STRONGER R0SSTO CHANGE STYLE FOR
 M'LARNIN BATTLE

Grossinger Club, Ferndale, N. Y, Aug 2S-Barney Ross will employ a different style from that which , gained him the welterweight title last May when he meets Jimmy McLarnin in the return 15-round title match for the Christmas Fund on the night of September in the Garden Bowl.
 This much seems definitely cer- tain as the champion swings into final stages of training at the Grossinger Country Club here. For Ross in his daily glove jousts indi- cates that he is not to depend upon the style which succeeded in turn ing back McLarnin the first time and plans a hard punching onset designed to bring him victory by the knockout route.
 It's no secret now that Ross, since last May, has gained new punching prowess, particularly with his right hand. Ross is big ger, although not heavier. He has gained an inch around the shoul- tders. He feels confident of his liability to stop any man. Some of this confidence has come to him in training bouts here thus far. He has witnessed his sparrinG partners staggering under blows of his (which formerly did not faze them i; and thus he has come to know his new found strength and power. No Worries
 Ross says he has no battle plans. That is true. No boxer ever really tplanned a style of attack before a Ebout. Battle plans are formulated [hfter the opening gong-and each tcontestant's plans are made for him by the attributes he embraces that night.
 Barney Ross will enter the Gar Hen bowl ring on September with time. He will have punching, lNpon. He will have lethal right, fas we'll as a dangerous left, to de- Fpend upon. He can be expected No force the fight, trying for a Dknockout victory. But he won't do ft carelesslY. Depend upon Bar They and Art Winch, one of his lairectors, to prevent such foolish hess.
 E Barney will pace himself"
 states Manager Winch. He will Eain momentum, so to speak, as
 ae goes along. Our plan is to }wear McLarnin down. Barney will
 bide his time in the early rounds but only if he is able to restrain himself. You know what pre- Aght plans are; they usually mean Hery little about the time the ref eree calls the two men into the kenter of the ring for instructions.
 It'd like to see Barney box McLar- Ihin in the way I have mentioned because I believe it is style now, nwith Barney's new strength and punching ability, which is certain kI,D prove the downfall of McLarnin EI6ia . knockout. Nevertheless, l kxn sure, regardless of which way Barney' boxes Jimmy, that this |Hme our MT Ross will win by a knockout.
 "In his right hand Barney has |Gs real weapon now and it won't surprise me if he turns the trick with that member"

Jewish lightweight champion from Chicago-only to come back and turn in brand of fighting that made all hands ask questions!
 Unhampered by doubt of a years layoff such as trailed his wakeful moments when getting ready to defend his title, with no thought of making weight, it will decidedly be up to Ross to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that he was not granted a sentimental decision. For McLarnin, no abibis are needed.
 There were hundreds of excel lent judges of boxing at the ring side who left the Garden bowl convinced they had been witnesses to gross error in Judgment when that grand character of the ring. Josephus Humphries clarioned,- "The winnah-and new cham pion-Ross!

The first meeting of the Adja- rent Hunts, members of which arc the Fairfield County, Fairfield and Westchester, Goldens Bridge, OK Ridge and Star Rideg Hounds, and the Litchfield County and Water town Hunts, was staged on the Fairfield estate of Carleton H. Pal mer, now treasurer of the assocla- ton. Last year and the year be- fore the scene was the Sterling es- tate at Greenwich. Sharp turns, uncertain footing. and Vlslolllty which left something to be desired were difficulties with earlier courses which led the committee to switch to Blind Brook. 1mpor- tant hunt meetings have Tn past wears been staged at the old BOW man Park rendezvous, the last be- ing the two-day meeting of the United Hunts in 1880.
 Two races over timber, two over brush, and two on the flat are scheduled by the racing committee, of which James A. Farrell, Jr, master of the OK Ridge Hounds, is chairman. The distances range from a siX-furlong dash on the flat. to three miles over timber for the big trophy of the day, the Con- necticut cup, valued at $l,OOO. This race, for amateur riders, was won last year by Carleton H. Pal mer's Rond du Roi, ridden by F. T.. Greene.
 Watertown Riding and Hunt club iC send its strong Tipperary stables array to the meet. including a number of blue ribbon winners chosen since last winter in eastern shows.
 Fine horses trained to scamper over timber and brush, and dash over the sprint distances on the flat are expected to be entered from Virginia, Maryland, Pennsyl- vania, Long Island and Westches- ter and Connecticut regions. This meeting of the amateur racers rounds out Blind Brooks season picture which began auspiciously with the intercollegiate polo championship and the historic Westchester county horse show.
 According to Dirk Van Ingen, racing secretary, owners, trainers, and jockeys will recognize many innovations in the plans for the Adjacent Hunts fourth meeting, both in the schedule of events and in the course.
 By retaining experts to design an entirely new course on the we'll adapted ground at Blind Brook, we have been able to plan for left handed racing in the American style" said Dirk Van Ingen, "rath- CT than right-handed in the forr- eign style. The competitors, both men and horses, will no doubt find this more to their liking than the procedure at previous meetings of the association. Moreover, all the races will be run around the oval before the boxes and grandstand. There will be no figure eight course in the infield.

Hopeville Twilight
 Shadows
(By THE INSIDER)

One of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a ball game at the park saw Alex Mazzar- elias All-Stars go down to defeat with flying colors under the heavy hitting of the much more inexper- fenced Reporters to the tune of g to 8.
 Jack Grady, former Hope-
 vile Speedboy, tOed the rubber
 (Why he did is still a mystery)
 for the All-Stars much to the
 delight of the Reporters, who
 hit him at will until the last
 few innings, when MazzarelIa
 (also former Hopeville Speed-
 bOy) saw the others pleading look and retired him in favor of Al Blanchione. "Jiggs" Murphy of the Report CTS team had Grady's underhand ball down to "T' connecting for a home run, a triple and two singles in four times at bat.

 Eddie Sarge Bowling, of the Reporters was awakened from his slumber in left field by Dino Barto- linis terrific smash in the third inning. letting in two runs and ty- ing the score, but redeemed him. self in the ninth by connecting for a single and driving in a run.
 Beef" Mazzarella, who has
 been taking lessons in how to approach the plate from a for
 mer Danbury baseball coach, must have forgotten the main
 pointer, to hit the ball after
 the approach.
 Joe Evans relieved Gilhooley in the eighth for the Reporters and held the All-Stars hitless in the re- maining two innings of play.
 Deciding to give the 'Ville a
 chance to "cOme back", the
 game went ten innings. but to
 no avail.
 Alex "Dusty Leaguer" Mazzarel- la, who played second base for the 'Ville had an unconscious evening, missing none of the five chances handled, but at bat hit two little pop fiys to the third baseman who shared them in big league style.
 A cheering section headed by
 Eddie "TarZan" Davis gave up
 hopes of their team winning in
 the early stages of the game
 and finished up roofing for the
 Reporters.
 Peter Am I Late" Guglielmo, who was scheduled to play third base for the Vile, arrived about the third inning and after a con- ference was held, it was decided that for the benefit of the team Peter would remain on the side- lines. ,l -.

 When direction is of vital i'm portance, it often is well to play a half shot instead of full shot with a shorter stick.
 In playing half shots, the hands move down the leather, the feet are moved closer together, and the club isn't taken back as far. In this shot, no help is needed from the body as distance is secondary
