Former Feather Champion
After Lightweight Title
Sammv. the champion, and Tony, the challenger, meet over the
10-round route in Chicago August 2. with Sammy’s lightweight title
at stake.
By PAIL MIC KELSON
(.Associated Press Sports Writer)
CHICAGO. Aug 1.—{&>—'Tony
Canzoneri. the chesty little fight
ing machine from New York, braz
enly invades the senior lightweight
ranks August 2 in an attempt to
topple Sammy Mandell from his
rock ribbed throne.
The skirmish of flying fists will
be 10 rounds or less and will be de
cided in Paddy Harmon's stadium
before what Paddy hopes will be a
record throng of 23,000 cash cus
tomers.
It will be the third time in as
many years the ’Rockford siuek”
has defended his title, von from
Rocky Kansas in Chicago in 1923
Mandell, following the Kansas bout
which seme folks thought Rocky
couldn't have lost, steadily estab
lished himself by clean cut victories
over Phil McGraw and Jimmy Me
Lamm.
Although Canzoneri. the former
featherweight king pin. is fighting
the fastest and biggest man he
ever met. he is granted even a bet
ter chance to beat Mandell than
McOraw and McLamin. who were
routed by Sammy's steady fusillade
of blows. Canzonert is both a
shifty boxer and a puncher.
Since losing his featherweight
crown to Andre Routis of Prance
he entered the Junior- lightweight
division and defeated everything h3
met. In his last start he gave Mc
Oraw an even greater threshing
than Mandell administered.
Speed will be the champion’r
chief weapon. Pew fighters in any
class are faster than the clean-cut,
handsome title-holder. While he
does not pack a knockout punch,
he beats a tattoo on his opponent
with great effect and then dances
away out of danger. Seldom does
he stand still long enough to ab
sorb punishment, but when he does
he takes it. In his last fight with
Billy Petrolle he was floored for
a nine-count, but he won on his
aggressiveness and clean punching.

RESOLUTIONS
ARE AMENDED
Ask That $1,000,000 Fund
Be Used Along Entire
Mexican Border
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN, Aug. 1. — Resolu
tions passed at a mass meeting ol
citrus growers here Monday night
were amended Wednesday night at
the resolutions committee meeting,
upon suggestion of J. E. Bell, 8an
Benito chamber of commerce secre
tary. to extend the expenditure of
$1,000,000 to be asked of congress for
protection against the Mediterrane
an fruit fly.
The resolutions first were to ask
the sum for Texas only, but the re
vised form will ask that the money
be spent for protection along the
entire Mexican border from Browns
vtlle to San Diego, Calif. The fund
would be a supplementary budget
to guard particularly against Infes
tation from Mexico, which has n >
quarantine regulations. More care
ful inspection of baggage from Mex
ico for host fruits is also asked in
the resolutions.
Mass Meeting Planned
A mass meeting was arranged by
telephone Thursday to be held at
Laredo Monday night at the Hamil
ton hotel, where Valley men will ex
plain the situation to Laredo grow
ers in order that the latter may
understand why they should re
quest to be included in the quaran

ment of agriculture Thursday.
P A. Hoidale, U. S. inspector m
charge of the Mediterranean fly
quarantine from New Mexico to
Florida, returned to the Valiev
Thursday after an inspection of the
citrus areas in his district.
Valley Guarded
The Valley Is more closely guard
ed against the Mediterranean fruit
fly than any other citrus section in
the United States. Hoidale said.
Principally, this is true, he explain
ed. because of the quarantine
against the Morelos fly which has
been in effect. There is at present
no Infestation of the Mediterranean
fly outside of Florida, he added, bu-.
the danger is to be faced as soon
as the citrus season starts there.
That the Valley will get unus
ually good price for its citrus this
year was predicted by Hoidale. He
said that Florida will not be allowed
to ship citrus into the Southern
states, opening a vast new field for
shipments from the Valley.
M. H. Ford is inspector incharge
of the quarantine enforcement in
the Valley during Hoidale's trips of
inspection .
