B—10 s PORTS. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MAY 19, 1935—PART ONE. SPORTS. Washington Ring Critics Leaning Toward Klick in Battle With Canzoneri TONY'S NEXT FOF NOTLIKE AMBERS Lightweight Champ Won't Find Frankie’s Style Made to Order. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. ONY CANZONERI, according to New York observers who have been watching the doughty little Italian during the major portion of his lengthy ring career, was a better fighter when he whipped Lou Ambers a few days ago than at any time during the last two or three years. But in the face of this bouquet the two-fisted lightweight | Sports Crown champion very possibly may enter the ring at Griffith Stadium on June | 10 no better than an even-money shot ‘ to beat Frankie Klick. Without even waiting for the great lightweight rivals to arrive, set up | training camps, and taper off for the big 12-round Shrine battle, many of | the local ring| colony already are predicting a victory for Klick, | the nandsome California Pole| who now rates | No. 2 on the lightweight list. | Especially are the | men who pilot | fighters of their | own swinging to . the side of Klick and the majority | furnish three reasons. First is cited Klick's style, | i which is entirely Frankie Kliok- gifferent from that of Ambers. A wunter-puncheri and not a stiff socker at that, Ambers fought the kind of fight that Wls‘ made to order for Canzoneri when the former New Orleans bootblack | became the first man in all fistiana | to win back the 135-pound diadem. | Ambers impressed as being a better | fighter than the lop-sided scoresheets showed. If he fought Canzoneri again very likely he would make it much closer. Saved Underpinning. HE only uncertain point nhuut Canzoneri in his scrap with | Ambers seemed to be his legs. After 10 years of high-class ring war- | fare, legs begin to go. Tony wisely | saved his pins against Ambers. While Lou danced in a circle, Canzoneri ! stood in the center of the ring, waited for Ambers to get within range, and | then shooting a snaky left jab and | a right cross. Ambers’ plan of battle | 135-pounder in the world. | While not a terrific puncher, Klick is a two-fisted, walk-in-and-slug Qype of battler. To remain in one spot &s he did against Ambers might be difficult for Canzoneri on June 10 agatnst a fighter of Klick’s type. And fighting in a long battle against a | ranking foe for the second ume) Within a month may be more than | the veteran Canzoneri's legs care to | take. o, The fight crowd always likes the ‘hungry” fighter, and this is a sec- | ond theory advanced by those who | think Klick is in the right spot. Not | that Frankie is starving but, unlike ‘Tony, he has no $300,000 plus in the | bank, half a dozen clothing stores, { and a 4l-acre estate. Klick never has won a major championship. Can- zoneri has worn four crowns. To Klick this fight means far more than it does to Tony. A defeat auto- matically would shove Frankie from immediate consideration as the logical 135-pound contender. Klick's Luck | All Bad. UPERSTITION always has been | prominent in the fight game and | a third, if rather vague, reason ! for liking Klick revolves around the | old law of averages. Klick prob- &bly is one of boxing's most jinx- pursued scrappers. After a sensa- tional start in 1932 and a successful year in 1933, which was featured by & seven-round knockout over Kid Chocolate, Klick ran into hard luck last year. From out of nowhere Frankie Wallace appeared on the scene and eked out a 10-round deci- sion. Then Klick went right back and fought Barney Ross to a draw fight on the Coast. He seemed, finally, on the road to success. | Beaten by Canzoneri as a young- | ster, Klick tackled Tony again in 1934 and was holding his own for nearly ; B nine rounds. Then a glancing blow | opened a wicked eye cut and the fight was stopped. In the record books it goes kayoes do not help to build up a reputation. With his eye to hamper | him—and it still opens easily—Klick | then dropped a decision to Cleto Lo- catelli but gamely fought his way out of the rut by giving Harry Dublinsky | & thorough going over. That was in November, 1934. His only start since then was in Miami last Winter when he narrowly missed outpointing Bar- ney Ross. A little luck along the line and 1t might have been Klick who battled and beat Ambers for the title. Any- way, Klick thinks he is due a break from Lady Luck and there are many who agree, Both fighters are to begin training this week. Canzoneri is making his headquarters at his spacious Marl- boro, N. Y., “farm” while Klick will start at the Pioneer gymnasium in New York. Frankie is slated to com- plete training here two weeks prior to the fight. Canzoneri is expected here a week before the battle. John Barleycorn Goes for a Ride By the Associated Press. NDIANAPOLIS, May 18.— Red lights flashed a danger warning and 25,000 racing fans shouted “where’s the accident” today when an ambulance roared into the track at the Indianapolis motor speed- way and made two complete cir- cuits of the 2% -mile course. But when the ambulance pulled into the pits police arrested the driver. He was Harold Laxen, 27, of Indianapolis, and he had “swiped” the car when the at- tendant left it a few minutes. Russell Carlisle, a deputy sheriff, took” the would-be ambulance driver for another ride—to jail— and said charges of intoxication, vehicle taking and disorderly con- duct would be placed against him. Several racing cars were on the track warming up for qualification trials for the 500-mile Memorial day rece here when Laxen made his wild drive. A gate attendant said he let the car go through be- cause he thought it was a call on an accident, { ted. down as a knockout und\s BUCK EVERETT, Who will be wearing the mythical District heavyweight boxing crown a week from tomorrow when he faces Natie Brown in a return 10- round battle at Griffith Stadium that will open the outdoor ring season. Everett received official recognition as new champion by the District Boxing Commission last week following his victory over Brown in their previous match. HONORS DIVIDED IN EQUINE SHOW Bruce, Doak, Walker, Riggs | Horses Take Ribbons at Doughregan. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, Jr,, Staft Correspondent of The Star. OUGHREGAN MANOR, Md, May 18.—On the same cush- ioned turf where their fore- fathers rode in pre-Revolu- tionary deys, the hunting folk of How- ard County put twoscore 1935 modell cross-country horses through their | | paces here today before a crowd of | 1,500 that overflowed the lawns of | this historic estate. | Once the property of Charles Car- | roll, ‘one of the Free State's signers ‘,or the Declaration of Independence, | the handsome manor grounds offered |an ideal setting as the men, women |and children who hunt the fox in Maryland gathered to show what | | their favorite mounts could do. 1 | There were no signs of fat and | pampered show pets around here in | | any of the 20 classes, but some good | | horses to hounds were on hand to be | | beaten .and few would ask for bener‘ | transportation in the field than could | | be supplied by such stout fencers as| | Col Sloan Doak’s Octavia and Howard | Bruce's Royal Mystery, the outstand- | | ing winners of the d Octavia Has Big Day. CTAVIA won the ladies’ hunter, and touch end out classes, and | was placed second to Royal Mys- tery in the contest for qualified hunt- | ers, after having beaten that one by a | narrow margin in the ladies’ division. Royal Mystery not only accounted for | the two hunter ribbons, but scored | handily amongst a group of thorougkh bred saddle horses in the morning | session. | WALTERS WINS OWN BATTLE FOR PHILS Ex-Third Baseman Pitches Well, | Hits in Lone Run Against Cubs in Tenth.

By a fiuke, the triple triumph did mot cinch ownership of the T.| Stockton Matthews Trophy awarded in this class, although it is supposed | | to become the permanent property of any one winning it thrice.

Y, May 18.—After first deciding to hold the Carnegie Cup Regatta races tomorrow, Sunday, athletic di- rectors of Yale, Princeton, Navy and Cornell changed their minds tonight and cancelled for this year the regatta postponed tonight because of rough water and dark- ness. After returning in the black of night from the wind tossed waters of Lake Cayuga with 1,600 other shivering and disappointed celebrants of Cornell's annual Spring day festivities, the officials held a second meeting after their impromptu decision made earlier to try again Sunday. Malcolm Farmer, for Yale; Lieut. Comdr. J. H. Brown, for undefeated Navy; Dr. Duncan Spaeth for Princeton, and Prof. Herman Diederichs for Cornell, issued the following statement: “The regatta could not be rowed today. Because of the rule of some of the colleges against corpetition and because of con- flict with imminent examinations at others, it is found impossible to stage the Carnegie Cup neu at_any other time or place this year.” Fort Riley Gets Olymplc Berths By the Associated Press. UNCTION CITY, Kans, May 18—Riders from Fort Riley made a clean sweep of the first four places in the three-day test for positions on the 1936 Olympic team, it was announced at the close of competition here between officers from Fort Sill, Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth. First place on the team which will represent the United States in Berlin went to Lieut. C. W. A. Raguse, riding Trailoka: Lieut. L. L. Doan, riding Adalid, and Lieut. Henri A. Luebberman, rid- ing Podhorski, tied fér second and third. Fourth was Lieut. Milton A. Acklen, riding Recoil. OWENS RUNS WILD AS BUCKEYES WIN TBeats One World Mark, Ties Another, Shatters Two Meet Records. By the Associated Press. VANSTON, I, May 18.— Spectacular Jesse Owens un- limbered his long, brown legs today to better one world rec- ord, match another, and ruin a pair of meet marks, as he carried Ohio State to an easy triumph over Wis- consin, Northwestern and Chicago, in their annual quadrangular track and field party at Dyche Stadium. The irrepressible sophomore Negro | started his afternoon by equalling | Frank Wykofl's world record of 9.4 seconds for the 100-yard dash. Then, in between turns at the broad jump- ing pit, Owens raced 220 yards in 20.7 seconds, only a tenth of a sec- | ond slower than Roland Locke’s world standard, and followed up with a breath - taking flight over 220 yards of low hurdles in 22.9 seconds, a tenth | of a second faster than the accepted world record set by Iowa's Charlie | Brookins in 1924, and tied by Norman | Paul of California in 1933. Trails Only in Jump. NLY in the broad jump, his fav- O vorite event., did the Buckeye speedster disappoint a crowd of 2,000 spectators. They came out to see a world record, but were only | partly satisfied when he won the, | event with a leap of 25 feet, 5 1-16 | inches. His broad jump ubhl&l'lted | the former meet record of 23 feet, | 8 5-8 inches, established by John Brooks, Chicago Negro, in 1932. His time in the 220-yard dash erased the standard for the meet of 21.5 sec- onds, set by a Buckeye star of other days, George Simpson. Owens’ brilliant performances pro- vided 20 of Ohio State’s total of 69' points. Wisconsin, packing its punch in the quarter mile, high hurdles and fleld events, was second with 543 points; Northwestern had 33%, and Chicago wound up with 4%. He achieved his brilliant accom- plishment in the century without the aid of starting blocks, and with just a suggestion of a breeze at his back.

AURORA, Ill, May 18 (#).—Before more than 15,000 spectators, the larg- est crowd of the present season, Friend Charley galloped to a surprise victory today. The son of Sir Greysteel-Ada May, racing for the Jewell Bros., of Lexington, Ky., equaled the track record for the Aurora course, by run- ning the 5'; furlongs in 1:05. Jockey R.

ANDWICHED between & couple of thousand single-spaced lines of typewritten paper, which is a carbon copy of Secretary Maj. | Heinie Miller’s first annual report of the District Boxing Commission, re- ' | leased yesterday, is an item that once and for all should kill the general idea here that the eight-ounce gloves prescribed by law are too billowy to satisfy the blood-thirsty boxing | bleacherite. | There was a general how! this time | 1ast year when the most liberal boxing lnw in the country contained a clause prescnblng eight-ounce mittens in- stead of the five or six-ounce gloves used by a majority of the States. The[ eneral idea the larger | glcves would make knockouts prohibi- | tive did not help the ring game any, | especially after Natie Brown and | Johnny Risko waltzed 10 rounds in | | the opening show without jarring their mouthpieces. Ten thousand people watched that show and it is not hard to believe that many have stayed away from local boxing shows ever since. And Figures Don't Lie. UT if eight-ounce gloves are knock- out-proof then Tony Canzoneri is a preliminary boy. Secretary Maj. Heinie Miller's figures show that an eight-ounce glove on the fist of | |a guy who can punch is about as| safe as jay-walking on Thirteenth and F. The big mittens prevent many of the cut eyes and lips inflicted by | five-ounce gloves; they do not prevent knockouts. A total of 588 bouts were fought | since legalization of boxing in the | District, according to commission fig- ures. This includes professional pre- liminaries and main events, amateur | and college bouts, white and colored. | And exactly 147 of these scraps ended in knockouts. | In other words one-fourth of the legalized tussles, all fought with eight-ounce gloves, have been terminated by knockouts.

Rex Mays, a blond boy from Los Angeles, Calif, brought 25,000 speed fans to their feet cheering when he | cracked the track record in his 25- | mile qualifying sprint by averaging | 120.736 miles an hour. The old rec- | ord wis established by Kelly Fetillo | another Los Angelan, who won the pole position in the 1934 race with | an average of 119.329 miles an hour. Mays, the 1934 Western driving champion, remarked after his mete- oric dash: “It was the easiest ride I ever had” The time trials brought a dozen drivers to the track. The qualifica- ‘uon tests consist of 10 laps around the 2'-mile course at a speed of better than 100 miles an our. Cummings Qualifies. ILD BILL"” CUMMINGS of Indianapolis, who won the 1934 race with the record- breaking average of 104.863 miles per hour, was one of today’s qualifiers Cummings, whose vocation is that of night club proprietor and whose avo- cation is riding noisy motorcycles and driving fast automobiles, made the | qualifying run at an average speed of ‘116901 miles an hour. Al Gordon, another Los Angeles | lad, came close to May's qualifying speed when he turned in an average of 119.481.
