Paris, August 13:
A world Bght-weight title fight between Kid Berg, of Stenney, and the champion. Teny Canzoneri, was definitely arranged this morn- ing,
The bout, which will take place at the White City on September 14,
will be over fift in rounds. The terms agreed to are £12,000 for Canzoneri and 12% per cent., of the gate for Berg..
Arrangements for the fight were concluded after a long-distance telephone conversation between Mr. Jeff Dickson, the promoter, and Canzoneri's manager.. One of the difficulties which had to be surmounted was the fact that Can- zoneri had a contract with the Madison Square Garden author- ities.

Paris, August 14,
Tony Canzoneri, the world's light-weight champion, will sail for England at the beginning of next month to prepare for his title fight with Kid Berg at the White City, London, which has been ar ranged by Mr. Jeff Dickson.

Berg came back to England in ALMOST CERTAIN TO

claims to hold. But the great events of his career have occur- red in America. Barg is the lead- er of British boxing, even though for so long he has been absent.
Will the match be a financial success? I am told that the low- est price of admission is to be 35.. Gd.. and that, based on an attend- ance of 50,000, there should be a good margin of profit.

There is no doubt that Berg was overwrought, both montally and physically, when he went.into that contest. He had fought every week or so with few periods of reat, and he trained so fercely that his vitality was supped.
