ROSS Is CHOICE
OVERARMSTRONC
Ready for Welterweight Title
Go Tonight After Two
Postponements.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,


NEW YORK. May 31.-The city
having been blinking in unaccustomed
sunlight for two whole days, there is
good reason to believe that Barney
Ross and Henry Armstrong finally will
| fight their welterweight title duel to-
night at Madison Square Garden Bowl.
II the weather should intervene
| again, it is about as good bet as any
that Promoter Mike Jacobs will tear
out his few remaining hairs and post
pone the affair for couple of months.
Already 1t has encroached far too
close to the Schmeling Louis date,
June %. for Mikes peace of mind. and
the forecast for tonight is none too
promising.
Looms as Crowd Pleaser.
Despite all the hard luck, tonight s
scrap still shapes up as a surefire
crowd pleaser. although the probability
of knockout is being discounted.
Ross, due to enter the ring at
around 142 pounds to Armstrong, s
anticipated 1874, continues a steady
7-to-5 choice In his workouts, the
popular Jewish champion has con-
vinced some very sharp-eyed observers
that he still is little too much man
for Armstrong.
Too many of the featherweights and
lightweights whom Armstrong put
away in cold storage in the past two
years were scared silly before Hank
even started swarming at them. In
Ross he tackles welterweight who
never has been scared of anybody.
Ross Still Favored.
There is the fact, made much Of by
Armstrong adherents, that Ross at 28
undoubtedly has passed his peak.
Further, he hasn't had serious fight
In eight months. Still, this vote thinks
he will outbox the relentless Negro
without much difficulty, punish him
severely with sharp rights and reduce
him to beaten, bewildered boy at the
finish of the is rounds.
They are weighing in and having
their pulses taken again at noon today
at the State Athletic Commission.
It's a meaningless performance, how
ever. as they made the stipulated
weights last Thursday. when the bout
originally was scheduled, and that was
pronounced SUFFICIENT.

Hurlers Krakky and Kelley
'Conditioning,' Other Criffs
Tuning Hitting on off Day

Home and an open date in schedule
offered no rest for the Senators today
as they returned from Philadelphia,
where they broke even in the Decora-
ton Day double-header. For Mana
ger Bucky Harris, casting wary eye
on the invading Chicago White Sox
and other Western clubs, today Or
dered his squad to Griffith Stadium
for period of batting practices and
conditioning.
The conditioning" program, it de-
velops, was to feature Pitchers Harry
Kelley and Joe Krakauskas Although
he has lost Is pounds since he was
bought by Washington for $4,000 from
the Athletics, Kelley is not deemed in
shape as yet by Harris. So far Harry
hasn't shown he can fool the hitters
and Bucky is clinging to the hope that
perhaps Kelley merely is not in shape
and never has been conditioned this
season.
Krakauskas, used infrequently by
the Senators in the spring and less
by the Trenton team, to which he was
farmed and from which he was re-
turned, also lacks condition, accord
ing to Harris. The pair was to be put
to work shagging flies today.
The capacity crowd of 35,724 yes
terday at Shibe Park was a pleasant
surprise to the Griffs and relief to the
turnstile drought for the Athletics
En- route to Philadelphia. the unofficial
estimate of the crowd was placed
hopefully at 10000.
The clear. cold day and the AS rec
ord of five wins in their last six games
combined to bring out the throng. It
was too cold to run to Atlantic City
for a swim and Philly is a good ball
town when it has something to yell
about.

STARTERS ROUTED
IN SPLIT WITH AS
De Shong to Face Chicago
After Appleton Is Used
to Do Weaver'S Work,
By FRANCIS E. STAN.

Day by day this American League
pennant race becomes more bewilder-
ing to Bucky Harris and his Senators.
They were back from Philadelphia
today to enjoy an open date in the
schedule. Their four-game winning
streak is broken and, to all outward
appearances, Bucky is hard up for
pitching. But
For all Of their slab woes, the Griffs
found themselves still in third place,
only half a game out of second place,
and only four games from the league
lead. Moreover, in their misery they
are having company. Their other
rivals can't seem to untrack them
selves either.
The Senators moved into Philadel-
phia yesterday with a three-game
winning streak, promptly made it four
straight by taking the opener of a
Memorial Day double header, 9 to 4.
On the strength of this victory they
moved into second place, but before
the long, cold afternoon was over
they had slipped back into third. The
AS, profting by some bad pitching,
won the nightcap, 9 to /.
Prosperity Not for Weaver.
The two-gane, one-day series in
Philadelphia brought little Joy into
the life of Harris, for all of its lack
OF penalty in the team standing.
Bucky started Monte Weaver in the
opener and saw the Griffs get Monte
60 lead in the first inning But
Monte, ordinarily a hard-luck pitcher,
could not stand this prosperity. He
lasted exactly one inning, giving up
four runs himself.
So unimpressiye was Weaver that
Pete Appleton was waved to the box
at the start of the Athletic second
inning. Pete was great. He scat
tered five lonely hits over the last
eight innings and pitched shutout
ball while the Griffs romped to VIC
tory.
But the use Of Appleton upset
Bucky's pitching plans. With the
White Sox coming into Griffith Sta
dium tomorrow to open a long home
stand. Harris had hoped to have
Appleton available against the tough
est team in the league for the Griffs
to lick. Now he must figure other
wise. Bucky has no recourse but to
pitch Jimmy De Shong tomorrow in
the opener, although De Shong has
not been effective of late and Harris
did not plan on using him as starter.
Chase Fails in Nightcap.
Bucky's cup Of joy was not exactly
filled to- overdowing in the second
game, either. Joining Weaver as q

who shaves
Every Day
If your face feels
scraped after shaving,
you need this
ne,0-type shave cream

ITALY shaving leaves most
~ mems faces raw and sensitive.
This is especially true of the man
who, because of his business and
social status, must shave erery day.
To meetthis condition, Williams
has now developed a new shave
cream for daily shavers. It's called
Glider. After washing face thor
oughly with soap and warm water
to remove razor-dulling grit, you
spread on Glider quickly and easily
with your fingers. No brush. No
lather.
Il superabundance of moisture
is contained in this rich, smooth
cream. 1t softens each whisker right
down to the skin, yet forms a pro-
tective layer over your face to keep
blade from scraping. Swiftly and
gently your razor glldes over your
skin soathoua tearing or Irritating.

in the press box, which accommodates
some 400. The last time the press box
was filled was in 1885, when School
boy Rowe won his 18th straight pitch
ing victory in Philadelphia.
The Mats half of the first inning in
the opener lasted 16 minutes, what
with AL Williams giving up four bases
on balls and single and Bud Thomas
tossing up a triple and a single. But
Monte Weaver was equal to the task
Monte required exactly 16 minutes to
dispose of the AS in their half, giving
up a triple, two singles and terrific
home run by Chapman.
If every inning had taken 80 min
utes to play, the first game would have
lasted hours and 48 minutes. For
a double-header at that rate the en-
tertainment would last hours and 36
minutes. That's lot of ball for a
guys buck-ten. y
The Griffs have a lucky infield
practice ball they are guarding with
their lives. It has the look of a relic
that ought to belong in the Coopers-
town Baseball Museum. with the early
exhibits. But the Griffs will use no
other.
The schedule calls for a game in
Philadelphia today between the AS
and the Mats but this one was called
off some weeks ago. It will be played
off July as part of Sunday double
header.
Johnny Stone made fine catch of
drive by Pinch-hitter Mule Haas in
the seventh inning of the opener yes
terday. Stone bumped hard against
the concrete wall in right field and
reached for a gloved-hand catch.
Clark Grif1th really has that pen
nant fever. ANY club can win the
pennant in the American League"
said Griff in Philly, even the Ath-
letics. As a matter Of fact like the
AS. Best young ball club I've ever
SEEN"
Grandpappy Grifith's trip to Phila-
delphia was his first in long time
During the last several years he had
confined his touring with the Mats to
an occasional trip to New York.
Buddy Lewis didn't hurt himself in
the opener. He liked the pitching of
AL Williams, Bud Thomas and Ed
Smith, collecting four singles in six
times at bat. But in the second game
he drew blank after five trips at bat.
