SHORE ALL SET FOR COMEBACK
 ON BOSTON ICE
Hubs "FOrOtten M a n'' Ready to Resume Class
 That Made Him Idol
By ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Staff Correspondent)

By ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, Nov. Il (UP)-Eddie Shore, the old iron horse of the Boston Bruins, today was fashioning the No. l comeback of the newly born National Hockey league cam paign.
 After e season in which he ex- perienced heartaches common to every forgotten man." the Edmon- ton Express is ready to go a-roarin' down the ice again as in the days of yore. And if you ever saw old No. ? go a-roarin' down the ice in his prime, you win understand.
 Until last year, he was the dur able defenseman in every sense ot the word. No amount of battering- and he's taken plenty in the 19 years he's been playing hockey-could lay him low. He was on iron man. He was color personiiied. He was the Babe Ruth of hockey, the toast ot the town.
 But the guy is human, after all And last year all the poundings he absorbed In dealing out bruisine body checks finally caught up with him. A back injury put him on the shelf last January. In cruelty quick fashion, shore-the idol of the Bos- ton hockey public-became the flor gotten man."
 He would mingle with the crowds before game time. But there were no more well wishers. no more auto- graph seekers. Other players even wore his sacred No. 3. Then, when the Bruins were eliminated from the plyay-offs, he quietly packed his be- longings and headed for his farm In Alberta. To all intents and pur- poses Shore was at the end of the trail, all washed up at S3.
 On that long ride back to AL berta, there must have been bitter reflections. The hero had been soon forgotten. He had given much to the game of hockey. He ha dsutfered untold mental torture during those trying days after nearly pumping Ace Bailey into eternity. And now, as the shadows of retirment closed In on him, there was only more bitterness. Like Bath Ruth, Shore had entertained managerial hopes. And like Ruth, he got no encour- agement.
 Scarcely q month ago, Shore re- ported for training. He was & new man. Or, rather, ne was the Shore of the days of yore. The same old zip the same dashing spirit. Nc traces of the back injury that nearly drove him into retirement.
 1T feel as good as ever," Shore said today. " Last Saturday nights game against Montreal convinced me can still hand out body checks like did in the old days and take 1t in return. I'm rarin' to go."
 And Art Ross, manager of the Bruins, was even more enthusiastic about the new streamlined Edmon- ton Express.
 Hes in the best shape he's ever been. He's gotten over the man. agerial complex he had last season, There's Q great spirit about him, Shore is still a great hockey player and still as fast as ever"
 Still aS fast as ever-
 That's the tip-otf. If you ever saw Shore go zooming down the ice on those thrill-filled power plays of his, you can appreciate the signiA- canoe of that statement,
 So clear the tracks The throttle of the Edmonton Express is wide open.

FIRST FEATHER TO ESTABLISH CLEAR
 CLAIM TO TITLE SINCE 1882 IS LITTLE
 BLACK DEMPSEY WITH HANDS OF A GIRL

months, and make Spoldi, big, tough lightweight, suspect that he was in the bombing area In Shong- hal.
 The cycle of great flehtesr grows wider with the years, and Arm strong Is one of those ring raritics that bob up too infrequently now adays,
 The son-in-law of e preacher Homicidal Henry is slender littie Negro with the hands of Q girl. And he talks as fast and as well as he fights,
 It's going long way to draw q comparison. but. he perhaps Is best described as Q little Jack Dempsey, He weaves and bobs and hooks and works on the body until he pulls the other fellows hands down. He Isn't exactly e one-punch knockerout, but he hits hard and often. Opponents feel like having him arrested for following them around He never gives them e rest.
 Bad News for Fcnthe, weights
 Armstrong has been performing at as much as l32 pounds and it was feared that doing l26 pounds would weaken him la the Sarrol, scrap. But he came In at l24 and apparently as strong as John Mon- tague. The examining physician found more moisture In his system than that of Sarron, who wasn't eX- pected to have trouble making the class limit.
 This was disconcerting news t0 the remainder of the featherweight field, if any. The other l26-pound- CTS wouldn't be adverse to Hammer ing Henry invading the lightweight division.
 Armstrong would vacate his new ly won title In Q minute If he could be assured a match with Lou Am. bers, the lightweight leader, but that no doubt will not take place until next spring. If then.
 Armstrong would be favorite over the mauling Ambers, He'd beat him as sure as Clint Frank can throw passes, and I'm not so certain that Barney Ross, the Welter boss, could repel the little piece of flying ebony from St. Louis,
 Abe Attell and other first-rate feathers spotted more formidable fighters than Ross as much or more weight than Armstrong would have to concede the Chicago lad, and got away with 1t.
 Believes Fighter should Fight
 Armstrong has fought oftener than once every two weeks sine the first of the year. This accounts for the boys being fooled In regard to his ability to make l20 pounds. The reason he was heavier again..t heavier opponents was that hO kept so active that he required . mlni- mum of work, He was ready for tho great majority of his fights after doing 0 little road work, rope skip ping, and shadow boxing. So wheY, he buckled down in training for the sarron engagement, the surplus poundage came off easily and natu. rally.
 Armstrong Is .a breath of fresh all after the run of Basses, Routises, eattalinos, Tommy Pauls, Johnny Penas, Lew Feldmans, Chocolates, Millers, Belloises, and sairons. He has proved himself worthy of the mantle of Dixon, Mcdovern, Young Corbett, Harry Forbes Abe Atteli, Kilbane, Criqui, Johnny Dundee, Louis K'd Kaplan. and Canzoneri.
 And he Is q welcome relief in that he believes that a fighter should fight.

Rapid moves toward continued
peace in the Balkans are being made,
the Greek Legation here said yester-
day in a statement announcing it had
learned from a reliable source that

the Bulgarian government has sub
mitted to Yugoslavia the proposition
that Greece and Rumania be invited
to join in the pact.
"It is noted" the Legation said.
that the desire for reconciliation
with the other Balkan states mani
tested by Bulgaria constitutes a fact
concordant with the basis of the
Balkan pact (first signed in 1929 and
renewed in 1934). which aims to as
sure peace in the Balkans by main
tanning the actual status quo"
