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.

drew Foster's ire to such an extent

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,

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.

N RAGE AS GAME
TIME DRAWS NEAR
Bats crack tomorrow at the fair
grounds when the Jacksonville Gil
more Lions meet the Medford Rogues
In their long anticipated grudge
fight, with both teams making elab
orate claims as to what they Intend
doing to the others.
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

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. Bentley and Mm, Aletha Vawter
