PICKED 1 AS K. 0. WINNER
 OVER BARNEY ROSS
Duluth Dynamiter" al Natural Weight For Re-
 turn Ring Bout
By JACK CUDDY

..f United Press Stan COrresp0ndentE
 New York, Jan. 24 - (UPl -S It will be i've years against fiva pounds tonight when lightweight champion Barney Ross and Ancient Billy Petrolle battle for the right to crack at the weiterweight crowns They are slated for 1O-rounds, and capacity crowd of 12,O00 iS ex- pected at the Coliseum.
 Ross Is spotting the Fargo Ex4 press five pounds. The Chicago boy wil crawl through the ropes weighs ing about 137, while battered Billy from Duluth will toss off his hosa blanket at about 142, his natural fighting weight.
 However, the betting fraternity believes that Petrolle's weight ads vantage will be more than offseA by the champions youth. Old Billy Is spotting Barney five years. H0 is 29, while Ross is 24. According- ly, Jack Doyle's latest odds quoted Ross the 2 to 1 fayorlte.
 How Come?
 Unless old Wilyum has secretly afflicted with tho heaves, spavin and the blind staggers since his last ring appearance, these odds seem preposterous. They indicate that the "wise money" boys be- licve Ross can give away five pounds and beat the Duluth dyna. miter in a walk-away. This Is un- sound legoic indeed.
 Tonight's match is a return bout. Barney and Billy fought q bliss tering Hereunder in Chicago last March 22. Ross won a mighty close decision. At that time Billy was forced to boil down to 13S pounds. He claimed the weight-making weakened him treaty. Since Mir Ross had plenty of trouble Tn get- ting the nod oyer Il 138-pound pe- trolle. It is difficult to understand why the champions admirers figure he should have easy pickings against Petrolle at 142 pounds.
 Ross unquestionably improved conside erable since his March bout with the Express. He came on to win the lightweight crown from Tony CanZoneri and then beat Can. zoneri in q return engagement. Meanwhile, however, Petrolle has shown no signs of retiring to tho old mems home. He knocked out Bep Van Klaveren in four rounds, and in his last boutNwith Sammy Fuller, he beat the rugged Boston ian handily, flooring him twice for long counts.
 Just Right.
 At 142 pounds, Petrolle ranks with welterweight King Jimmy Me- Larnin, as one of the most danger ous punches among the smallcr men.
 Ross Is as quick as a Mongoose. Ills timing. his ability to beat an opponent to the punch approaches perfection. He whips over beau tiful right cross. He is an exccl- lent boxer. However, he k young, tough and Marathon fighter. But despite all these assets, every second that he is in the ring with the Duluth dynamiter. he will Do in danger of being knocked out. And this writer believes he will be knocked out. We pick Petrolle to win by kayo.

"When 1 left 1 said I'd go il
they'd put off a little boy on
deck for me to take. l went
over but they never lowered
the child. 1 don't know what
happened to him."
Mrs. Schwarz also testified as
to the failure of the pressure on
the fire hoses. She said she first
observed this at about daylight
as near as she could remember.
Q.-When the pressure de-
creased, was that before or after

was asked:
"Was there any drunkenness
on the ship?"
There was a little going on
in the boat that night"
That's ALL"
Mrs. Lena Scharwz, steward
ess, never had attended fire drill,
she testified, and never was told
what her duties would be in case
of a fire.
When the fire broke out She
heard stewards knocking on the
doors and telling passengers to get
out on the decks.
Aided Passengers
She told of helping passengers
herself. She found a woman lost
in a smoke-filled corridor and d.
rected her. She related:
"AnOther woman was going
down the stairs. I went back
down after her and called until
1 located her. The lights had
gone out. / brought her and
another woman up on deck.
IL heard screaming down be-
low. There was a terrible mass
of people on the I'D" deck then.
The deck was black with them.
They were jumping off in all
directions and SplaShing about
in the water.
81 saw women going over with
only their evening gowns on.
Flames were shooting out ON all
Sides"
Mrs. Schwarz said the cruise
director of the Moro Castle was
trying to calm the panic-stricken
people on %" deck. But the
frantic passengers kept jumping

She told of helping fight the
fire. She pulled the kinks out
of the fire-hose."

Stood on Etiquette
He was asked why he didn't
say something to the captain
about the delay in lowering the
lifeboats and he answered:
"Well, he's an experienced
man and competent. He han
dies a ship very well and I
hardly feel like saying any
thing"
Q.-Then you stood on a sort
Of professional etiquette when
human life was in danger?
Ayes.
Gould your ship have come

Ayes, sir.
Mr.. Henderson attributed the
captains action in stopping where
he did to IAN error of judgment"
He said:
81 don't think he REALIZED the
seriousness Of it."
Q.-Was the captain drunk?
A.-No, sir.
Odd he insist on having
breakfast before going to the aid
Of the Moro Castle?
A.-Not that know Of.
He couldn't explain why there
was a half hour delay in lower
ing the lifeboats and he was eX'
cused.
Mate Excited"
Third Officer Peterson came to
the stand next. Asked if he saw
the captain and the chief officer
talking he replied affirmatively
and said:
"The first officer seemed to
be excited"
Excited? How was the cap
tain?"
HE was calm"
He explained the delay in low
ering the lifeboats to there were
no orders given" Asked if he
saw anybody jumping off the
Moro Castle he said:
Eyes, they were sliding down
ropes"
Chairman Hoover asked the
witness if his relations with the
captain were friendly and the
witness replied:
EYES,"
Asked if he considered Captain
Carey competent, he hesitated and
then said:
Cup to the present time he
has been competent"
Mr., Peterson readily admitted
more lives could have been saved
had the Lfeboats been lowered
sooner. Yes, he said, the deck Of
ficers of the President Cleveland
had discussed the situation since
the tragedy. He added:
That's all we've talked about
the last four days"
@. Have you taken any action
about this?
A. Yes. I have written the
Marine Superintendent to ask to
be relieved from duty on this boat.
We didn't think the Captain acted
competently.
@. You took this action even
though it was an error of judg-
ment?
A. Yes. There shouldn't have
been any error of judgment.
Mr.. Peterson also said Captain
Carey was sober and normal. He
did not believe his ''incompe-
tence" resulted from indifference.
He was excused.
Passenger Testifies
Thorpe Aschoff, of Flushing,
L. l., a passenger who survived the
Moro Castle disaster, was next
to testify. He was a passenger
on &C" deck.
Asked if he saw anybody aid
the passengers in adjusting their
lifebelts, Mr.. Aschoff said he saw
some stewards giving such assist
ance.
No, he had never been given
any instructions as to the location
of his lifeboat. He first learned
of the fire when he heard the
commotion." Yes, he had seen
notices in the staterooms about
life preservers but he doubted
whether he had ever read them.
He added:
But 1 knew where to get one
for myself and my wife before
we jumped Off"
He had never seen a fire drill
on the Moro Castle. He had
never received any instructions as
to what to do in case of fire. He

Washington, long the most
beautiful city in the world, is
rapidly extending in all direc-
tions. Numerous communities
are growing in outlying direc-
tions of the city and I have
many desirable homes listed in
the suburbs. If you are think
ing of changing your living
quarters, give me a ring.
NEARBY VIRGINIA.:
For some lucky person this
will certainly be a wonderful
home. Words cannot do this
house justice, as it is beyond
deScri ,ing. Located on a cor
ner surrounded by an acre of
Handicapped ground, this house
is of red brick with a lovely
furnished porch across the front.
You enter into a living room
with an enormous Wood-burn-
ing fireplace furnished in eX-
quiSite taste. On one side of
the fireplace is a built-in book
case and on the other are
French doors leading to a sun
room. Off the living room is
a cozy den with all modern
conveniences which one could
desire. The dining room is
furnished in perfect harmony
with a massive mahogany din
ing room set. A very roomy
reception hall off of which is
a lavatory and a door leading
to the breakfast porch. The
breakfast room is next to a
well equipped kitchen with but
ler's pantry. All convenienceS
that you could possibly demand,
such as house phone from the
kitchen to the master bedroom,
a very large electric refrig-
orator and many shelves for
storage space. Across the back
of the house is a breakfast
porch overlooking a heavenly
garden. Upstairs I found four
lovely bedrooms and two baths
wit showers. Laundry chute
from the second floor, two
maids rooms, oil burner and a
three-car garage are just a few
of the outstanding features. 1
