I. president of the National Boxing al locution, announced today he had suspended Barney Roe, lightweight and new welterweight champion, for failure to honor a contraot lp Fort Worth, Texas. By ALAN GOULD AMOdated Press Sporta Editor NEW YORK, May 30. (AP) Blaolc- haired, flashing-eyed Barney Rosa, aensatlonal Jewish fighter born on New York's teeming East Side but reared to ring greatness aa a product of Chicago's West Bide Ohetto, stood out today aa a double champion on a pinnacle never before scaled In boxing history. The 36-year-old Chicago youth. with a speed that was as dazzling s the courage with which he slugged toe to toe with his hard-nittuig rival. thrilled a vast crowd in Madison Sauare Garden bowl, Long Island, last night by battering Jimmy Mc Larnln to defeat In IS stirring rounds and thereby added the world's wel terweight championship to the light weight title he has held for a year. Blxty-flve thousand fans, nearly filling the arena, roared their ac claim aa the gallant youngster who ended the domination of McLarnln over a long line o( Jewish boxers with a rousing finish and shattered fistic precedent that has been long. standing. It was not a one-sided victory for Ross, nor without Its dispute after a savage duel from which both emerged bleeding and somewhat bat tered. Two of the three officials gave the lightweight king a wide margin, and to the majority of ob servers it appeared that Bounding Barney had decisively outboxed Mc Larnln. Referee Eddie Forbes cast the de ciding vote In favor of Ross after the two Judges, Tom O'Rourke, old time manager and promoter, and iarold Barnes, disagreed. There was no doubt In Forbes' mind, however, for the veteran ref eree scored 13 for Ross, scored the first even and gave only one, the 13th, to McLarnln. McLarnln was penalized by both Forbes and Barnes for landing low punches. Under the rules of the state athletic commission, violation of the code, such as hitting below the belt, Is automatically cause for loss of the round, regardless of what else may happen. In at least four rounds the fourth, ninth, eleventh and 13th the Irishman was warned by Forbes for falling to keep his punches In the proper cone. On the Associated Press score sheet Ross was credited with nine rounds, Including the second to seventh In clusive1, and the last three. The first was scored even and the ninth to 13th were tallied for McLarnln. Ross won, regardless of all con troversial angles, because he outboxed McLarnln from start to flnlah, took the sturdy Irishman's stlffest punches without backing up and landed the cleaner, more effective blows. Against a rival outweighing him nearly five pounds, with dynamite In his right hand and the record of being "poi son" to all Jewish lightweights, Ross gave a dazzling exhibition of defen sive skill and footwork, In addition to an ability to hold his own In any two-fisted exchange. Before McLarnln was able to solve bis rival's flashing style and untangle himself from a succession of swift left Jabs and hooks to the head, Ross had taken a commanding lead. For the first seven rounds Barney's speed, the ease with which he blocked or dodged McLarnln's most earnest swings, meanwhile countering with swift darting shots to the head, gave the Jewish boy an astonishing advan tage. For five rounds, thereafter, the lightweight champion fought de fensively, with flashes of slugging willingness, aa McLarnln tried ag gressively and desperately to turn the tide, but Ross rallied to out punch the tiring Irishman through out the last three rounds, himself a youthful master of rlngcratt. The crowd that saw ring history made was the greatest to attend a fight In two years and marked a spectacular comeback In the boxing Industry, which has been at low ebb since 1933. The gate receipts, esti mated by promoters at 338,OO0, also marked a new high for a two-year period and represented the biggest figure for anything outside the heav ier classes since Benny Leonard and Lew Tendler were packing them In over ten years ago. McLarnln was stripped of the wel ter title he won leu than a year ago from Young Corbett III. McLarnln knocked out Corbett In less than a round at Los Angeles. The Irishman's last defeat was by Lou Broulllard In 1093 and he hadn't lost a fight In New York since Billy Petrolle beat him In 1030. FBANKIE MONROE.

The couples started houseXeeplng In sdjolnlng flats and since then, with the exception of two brief peri ods, they have lived as neighbors. At one time, when the families lived In the same flat one upstairs and the other down the mother went to live with one daughter on the first floor, and the father lived with the other upstairs. Their romances began about the same time and the sisters announced their engagements Jointly. Although one Is several years older, the two. ss girls, dressed as twins.
