Split Vote Decides.

TT WAS not one-sided victory for
Ross, nor without its dispute
after a savage duel, from which
both emerged bleeding and somewhat
battered. Two of the three officials
gave the lightweight king a wide
margin, and to the majority of OBJ
servers it appeared that Bounding
Barney had decisively outboxed Nc
Larnin.
Referee Eddie Forbes cast the de-
Gliding vote in favor of Ross after
the two judges, Tom ORourke, old
time manager and promoter. and
Harold Barnes, disagreed. Whereas
O'Rourke gave Ross only one round,
the eleventh, and score nine for
McLarnin, with the others even.
Barnes tailed only two rounds, the
first and tenth, for McLarnin. and
scored an even dozen rounds for Ross,
with one round even.
There was no doubt in Forbes mind,
however, for the veteran referee
scored l3 for Ross, scored the first
even and gave only l, the twelfth, to
McLarnin
McLarnin was penalized by both
Forbes and Barnes for landing low
punches. Under the rules of the State
Athletic Commission violation of the
code, such as hitting below the belt,
is automatically cause for loss of the
rouno, regardless of what else may
happen. In at least four rounds, the
fourth, ninth, eleventh and thirteenth,
the Irishman was warned by Forbes
for failing to keep his punches in the
proper zone.

to hold his own in any two-fisted ex-
change
Before McLarnin was able to solve
his rivals flashing style and untangle
himself from succession of swift left
Jabs and hooks to the head, Ross had
taken a commanding lead. For the
flrSt seven rounds Barney's speed, the
ease with which he blocked or lodged
McLarnln's most earnest swings, mean
while countering with swift, darting
shots to the head, gave the Jewish bov
an astonishing advantage For five
rounds thereafter the lightweight
champion fought defensively, with
flashes Of slugging willingness, as Nc
Larnin tried aggressively and des-
perately to turn the tide, but Ross
rallied to outpunch the tiring Irish
man throughout the last three rounds.
No Real Knockdowns.
THERE were no real knockdowns,
i although in the ninth both went
to the floor from the combined
effort of being hit and also being of
balance. Ross, half spinning as he
took long right, lost his footing but
bounded up without a count and
quickly connected with a left hook
that caused McLarnin, as he dodged.
to slip and land heavily on his
haunches. Jimmy also jumped up be-
fore the knockdown timekeeper could
go into action.
The left with which Ross bewildered
his opponent throughout the fight
started the blood flowing freely from
McLarnin'S nose as early as the fourth
round. From the eighth on Barney
was cut about the mouth and was
splitting blood. Frequently, in the last
half Of the fight, both were red
smeared. but neither could land an
other knockout punch. McLarnin,
tlring fast, almost slipped to the floor
again in the final round as Barney
cuffed him solidly at close range, but
they were in a tangle of flying fists
and had to be pried apart after the
final bell.
In beating McLarnin at the latters
own game, Ross stamped himself as
youthful master of ringcraft.
Barely five years out of amateur
ranks, where he gained notice as a
Golden Gloves champion in Chicago,
Ross quickly cut a swath through
professional ranks and startled the

Canzoneri for the lightweight title
last June in Chicago. Just to show
there was no fuke to that triumph
Ross came to New York and repeated
his conquest Of Canzoneri on the

DEATH TAKES TOLL 9 I
|. OF CZECH MINERS
I'M RADIUM CENTER
nv As.ocintea r,ressl.a

.JACHYMOV, Czechoslovakia.
July 18.-The natives are phiios-
ophic about it--but the healing
radium they dig up here for the
benefit of millions of sick means
death to them.
Scarcely miner in this famous
radium mining center of $4,000,
called Joachimisthal in the days
of Austrian supremacy, lives more
than 40 years and, as mortality
statistics show, death generally at
tacks at the age of rs. So among
the natives, Jachymov is the "city
of DEATH"
One of the local ironies is that
while visitors regain their health
at radium-cure sanatarium, min
ers waste away in the. hospital.
The radiumi rays to which they are
continually exposed while at work
is fatal.
Leucocythemia sets in. The red
corpulscles diminish. white cor
puscles multiply. The end is
death.
Every miner knows this. And
yet there is no dearth of appli-
cants for jobs.
The radium mines, state-owned,
are a source of great profit and
the government sends one commits
sioner after another to see if any,
thing can be done to check radium
death.
Meanwhile the miners take con-
ISOLATION from the fact that Nine.
Curie and many doctors exposed
to radium die the same death as
the humble miners.
