ODDS SHORTENED
ON ROSS T03 TO2
Both Barney and Armstrong
Apparently Helped by
Postponement.
~ the Associated Press.

By the ASSoc1ated Press.
NEW YORK, May 3o.-Barney
Ross and Henry Armstrong might be
forgiven for wanting to give 1t all
up If the weather again should inter-
fere with their date to fight for Bar
ney's welterweight title at the Madi-
son Square Garden bowl tomorrow
night, but the present dope is some-
thing entirely different.
They wound up their heavy train
ing activities for the second time
yesterday after going back to work
over the week end when the bout.
originally scheduled last Thursday,
was put over to Tuesday because OF
rain. Another delay just about would
ruin the whole thing.
The talk around Stillmans gym.
where Ross boxed three rounds with
Herbie Solomon and Augie Gonzales
and gave them tough time with
his sharp rights. was that Barney's
next move might be return to the
lightweight class.
If he retains the crown, he's slated
to defend it against Lou Ambers. the
lightweight ruler. the week Of July 26.
But there's not much other opposition
in sight. and Barney insists he has no
intention of quitting the ring.
Armstrong. who returned to his
Pompton Lakes. N. j., camp to con-
tinue his drills, also staged a stif
workout, which included three rounds
of boxing. At l35, pound under the
weight he had to make Thursday,
he looked better and faster than ever.
On one point, at least. the delay
seems to have been helpful. The
handlers of both boxers were trifle
worried over the possibility Of stale
ness q few days ago. Now both Ross
and Armstrong appear in top form.
AS a result. the odds have shortened
to to in favor of Ross, with =
prospect they'll be rated all even by
the time they step into the ring.

though the intercollegiate A. A. A. A.
track and field title is due for another

Team strife forgotten, the East Is
rallying to stop the first Western inva-
sion since 1885. The feeling seems
to be that If long John can't outfoot
them no one can.
The teams Of Southern California
and California Universities include
runners. jumpers and vaulters of great
reputation. But the East feels sure
no one will outshine Long John. the
Pittsburgh ace who has been about the
best middle distance runner in the
world since 1886.
John ran off with the 440 and the
$50 I. c. "A. titles last year and he
is back to see if he can win them
again and duplicate Ted Meredith's
trick of 1915, 1916. If he can, this
section will have gone a long way
toward keeping the title east of the
Rockies.
