SAMMY LOOKS FOR GREATER FIGHT HONORS Mandell Preparing For Bigger Things In Fistic Way OHICAGO, Bept,. 18. Convinced that he again is his old time self, Ughtwelght champion Sammy Man- dell 1s ready to go after bigger things the principal ftem in the bleger things being the welterweight, cham- ship which Jackie Pields now holds, Mandell. believes he can whip Fields and there is no. denying that Sammy certainly is capable of giving Jackie a run for his money. Man- del's jubilant attitude is the result of the tine form he showed in his re- cent bout with Luls Vicentini, the Chilean. Sammy never looked better than he did against Vieentini and curiously enough in Vieentin showing followed the champion s worst, exhibition an exhibition which nearly cost him his tite, When Mandell went, into his title fight with Tony Canzoneri recently he 4 3-1 shot to win. Before the it was two roulids old there. were many in the crowd who wondered if Sammy could stay the limit, Can- zonert hit him more times in the first three rounds than anyone ever had Dut Sammy fisially got under way well enough to win the decision and save his ue.

He made the grade in two seasons, Mike Drennon once. more dropping into his life with an Athletic contract, Batting Improves Haas batting, never too impressive tn the minors, has improved greatly since he has been with the Macks. He eredits the tutoring of Eddie Collins. Haas used to hold his bet at the ex- treme end of the handle. Collins suggested choking 1t a bit. Haas found it helped him great deal.
