Ross Regains Welter Crown by Outpunching McLarnin for Decision PAGE TWO MRS MANAGER FOLLOWING BOUT Referee Dempsey and Two Judges Agree On Superior Performance of Chicago Fighter No Knockdowns By ALAN GOULD Associated Prefii Sports Editor. NEW YORK, May 29. (AP) Bar ney Rom, the flashing-eyed Chicago clouter who doesn't rest easy without at leaflt one world's ftotle crown too hts raven thatch, perched him eelf back on the welterweight throne today with the distinction not only of outBlutwlne the great Jimmy c Larnln. but of being probably the IrlBhman'a ilnal conqueror. McLarnin didn't take his defeat at the Polo Grounds laat nlf?ht a bit terly as did his veteran manager. Pop Foster, who said hts protege was through with the fight game after 10 spectacular years, but Jimmy was whipped with sufficient thorough ness to discourage much Idea of making a successful comeback. Says Dempsey Lnfolr, The veteran manager not only In sisted Jimmy will hong up hla gloves. In a heated statement after the Ili?lit. but delivered an atttack on th selection of Jack Dempsey as referee, charging the former heavy weight king had disqualified himself by openly favoring Ross beforehand. Although a large shara of the crowd of 31.000 lustily booed the outcome, the decision of Referee Dempsey and the two Judges, Abe Goldberg and George Lecron, waa unanimous In favor of Ross, who re gained the 147-pound championship after 1A bruising, bloody rounds that had the spectators In an uproar throughout. In this observer's opinion, there wai no doubt about Bnmey's su periority, in speed, punching and all-around tactics, although the flashy Chlcagoan was no weary after slugging It out with his rival all the way thnt he was barely able to stand up In the final round. Gives Rtwui 10 Rounds. On the Associated Press score sheet Robs took ten rounds. McLarnin foxir, with one Bven, although at lfat half a do7.en rounds were so close that It was difficult to de tect any advantage either way. There no knockdowns although Mc lArnln's knees buckled under Bar ney's terrific barrages to tha head nd body In both the second and fourteenth rounds, while Ross him self seemed In danger of slipping to the floor In the fifteenth. Ross, who won and lost two welter title bouts with McLarnin last year and abruptly discarded the world lightweight championship six weeks ago because he did not choose to make weight for that claw of com petition any longer, beat McLarnin at the Irishman s own game. Jimmy Outptinrhed. Instead of simply trying to out apoed and out box his rival as he did in capturing the crown a year ago, Ross stood his ground, absorbed at ream of left Jabs that cut his cheek and nose, then waded In and outpunched McLarnin dr-ctslvely In nearly every two-fisted exchange From the f mirth round on, Ross fought with the handicap of a atead lly bleeding nose. From the sevnth on. he revealed afterward, he was further handicapped by an injury to his left hand, but the chsllcnger's remarknble stamina and new-found power In his 141 pounds, heaviest nt which ho has ever fought, carried him along at a terrific pace until the last round. ieniiey Termed Square Referee Dempsey, whose selection drew Foster's ire to such an extent that he went so far as to protect before the fight to the chairman ol the state athletic commission, HHg- n outsold its two nearest competitors combined ( Ross Proves i TT. i - 7 Barney Ross (left) who demonstrated all-around superiority over his undent foe, Jimmy McLarnin (right) by winning the unanimous de cision In their welterweight championship fight at the Polo grounds last night. (A. P. Photos). adler General John PheAn, gave Mc Larnin the benefit of more doubt than any of the three officials. Jack's score-sheet showed five rounds for Ross, three for McLarnin, and seven even. Foster charged Dempsey had been "on the other side." referring to Jock's pre-flght predictions favoring Ross, but General Phelan retorted : You couldn't have a aquarer man to referee. Go ahead with the ftght." The groan gate receipts were H44, 080, and the net $119,804.21, as com pared with $138,000 for their first fight and $107,000 for the second match last year, making an aggre gate of nearly a half million for the three bouts.

Bob Lewis, Gllmore manager, said today: "We'll put the 'grand old men' In their places. Before tnev i would consider us for a game, 'Scoop' I Puhl, their manager, said that we'd have to get a reputation for our- j selves. We've got our3, but can't see much to recommend the Rogues. Any high school team could get Into the league cellar. Our pitcher. Brown, says he'll whiff Hoffard every time he comes to bat." Hoffard, when he heard this dis-: course, flew Into rage, and announc ed that he will take the Lions oy j at least nine runs. "Why, every team In the Southern Oregon league has. sent me at least one player who wants to get a crack at Gllmore. They talk too much, without pro ducing anything to bra about. They yell about their young players, when as a matter of fact, several of them j are older than I am. The rest are Infants. I've had several of those men playing for me. They coulda't hit the ground with their hats, and they couldn't catch a fly ball if It had ears on it. "Last year they signed up for a three game series Gllmore denies this. Ed. Note) and then we dropped the first game through an accident, and they wouldn't play us again. Said they couldn't get their team together. But every night they were all hanging around DeVoe's corner together. Bah! We'll get even for that by giving them the beating of their lives." To which Lewis replies, "Talk. We beat Ashland and Klamath Falls, and Grants Pass wna afraid to play us. Anybody that reads the papers knows how the Rogues came out against those teams. Let 'em ring In outsid ers on us too. If they want to. We'ic not expecting much competition anyway, and outside talent wouid help a lot." j Courtney, Rogue first sacker. will be absent, he being forced to take j special geology work for his credit at Southern Oregon Normal on that j day.

U4 MEMORIAL Sixty-four years ago, General Logan, Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, sent out his letter to all Department Commanders naming May 30 a day to be set aside "For the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of Union soldiers who died in defense of their country during the Civil War." Medford National Bank Owing to the fact that several trips out of the city have been made the past week, participants in the annual spring handicap golf tournament now under way at Rogue Valley golf course have been unable to get together as per schedule, and the semi-finals in stead of the finals will be held to morrow, Memorial day. The 36-hole finals will be held Sunday. H. B. Bentley and Ed Simmons, Mark Miller and Bud Simmons, will meet In the semi-finals, which the Simmons boys seem to have well in hand. Both matches are doped to be hot contests and are considered toss ups from all angles. Miller, however, may pull a surprise, as he has been playing 16-handicap golf during the tourney, although his handicap Is set at 18. Bud Simmons was way off form yesterday In his quarter-final match with J. B. Kirk but, for that matter, so was the latter, and Simmons held a 3-to-2 vitory over the former south ern Oregon champ. The match was replete with dubb shots, and Sim mons is afraid that If he doesn't climb back into form in a hurry he will take a beating in hts match to morrow. There has also been considerable activity at the course in the popular mixed Scotch two-bail foursome, and several matches are scheduled to be played within the next few days. H. B.
