the Tony versus Floyd grudge squabble, lasted Just a few seconds over one minute. So sudden was the ending that the huge crowd (500 couldn't obtain seats) was unable to realize what had happened for several minutes. When It finally did, however, it sounded like the armory was being torn apart a stick at a time. It was Floyd Brltt's own fault that he was knocked colder than a frozen herring. He exploded the Reg of dynamite when he tore into Tony long before the opening bell sounded, when he and Tony were listening to Referee Eirl Yoakley's instruction! regarding the Illegal use of the ropoa. The three were standing near the hemp, apparently peaceful, when Floyd suddenly went Into action. He grabbed Tony around the heod and began gouging eyes. The official attempted to pull Floyd off the sur prised Tony, but gave up the Job after a few seconds of futile effort. Floyd manhandled Tony for a spell. pouring on a vicious Btrangle hoM and massaging the elder Jones' glim mers. Tho Brltt meanie had tlie advantage for only a few seconds, however, for Tony soon grabbed Brltt by the head and hoisted him clear across the ring. Tony slammed Brltt to the carpet three times, then unleashed his knockout punch as Floyd, st'll not realizing the folly of getting within shouting distance of the power.'ul Tony, came In close. Tony started his clout from right field, after wind ing up In the bull pen. It was a huge uppercut that curved skyward toward Brltt's chin and crashed against It with devastating force. Br.tt sagged at the knees and dropped dead, cold to the world. Bleed' ng from tho mouth, he lay on the can vas for several minutes before he w.y carried to the dressing room. The first Brltt versus Jones fight of tlie evening, Alvln against Tuffy, ended In a two out of three fall win for the big, mean Br.tt. At east a dozen times during the match Ref eree Ycaklcy tried to award the match to Tuffy on fouls, but the latter refused. Brltt has never been so mean as he was In this match. Tuffy employed his back-crunchiaj bear hug to win the first fall In the opening canto. In the third round, after breaking Tuffy's arms and neck over the ropes and slugging him with doubled fists, Alvln applied a surf board to even the score. Tho match ended In the fourth heat, and a.?alu It was a scries of armbreakers ovar the ropes which forced Tuffy to give up. Little Brother Mike Jones defeated Spider Kelly of Oakland. Cal., in the opening event, two falls to one. in a sparkling exhibition of clean and legitimate grappling. Mike grabbed the first fall In the second round with eon nen bergs, a dropklck and a body press. Kelly took the next tum ble with a rolling leg-split, and Mike came back to win In the fifth round with some more dropklcks and a body press. From beginning to end, the pro gram was undoubtedly the best scrn here In six months. I'pliolil Ci'n nlscharee SALEM, Dec. 13.
