r AsTERN and Western dia-
r monders were to battle today
at O'Clock in the Eastern
Stadium in the final game of
the public high school championship
base ball series. Eastern, which al
ready has clinched the title, was to
strive for its fourth win in as many
series starts. Western hoped to sur
prise by winning and thereby gain
triple tie for second place with
Roosevelt and Central, each with two
wins and two defeats. Central drub-
bed Tech yesterday. 1875.
Eastern and Western originally were
listed to meet Friday, but the game
was advanced to avoid interference
with the Memorial day week end.
Central made its series record 500
yesterday when it socked three Tech
pitchers for Is hits to wallop the
Mckinley contingent. Tech today
had undisputed possession of last
place with one win against three
losses.
RowIes Pitches Well.
WHILE Central was hammering
the old apple. Lefty Rowles, its
little pitcher. was hurting superbly.
He gave up nary a hit or a run until
the sixth. when Walter Merchant
singled and Cotton Crawford got hold
of one for long drive to center that
was good for a homer.
Central scored four runs in the third
inning to give 1t SO lead and there
after it was a rout for Coach Jack
Rays proteges. They treated all
Techs pitchers. Bill Liegett. Specks
Elgin and Sonny Cassenway. with no
respect whatever.
Don Dunlap and Walter Smith each
socked four hits to head Central's at
tack. One OF Smiths blows was q
homer, his second Of the series. Reed
Taylor, Central first sacker, also
clouted one for the circuit.

victim Of Barney Ross failing fists
in the third and most decisive ot
their three welterveight title bat

shake off the jinx that has pursued
holders Of the 147-pound crown.
McLarnin's defeat marked the
eleventh successive time that a
weller champion has been beaten
in his first defense of the title.
The streak started when Joe
Dundee was toppled by Jackie

ROSS EDGE CLOSE,
DEMPSEY REVEALS
Gave Barney Five Rounds,
McLarnin Three, Called
Other Seven Even.
BY JACK DEMPSEY,

and Referee Of DISQUALIFICATION Fight
n YEW YORK, May 29.-I gave
nj the decision to Barney Ross,
because in my opinion he did
most of the leading. He
blocked a good many punches, and
he always was willing to gamble In
the rallies with McLarnin.
Ross hit clean punches, and at the
finish he was the fresher
1t was not a hard fight to referee;
both boys are real champions. They
knew what to do at all times. 1t
was a remarkably clean fight and at
no time did l have to penali2e either
fighter for foul or unfair tactics.
In most fights there are more
blows that land low, or blow that
is barred Some of these do no dam
age, but in this fight there were very
few of these. Certainly there were
none that I could object to.
How Jack Figures 1t.
THE fight was close, as l expected
it to be. I gave five rounds 10
Ross. the first. second, eleventh.
twelfth and thirteenth. Three to,
McLarnin. the fourth, seventh and
ninth, and I thought the rest were
even That shows how close the
battle was.
Ross youth is what won for him.
He had too much stamina and re-
cuperating power for Jimmy. He
fought a very smart fight, and I
think he will be a hard man for
any one in the class to beat.
1t seemed to me that Jimmy either
has a bad right hand, or he was
fearful of hurting it. He shot very
few rights OF course, Barney's sd-
mirers would say that Ross kept
McLarnin from using the right. But
to me it looked as if McLarnin just
hasn't got as good right hand as he
had.
Ross had two good hands last night
and he made great use of them. 1t
was a great fight and great fighter
won. l hope Barney enjoys his title
| a long time. He deserves it.

BARNEY SUPERIOR
At EVERY ANGLE
Foster Bitter Over Dempsey
Refereeing After Naming
Chicagoan to Win.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

"A VIEW YORK, May 29-Barney
N Ross, the flashing eyed Chi
cago clouter who doesn't rest
easy without at least one world
fistic crown atop his raven thatch,
perched himself back on the welter-
weight throne today with the distinc-
ton not only of outslugging the great
Jimmy McLarnin, but of being prob
ably the Irishman's final conqueror.
McLarnin didn't take his defeat at
the Polo Grounds last night AS Bit
terly as did his veteran manager, Pop
Foster, who said his protege was
through with the fight game after 10
spectacular years. but Jimmy was
whipped with sufficient thorougnneSs
to discourage much idea OF making a
successful comeback.
McLarnin contemplated retirement
win. lose or draw, in his third oattie
with Ross for the welter title, and
probably will make his future plans
known definitely in day or two.
The veteran manager not only IN
sisted Jimmy will hang up his gloves
in a heated statement after the hght
but delivered an attack on the selec'
ton Of Jack Dempsey as referee
charging the former heavyweight hne
had disqualified himself by openly
favorinr Ross beforehand.
