Encounter

NEW YORK. May 27.-Mike
Jacobs, the old rainmaker, will
have to wait until next Tuesday
to stage his welterweight cham.
pionship bout between Barney
Ross, the champion, and Henry
Armstrong, featherweight chal-

The match was postponed for
the second time in two days today

Commission for a physical check.
up. This means Armstrong and
Ross will have to weigh-in again

The decision came after a gray

but the weather bureau squelched

MIKES THIRD DELAY
Mike decided not to tempt the
Ifates further and pushed the fight
right into next week. This Is the
third important bout that Jacobs
has had washed out by the
weather.
Jacobs was in q fair way toward
equalling the late Tex Richards
famous luck with the weather
until Joe Louis fought Max
Schmeling here two summers ago.
That fight was postponed one
night. Next was the battle between
Tommy Farr and Louis which also
suffered q couple of delays.
Both fighters lifted the reStric-
lions on weight imposed by an
agreement reached when they
Originally signed. This called for
Armstrong, still technically the
featherweight champion, to weigh
at least 1876 pounds while Ross
was required to weigh no more
than 142.
Both Ross and Armstrong went
into immediate training this after
moon. Henry intended to return
to his Pompton Lakes, N. j., camp
but Louis has already moved in to
prepare for his scrap with Schmel-
ing on June %, so the Armstrong
board Of strategy decided to fin
iSh up at Stillman's gym.
DELAY HURTS BOXERS
Ross also will train at Stillman's.
The delay will hardly benefit
either boxer because of the pecu-
liar condition Of this fight. Arm
strong must scale over 1876 pounds
and Ross can't make over 142-ac-
cording to the agreement that was
signed. This means Henry is

Different Style

It is not likely that Kearns
will use the identical tactics
with Adamick, who has his own
style, which is different from
Dempsey's way of doing things.
But Kearns will fit the methods
to the capabilities of his man,
and the result will be all right.
KearnS has adopted some
what different tactics with
Adamick than he did with some
of his other fighters so far as
publicizing them is concerned
Some years ago he had one
Napoleon Jack Dorval. who was
supposed to be a super-Dempsey.
Kearns flooded the country
with tales of the terrific hitting
power Of Dorval; of his speed
and his fiery fighting spirit.
So Mr.. Dorval fought in
Madison Square Garden one
night and they had to fumigate
the building for days following.
He was a terrible hambone.
Kearns is letting Adamick
speak for himself, and this will
be his policy until the youngSter
