"Hack" Wilson, Cubs outfielder, here next month to determine the pugilistic worlds series. Both fighters will ap pear In dress suits before the show and autograph programs for their admirers. Babe Ruth may act as referee. And Promoter Jimmy Mullen, pro verbial hard-luck boy 6T the pro fession, may line his pockets with goodly sum. The battle la expected to deter mine the boxing supremacy of the two baseball clubs and will bring Into the open many fans whose pocketbooks usually regained un tapped after the world series.

LLOYD AMBROSE TO CHANGE KIS NAME Becoming tired of ' having his brother steal his thunder, Lloyd Ambrose, twin brotlicr of Floyd, has changed his name and hence forth he ts to be billed as "Bobby ' Ambrose. It Is virtually Impossible for the ordinary spectator to de termine which is which of the two scrappers and a similarity in names has added to the confusion. Con sequent ly the wrong boy Is often given credit for winning a battle or losing one. "Bobby" has shown a great deal of Improvement In the last few weeks and those who have htm in charge predict he will develop into ft real fighter. Persons who saw Amrbose fight at Hubbard a couple weeks ago said he handled himself like a veteran and shot his punches straight. Al though he closed his arversary's eyes the best he got out of it was draw. The Ambrose twins are just re covering from an attack of mumps. PETERSONS TO LEAVE Independence Mr. and Mrs. P. J.

PHONE 3652 McLarnin Beats Ruby In Decisive Manner; Fields Next On List New York (UP) Jimmy stood out Saturday as a truly welterweight championship of knockout victory over Ruby Gold stein of New York in Madison Square Garden Friday night. McLarnin flattened uoiastein after 52 seconds of fighting in the second round, having sent his op ponent to the floor twice previously With Jackie Fields, present holder of the 147 pound title, tossed out of the' ring for poor showing against Gorilla Jones up In Boston Friday night, McLarnin looms as a real threat for titular honors. The little "baby faced ' Irishman had everything necessary to defeat Goldstein, including two ready fists which quickly pummeled the pride of New York's eastslde into submis sion. Goldstein was accorded one of the greatest ovations ever given a fighter in a New York ring when he crawled through the ropes, but the cheers turned to Jeers as Ruby wilted under the two fisted attack of his eager opponent. The New Yorker, weighing 144!4. had half a pound advantage In weight. McLarnin quickly demon strated that he was Goldstein's master, forcing the fighting and winning the first round by a wide margin. Towards the end of the opening session, Ruby went down for a count of four, seemingly with out having taken a really hard punch. The second and decisive round did not last long. McLarnin came out confidently, and after maneu vering Goldstein into position, shot over a right which dropped Ruby through the ropes. The chances are that Goldstein never would have come back Into the ring had he not been shoved. As it was McLarnin swarmed all over him with both hands flaying head and body, and a right to the Jaw finally sent the New Yorker down for the long count.
