Postponement Seen Aid.
To Armstrong's Chances.
Lessened Profits
Seems LikeIv,
However
By DAVIS ]. WALSH

International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, May % q.N.SO {.
Nobody being any more exhausted
than this stoop-shouldered agent
by the continued quieScence and
repose in connection with what
started out to be a gripping en-
counter for the worlds weller
weight championship, can only
believe today that, if anyone can
possibly profit from all this
inertia it must be Henry Arm
strong, the colored-chile chal-
lenger. With the weight-rap off
for purposes of next Tuesdays
third attempt to conduct the pro-
motion, Henry ought to be close
to even money against Barney
Ross, the defending champion.
Ross was once rs, but that was
before Thursdays first postpone
ment because of too much rain.
Yesterday the thing was called, Il
suspect, on account of too mucn
darkness last night. It was rain
ing at noon when the postpone
ment was taken.
If they keep this up they'll also
be poStponing the profits. A sale
of 500, 900 was claimed on Thurs
day, but nothing much was sold
on Friday.
ARMSTRONG GAINS
And if anybody comes back
from his vacation on Tuesday with
the change out of a quarter, it
stands to reason that he had a
rotten time.
But Henreh is at least one bene-
ficiary on this prolonged anguish.
He now can weigh what he will,
probably a little more than 1873
pounds; whereas Ross had him
doing 1876 at noon, taking off four
pounds before nightfal and put
ting it on back again by day
break. Ross also was given the
privilege of weighing anything
under the welterweight limit Of
lat pounds, with the result that
probably he'll do nearly 143.
That's one reason he's favorite,
the absence of scale.worry. An
other is that he still seems to be
def and agile and spry, in spite
of the mileage his pedics have
given him.
