CANZONERI-M’LARNIN BOUT FRIDAY HAILED AS ‘NATURAL’
GRAND VETS
IN TOP FORM
Large Gathering of Fans
To Turn Out For
Battle
By HABBY GBAYSON
Sports Editor NEA Service
NEW YORK May 7. Well Tony
Canzoneri finally has gotten around
to Jimmy McLarnin.
The two grand little veterans are
down for ten rounds at the Garden
on May 8 and Tony finds himself
about to tackle the fellow he al-
ways wanted to meet but a fel-
low with whom for various rea-
sons his manager Sammy Gold-
man refused to dicker.
The ten rounds will be enough
for Canzoneri. Goldman who un-
til now refused to match Tony
with the baby-faced Mick because
of the Irishman’s weight advant-
age wouldn’t stand for 15.
Canzoneri hasn’t been knocked
out or stopped in 11 years of stir-
ring warfare but I have an idea
be will be tagged for keeps this
trip.
McLarnin with a 10-pound
weight pull is altogether too big
and hits too hard for the Canzoneri
of 1936. It might have been dif-
ferent three or four years ago but
much of the spring had disappear-
ed from Canzoneri’s legs when he
dropped the lightweight leadership
and those two hairline decisions to
Barney Ross in 1933.
Both are tired business men and
ready to retire— but both are great
drawing cards in Gotham and it
is only because Tony will share in
a big purse that Goldman permit-
ted his willing but fatigued charge
to enter the battle handicapped by
McLarnin’s weight advantage.

Records Prove Jimmy
Unaffected by Layoff
Supporters of the game little
Italian probably the busiest and
greatest fighter pound for pound
who ever stepped into the ring
point to the fact that the Van-
couver cherub 'doesn’t rate a fav-
orite role in the impending battle
due to his year’s layoff.
The reasoning however doesn’t
i hold water. McLamin is an amaz-
ing fighter in this regard. An idle
year had elaosed when he fought
and beat Young Corbett III for the
welterweight title. Jimmy was idle
for the same period of time between
that fight and the one he lost to
Barney Ross in 1934 — and none
could question his ability in that
battle regardless of his inactivity.
It was four months before he
agai nentered the ring and then
he won back the crown from Ross.
Eight months was the interval be-
fore he fought again and he drop-
ped his crown to Barney in their
third go.
Benny Leonard and others be-
lieve that McLamin’s weight pull
isn’t an advantage asserting that
being a counter-puncher he is a
standoff fighter who doesn’t use his
weight to wear down smaller oppo-
nents in the clinches.
But the records show that Jimmy
has had the edge in every one of
his important battles—against Bud j
Taylor as a featherweight Joe Glick
Billy Petrolle Al Singer and Sam-
my Puller as a lightie c d against
Ross as a welterweight.
• • •
Canzoneri in Condition
But Jimmy Is Fresher
Canzoneri has been mighty active
for the last year or so having en-
gaged in about fifteen battles all
of them old-fashioned barroom
brawls. While his constant activ-
ity should have rounded him into
shape it also has taken something
from his aging pins.
McLamin on the other hand
has been resting his physique and
even with the poor sparring part-
ners who usually clutter up his
camp he should be in fresher con-
dition. and less finely trained than
little Tony.
The Italian’s retrieval of the
lightweight title by temporarily
ruining Lou Ambers was a great
fight. But his recent tilt with
Johnny Jadick although he did cut
up his foe showed nothing c' the
viciousness of the Canzoneri at-
tack that is characteristic of the
slambang little brawler.
Both men undoubtedly have slow-
ed up and the loser is sure to hang
up his gloves—but as aged as they
are they ?re tops among the little
men—with the exception of Ross
who has fought them both.
Barney probably better fitted
than any other man to judge the
two participants — having fought
'Canzoneri twice and McLamin
three times picks McLamin to
win.
Which makes this observer’s se-
lection doubly safe.

BABE DIDRIKSON
GLENDALE Calif. May 6. (JP)
—Golfdom’s Hole-in-One club
had a new member Thursday in
the person of Mildred Babe
Didrickson.
The long-driving Babe prac-
tically christened the new 105-
yard third hole at the Oakmont
Country club Wednesday the
first ace of her career since she
took up golf.
In fact Texas’ famed woman
athlete and her playing partner
MacDonald Smith noted profes-
sional were invited to help cele-
brate the opening of the three
new holes at the club the third
being one of them.
Miss Didrickson went on to
shoot a 76 in a stiff wind while
the veteran Smith took a 73.
Men’s par for the 18 holes is 70.

ALEX MORRISON says:
Too many players are con-
cerned about making a stylish fol-
low through. Oddly few experts
have a good looking finish to their
swings. The answer is—there is
only one thing after impact that
matters and it is the position of
your head. w
If your hitting position is not
correct it can’t help your shot
one bit to have a good looking
finish. Instead of worrying about
a finishing position or attempting
to pose you’ll find it more prac-
tical and profitable to concentrate
on keeping your chin pointed at
the spot where the ball was. This
will improve every earlier stage
of your swing.
The rule is that the efficiency
of your swing until after the ball
has been hit can be no greater
than the control you exercise over
your head position. No matter
how much you are tempted to do
things with your hands or the dub
through the hitting area give
most of your attention to your
head and the swing as a whole.
Next week: an exercise to de-
velop the left side.

8-7 game from the Reds though
touched for nine hits beat th«
Pirates in the tenth 3-2 anc
blanked Brooklyn with three hits.
Wednesday he survived one of th(
most vertiginous games of them all
to beat the Phillies 3-2 even though
his teammates failed to support hii
good pitching.
The me half of “Me and Paul’
granted only seven hits and whiffed
eight but went into the ninth a
run behind as Charley Gelbert’s
homer was the only run off Buckj
Walter. Then Joe Medwick singled
and came all the way home wher
Jose Gomez made a titanic wild
heave of Johnny Mize’s grounder.
One Pitch Loses
Intentional passes crammed the
corners and Curt Davis lost the
game with one toss after he re-
placed Walter—a throw to the
outfield instead of first.
Although the Dean-Walter duel
was outstanding in the National
league where slugging marked the
triumphs of the Cubs Giants and
Dodgers there was plenty of fine
flinging in the junior circuit.
Monte Pearson set the pace when
he limited the champion Tigers to
three blows and took a big part in
the slugging that brought the Yanks
a 14-3 triumph. Johnny Marcum
hurled the first complete game for
the Red Sox a seven-hitter that
beat the Browns 7-4 for their tenth
straight loss. Johnny Allen of
Cleveland also hurled seven hit ball
and fanned six to trim the Athletics
7-1 while Ted Lyons of the White
Sox outlasted three Washington
flingers to gain a 5-1 decision.
Seven elbowers participated in
the ten inning Giants-Pittsburgh
struggle which New York won 6-5
on hits by Jimmy Ripple and Gus
Mancuso. Tex Carleton had only a
couple of bad innings against the
Bees but he finally was yanked to
save Chicago’s lead in the ninth
and let the Cubs win 8-6. George
Earnshaw however did very well by
himself and the Dodgers limiting
the Reds to seven blows for a 5-2
triumph that broke Brooklyn’s six-
game losing streak.
Officers Elected
By Festival Singers
The regular annual meeting of
the festival singers was held Mon-
day night May 4 at the home of
Henri Piller director 765 Highway
No. 4. Every member attended and
plans were discussed for the com-
ing season and officers for the com-
ing season appointed.
Emmett Sewell was named presi-
dent of the club for the ensuing year.
Other officers are Mrs. Vivian Mc-
Nair vice president and Mrs. Emma
Monsees secretary and treasurer.
Henri Piller was unanimously re-
elected director. Walter Galloway
C. H. Colgin and Leon Wray were
named on the publicity committee.
Piller reported on the activities of
the past season which he stated was
exceptionally satisfactory both on
the point of performance and fi-
nancially. A crowd at the final con-
cert of the club April 27 netted the
club sufficient to cover all outstand-
ing indebtedness. Plans for the fu-
ture include a fall concert and pres-
entation of an oratorio later to be
selected and presented at Christ-
mas time in one of the churches here.
The United States exported more
than 80500000 linear feet of sound
and silent motion pictures in the
first six months of 1932.

Homer In Tenth With Two
On Wins 6-3 For
Beaumont
(By The Associated Press)
A circuit drive with two on in the
tenth inning gave Beaumont a 6-3
win over Oklahoma City Wednesday
night and put the Exporters back in
the Texas League lead.
Frankie Croucher second base-
man hammered out the homer after
the teams had battled on even terms
for nine innings. The Exporters
scored their first three rims in the
second and the Indians counted one
in each of the third fifth and sixth.
The Dallas Steers tumbled from
first place as manager Ira Smith
hurled seven-hit ball to give the
Houston Buffs a 3-1 victory. The
Buffs made their runs in a fourth-
inning uprising that featured heavy
slugging off Curtis Fullerton.
Lanky Joe Gibbs won his third
straight victory for the Galveston
Buccaneers by hurling six-hit ball
to down the Fort Worth Cats 4-2.
His mates bunched five hits for three
runs in the eighth.
The San Antonio Missions despite
Tulsa’s five-run rally which featur-
ed a homer by Howell with the bases
full in the ninth defeated the Oilers
8-7. Abe Miller was credited with his
fourth victory of the season but
Hunter was sent to the mound to re-
tire the last man after Howell hit
his homer.
