Ambers has skyrocketed into the fistic spotlight with startling sud denness. Six months ago he was merely a preliminary performer in eastern rings and had never fought a main event at Madison Sq.

Ambers was first to file a chal lenge, accompanied bv the required certified cheek for $2,500, so the solons recognized him as one of the contenders, along with Canzoneri, Fuller and Klick. However, none of the last trio would agree to fight the youngster, so by this bloodless process of elimination Lou Ambers became thrNo. 1 challenger for the lightweight title. As soon as he had been desig nated as the man Ross must meet, the champion began to avail him self f various pretexts to avoid fighting Ambers; as a result, he was suspended by the N. Y. Commission.

Ambers proceeded to hand Dublinsky a terrific pasting and won a one-sided verdict over the man who had trounced Canzoneri and Ross. Ambers can box and he can fight. He is the trickiest defensive boxer to come up in many moons, and has a style reminiscent of Memphis Pal Moore, Bushy Graham' and Jimmy Slattery, holding his hands low and slipping punches by moving his head to either side. He is a pretty good puncher, but is - handicapped by brittle hands. Mark .my words Ross will never fight Ambers unless absolutely forced to do se. Cwjtlfht. II J J. Kluf rtunt St41U. Im.
