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.

It will be the first such angle ever at
tempted here, and If It proves popu
lar the Itnpressarlo said he might
make It a regular occasion.
Wives, Bister, daughters, mothers,
sunts. sweethearts, or any other fem
inine aporta fan will be admitted
free, providing they are accompanied
by someone who purchases either a
ringside or gallery ticket. And, It
doesn't have to be a male purchaser.
Two women can attend for the price
of one ticket, and If a reserved seat
la obtained the free ducat will be
for a chair alongside. In other words,
everyone, whether male or female,
will be given a free ticket with each
ticket bought. 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.

The Cleveland Indians, who havent
won the American league pennant
since 1020 although they often have
threatened to take the flaj, may turn
out to be a very tough team to beat
this season In spite of ovory thing.
In this case, "everything" Includes
the fact that Oscar Vltt, their new
manager, hwtly 'expects to turn a
fourth-place club Into a pennant
winner in one season; that they have
had tho habit for years of falling
apart In mid-season; that they're
a notorious, y v.c-ik road club, and
that those murderous - Yankees still
are hanging around.
The Indians, however, have accom
plished a couple of notable feats on
their current home stand. They
climbed back to the lead afters drop
ping to third place In the east. They
won six out of seven games from
eastern rivals, and they turned back
the Yanks twice In two days.
The pitching of Johnny Allen, a
former Yankee, and the clouting of
Earl Averlll enabled the Tribe to win
9-5 yesterday and drop New York
into third place. The Boston Red Sox,
who took over second with a 5-4 tri
umph over the Detroit Tigers, In
vade Cleveland today for a two gams
sorlcs.
Old Lefty Grove and slightly young
er Jimmy Foxx brought about Bos
ton's victory. Grove, pitching his way I
out of frequent trouble rang up his I
eighth straight victory. J

SAFTI-FLIGHT "America's Safest Tire"-This is the best tire
chat Fisk knows how to build . . . both in its internal construc
tion and in its incomparable safety tread. It costs more to make
than ordinary tires, and is classed as a DcLuxe Tire . . . but it
actually sells for very little more than first line tires of conven
tional tread construction.
AIR-FLIGHT This is one of the best ... if not actually THE
best . . . conventional tread tires built today. It differs from
Safti-Flight only in its tread, which costs less to manufacture
... so that Air-Flight costs you less money.
AIR-FLIGHT A-S. Sturdy, well-made, dependable . . . made to
sell at a moderate price. Size for size, it contains more cord
than similar grade tires made by other manufacturers. It is a
little less expensive to build than Air-Flight, and costs yon
less for this reason.
I 'I 111

FISK "75" A better tire for the money than competition offers
at the same price . . . but if you want very lowest possible first
cost we recommend the Windsor. This tire is called the "75"
because it cojtj you 75 ts much as the Air-Flight.
WINDSOR Built for the car owner who wants good, depend
able transportation at low firjt cost. It is the lowest-priced tire
in the Fisk Line, but an outstanding value.
ALL FISK MILEAGE IS SAFE MILEAGE Regardless of the
Fisk Tire that you choose from this group, you have definite
assurance that it will deliver mileage in accordance with the
price you pay for it . . . that you will get your full money's
worth In service PLUS unmatched safety factors
which have made Fisk Tires the
choice of thinking motorists through
out America. Before you buy any
