War Admiral And |SeabiScuit To
 Meet At Suffolk
By ROBERT WEBB

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, May 25-(UP)-The big four of racing-War Admiral, Sea- biscuit, Stagehand and Pompoon- will meet for the first time in the $50,00O added Massachusetts handi- cap at Suffolk Downs on June 29, Charles F. Adams, chairman of the Eastern Racing association, said to- day.
 Charles Howard, owner of Sea- biscuit, is shipping Seabiscuit to Suf- folk Downs within ten days" Adams said. He told me that tenderness in the horses knees caused the can- cellation of Seabiscuit's match race with War Admiral"
 Although Howard was unwilling to risk racing Seabiscuit over the Bel mont track, he will send the 1887 handicap champion after the rich mile and one-eighth stake over the comparatively soft Suffolk oval.
 "Seabiscuit did not run well a year ago in New York because he had only recently been shipped from the west coast" Adams said. After he came to Suffolk he hit his best form and won the Massachusetts handi- cap handily. He likes our climate" Adams has been assured by Sam uel Riddle, owner of War Admiral that the unbeaten three year old champion of 1937 will be on hand for the race. Perhaps it will be the only meeting of the Biscuit and the Admiral because, Seabiscuit, hard campaigned since he came to the races as two year old, will soon be retired.
 Adams also expects that Stage- hand, winner of the Santa Anita Derby-for three year olds-as well as the $1O0,000 Santa Anita Handi- cap, and Pompoon, second best of the 1897 three year olds, will be on hand to race against Seabiscuit and War Admiral in the Massachusetts.
 Pompoon, recent winner of $2O,0OO added Dixie Handicap in record time, was entered at the last mo- ment while Maxwell Towards Stagehand, winter book favorite for the Kentucky Derby, will start if he recovers sufficiently from his recent illness.
 The list of 43 nominations from 34 stables includes the best horses in the country. The two most re- cent winners of the stake, won in 1885 by Top Row. have been nomi- mated. Time Supply, now seven years old, may take another shot at the rich pot while Seabiscuit, who set the track record of 1 1:49 in 1937, seeks to be the first double winner.
 In addition to Stagehand, Max well Howard has named The Chief, the stables reliance in the Kentucky Derby after Stagehand was with drawn, and Sceneshifter, an older horse who fancies the distance. Mrs. Emil Denemark nominated five, Melodist, War Minstrel, Corinto, Finance and Uneasy.
 Among the other nominees are: Eagle Pass, He Did, Aneroid, Flying Scot, Clodion, Esposa, Shark, Menow and Caballero II. Last year Seabis- cuitwon $51,780 for his victory. Cab- allero II ran second, Fair Knightess third.

Feather King Will Spot. Ross Plenty of Weight; / Winner to Meet Ambers
BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent


 New York May 26-It's an an- cient argument that will be settled tonight when good big man tackles with a good little man for the well terweight boxing championship of the world.
 The 15-round title bout at Madi- son Square gardens Long Island bowl, sending Henry Armstrong against Champion Barney Ross. should answer the pros and cons of this hoary problem more conclu- sively than any previous match be- cause it is the first time that a featherweight titleholder has shot for the welter crown.
 Many boxers have gone a step above their class in seeking a good match, but this is the first time on record that a featherweight boss has skipped the lightweight division for crack at the 147-pound crown. It is true that Ross is Tight" well terweight, and that Armstrong hasn't been down to the 126-pound feather limit since he won the title, but there still will be enough diff ference in their weights to give the question its outstanding test by "lit- tie men," .
 The fighters weigh-in at noon. Ross rarely has fought at more than 142 pounds, and his contract for this match forbids him exceed ing that figure. Armstrong, who agreed to make 136 pounds-one over the lightweight limit-will be- gin drying out" immediately after stepping off the scales, and probably will carry no more than 131 or 132 pounds into the ring.
 This potential 10-pound weight advantage has made Ross the pre- fight favorite, because it is gener- ally agreed that "Homicidal Hen nery" is the most deadly puncher, pound for pound. in the pugilistic profession today Whether Ross still will be the favorite at ring time is porblematical. It depends on whether that reported $50000 sup porting Armstrong from the movie colony is in real greenbacks of Hollywood dough-"
 The fight will porvide an opponent for lightweight Champion Lou Am- bers in July. If Armstrong wins, he will fight Ambers for the later's title. If Ross wins, he will defend his welter crown against Lou, and Am- bers will give Armstrong shot at lightweight laurels in September.

AMATEURS SET FOR TEN BOUT BATTLEpROCRAM

(BY HUGO HOOKJAB)

Tonight, with the kind permission of the Weather Man, some 20 young lads from Connecticut and New York will swing 'em from the heels thereby inaugurating the outdoor boxing season for Waterbury which has been "on the fire" for a week or more. However, it seems as though tonight is the night for the Waterbury A. C., and the amateurs will Ego to town" with arrange ments also made for news from the ring on the progress of the Ross Armstrong welterweight title bout every three rounds. All this at the Randolph Gloves Stadium from 8:30 D. m. on.
 Looks Good
 Dick Turcotte of the south end eX-state lightweight champion will show against New York's Joe John- son in the main go, though two other bouts are quite comparable on paper to the so-called main event, Tommy Ciarlo, state lightweight king who won his title from Tur- cotte, takes on Dick Walsh of New York in another promising go, while Frankie Buff of this city and Ed die Rahm of New York will throw leather to swing time in 16O- pound offering that ought to pro- vide some slam bang action for every minute of the three rounds they are scheduled to battle.
 Slam Bang
 Johnny Moraz of Wolcott and Ken Reinhardt of Middlebury are down for slingeroo that ought to find one or the other on the floor be- fore round two passes on. There are plenty of others anxious to "get 'em up" including Kid Burns and Firpo Mccall of Bantam, Kid Henry of Willimantic and Joe Palooka of N. Y. Tony Kodak of Torrington and Sammy Fibre of Thompsonville, Bill Nuncio and Eddie Mays of this city, Young Levine of Willimantic and Billy Talatitia of Thompsonville.

Grossinger Lake, N. J., May 26 Since the inception 0. boxing there have been champions and champions. The superior abilities of those men of the quotation mark class in their divisions were always questioned and even in their general mannerisms and demeanor they were not suggestive of world title | holders.
 In the case of Barney Ross, who will, defend his welterweighl title | against Henry Armstrong at the Madison Square Garden Bowl, Long Island City, tonight, you will find a man unanimously hailed as a legiti- mate and rightful holder of major world crown.
 i Ross came to his title the hard way as he did the lightweight crown before. He reposes comfortably on the welterweight thrones through his second defeat of Jimmy McLar- nan and his successful defenses of the laurels against Izzy Jannazzo and Ceferino Garcia.
 Pompton Lakes, N. Y, May 26.- Inside those ropes Henry Arm strong is savage, relentless, merci- less "killer"-one of the most cold blooded assaSSins the ring has un- covered since Jack Dempsey was roaring along the heavyweight trail.
 But outside those hempen strands you couldn't meet up with more pleasant, affable, likable youngster than this same Henry Armstrong, who battles Barney Ross for the latter's welterweight laurels at Madison Square Garden Bowl, Long Island City tonight.
 Unspoiled by his amazing suc- cess, Homicide Hank has most en- gazing personality. A high school graduate, with ambitions at one time of a medical career, Armstrong is intelligent, alert and observant, and he has seen and learned much during his rambles around the country. He has become an inter- eSting conversationalist and recan- teur. But he is unassuming and modest almost to fault on the sub ject of his own fistic exploits. His spectacular success he attributes to "a lot of good luck" And he never refers to havingo beaten" an op- ponent. It's invariably When I boxed Joe Doakes-"

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

New York, May 26.-CUP)-The worlds welterweight title will not be the only thing in jeopardy to- night when Barney Ross meets Henry Armstrong in the sunken bowl built by Madison Square Gar den's "600 millionaires," now also sunken.
 In there fighting for their lives will be splendid assortment of pugilistic adages, aXioms, maxims and trusims that we sportswriters have been repeating to you patient readers ever since Gutenberg in- vented the printing press.
 Such fine old veterans of the hackneyed sentence as "a good big man can always lick good little man." and "a hungry fighter is the most dangerous fighter" face stern challenges tonight. If Armstrong. afetr spotting Ross some eight or nine pounds, beats the ears off his foe you can take that "big little man-good little man" business and drop it into the river, along with the next batch of kittens.
 If Ross wins you'll have to take out one kitten and make room for the hungry fighter is, etc., say ing. It'll be through, too. Be- cause of the two men, Ross is the more opulent. He hasn't been hun gry for ten years, at least, and will go into the ring with his insides fortified by as choice a collection of meats and vegetables as Lucullus ever had. A Ross victory will also deal body blow to those Spartan minded critics who consider com- fortable living fatal to a fighting man. The best tailors, the softest silk, the most lavish suites, and hand-and-foot attention have been the Ross standard for years.
 Another saying that will be put to the test is the one that claims a puncher. Armstrong, strictly hit ter, can't box lick. Ross is ad- mittedly the finest craftsman since Leonard. Armstrong's theory of winning is to keep moving in and keep punching. With the sound of the first bell he gets closer to his man than the buttons on vest and starts swinging leather. From here, from there, from up wonder, from down there, and from everywhere. Furthermore, he can put you in the care of the physician anytime one of those punches happen to land correctly. And the law of averages is with him in this, be- cause he throws in the neighbor- hood of two or three million of them in the course of an evening.
 Ross is as orthodox as page 8 in the manual on self defense. He maps out his moves as carefully as Capablanca. Every movement has meaning all its own. Tonight's fight will offer a definite answer

to the question of whether a scien- tist can keep his poise in the pres ence of buzz saw. I believe Ross will be able to. But Gene Tunney. chap who is as wise as tree full of owls when it comes to mat ters of le boXe, thinks Armstrong's mad maneuvers will Hting on an ut ter collapse in Ross style, thus en- abling Armstrong to rip him to bits.
 Perhaps MT. Tunney's belief is based on the memory of that even- ing long ago when a bigger Arm strong-Harry Greb-all but mas sacred bigger Ross-Gene Tunney.
 Come what may, under the hot lights of the bowl tonight, the fight promises to be the fastest, tough est, every -man-for- -himselfest en- gagement of the year.
