'rl IV l' I iiiillllil e n ' i T 10 PEAK THURSDAY GO Jewish Lad Remains 7 to 5 Favorite Over Negro Odds Seen Tribute to Ross' Record for Mixing By OAYLB TALBOT. NSW YORK. May S4, P Trained like fighting cocke, to quota thalr respective managers, Barney Rosa and Henry Armstrong did little more than flex their musclea and get a oouple of halrcuta today In final preparation for their IB-round battle for the wel terweight champlonahlp tomorrow night. Both completed training without mishap, and unleaa one of them trips over the scales at the official weigh- lng-ln tomorrow noon, they will enter the ring at the big Madison Square Garden bowl In shape for the scrap of their careera. Ross 7-5 Favorite. Rosa, the Jewish lad with the flam ing aplrlt, remained a atoadfoat fav orlte at 7-to-5 to defend his welter ' weight crown successfully against the negro featherweight ruler, whose fear acme record of jtnockouta In the last two yeara la unparalleled In modern ring history. The odds might be considered a tribute to Ross' leoord of never hav ing done other than fight a man to the limit of hla skill and endurnnoo since he becamo a blg-tlmor In 1933 That, more than the weight attvan- tnge, will keep U'm the fa7orlte until hi gets licked The record books show that Barney, at 28, will be giving away some four yeara to hla ever-pushing, powerful opponent. But those who have watch ed the clean-cut boy from Chicago fight over the long span think he still can whip Armstrong or anyono else around his weight. At 143, or thereabouts, Ross wlU square off at his very best fighting weight. Armstrong, on the other hand, has been forced to build him self up to 138 for the weigh-In. Tactics Defined. The taotlca defined by the two are pretty well defined. Armstrong In tends to dig Into hla older rival's midsection from the start, and In time to bring Barney's guard down to where he can be walloped aoundly on the Jaw. Rosa la certain he Isn't going to retreat Hue Armstrong's other victims. He Is smart and olever enough, he thinks, to stay In oloss and outbox Armstrong. He thinks, also, that he can punch harder than Henry, when It cornea to a ahowdown. Armstrong, quiet and atudloua as ever. Is making no fiery predictions, though his manager, Eddie Mead, aaya Henry will win by a knockout. He even calla the punch: a right to the Jaw. He Is very angry because the Ross retinue has suggested that Arm strong Is a low puncher when he be comes excited. The sdvance ssle continued to pick up, and with good weather It looked like over aiSO.OOO worth of customers might alt In the big aaucer, whence no champion ever has escaped with his title.

And, the same will apply to youngsters who buy a seat at tho regular chlldren'e price scale a free ducat will be given providing, of course, that It Is used by a guest whose age comes under the chlldren'e rate. 'Ladles' nights" or "days" are nothing new In the sports world, and they have been proved many times to be extremely valuable In acquiring new fans, and good onea. Most all professional baseball teams hold their weekly, and sometimes dally, "ladlea' games," and figures have revealed that on such occasions box olftce receipts are heavier than at any other time. If friend wlfle or aweetle de alree to be taken' to the fights or ball game, she Is usually accommo dated, with the accommodator add ing his elx-blts to those of the gen tlemen attending alone. Another thing. If a lady becomes a fan, she usually far surpasses the male species In enthusiasm, and red-hot fandom has never been known to hurt the box office. Mighty little Henry Armstrong, col ored featherweight champion, at tempts to add the welterweight crown to his collection tomorrow night In the Madison Square Garden bowl, and along with the rest of the aporta writ ers, notoriously the lousiest prognos- tlcators In the world, we must stick our own problscls Into the thing and call the turn. We hereby go on record as picking Barney Ross to retain his welter crown by Jabbing Hustlln' Hank to ribbons and belting him out within 13 heats. However, If Barney doesn't produce a KO, he will win the dc clslon In. 19 rounds. But, It looks like a knockout to this writer, who doesn't know a thing about prize fights, snd admits It. So, we'll still take Max Bchmellng on the evening of June 33, come what may and regardless of a dream Linn Mills had the other night m which he kept seeing the figure 9 In front of him. Being a Joe Louis man. Linn promptly named the fifth round as the one In which Joe would finish the German. Now, everybody Is on record and ain't we having fun.

Bhorty Miles of Engle Point fired a ml in broadside yesterday rrftnrdlnff the failure of Houth Orejton Imruc baseball clubs In not look Inn closer to home for their pitching material. A for mer ball player himself, and a pretty good one, Miles was carry ing the torch for "Skinny" Wil son, the young righthander re siding In the Table Itock vicinity. Wilson, said Shorty, Is right now as good, If not better, than any hurler in Ashland, Mcdford or Grants Pa., and he claimed that If the young ster wore given a chanoa to show his wares the club which obtained him wouldn't be sorry. He'll be chucking for Prospect next Sunday at Talent as the new Jackson county circuit opens Its season, Shorty said, so maybe he'll got a tumble from one of the S.O.L. outfits. We can vouch for Wilson's ability. Pour years ago, when he was hardly dry behind the ears, he went 14 In nings against Ashland, struck out 17 batters, nnd lost by a mere 4 to 3 count. Bob Hardy was hurling toe tho Llthtans, and It was one ot the sweetrat pitching battles we have ever aoen. Hardy, that day, fanned 33 Gold Hill hitters.
