Madison Square Garden has been
batting it's head around trying to
make up for that Camera Loughran
flop. Now they go to the smaller
men in the game for the mazuma.
Already, they have the worlds
heavyweight bout scheduled between
Camera and Baer for June, where
they hope to put the Garden on
its feet again. Now they hope these
under 15O-pounders will pull more
than the heavyweights-something
unheard Of in fight history.
The Garden calls this bout the
dream match of boxing" because
they're starting the old chauvin-
istic ball rolling again with dube
bling Ross ''the greatest Jewish
fighter of recent years." and Me-
Larnin as "the most outstanding
Irish boxer of all times" Any
how, the Garden believes In see

If the Garden Bowl knocks off
the 100000 which the promoters are
rubbing their hands about, getting
them all itchy, it looks like the
Baer- Camera matchu have to be
called off for a couple of weeks 50
as the customers can catch up with
their escaping pockets. A $40 top
is something to run after.

sheltered Barney Ross and
other greats under their
wings, namely, Art Winch and
Sam Plan, have a little more reality
in their statement, Our boy,
Barney, champion Of the world. We
couldn't starve with him around. /"
And Barney himself, he couldn't get
over the fact of his rapid, sure, steady
rise from Golden Glove champion
to the dizzy heights Of crowndom.
He's gotten used to being known
as the classiest little fighter in the
game. A lot of color, without any
bombastic publicity, was woven
around him. Nobody thought he'd
rise to his spot when everybody
knew him as kid without the
killer instinct, without the cracking
wallop that counts, without the good
fortune of having to run to a neu-
trail corner continually. But the
boys up on top and it's going to be
hard to topple him down.
When he beat Canzoneri for the
championship, punching away for
the two crowns, everybody thought
the fight was fixed. Gamely, he
and his managers wanted to push
those ideas out of everybody's head.
He was rematched with Canzoneri
for the title bout in New York.
Both men were tremendously
popular in their respective cities.
Barney won in Chicago. Now the
fans waited for the match In New
York City, Canzoneri's own, where
there would be more turnstiles turn
ing dizzily, and where Canzoneri
would take the crown away with
little more dough in his kick. But
peculiarly enough, the home-loving
kid from Ciieago's West Side, who
comes from very religious family,
who stay at home praying for him
when he dances around the ring,
came through again and disap-
pointed the guys in the know with
a decisive win.
DOSS kinda did right by himself.
- A poor kid at the beginning,
who spared around for few
bucks a bout, came through with
a total Of 100 grand, which is
some coin In these days. Yet, in
spite Of all the dough he made
for himself, his managers and the
promoters worked for their share,
while the guys behind the pro-
motors sat on their swivel chairs
with scissors in hand, ready for
their secretaries TO bring in those
wel-known coupons which make
1t possible for them to hy-by- night
to dine in Florida and to fly-by-
day to plank few across the line
at Saratoga.
The boy with the proletarian
comes through in grand
fashion. But don't get the idea I'm
giving you a Horatio Alger story.
NOW the match of the year is in
~ the making between Barney
Ross and Jimmy McLarnin for the
worlds welterweight championship.
Ross is going to accomplish the
iconoclaStic feat of attaining three
titles.

SALE OF VALUABLE PROP

of valuable property on Monday

building lots, four Williams patent
fruit evaporators, eight acres of
ground at Jennings Landing, an
acre of ground in this town con-
tanning a well of water, stable,
carriage house, and last, but not
least, the splendid new dwelling
that was built year ago on Meth
odist street and occupied by Her
man S. Tygert until his removal to
Philadelphia a few months ago.
This house in its various appoint
ments for comfort is not surpassed
by any in the town. Another fea-
ture in connection with this prop
erty is that when they lay out the
lots, which will be done today or
Tomorrow, Church street will be
extended to Railroad Avenue thus
opening new street commencing
with the old and terminating with
the new cemetery. This new street
will meet long felt want, and
from the demand for dwellings the
lots ought to find ready purchas-
ers.
