NEW YORK. April 10. - When
Barney Ross, whose real name ism t
any more that than mine is Union
Pacific, steps in there with Jimmy
McLarnin on the night of May %,
the welterweight championship will
be only one of the several items on
his own mind.
He'll be thinking of the money,
of course. And his own good health
and reputation, to be sure. And
very important-he II be thinking
how very elegant it would be to re-
pay McLarnin for all the headaches
he has dealt TO Jewish fighters in
the past.
! To repay McLarnin in full he II
have to literally beat Jimmy's ears
off, for the Vancouver Irlshman
has certainly been a scourge to the
Jewish boys, especially champions
and near champion. I can recall
eight Jewish boys offhand that Nc
Larnin belted the eternal daylights
cut of. He got joey Sanger IN

Larnin always managed to be e

Backed by the models registra- ton bureau, at which more than $50 professional models are regis tered, the Chicago group drew up and signed "an appeal to society girls" some 300 of whom are now modelling, to "shoW their sportsman ship" and withdraw from the call ing. Copies of the appeal are to be sent to all shops employing SOC ially prominent persons as models.
 The models charged that their SOC iety competitors lowered the stand ards of modelling, depressed rates of pay, and took work needed by pro- fessionals for livelihood.
 "The Standard modelling rate" said Mrs. Connie Seaman, head of the models bureau, Eff $5 for the

More often than not, she receives no pay, her picture in the paper being -compen- sation enough. Often she is given the expensive gown she is modelling.
 An average professional Chicago model works three days week, av- eraging from $5 to $10 day. Out of this she not only supports her self, but maintains an extensive wardrobe necessary for modelling purposes. Of the 2500 professionals in Chicago less than 200 have reg ular work"

Playing before near-capacity
crowd which sweltered under q

ter one of the gameSt, uphill fights
ever staged at Wimbledon.
Lott bowed to Perry, No. in the
tourney, after a four-Set struggle
The winning score was 6-4, 90, Us,

the outstanding doubles performer
in the world, gave England's ace
player a much harder fight than
was expected.
Lott stormed the net at every
opportunity and upset Perry's at
tack time and again. Frequently
he forced the Englishman to take
the defensive.

WIMBLEDON, England, July 2.
Until a few days ago it was my
firm conviction that if a contest TO
decide the worlds most inaccurate
tennis umpires was ever arranged,
a team would be chosen from For
est Hills officials that would be
absolutely invincible.
I am not so positive now, how
ever, for I saw a tWo-man team In
the semi-finals of the recent
Queens club tournament which
would take a lot of beating. One
was in the high chair on the Lott
Shields match, while the other con-
trolled the fate of the Messrs. Stoe-
fen and Lott.
To beat them team would have
to miss five out of six shots, for
their average was four out Of six,
despite the fact that the matches
went only three sets and didn't
really give them time to warm up.
In five set match they'd be even
money to miss them all
They were bold, too. None OF
this cautious stuff of calling them
wrong on close shots. Their misses
were clean masterpieces of any
where from one to u inches.
The players behaved admirably,
Lott and Shields tried TO be subtle
with their annoyance at first, linn
iting this display to throwing
racquets on the ground. This fail

ing. they made their feelings a bit
more apparent, kicking the ball
over the fence after particularly
atrocious decisions. Even when the
umpire gave Shields a service
break by yelling good" on a ball
that landed in the middle of the
doubles alley, Lott refused to be-
come ugly-tempered and simply
walked over by the chair and in
soft voice. asked:
rs the Braille system very diff
ficult to learn?"
Finally, however, a series OF de-
cisions so absurd, the gallery be-
gan hooting, Lott and Shields took
matters in their own hands. After
brief conference at the net, Lott
turned to the umpire, and in a
voice that carried to all the spec
tators, announced that from there
out, he and Shields would call
their own shots. And they did.
The gentleman in the chair on
Stoefen and Wood was just as fan
tastic, but he had a weakness
he couldn't take it. He bore up
all right for two sets, but shortly
after the beginning of the third,
when Stoefen gently asked if it
would be asking too much for him
to call balls that landed three feet
beyond the baseline out, he de-
manded to be replaced. The tour
nament officials apparently thought
he should be, for they sent in a
substitute without hesitation.
