That Roland Roe scaled stu

Vised me to go west.
With the flippancy for which I
am noted in my circle, asked
Lawson Little why 1, no longer a

He answered, and very promptly,
that I should go west in June if
for no other reason than to be
present when the national open golf
championship was won by the low

Mr.. Little crept into his shell of

10th year of professional fighting,
Ross has been a clear, honest fight
er, and a master-craftsman who
shot the works and gave the fans
a run for their money every time
he crawled through the gopes.
Barney's friends say he will hang
up his gloves if brown-skinned,
bull shouldered Armstrong beats
him. Barney was married since his
last important bout, the one in
which he retained his title against
Ceferino Garcia in blood and
thunder battle during the carnival
of champions. And Barney would
like to concentrate on his JeWelry
business in Chicago.
But will he lose, that is a ques-
ton causing almost as much de-
bate along Bruiser boulevard as
the -Schmeling issue. At the
present writing it seems that Ross
will go into the ring slight bet
ting faVorite because of his superior
boxing technique. experience, and
weight advantage. He may be top
man at 6-5 or Us.
Should 29-year old Barney make
poor showing in training, the
odds may shift to Armstrong, who
arrives Sunday from Hot Springs,
Ark, to start conditioning at Pomp-
ton Lakes, N. J.
Barney's condition will be the
paramount factor in this fight, be-
cause his ability or inability to
stand the terrific pace Armstrong
sets unquestionably will determine
the winner. Even the most ardent
Armstrong admirer will admit that
the Ross of '33, "a and '35-the Ross
who whipped Tony Canzoneri and
Jimmy McLarnin-could beat the
present Armstrong with ease. That,
despite Hammering Henry's amaz-
ing mayhem record of 80 knock
