The re- cord book says that Tony was born in 1905. ... That makes me ex- actly eight years younger than he. I have improved in the last year, while the wear and tear of all of his fights must have taken some- thing from him, something the added experience at this stage of his career cannot offset. “Sure, he gave me a boxing les- son when we fought for the title a little over a year ago. But he won't do it again. I learned a lot from Tony that evening in May, and plenty about him, too. I don’t mind being the shortender in this fight. . . . not after the way fa- vorites have been taking it on the chin this year.” “Buck Fever” Beat Him Ambers has been preparing him- self for his shot at Canzoneri's title at Dr. Blier's camp in Pomp- ton Lakes, N. J, and makes it clear that he intends to out-hustle 4 3 3 4 2 4 { fellow doesn't recover | the champion when they meet. He has won a dozen fights since he was decisively beaten by Canzoneri. His victory over Frankie Klick put him | back in the running for the cham- pionship. Against Canzoneri bers could not seem last year Am- boxing days and the result that Lou suffered a bad case oi‘ “buck fever” and showed none of| the whirlwind attack for which he is famous. But Lou has botten over all that, or, at least, so he claims. | “This time Tony will be just an- | other fighter, and one that I feel' sure I can lick,” Lou says. “And don't think that tough fight Tony had with Jimmie McLarnin is going to make him any tougher for me,” the challenger goes on. “A as quicldy after the years pile up as he did when he was a kid. “Canzoneri Won't Last” “What I saw of Canzoneri in that fight convinced me that he is just about ready to be taken. He was dog-tired at the end of ten rounds, 50 how do you think he will be able to carry on for 15 at the fast clip at which I am going to take him along?” We weren't answering questions —just listening. So we let Amb- ers continue. ¥I have a hunch that T will knock Tony out this time. Now don't laugh—I'm serious about it. In half of the last dozen fights I've had I've knocked out my opponents.j That proves I've developed a bit| of a punch, I guess.” One of Ambers’ knockout victims was the late Tony Scarpati. Tony died after his head struck the floor when Lou floored him in the 7th round of their contest. Ambers was cleared but in a moment of regret immediately following the unfor- tunate accident announced that he was quitting the ring for good. In time he got over that feeling and appeared at a show for the benefit of Scarpati's family. After a brief rest he resumbed his climb to the spot where he earned -another chance at the lightweight title. W. Virginia Game Count Shows Too Many Deer CHARLESTON, W. Va, Aug. 8. —Nearly a thousand deer roam the Seneca State Forest. The conserva- tion commission thinks that’s more than enough and may trap some for removal to areas where they may be hunted. The count was made by W. C. Anderson, State Game Surveyor, who enumerated 979 deer in the area, along with 45 wild turkeys, 1,085 grouse, 226 rabbits, 493 gray squirrels, 23 gray foxes, 157 red squirrels and four beaver.

Two games that will go a long( way toward settling the tangle in| which the second half of the Gas- tineau Channel League pennant| race finds itself are salted for this| week-end. Tonight at 6 o’clock, instead of at| 6:30, the Douglas Islanders, vic-| tors last night over the Moose and now heading the standings, meet the hottom rung Legionnaires. If the Islanders win tonight's contest they cannot be beaten for the second half, a tie with them being the best that any other team can get, and the only team that can get that will be the Moose. To- night is Douglas’ last scheduled game. However, the Vets have been hitting a nice pace of late and it would not surprise if they were to take the Douglas outfit, which will be without the hurling services of its ace, Claude Erskine, who chucked last night. Mark Jensen vs. Ward McAlister is likely the way the mound choices will line up, and it must be remembered that Ward has snapped out of his trance and won his last two games. to a win tonight, it will leave the second half still a wide open race, every team having a mathematical chance to tie the Islanders and the Moose with a chance to win if they can cop their last two matches. Sunday Game Tomorrow afternoon at 5:30 o'- clock the Legion will take on the| second place Moose. They must! win that game in order to stay in the running, but may have their troubles as they dropped one to the Vets in the two teams’ last meet- ing. A win for the Legion tonight and tomorrow would leave them and the Elks a chance to tie Doug- las, but would put the Moose .out of it. A loss for the Legion Sun- day would stow their ball season| away. Battery choices for Sun-| day's game are still well up in the| air. Both games will be played in the | Firemen's Park in Juneau.

The Moose seemed to think the arm mightier than the bat in Douglas’ half of the fourth, and tried to show the Island lads how to get real distance with a base- ball. Before they finished throw- ing the ball out of the park, the Islanders had added five runs and gone into an eight to six lead. First Scoring ‘The Paps scored first, Fritz Schmitz climbing aboard second on a muffed throw at first, going to third on Forsythe’s long fly to cen- ter and coming across when Rogers | repeated Forsythe's move. But the| Islanders really came back in their half of the opener. Jensen led off with a triple, Erskine followed with a homer, and Andrews hit another four-baser. The next two batters fanned, but Douglas had a three to! one lead. Manning, Douglas’ starting pitch-| er, retired in the second in favor of Erskine when Jack Schmitz opened | the second with a homer, followed! by Grummett with a double through! the center field fence. Erskine| whiffed the next batter but Haw-| kins drove Grummett home with a single and the count was knot- ted. Score Three More The Paps got three more in the first of the fourth to take a six| to three edge. Grummett and Wer- ner doubled, Werner beat the throw to the plate on White's rolier, White} being safe at first and going to sec-| ond when Erskine wild pitched.| Fritz Schmitz flied out but For-| sythe brought White home with al single to left which McDonald fum- bled. However the Islanders came right back with their big inning Pap wild heaves and Jensen's cir- cuit smack. Nothing daunted, the Black Sox| squared the count again in the fifth making two Douglas bobbles, a wild pitch and a safety good for two markers. F. Schmitz' single followed by Forsythe’s sacrifice and Rogers' double put the Moose out ahead once more, scoring Schmitz for a nine to eight margin. Then Douglas came right back to even it again. Picinini hit McDonald with a pitched ball, went to second on Niemi's infield out, and counted on Roller's single. Nine Tallies Each That sent the ball game into the —nine runs per each. The Moose went down before Erskine one-two- three in their half to put the mat- ter up to Douglas. Douglas came through. Erskine led off with the An- drews doubled him to third, and| up came Williams, who had not hit all evening. With the count two! and two on him, Williams drove one to the left field fence and Erskine eame across. The Moose had sor-| rows to do something about The only lueky pitchers last night were those that didn't have to pitch. | The batters seemed to know just| what was coming amd parked the Hurlers' best heaves in far places. | Manning was nicked for a home and a double, Erskine for three doubles and five safet Picinini| for three four-basers, cne three- baser, one double and four singles| and that with all three chuckers showing good control and a lot of stuff. The earned runs count shows that Tal Picinini had the game heaved away behind him. He | allowed only five right and proper scores while the two Douglas hurl- ers let in six. Mark Jensen was big batter of the | day, getting a homer and a triple in four times up. Andrews got a/ homer and a double out of four, Grummett got two doubles, Jack Schmitz and Claude Erskine got' homers. | As one feminine spectator re- marked, “Why didn't they pass the hat again?
