troit Tigers were to move their

weather unfavorable to the Amer
lean League champions caused
cancellation of the game here yes
terday. Manager Charley Dresser

ROSS IS READY.
FOR WOODS

s e A L L l. E, WASH, April y,
Barney Ross, lightweight and
Junior welterweight champion Of
the world, and Henry Woods,
Yakima Negro challenger for
Ross junior welter title, today
we're all set for their 12-round
fight here tonight.
Ross, although confident, real
ICES the Yakima Negro is no push
over. Although Woods is prac-
tically unknown out Of the Pa
cific Northwest, wise railbirds
have agreed he will give Ross a
stiff battle. Among those rail-
birds is Jimmy McLarnin, welter-
weight champion, who may meet
Ross in New York this summer.
While even the Staunchest sup
porters of Woods do not expect
him to take the Chicago kings
measure, they do expect a hard
fight. The negro's punching abili-
ties have been well illustrated in
previous bouts.
Art Winch, one of Ross man
angers, guessed" the champ
would scale 1873 pounds at fight
time. Woods will probably just
come in under the 140-pound limit
for the division. He weighed 1881 "
after completing training Sunday
and may add a few ounces before
weighing in this afternoon.
The lads are in the best Of con-
dition. Ross has completely re-
covered from his attack of neu-
ritis and Woods has trained him.
self into the best condition of his
career.
The all-star card is expected to
bring out more than 5000.

KINGSPORT, Tenn, April 9.
After almost a weeks separation,
the New York Giants resume hos

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 9.
At the end of today's last game
with the Toronto Maple Leafs
here, the Brooklyn Dodgers will
board an iron horse and bid a
fond adieu for 1885 to Florida.
They will head for Washington
for two exhibitions with the Sena-
tors. The club took the measure

has but one hope - that his

same pace, they will breeze in with
about 20 games to spare.
