Ross Terribly Beaten Armstrong gave Hohh such a terrihlo beating that Buruey, (he right side of his fuce swollen like a half-moon and IiIb eye tightly clenched, muttered in IiIh dressing room that he would never fight again. It waKii't Hohh' 28 yearn or f:ifl' ilig legs that cost him the title. It wnH a left hook that for 15 rounds ulmost ripped' his head from IiIh shoulders. For the last half of the fight he wan Intent only on lasting the fl.Kinnce. He tried to fight hack in flur ries, but his blows after the fifth round had nothing behind them. Armstrong, amazingly strong, merely bored In the harder. At the flnlBh he accepted his new championship completely unmark ed and hb fresh as paint, If he whips Amhonv Arm . strong will have captured cham pionships In three different weight divisions in less than a year. ' Winner Outweighed Last night the human pluwheel weighed 1334 to Boss' 112. Kven so, Armstrong was the stronger man every second of the way. He bulled Bobs about In the clinches and never allowed Barney to take tho play except for brier flurries. The only thing he lacked was u stiffening punch. The Associated BresH score Bhcet credited Armstrong with 11 rounds, Kohb with four, and one of those went to tho Jewish lad he cause Referee Arthur lionovan thought he had been struck low. After tho eighth round It. was all Armstrong. Several times Bar ney's managers begged him to quit, and at the start or the 12th round the referee added his plea, but Barney shook his bead and went out to take bis medicine. Rots' Defense Shattered The most surprising thing about the fight was Boss' (nubility to es capo Armstrong's left hooks to tho head. Those who hud establish ed Boss a 7-to-5 favorite in the betting bad hanked on IiIh ilefeii slve skill to thwart Henry's, at tack. But gradually (Iicho lefts wrenched Boss' fuce out of shape and left him all hut helpless. For the flint hutf. Armstrong mostly pumped his right Into Har ney's ribs. Slowly Barney's gniud cunio down to protect. IiIh Hide, and then tho dark destroyer blazed away at Barney's h'ft jaw. "I wasn't going to go out Ivlng down," Boss said laler. "Arm Htrong is a hell or a figh'er, but I would have got up It he hud knocked me down u dozen limes." l'nr from rinding Kohb IhiirIi,' Armstrong told iiewmnen It was one of his easiest lights. li hiiIiI Barney's blows never bolhered him,: oven In the opening round i when the heavier man was hind inS with everything he hud.

SALKM, .May 31 (AP) Twenty-one proposed initiative measures, which would do every thing from outlawing jurisdiction al luhor disputes to taxing in comes over $50,000 per year by 70 per cent, liuve been filed with the secretary of stale, but there is little chance many of them will be passed by the voters in the No- 'inher election. : It is unlikely that any more Initiatives will be ottered because i the completed petitions, bearing slgnu lures or 20.020 registered voters must lie tiled by July 7. (jetting that ntany signatures und complying with other sections of the Initiative law In less than two months Is hard to do. Oregon was the first slate to have the Initiative and referendum but Its voters, disliking laws that would take money from their pock ets, have not passed many initiatives. Most Initiatives Fail Out of many hundreds of initia tives which have been filed, only 173 ever reached the ballot. Of this number only 59 became law. The tendency of Oregon voters to reject initiatives has been more pronounced in recent years. Since l!17 they have passed 10 and vot ed ilown 3!). The initiative and referendum law- wus pussed in J!io2, and at that lime the rest of the nation looked ni)on Oregon as being a radical state because it gave so much pow er to its people. One reason that so many initia tives Tail to pass prohubly is be- muse voters don t understand them. So they vote "no" instead ol' taking chances on passing some thing about which they know no thing. Out of the 21 Initiatives this year, probably only live or six will have enough signatures to place them on the ballot. Proposals Listed Here is what' each initiative this year would provide: Pensions ol" 10 to S25 a week for voters over 50 years of nge, the money to he raised by stamps placed on warrants which would be put In circulation as money.
