ROSS ARRIVES IN NEW YORK TODAY
 ON WAY TO CAMP
Champion to Continue to
 Ferndale to Prepare for September 6 Bout

Barney Ross, the worlds light weight and welterweight cham pion, arrived in New York this morning over the Broadway Limit ed, of the Pennsylvania lines. Bar ney is just stopping over for a few minutes, intending to continue to his training camp at the Crossing CT Country club. at Ferndale, N. Y., where he will work out for his meeting with Jimmy McLarnin, which takes place in the Madison Square Garden Bowl on Septs6.
 Everything is set and ready for Barney's arrival at the Grossinger camp. New York representative Sol Gold has been on the ground for several days experimenting the little arena in which Barney will do his daily dozen. It's an arena which is being built to accommo- date about 2,OO0 people. Besides there is 8 new house just finished in which Barney will live. It's a little ten-room mansion, in which the uble-title-holder will sleep and rest between training periods. Managers Sam Plan and Art Winch, together with others of the Asoso ACtihuS VIII OCSupy IOOulS HI the building.
 With the arrival of Ross and the expected coming of the ex-welter- weight champion on Saturday, the return bout between the two great little men IS attracting attention everywhere. The sale of tickets has been progressing rapidly, so rapid ly in fact, that it is freely predict ed that the $300,0O0 gate receipts mark will be passed.
 At present "Pop" Foster, Me- Larnin's manager, who has been in New York since the last night, is rounding up a set of good spar ring partners for his Jimmy. They'll be an improvement on those who cid the best they could to get Jimmy into condition last time, says Pop" which will be a lot of comfort to those who still believe that Jimmy is a better man than the first lightweight to acquire two titles in the ring and to have to hold them at one and the same time.
 Ross has already his string of aides. One of them will be his old standby Phil Rafferty and the other will be Al Cassimini, who rendered such efficient service to Barney when he traine for the first McLarnin bout. Foster is silent on who will be the chief trainer for his boy, having in mind several capable handlers of men in past big engagements.

DaUies Forfeit
 Game to Metros

Due to the league protest committees recent ruling OF- dering him to use the same team in the replay game this Sunday at WatervilIe Park against the Metros as he used in their first round game, Manager Leo Orsini of the Onkvillc Davies informed Leo Conway, secretary-treasurer of the Naugatuclx Valley League today that the Davies would not be able to do so Sunday and thereby forfeited the replay game. Many new men have been added to the Davies personnel since that time and others who played in the first game cannot be located now, alleges Orsini, The forfeit automatically gives Fred Frazier's team the first half championship. Sum- day, August 29th, Watervillc will begin its playoff with Litchfield, second half win- ners, for the title.

Hartford, Aug 17.-Jackie Da. WIS, the aggressive Jewish bat. tier from Cleveland, who meets Jimmy Leto of Hartford at the South Park arena in the feature bout of the show next Tuesday night, has asked Matchmaker, Lou viscusi, to have the weight limit for the bout extended to 142.
 The request comes through tackles voluble manager, Billy stevens, who says Davis is strong CT and generally better at that weight.
 Leto had no objection and so Davis will come in around that figure.
 When Davis fought Battalino he weighed 140h at weighing-in time;. this was quarter of a pound more than the articles called for and Battalino made Jackie run off the extra fraction of a hound

 Boston Sl0Op

Newport, R. l., Aug 17-(U.P. ) -Rainbow, the Vanderbilt syndi- cate's entry in the Americas cup defense, to-day boasted for the first time a regulation victory over the Boston sloop, Yankee, leading cup candidate. Q
 Skippered by Harold Vanderbilt, the New York craft raced away from the field in the Astor cup event yesterday over 2S-mile course, winning by more than six minutes.
 The order of finish was: Rain bow, Yankee, Vanitie and Weeta- moe. for the cup yachts. Rainbow gave away time to the smaller yachts but still was winner.
 Breaking precedent, T. O. M Sopwith, owner of the British chal lenger. Endeavour, raced astern of the American cutters the whole route, and seemed to have no dif- ficulty holding on. It is the first time in history a challenger has engaged in anything remotely like brush with her future opponent.

NEW ORLEANS GRID FANS
 SEEK NAME FOR CLASSIC

New Orleans (UP)-Football fans of the south are working their brains overtime trying to hit upon name for the New Years day gridiron classic to be played in New Orleans next Jan. 1.
 The contest for a name for the classic is sponsored by the New Orleans Mid-Winter Sports Asso- citation.
 The term Sugar Bowl" has been applied to the game thus far. Louisiana is known as the Sugar Bowl' of the nation, so the title would help to identify the classic. Altogether more than 100 names have been suggested by fans in all parts of the south.
 For the best name, a complete box to the contest. which will fea- ture an outstanding Southern team against a team from the East or Middle West, will be a. warded.

Judging by the pitching rec ords, Lynwood Rowe has mas tered the gastronomic art |. Bucky Harris, who managed the Detroit Tigers last year, said the Schoolboy would take his place among the illustrious as quicfkly as he learned how to eat .. A nervous stomach frequently forced the Eldorado wonder to chuck it in the midst of an effective after- noon.

Norton, a native Scotsman, now 56, stiii is attached to the Dixie club, put is putting in this summer with Runyan at the Metropolis Coun- try Club, White Plains, N. !. .. Craig Wood, whom Runyan repeiled at the second extra hole in the P. G. A.. final, brought the little man with the big spoon from Hot Springs to the Forest Hills Field Clubk, Bloomfield. N.

 Jack Dempsey's popularity. in addition to his screeching color in the ring and personality, was and is-due to the fact that so many lines of endeavor claim the Manassa Man Mauler as their own. .. :.

The senator at large from Wis consin was wagging an elbow as far back as 1913, and since then has seen service with every club in the National league but Cin- cinnati and Philadelphia, and was recently discharged by the Yam kees.
 Old Burleigh's latest feat was to out-wag Carl Hubbell, the New York southside specialist in a six hit performance for PittSburg- where he saw service, incidentally, in 1916.
 Others of the old guard have been dazzling the adolescents, how ever. These include old Tom Zach off by Boston and picked up by Brooklyn; Flint Rhem, who goes in and out of the big leagues like a man in revolving door; Fish Hooks Stout, who became an old man in the minors before he hit the big loop, and the venerable Jesse Haines of St Louis.
 MT Rhem, who comes from a widespot in the road called Rhems, down in South Carolina, IS prob ably the most successful of the old timers, having won eight and lost only three for the Boston Braves.
 Flint has been around since 1924. but has had two trips back to the minors. He is noted for his moral influence as we'll as his pitching arm, having supervised the personal conduct of Grover Cleveland Alexander when old Pete was touring the Memphis beer halls as a member of the St Louis pitching staff.
 Rhem Rams Cubs Yesterday Rhem bowled an eight-hit game against the Chicago Cubs. trouncing them 6-1 in the second game, after Chicago had beaten Boston 3-2 in a ten inning opener.

In the past, several contests have been played with an attempt to decide this question, but there never has been a truly represen- tative bunch of college boys on any one school team to test the caliber of the pros. In the com ing game. however, you'll have practically all of 1933's All-Amer- ica squad in the fray for the honor of Joe College.
 Players on the college squad were selected by popular vote, and the gridders who received the most ballots were Skladany. Pitt, and Smith, Washington. ends; krause, Notre Dame. and Schwammel, Oregon State, tack les; Rosenberg, Southern Cal, and Schammel, Iowa, guards; Bernard, Michigan, center; Laws Iowa, quater0ack; Lukats, Notre Dame, and Feathers, Tennessee. halfbacks; and Sauer, Nebraska, fullback.
 We'll Liked
 All but one of these players - Laws-received first team mention on the majority of All-America se- lections, and apparently. through popular opinion, are the ones who should face the Bears. But after that poll that selected the all-star baseball teams for their contest in July. the public may be ignored again.
 defeat of collegians by the pros has been the lack of team work Handicapped by lack of time to work out together under the guid- ance of an experienced coach, they have been no match for the smooth money machines whose stars have played together for years under one system.
 This year the same situation is apparent. With less than a month to round into shape, the school boys are at distinct dis advantage, despite the fact the pro season hasn't yet started to give the salaried gents the edge in practice.
 Know Their Stun
 While the pros may return to the job a little stale from their long layoff, they will know back ward and forward the system they utilized so we'll to make them selves champions of tbe pro cir cult in 1883 and wipe up the class of the west coast ex-collegians in a post-season tour last winter.
 If the choice of the people is to be followed sby the collegiate coaeh-who now is being selected by vote = the starting lineup to confront the Bears will include players who have learned their football under the Jones, Rockne, Kipke, Sutherland. and half dozen other systems. Any at tempt to instiil one system in the minds of these boys will necessi- tate most of them learning the game all over again. And that can't be done in the two or three weeks remaining before the game.
 It is for this reason that. de- feat is hanging over the heads Of the lads fresh from the institu- tions of learning. Stars, every one of them is, it's true, but we're afraid that team composed of stars with different ideas about how to play the game will be sadly out of place when it comes to competing with the smooth functioning outfit of stars that go to make up the Bears.
 Bill Hewitt, Jack Manders, Red Grange, Broncho Nagurski. and the rest of the Bears were quite some, shakes as college players. too. It has taken a lot of prac- tice and team work for them to succeed in the tough game played by the pros.
