42 DECLARED ANNOYED BY BETTING GROUP Champion Is Heavy Favorite for Fight in Chicago Tomorrow Night. | Br the Associated Press. ! HICAGO. August 1.—Surrounded | by a police guard to thwart possible attempts at violence against him, Sammy Mandell today went through final prep- arations for the 10-round clash in de- fense of his world lightweight m‘m'i plonship against Tony Canzoneri at | Chicago Stadium Friday night. | The champion late yesterday secretly | slipped away from his training camp, mccompanied by the police guard, upset by annoyances believed to have been inspired by a gambling group endeavor- ing to stage a betting coup. Mandell went to,s hotel, where he | expected to remain With his bodyguard, leaving only to take a final workout to- | day. He left the camp ahead of his schedule after anonymous telephone calls and prowlers had “gotten on his nerves.” He sald he was not certain any one planned to harm him, but de- cided to take no chances and hurriedly moved out. Mandell was a big favorite in the betting, the odds having mounted stead- ily in his favor during the past week. He was quoted at 1 to 2}z late yester- | day and it was expected that his price | would go higher before .the fight when | it was learned that he was only a frac- | tion of a pound over the division limit | of 135 pounds. Both the champion and Canzoneri, | the challenger. today were to finish u with six rounds of floor work.

(Retired Undefeated Lishtweight Champion | of the World.) | | HICAGO, August 1.—About the! only edge Tony Canzoneri, the | challenger, will have in his | fight with' Sammy Mandell for | the lightweight .champlonship | | of the world in the stadium here to- | morrow night is the weight. | Tony is a natural 133 pounder. At| that weight. with no effort at reducing, | Canzoneri should have all his strength. { In fact, & quarter pound over would b | just so much excess weight for him. The champion, Mandell, on the other | hand, has had a task getting down to the weight limit, 135. To make that poundage Mandell has been under the compulsion of working off weight he needs to be at his peak. He is sacri- ficing a lot of his strength and of his remarkable speed. The question is whether this sapping @ of Mandell's strength. slight as it may prove, will not offset the many ad- vantages possessed by champlon over challenger. That's one thing we must figure out. . Lacks Boxing Skill. Canzoneri lacks the champion's eon- | summate boxing skill. He also lacks Mandell's ring generalship and experi- ence. His main drawback, however, and the one which may prove his big handi- cap, is that Tony doesn't have the ‘killer instinct.” He is not the type to keep fighting coggedly at all times with the one idea of putting over a | erusher that will end the fight then and there. He lacks the smashing punch to do this, but if he had the instinct to keep everlastingly at it many of his punches would do the work of wearing down the | champion, so that Tony finally would | be_able to land the finisher. | What I'm trying to put over is the ! fact that after Canzoneri finds his man too elusive—when he finds that his best punches are not sufficlent to make any apparent fmpression on the champion— he will become discouraged, and be- | cause he is a fighter who knows a b: about boxing. he will fall back on th: to try to make a good showing. | Likely to Be Discouraged. | That doesn't mean Tony is not ag- | gressive and game. It merely means he | lacks a certain bulldog determination which brooks no discouragement. Tony | knows too well when he is not winning. | If he were a less intelligent type. if he | knew a little less about boxing and were | a fighter pure and simple, T think his | chances would be much better. | Canzoneri is at' an advantageous age, 23. But Mandell is only 25, so that the | age is a toss-up. | Canzoneri has a snappy punch, even if it isn’t crushing. But I haven't seen | him show a one-punch knockout. He | is nowhere near the puncher Jimmy | Dick Dienes. 21: I. Poj P_H. Vet ; i | Another thing: Mandell will be about the first really h'gh-class man Can-| zoneri has met in the heavier division. | Tony, it must be remembered, is just | Sammy Mandell, lightweight champion. | less prone to shoot his punches even | | Tony tries the trick, and Tony will find THE _EVENING graduating from the featherweight clast. Many of his fights have been! won because he could outbox a rugged opponent when he couldn't get any- where by fighting him. In this case, in- stead of looking fast against his op- ponent, Canzoneri w'll look slow, e: ceptionally slow, because of Mandell's really remarkable speed. Mandell Is Too Wise. Tony has a few little habits he could get away with against less experienced | and less scientific boxers than the light- weight champion. For instance, he likes | to stick his chin out for his opponent to | take a shot at, and when the opponent is tempted into taking the shot Tony draws his chin out of range, the result being that the opponent looks foolish. This psychology tends to make the op- ponent feel inferior, and he becomes | when big openings offer Besides, vou'll notice that the oppo- nent always hesitates a fraction of a second or so when this chin-sticking business is indulged in. and that gives the man pulling the stunt. more time to get away. Mandell will not hesitate \!‘ himself getting hit Canzoneri is good at infighting, but here again he will be against a fellow who will outweigh him, even though oniy slightly, and who knows how to handle his sdversary when theyre at | close quarters. Will Tony’s unhampered | strength carry him through against | Mandell's possibly slightly weakened | condition due to weightmaking? (Copyright, 1929. by North American News- | paper Alliance.)
