		Jackie's goal had always been the lightweight championship and he devoted the rest of 1930 to cleaning out the lightweight division in hopes of a shot at the (then) more legitimate lightweight crown.

		Berg replied: “I went over to him but he couldn’t talk.

		Charles Lindbergh's The Spirit of St. Louis (Charles Scribners, 1953) "is one of the few books written by a celebrity that won and deserved to win the Pulitzer Prize," says A. Scott Berg, whose own biography, Lindbergh (G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1998), also won the Pulitzer.
		Berg's biography, destined to become a classic itself, is the only one of the 30-some books published about the aviator to have plumbed the archive of the Lindberghs' unpublished papers, which reside at Yale University.
		In addition to receiving permission from the pilot's wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, to quote from the archive, Berg interviewed her and the Lindbergh children, and that enabled him to present a rich picture of the aviator's life, including his loving but troubled marriage.

		In January 1930 Berg decisioned Canzoneri over 10 rounds in Madison Square Garden in a huge fight.
		They rematched 15 months later with the world lightweight and junior welterweight titles on the line and Canzoneri came through like the future hall of famer he was, beating up Berg and flattening him with a right hand in the third round.
		Canzoneri did enough over the distance to take the 15-round decision and although between the two of them Canzoneri and Berg would fight on for years and against hundreds of opponents, they never again fought one another.
