» SP ORTS THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1933 SPORTS 'S Ross Dethrones Canzoneri as Lightweight King : Sharkey, Carnera Tapering Off YOUTH GAINS EDGE IN VICIOUS BATTLE Referee Calls It Draw, but Judges Decide in Favor of Challenger. BY WILLIAM WEEKES, Associated Press Sporgs W HICAGO, June 24.—Barney Ross—born Bernard Ros- sofsky 22 years ago—has ended the rule of.Tony| Canzoneri, one of boxing's-grand- ! est champions, over the world's lightweights. Only three years away from amateur and Golden Gloves triumphs, the handsome Jewish youth from Chicago’'s Ghetto last night worked out just enough of a margin over the New York Ital- ian after 10 rounds of bitter, vi- cious fighting to win the l35~’ pound title. The fight was so close that Referee | Tommy Gilmore called it a draw. How- | ever, the judges, Edward Hintz and | William A. Battye, figured that Ross' | edge was enough to take the title away | from Canzoneri The disappointingly small crowd of | 11,204 spectators cxpressed very definite | disapproval of the verdict, but later | cheered the home boy who had upset | the fighter who has been characterized | as the best in the world, pound for pound. Canzoneri heard the decision with an expression of shocked amazement. His | famous grin faded and was replaced by a look of bewilderment as he realized that the title he won three years ago from Al Singer and defended ageinst | Kid Chocolate, Billy Petrolle and Jack | (Kid) Berg had been taken from him. | HE new champion, nervous and | fidgety as he awaited the verdict, | capered about the ring in his hap- | pincss as he heard himself proclaimed. After an_experimental first round. | Canzoneri, making Ross fight almost as he wished, went right out after a knock- out. He battered the young Chicagoan about with stinging rights to the head and jaw, but could not make him hold still for a knockout punch. Ross. how- ever, was following instructions, and even when tempted to slug with the grinning, bobbing title holder, refrained until the seventh round. By that time lcanwnerl had built up a respectable lead | Apparently figuring that Ross was as | tired as himself, and that his lead | would stand, the champion started to | coast. Ross wes on him like a hawk, | firing steaming left hooks into his face | and scoring with his right. Canzoneri, | tiring, but still cunning, attempted to | slow Ross down in the eighth by tieing him up after brief exchanges, only to have the youngster pile in with both hands, outscore him and make him miss. Inspired by his success in the seventh, eighth and ninth, Ross let go with everything in the final stand Canzoneri almost matched him, but was _just short of break. i 0SS was born on New York's East Side, but was brought to Chicago when he was 2 years old. He | fought through shoolboy battles and | into amateur ranks where he showed such exceptional promise that he was induced to become professional by Sam Pian and Art Winch, his co-managers. | To win a chance at the champion- thip he turned in decisive victories over Bat Battalino, the tough Hartford, Conn., Ttalian, and Billy Petrolle, the much toupher old gentleman from Fargo, N. Dak., who failed to lift the title from Canzoneri Canzoneri, according to the new title holder, may have a return match any time. His management, however, plans to reap something in addition to lory, before putting the title on the lock Canzoneri was guaranteed 40 per cent of the receipts. amounting to around $18.000.

RANGEBURG, N. Y., June 24 (). —Jack Sharkey, heavy- weight boxing champion, today received word from Boston that one of his children was seriously ill and immediately left by automobile for his home, disrupting training for his forthcoming 15-round title bout with Primo Carnera Sharkey had just come back from an early-morning jaunt through the hills, when the telephone call came, and he wasted little time in chang- ing his clothes and leaving the camp. As his car pulled out of the drive- way Sharkey velled back that he would return fonight if. the child's telephone call led him to believe. Sharkey is at a critical stage of his training for his first title de- fense Thursday night in New York. and attempts were made to dissuade him from going home, but he would not listen. NEWTON, Mass.. June 24 (P — Members of the family of Jack Sharkey, who was summoned home by telephone from his training camp at Orangeburg, N. Y. because of the illness of his child, said today that neither of the three children was ill. Mrs. Sharkey, aiso. was in good health and was shopping in Boston Both Ross, Tony Say They Let Up the Associated Press. HICAGO, June 24—What the boxers, referee and a member of the Illinois State Athletic Commission thought about Barney Ross' victory over Tony Canzoneri: Ross: “I beat Tony and fought just as I planned. He was a great champion and I am going to be a great one, too. Figured he was ahead? Say, 1 coasted myself in those closing rounds. He can have a return match any time he wants it.” Canzoneri: “The decision was the surprise of my entire boxing career. Honestly, I thought I was so far ahead of Ross that I coasted in the eighth and ninth and did not extend myself in the tenth.” Referee Tommy Gilmore, himself a former boxer: “I called it a draw because Ross' margin was so slight. I think a challenger should win so decisively that there is no question when a championship is at stake.” Packey McFarland, member of the Illinois State Athletic Commission and one of the greatest lightweights of all times: “The decision was right. Ross won by & good margin.” By 100,000 PRO TENNIS OFFER LURES VINES Reported in Tentative Pact’ With Tilden for Tour After Title Tourney. By the Associated Press.

OGER PEACOCK, 22-year- old District amateur golf champion, black - haired stylist of the links, has won his first big invitation golf | tournament, thereby bringing grief to those loyal gents at the | Congressional Country Club who ‘had hoped—and nearly prayed— |that a Congressional entry would | win the President’s trophy. Roger, who never before had won an invitation event, about the Capital, al- | though he spread-eagled the field in the | District title event last September, beat Luther C. Steward, jr. of Congres- sional late yester- day, 3 and 1, in s nretty a golf match as you could wish to ‘see—a match that had the gal- lery palpitating and g£asping as the tide of battle surged from one raven- haired contestant to the other. Al- though Steward never could quite | get back all of the taree-hole deficit which he incurred Rorer Peacock, When the Indian | | Spring entry won the opening trio in the final maich, he | made a game and gallant try which | failed only by an eye-lash of squaring | the match before the first nine holes | was over. | | Steward. who tied with John Con- nolly of Rock Creek Park for the qual- ifying medal on Tuesday, beat Maurice Nee of Columbia in the semi-final by scoring a bird 3 on the eighteenth green, while Nee's putt for a half hung on_the lip of the cup. | Peacock gave John C. Shorey of Ken- wood an artistic trimming in the other | semi-final, winning by 5 and 3. They | met in the final, these two lads who | never before had gone to the ultimate | | round in a local invitation tourney, and Congressional and Indian Spring split | | their time-honored friendship for the | | afternoon to root for the home lad. TEWARD, 25-year-old son of “Pop” | Steward. beloved member of the host_club, was erratic on the first three holes, losing them all to par golf by Peacock. But he quickly gathered his forces together to halve the next two holes, one of them in birdies, and grab a birdie 3 for a win at the sixth, where he laid a pitch shot inside of the fine shot of Peacock. Steward then won the seventh to be only 1 down, but he gave Peacock a gieal opening at the eighth, which the Indian Spring star couldn't take advantage of. Roger | needed only two putts from 12 feet to | win with a 5 but he took 3 in his at- | tempt to play the ball too safe. So they | went on to the long thirteenth with each hole halved. | At this long hole Peacock dumped a mashie-niblick shot 8 feet from the hole and sank the putt for a winning birdie 14, putting him 2 uj But he couldn't hold the lead. He skied his spoon shot at the fourteenth and lost the hole to Steward’s par 3, only to win the next with a par 4 when Steward's tee shot hit a bunker and hopped over. Two | down with 3 to go, Steward had a great | chance to grab the sixteenth, but he topped his iron second and the hole was halved in 4s, although Peacock drove into the rough and couldn't reach the green in 2 They went to the seventeenth with Peacock dormie 2 up. Here Steward, boldly trying to lay a pitch shot dead, found the bunker at the right. Peacock, nicely on the green in 2, won the hole with a par 4 and the match was over. Peacock’s victory won for him the biggest tournament in point of numbers held about Washington this year.

By the Assoc EW YORK, June 24—Jack Sharkey and Primo Car- nera enter the last stages of training today for their. 15-round heavyweight champion-* ship bout in Madison Square Gar- den’s Long Island City Bowl next Thursday night. Down to 206 pounds and in ex- cellent shape, Sharkey plans to box six rounds daily starting to- day and winding up on Tuesday, but Carnera will take it easier. The mammotn Italian, fearing stale~ ness, expects to go through only two more boxing workouts, today and to- morrow, and then will take only the lightest sort of exercise until the night of the bout. Primo scales 262 pounds now, 3 pounds under his best fighting weight.

THE nEWS OF STeve BRODIES EXPLOIT REACHES THE PROVINCES PORT LANT BY ALAN GOULD: T may turn out, as Big Bill Tilden suggested, that the principal menace to our gal- lant lads in the Davis Cup matches next month will not be little Henri Cochet of France, but big Jack Crawford of Australia. Separately, of course, each may prove t0 be considerable of a stumbling block to Vines, Allison, Van Ryn and Lott They are handicapped, however, by lack of solid support, whereas the U. A is equipped for the briskest kind of a tennis battle at every stage of the pro- ceedings. Crawford boy,” confides observer, Melvin White- “has come out like a flower with the noonday sun; and if he isn't at present the world's No. 1 or No. 2, he isn't further down the ladder than No. 3. e came here for the first time five years ago with Harry Hopman, but he never did much. He had the class, but not the quality nor the seeming desire to win. This year he has all. “Cochet, like the old gray mare, ain’t what he used to be. The days when Henri could drop two sets with perfect confidence he could win in five are gone. Vines shook his confidence, and he hasn't regained it. His backhand is miserable, his precision shaky, and the old genius which beat Tilden has es- caped. His match with Crawford re- minded me of the heart-breaking matches in which Big Bill tried to summon all his old wizardry to beat this same Cochet “The French say, and among them Lacoste, that Henri has passed the age when he can go in there and win without careful training. Perhaps. They think that he can regain his old form by hard work. Perhaps, again. “But in the first set of the Crawford match Cochet never was better. He was in perfect physical condition. He flashed what he had, but when Jack sent them back shot for shot Henri had misgivings. His confidence slipped. “I don’t see how France can hold the big cup this year. Britain, Australia or the U. S. A. appear capable of lift- ing it. A miracle kept the cup here ast year, and miracles as a rule don't come two years in succession.” High Hopes in Golf. NROM the way eur amateur golf- [-4 ing talent has bews coming along this year, th@ bring back another National Amateur Gc Championship Cup. Unlike the Davis Cup, it hasn't been away long or often, but for the time being Ross (Sandy) Somerville of London, Ontario, is the possessor. Johnny Goodman, the 1932 fiinalist and new open champion, quite naturally will be the chief hope of the homebreds. The N braskan has his heart and ambi tion set on winning the amateur tithe. Gus Moreland, the tall Texas youth made u fine impression in the open, finishing obly nine shots behind Good- man in four rounds of medal play. Johnny Fischer, the college champion, who will be very much at home at Cin- cinnati, also has the shots and the ex- perience now to come through. The Turnesas of Elmsford, N. Y., are groom- ing their sensational 17-year-old, Willie Turnesa. for the big amateur party. L 1g place in the National Ama- teur match-play field, but he's a_year older and a loi better now. He played the best ball of Horton Smith and Ed Dudley even during the pro-amateur hes before the Ryder Cup team sailed Goodman, Fischer and Turnesa were not on the 1932 Walker Cup team, and Moreland was a belated selection for it, but these four youngsters figure to be just about the toughest of any of the younger group to stop.

Golf Analyzed | BY JOE GLASS. HE duffer, finding himself slic- ing, is very likely to face around more toward the left, and to 4ry to hit the ball in that direction. The result is that he generally slices more than ever. But more than this he builds up a bad psychology. For, when he hits | toward the left, he hopes that if he does not obtain a straight ball his slice will at least be held in the fairway. He has, in fact, accepted a slice as being something that he cannot conquer. Tommy Armour has a good tip for such a player. If—as of course seldom happens — Tommy should find himself slicing, he takes care on his next shot to take a stance for playing right down the proper line of direction—not cne to the left. His bedy is lined up parallel with the line of cirection. Then he picks out a point to the right of the di on line, where the ball would g0 if it were sliced, and hits toward that point. That is, he swings from the inside to the outside of the direction line. He now produces either a straight ball or one with a sligit hook. This method of curing a slice is like Bobby Jones' method of curing a hook—that is, hitting toward a point where you don't want the ball to go. The important thing to watch, though, is that you don't change your stance from the stance you use when you expect to play straight down the fairway.
