exCeptlOnS, none OF Ine RInleteS need
ed that much time to condition them
selves and club owners are reported
not only sensing this fact but also are
suspecting an unvoiced complaint on
their part as to the length Of the
training season.
Clark Griffith. president of
the Washington firm, has made
no definite decision rs to how
long his Mats will train in 1888
but he shares the growing
opinion that present-day ball
players don't need as much time
to train as In former days.
Most of them," explains Griffith.
"are more intelligent than the old
school player. Instead of spending
the Winter eating themselves hog fat
and guzzling beer, they manage to
keep in fair shape and need not be
worked TO death in the Spring"

ROSS KEEN ABOUT

BY the Associated Press


- HICAGO, April 10.-Barney
Ross, world welterweight
champion, thinks Pedro Mon
tanez is great little fighter,
wishes him lots of luck and hopes
soon Ito knock his block off,
That's the way Ross felt today as
he left for Waukesha, Wis, to spend
several days resting and doing light
training. Never far out of shape, the
champion is particularly anxious to
keep on edge these days, the reason
being Montanez, the Puerto Rico buzz
saw who last Monday whipped Light
weight Champion Lou Ambers.
I've never seen Montanez fight"
said Ross, who has lacked formidable
opposition since 1885, when he licked
Jimmy McLarnin for second time
'but from reports he is great boy
with his fists. hope he gets better
We could put on real fight before a
real crowd anywhere"

Puerto Rico Seeks Fight.

THE anywhere" may be Puerto
Rico. Sam Plan, one of Ross
managers, expects a communication
this week end from Pedro Serrallis,
Puerto Rican promoter who is anxious
to put Montanez against Ross before
the home folks.
THE attitude OF the New York Box
ing Commission may force us to go to
Puerto Rico, although we'd prefer New
York" said Plan. THE commission
wants Ross to meet Ceferino Garcia,
who wouldn't draw near what Mon
tanez would.
"We will ask definite guarantee to
go to Puerto Rico. If We could put the
bout on in New York we wouldn't
worry about a guarantee because we
know the bout would be a natural"

got credit for the victory, started the
uprising with a single and another

The only disappointing feature, from
