“SPoRTS. uBADn D—EMPRUVE i ] BIG AND LITTLE POISO. TOBESEASKTIONS “What Might Have Been” Idea Pervades 0’Doul, Yde and Other Trades. RY GEORGE CHADWICK, FW YORK, July 29.—So far it N season for the big soothsayers of base ball. At least the first half of the major league race Spring. Quite incidental to this main truth, there are some things connected with taresting reflection on events as they have occurred and on what might have been. McGraw of the New York Giants had not traded Lefty O'Doul, outfielder, to the Phillies for Fred Leach, the Giants avident. McGraw has not always been lucky in his outfield trades. He was lucky, it is true, when he got Seymcur ages, and also when he got Ed Roush back. But luck failed him when he acquired George Harper.

CANZONERI SEEKING Unlike Mandell, Tony Has N Weight to Shed for Friday’s Battle. By the Associated Pre HICAGO, July 29.— Sammy | Mandell, king of lightweights, and Tony Canzoneri, challenger for the Rockford shelk’s title, today went into the final stages ‘of preparation for their championshij combat at Chicago Stadium Priday night. Mandell faced the job of shedding three pounds by weighing in time, but | was unworried. He said he did not plan | to be more than an ounce or two under the division limit of 135 pounds when he climbed on the scales Friday. “You will recall that I was only few ounces under 135 pounds for the Kansas match,” Mandell said yesterday. “I weighed 1347 for the McGraw | match and I just barely made the weight for Jimmie McLarnin. You see, | I never work myself into a frenzy over weight-making.” Canzoneri is concentrating on speed, the question of weight causing him no trouble. He plans to weigh in at 133 pounds and is confident he will be at the peak of condition. Both boxers will take their final hard workouts Wednesday. Mandell, who was a 2-to-1 favorite over Canzoneri when the match was | made and two days ago had slipped to a 7-t0-5 choice, today was back to 2 to 1.

EW YORK, July 20.— Pistic champions have been having a tough time of it in recent weeks, but Sammy Mandell, king of the lightweights, be- lieves he can avold the current jinx when, crown on head, he steps into the ring against Tony Canzoneri at Chicago_this Friday night. Pate has been unkind to champions recently, no fewer than four having bit the dust last week. Joe Dundee dropped his welterweight . crown to Jackie Plelds at Detroit, Al Singer knocked out Andre Routis, feather- weight champion, in an overweight ight; Mushy Callahan, junior welter- weight title holder, was soundly beaten by Jack Berg in another mnon-titular battle, and Al Brown, New York State's nominee for the bantamweight title, was outpointed in.a non-championship bout by Bat Battalino. | Mandell Not Worrying. Mandell is not ®orrying. He believes e can take care of himself and those who saw_him trounce Jimmy McLarnin at New York last year are inclined to gree with him. McLarnin, a much more dangerous puncher than. Can- zoneri, never found the Rockford flash still enough to hit him solidly. Although Canzoneri does not rate with McLamin as a puncher, he may be a more difficult foe for Mandell to beat. holder of the featherweight title, has been unbeatable since he quit the featherweights to go a-gunning after bigger game, but, on the other hand, Tony has not fought any man as shifty, clever and fast as Mandell.

The anglers will have to be patient for their time which is bound to come. It is hard to describe fishing conditions this season owing to the conflicting reports.

The matter of points | and trophies has been made inci- dental. The members of the competing | teams live together and train to- | | gether. These international inter- | collegiate contests have established | some lifelong friendships since the beginning. One of the men behind these contests, and perhaps the mov- ing spirit, is John T.

"Mr. McGovern, while he | was an active track athlete, went to | England to compete and was so | struck by the Englisn attitude toward | | ‘sport that he has been devoting much time and energy to this task of establishing a better friendship | between the English and Americans through sports. | Enough has developed. in interna- tional competitions to show that com- | petitive sport has potentialities for de- veloping considerable bitterness in the | place of amity and understanding. It | all depends upon the spirit in which the games are played.
