Ross Knocks Out
Woods in Fourth

INDIANAPOLIS, June 10.
Barney Ross today had shown
boxing fans here that he belongs
right where he is-the ace welter-
weight of the world.
Last night the speedy Chicago
boy. in a flashy exhibition Of
punching and boxing, knocked out
Chuck Woods Of Detroit in the
fourth round Of a scheduled 10
round overweight bout.
Ross was master of the situa-
ton from the opening bell. He
won the first round handily, bat
tered Woods groggy in the second,
and in the third he had his foe
on the floor for counts of eight
and nine.
In the fourth, a terrific right
hand flush to the button flattened
the Detroit fighter.
Ross weighed 143 pounds and
Woods 148.

1S.-Al Ulbrickson, Washington's
coach, will send his two boats
down the river in a race this eve

The varsity crew, last years
Olympus champions, have been
coming along slowly since their
arrival here and their showing
has not been pleasing to their
coach. In west coast trials they
were consistently beaten by the
JayveeS.
At other crew quarters, how
ever, little credence was given the
rumor the JayveeS would start II
the Poughkeepsie regatta. 1t was
generally conceded Ulbrickson was
merely talking to whip up the
spirits of his varsity squad.

The nearest to a fight that
Braddock has been in over this

of two and three-round exhlbl-

with his official guinea pig. a

mental state.
Enjoys the Role
He actually seems to enjoy the
role of underdog, which seems to
have been his especial designation
throughout most Of his fighting
career, including the night two
years ago he won the title from
Max Baer with the odds 8 to !
against him.
Then there were five or six
fights previous thereto wherein
Braddock was the short-ender,
only to upset the dope, notably his
victories over Pete Latzo, when he
was / to 6; fluffy Griffiths, at l
to 8; Jimmy Slattery, at to a;
Corn Griffin, at l to 6; John
