YOUTHFUL FEATHER
TO FIGHT FOR TITLE
Proves Boxing Ability Plus
'Toughness in Victory
Over PetroIIe.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

)HICAGO, March 25.-Barney
Ross has Travelled swiftly
~ along the road of pugilism.
Three years ago he was a
featherweight who came out Of
Chicago'S ghetto district to win
the amateur championship of the
city and then defeat New York's
title holder in an intercity bout.
Soon he will be meeting Tony
Canzoneri for the lightweight
championship of the world.
Ross bowed into the championship
class when he beat Billy Petrolle, the
Fargo Express, In the Chicago Stadium
Wednesday. Canzoneri, the champion,
sat at the ringside and was greatly i'm
pressed by Ross performance. 1t Is
likely the new promoters Of the stadium
will make a Ross-Canzoneri match as
one Of the outstanding sports events
of the Summer season. The Ross
Petrolle bout drew more than $4,000
fans.
Granted Petrolle is not quite the
fighter he was few years back, he
still is a tough testing block for any
aspiring youngster. So when Ross won
Z of tine 10 rounds he definitely es-
tablished himself as contender for
the lightweight crown.
Tor a youngster in the professional
l. end of boxing, Ross is exceptionally
cool and canny in the ring. He
consistently raked Petrolle with a left
hook and right cross and there were
times when he landed as many as sig
blows before Petrolle could sink one in
return. The Chicagoan is a great coun-
ter-hghter and picked Petrolle of as
Billy would bore in on him.
Ross proved he could take it with
the best of them in the fourth round.
Billy laced Ross with left hook. but
never could open him up for rights to
the head. If Ross should reach the
championship class he will be more Of
a boxer than fighter and will recall
Sammy Mandell to the fans.
1t may be a bit too soon to toss
Ross against Canzoneri. but he wants
his shot at Tony without much delay
and If he boxes as he did against
Petrolle he will give the champion
plenty of trouble.

are rulers Of feminine basket ball for
another year.
They vanquished the Dallas Golden
Cyclones, 1899, in the finals of the
Women's A. A. U. tournament last
night, with Babe Didrikson, outstanding
girl athlete, on the sidelines roofing
for Dallas. A year ago the Okla
homans wrested the title away from
the Cyclones with Miss Didrikson
playing with the Texans.
1t was a scorching battle before a
frenzied crowd Of 5000 and it was the
third conquest for the Cardinals over
their arch enemies since they took the
championship to the Red River coun-
try Of Southern Oklahoma last March.
The stars of the Cardinal triumph were
Lucille Thurman, center, who scored
nine field goals and Vera Dunford, a
big red-head reserve, who was thrown
into the furious milling when little
Doll Harris, Redbird captain ind sure
shot forward, was forced to hobble to
the bench on severely wrenched knee
Thurman and Harris both earned all
American rating at forward, with
Harris as captain, but the forward
member Of the Dunford twin-sister act
was unranked owing to the fact she is
a second stringer on the all-star Okla
homa squad and plays as a substitute
The deadly Cardinal offensive was
crippled momentarily and the Cyclones
took charge when Harris departed, but
Dunford soon filled in adequately and
had five field goals at the end.
MISS WILLIAMS, the Dallas center,
1v1 won the pivot position on the all
America first team, with Miss
Thurman at forward because of Will
liams' great advantage in stature at
the Jump. All-America guards are
Corene Jaax of the Wichita Thurstons,
who took third place in the tourna-
ment by beating the Steuben Club OF
Kansas City, 1918, in the play-ofi

n YEW YORK, March 25.-The man

Y at stage, slapsy Maxey Rosen-
bloom. held undisputed pos
session Of the world light heavyweight
championship today.
Recognized as world title holder by
the New York State athletic Commits
sion since 1890. Rosenbloom settled all
disputes over the 175-pound diadem In
Madison Square Garden last night when
he stopped the National Boxing Associ-
alton nominee, Bob Goodwin Of Daytona,
Fla, In the fourth round Of . 15-ruund
match.
Thus for the first time since Tommy
Loughran abandoned the title to battle
the heavyweightS in 1929 the light
heavyweight throne is in the hands of
universally recognized owner.
slim crowd Of 5000 saw te Harlem
Night Club king floor Goodwin twice in
the first round, slap and cuff him
around in the second and third and cut
him SO badly about the eyes that Ref
cree Pete Hartley stopped the milling
session.
Goodwin tried to fight back as we'll as
he knew how, but he was outclaSsed by
the veteran of more than 200 ring duels.
The Southerner entered the ring with
white tape plastered over both eyes, but
it failed to provide much protection.
Maxey'S cutting, unorthodox attack
quickly tore away the tape and started
the wounds to bleeding.
Finally one deep cut over Godwin's
left eye began bleeding so badly that 1t
was dangerous for him to continue so
Hartley stepped in and awarded Rosen-
bloom the victory on a technical knock
out.
The fight had barely opened when
Rosenbloom, whose light hitting Is no
torious, floored Goodwin with a left hook
to the body. The Southerner bounced
up without count. but another left to
the body sent him to the floor for
count OF three. He did not seem badly
hurt, but he took bad cutting before
the round ended. He fought back
gamely in the second and third rounds,
but the clever Rosenbloom presented an
all but inpregnable defense.
Rosenbloom, a 3-to-1 betting favorite,
weighed 172A pounds against 1914 for
Goodwin.
1t was Rosenbloom's second success
full title defense in two weeks. He beat
Adolph Heuser, German slugger, in the
Garden March 10. Goodwin won N. B.
