LONG INACTIVITY NO. | HANDIGAP TO Mick: BATTLE SET FRIDAY Records Reveal Jimmy Had Edge in Every Important Fight of Career ITALIAN | One of Two Game Little Veter- ans Almost Sure to Hang Up Gloves By HARRY GRAYSON New York, May 5.—(NEA)—Well, Tony Canzoneri finally has gotten around to Jimmy McLarnin. t The two grand little veterans are down for 10 rounds at the Garden | Friday, and Tony finds himself about to tackle the fellow he always wanted to meet, but a fellow with whom, for various reasons, his manager, Sammy Goldman, refused to dicker. The 10 rounds will be enough for Canzoneri. Goldman, who until now Tefused to match Tony with the baby- faced Mick because of the Irishman’s | > weight advantage, ‘for 15. j } Canzoneri hasn't been knocked out ‘ or stopped in 11 years of stirring war- P fare, but I have an idea he will be tagged for keeps this trip. ‘| McLarnin, with a 10-pound weight pull, is altogether too big and hits too hard for the Canzoneri of 1936. It might have been different three or four years ago, but much of the spring had disappeared from Can- foneri’s legs when he dropped the lightweight leadership and those two hairline decisions to Barney Ross in 1933. wouldn't stand Both are tired business men ready to retire—but both are great drawing cards in Gotham, and it is only be- cause Tony will share in a big purse that Goldman permitted his willing, but fatigued, charge to enter the | battle handicapped by McLarnin’s { weight advantage. Jimmy Unaffected by Layoff Supporters of the game little Ttalian, probably the busiest and greatest fighter, pound for pound, who ever stepped into the ring, point to the fact that the Vancouver cherub doesn’t rate a favorite role in the im- pending battle, due to his year's lay- off. The reasoning, however, doesn’t hold water. McLarnin is an amazing fighter in this regard. An idle year had elapsed when he fought and beat Tl for the welter- ? } } | four months before he again the ring, and then he won the crown from Ross. Eight was the interval before he again, and he dropped his to Barney in their third go. Benny Leonard .and others believe | that McLarnin’s weight pull isn’t an | advantage, asserting that, being a ‘spuncher, he is a standoff ) fighter who doesn’t use his weight to wear down small opponents in the | ¢linches. | _ But the records show that Jimmy | has had the edge in every one of his important battles—against Bud Tay- lor as a noneerneients Joe Glick, Bily Al Singer, and Sammy Puller as a lightie, and against Ross as @ welterweight. Canzeneri in Condition Canzoneri has been mighty active for the last year or so, having en- in about 15 battles, all of them barroom brawls. While constant activity should have rounded him into shape, it also has taken from his aging pins. * MeLarnin, on the other hand, has agin his physique and, even sparring partners who up his camp, he should 4m fresher condition, and less finely little Tony. ’s retrieval of the light- by temporarily ruining as @ great fight.

Erred in Trading Benge, Lopez and Cuc- cinello to Bees New York, May 5.—(/?)—Basehall being an unpredictable game and ball Players a daffy lot, the trades and purchases made so hopefully last win- ter look strangely different around the fourth of May. Since misfortune starts and ends in Flatbush, you might first consider the case of the Brooklyn Dodgers. They traded Al Lopez, Ray Benge, Al Cuc-; cinello, and Bob Reis to the Boston | Bees for Ed Brandt and Randy Moore. } Tuesday, Ray Benge had won four games and lost none; Al Lopez was| playing his usual good game back of | the bat even if he was hitting only .233; Cuccinello was hitting .293, and Reis, 300. While in Brooklyn, to be brief, Brandt had lost every game he pitch- ed and Moore was disconsolat: with a broken leg. Parmelee Shows Terry Perhaps the most important trade of the season was between the Cards and the Giants, Roy Parmelee going to the Cards and Burgess Whitehead coming over to the Giants. Then Bill Terry, manager of the Giants, told Frankie Frisch, the Cards’ manager, during the course of a little light banter that Parmelee would not fin-; ish .a ball game for Mr. Frisch. i Whereupon, Frisch started Parme- lee in the first game of the season against the Giants and he finished 17 innings beating the Giants, 2-1. Whitehead has done little for the Giants. The purchase of Tommy Thevenow by the Reds from the Pirates did not; rate much more than half a stick of type in last year's papers. But Tom- my was put into a couple of ball) games in desperation and each time he came up with a winning hit. Now| Thevenow plays second base for the; Reds. Simmons Hitting .264 In an American League trade the Tigers bought Al Simmons for $75,- 000, Simmons, at this writing, is hit- ting 264. Joe Cronin made a deal with his old club, the Senators, whereby the Red Sox would get Heinie Manush for Roy Johnson and Carl Reynolds. Manush, at present, is hitting .284; Johnson, who went subsequently to New York in another deal, 306, and Carl Reynolds, .333. But other deals made by Cronin, Yawkey, Collins and Co., turned out somewhat better.

They hope to go on winning games. | The ban was laid down in Boston Friday when Outfielder Bruce Camp- bell was stricken for the second time with meningitis. When the team ar- rived here for the current series with the Washington Senators, local health authorites recommended the same precautions. “It is very possible,” said Dr. James G. Cummings, chief of the bureau of Preventable diseases, “that there might be germ carriers on this team. I strongly advise that they do not go in for kissing.” Jubilant over the team’s two straight victories over the Senators, Manager Steve O'Neil said that even the absence of inspirational kisses could not stop his athletes, Hl “All of the boys except four are married,” O'Neil continued, “and \none of the wives travel with the team. Not that they don’t trust the fellows, but I suspect there is some smug satisfaction back in Cleveland over the doctor's orders.” Explaining that the ban continues only until May 22, the manager added that the team returns home next Monday. “That just means 11 kissless days at home,” he said, “and shucks, anybody ought to be able to manage that.” .

In the last 26 innings the ace flinger has worked on the mound, the Giants have given him exactly one run to play with. That isn’t much of @ lead in any ball game even behind Hubbell, who won 23 while losing 12 last year. MONDAY’S STARS Elbert Stine and Kiki Cuyler, Reds — Former blanked Giants with eight hits; latter paved way for winning run with triple. Joe Coscarart, Bees—His double off LeRoy Parmelee drove in three runs. Billy Sullivan, Indians — Sent two runs across the plate with homer off Pete Appelton. Hubbell pitched four-hit ball Mon- day but the Giants failed to score a single run and went down 1-0 before the Cincinnati Reds. In his previous start, Hubbell went 17 innings against the Cardinals but lost 2-1 when his mates failed to fathom the slants of Leroy Parmelee. Hubbell won his first two games of the sea- son, Only one of the four hits against Hubbell was an extra base blow but it subsequently spelled defeat. Kiki Cuyler opened the ninth inning with a triple. Sammy Byrd hoisted a fly to Mel Ott in right field and Cuyler raced home with the winning run. sliding into Gus Mancuso to beat Ott’s throw to the plate. Rain played havoc with the sched- ule and only one other National League and one American League game were played. Ray Benge, the leading pitcher of the National League, registered his fourth straight win as the Boston Bees defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-6, to halt the latter's winning streak at six games. The Cleveland Indians took their second straight victory from the Senators, 6-3. As the Reds battled on the ball field, there was turmoil behind the scenes. General Manager Larry 8. MacPhail inferred that Paul Der- ringer, the Reds’ ace flinger, might be dropped from the active list un- less he plays “like he’s supposed to.” Derringer was suspended without pay when he failed to slide home in Sun- day’s game. Derringer won 22 games last year but he has failed to show his customary form this season.

It is a bad habit, and when it creeps out in the heat of competition, it is hard to remedy. a When the going gets tough, you whale the tar out of the ball; you swing with all your might trying to make up for that something that is missing in your swing. An analysis will show that the fault lies in start- ing the backswing too fast, and the downswing too quickly. Start your backswing more slowly, and delay the downswing until the club has reached the top of the back- gd then start down, increasing the speed of the club gradually until OUT OUR WAY * | Toledo Brewers Trounce Colonels, 9-' Indians Whip Champion Millers, 8-6 Chicago, May §.—(?)—The Kansas City Blues’ ability to win extra-in- ning games is keeping them at the top of the American Association standings.
