AGAIN MASTER OF KLICK Lightweight Champion Has Easy Time in Scoring for Fourth Time. By the Associated Press. AN FRANCISCO, August 20.— ‘Tony Canzoneri, sturdy cham- pion of the lightweights, was a four-timg winner today over Frankie Klick of San Francisco, a persistent but thus far unsuccessful rival. Canzoneri, who had defeated Klick three times before, slashed out with a sustained body attack to gain an easy 10-round decision over the San Fran- cisco fighter here last night in their fourth meeting. The champion, whose title was not at stake, pressed the battle from the start and had a clear advantage in every round except the seventh when Klick rallied to outbox his opponent. The fight, sponsored by the San Francisco Press Club, dragged at times as Canzoneri appeared to rest on the wide margin he had piled up. He stirred the fans with a spirited drive for a knockout in the final round, however, but Klick managed to survive the session. Klick was jolted repeatedly by sharp blows to the body which drove him into cover whenever he attempted to take the offensive. He failed entirely to demonstrate the ability which caused | some ringsiders to believe he at least | earned a draw with Canzoneri in their third contest, which was held in Washington, D. C., last June. He had made himself good enough | for a title-battle chance with Teddy Yarosz. of the feature bout, in which Ken Overlin (right) took a unanimous de- cision from Joe Smallwood. —Star Staff Photo.

Since Docides He Doesn't Care to Meet | Rocksie is one of the few owner- ridden show animals around Wasfing- | ton, it is all the more pleasing to see | him scaling the heights. | Along that line it must be noted | | that the local shows are gaining some | ground toward the goal of owner par- | icipation.

The people who ride in horse shows presumably do so because they like it, or because they like to hang ribbons and cups and such all over their houses, so they deserve no sympathy.
