Fit As String Quartet.

Fit As String Quartet.
TR. ROSS was subjected to a
lN1 thorough investigation by DR.
Nardiello, the Boxing Commits
ions sharp-eyed germ-detector, who
went all through the blood pressure,
heart and lung routine. The doctor
pronounced Barney the soundest phys
ical specimen of his acquaintance.
"I never saw anything like him." he
diagnosed. Hes perfect. He's calm
and quiet as child, but he's right on
edge for any sort of action"
These observations were confirmed,
few minutes later, by Mr.. Ross in
person.
I'm afraid I'm going to live," said
Mr.. Ross.
1t is very possible that the news of
Mr.. Ross hearty condition and con-
fdent attitude may create an atmoS-
phere of doubt and gloom in the
Orangeburgh camp Of James McLarn-
in, not far away. 1t is possible, on
the other hand, that James will not
pay the slightest attention to these
reports. No matter what the baby
panned killer thinks about Ross, he is
going to have difficult time achieving
his ambition to send the jewel of the
Ghetto back to the hockshop.
Ross looks fine. His cheeks are as
pink as the cheeks of a Ross can be.
His flesh is firm, his timing in the ring
is flawleSS, and his glims are as clear
and bright as couple of lighthouse
beacons. The most impressive thing
about him, though, is his confidence
that he is not only better boxer, but
better fighter, than McLarnin.
If James can overcome this con-
fidence and the combined testimony
Of Mr.. Dumb Dan Morgan and Johnny
Dundee, he should win. The best
thing his manager, Mr. Pop Foster,
can do is keep James out of earshot
Of Mr.. Morgan. The mute gentle
mans conversation, on current form,
would paralyze the nerves of corbra.

The Barney Ross Angle.

n ARNEY ROSS, weafrng two
Is crowns. still takes to battle two
of the main factors in ring sue
cesS-speed and smartneSs.
Ross is faster in every way-faster
foot work-faster hands-a faster
working mind.
He also is strong and durable
and he still is on the way up, while
McLarnin is about at the end of the
main road-not so far away at least
from the final turn.
Ross showed what he could do be-
fore when he and McLarnin stood
toe-to-toe and fought it out. On al
most all of these occasions Barney's
superior hitting speed forced Jimmy
to break and fall back. This extra
speed prevented McLarnin from get
ting set for any Furnishing clout to
head or body.
It is difficult to hit target solidly
when said target is popping away
with both hands, thereby breaking
up any balance.
1t is this factor of speed and canny
head work that gives Ross his best
chance to retain his welterweight
toga.
Evening star., 1934-09-05

should hand out more punishment
than he dealt last time.
Ross hardly will be any better than
he was back in May, and McLarnin
should be decided improvement on
what he was.
Any good fighter with an g.
pound advantage in the welterweight
class, who can punch with both
hands. should win from the lighter
man-who can't punch to any great
extent.
For McLarnin is game enough and
he has a good head-despite the fact
that he was outgeneraled badly the
last time
He will have to be better than he
was to Offset Barney's speed-in an
age where speed plays one of the
leading roles, no matter what the
game.

N YEW YORK, september o.
nj When two fighters step their
V way through Is rounds and
there is a wide range of
argument and debate as to which
man won-you can realize the trouble
that awaits any forecast when they
meet again.
For if the next Ross-McLarnin
meeting tomorrow night goes IS
rounds very likely there will be the
same wide difference of opinion, de-
bated in the same loud and strident
tones.
In my opinion Barney Ross won the
first fight through greater speed and
keener ring smartness. s6-+ ~
He was much faster than McLarnin,
counting in feet and hands, and Ross
made McLarnin fight the way he
wanted him to fight-which is shrewd
generalshlp. s,-
Against this McLarnin's supporters
offer the idea that James did nearly
all the forcing and leading-that he
made the flght-and that Ross loafed
and fought only in flashes.
This is largely true. McLarnin did
most of the forcing-but he couldn't
make it count. Ross had two many
flashes-and not enough fighting.
And there it stands, with two
judges more than dozen rounds
apart in their official verdicts-one of
the widest gaps any fight jury has
ever known.

A slight cut over the left eye ap-

Galento was unfit to continue, so

victory.
Towering above Galento by nearly
a head, Gallagher from the start pur-
sued plan Of battle intended to
check the famed Galento left. The
Foggy Bottom boy endeavored to keep
inside his shorter foe continually. It
was new kind of fighting for Gala
CHER and not the kind of fighting that
pleased the fans, for from the fifth
round through the tenth the local
larruper was generously booed.
Yet by these tactics it was Marty's
fight up to the ninth round and by a
wide margin, too. In the ninth, though,
Galento managed to get Gallagher
away long enough to bore in with the
Furnishing left. One blow got Marty
in the middle and down he went to
remain on both knees for a count of
nine. Again in the tenth Tony hooked
to the face with his left several times
then to the body. Down went Marty
again, this time on one knee to take
