GREAT STRUGGLE
ASSURED TONIGHT
Barney's Backers Point to
Foes Untested Stamina.
Neither Ever o. K.'d.
By GAYLE TALBOT.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Chances are
that one of the great fights OF boxing
history will be seen tonight In a Dig
sunken saucer out on Long Island,
when Barney Ross defends his vel
terweight championship against the
phenomenal Negro featherweight king
Henry Armstrong.
There have been lot of bigger
fights. but it would be difficult to re-
call one that promised more pure
unaduIterated action than this 15-
rounder between the two best little
men in the business. In some respects
it is a greater natural than the Louis
Schmeling duel to be fought four
weeks from now.
Neither Armstrong nor Ross ever
have been knocked out. and between
them they virtually have cleaned out
the lighter divisions. Only Lou Am
bers, the lightweight champion, re-
mains to give them real argument.
The winner tonight is due to fight
Lou later in the summer.
Everything points to one of those
vicious, relentless affairs where they
pile into each other at the first bell
and keep it up.
Few Look for Kayo.
Such betting as there was today
still favored the 28-year-old Barney
to stem the younger Henry's lunging,
swinging attack, and at the end to have
his sodden glove lifted by the referee.
Scarcely one Of the experts thought
there would be a knockout, despite
Armstrong; record of having stopped
35 of his last 81 victims.
The Negro's trail of destruction did
| not lead him through men like Ross,
who has stood and slugged for total
of 125 rounds with Jimmy McLarnin
Tony Canzoneri, Billy Petrolle and
Ceferino Garcia. Armstrong hasn't
met that kind.
Ross only knockdown came when
Garcia conked him for a 3 count in
| their first meeting. Barney got off the
! floor to beat him. Ross legs doubt
less are not what they were in his
great battles a few years back, but
they carried him through IS rounds
