NEW YORK, May 3 G.N.S).
Barney Ross has started training
and Henry Armstrong was SEIZED
uled to arrive today for the same
purpose, in preparation for their
meeting on May 26, when Ross
world welter title will be laid on
the line in the Long Island Bowl.
Ross started his conditioning
yesterday at Grossinger Lake,

being seven rounds of gymnasium
work. He will begin boxing
Wednesday with a three-round
session against Varias Milling.
The 147-pound king will engage
in comparatively light workouts
until time to begin sharpening up,
inasmuch as he already is near

campaign for his bout last Mon

Des Moines, Iowa.
Armstrong was to arrive from
Hot Springs, Ark, via st. Louis,
his home, and leave either late to-
day or tomorrow for Pompton
Lakes. N. j., where his camp will
be pitched.

ALL-TIME MARKS

While the Washington City
Duckpin Association last night
was staging the biggest night in
in its history, when 43 teams, 81
doubles and 81 singles rolled in
the twenty-eighth annual tourna-
ment at Convention Hall, Aston

ly his AIT, rolled with the Bureau

count in his all-eVents. Clarke
had previously designated his
Occidental team set, which is yet
to be rolled.
Had the Arlington wizard
counted his AIT today he would
be sporting an all-time Class A
all-eVentS record total of 1.243.
The record is held by Paul Har-
rison, of Arcadia, who totaled
1920 at Convention Hall in 1884.
Leading the Class A singles with
412, Clarke shot Ala for his sec
ond three games, when he coupled
his efforts with Bill Krauss to
bang out an all-time Class A
doubles mark of 848 for the tour
nament last week.
Low scores marked the singles

BY CHICK KENNY

Saturday, October Is, is turning
out to be one grand headache
after another for the athletic di-
rectors of the local collegiate in

To begin with, the date is a
natural for football here, as the
world series has departed from
the sport pages, and the pool-play-
ing public has set this first Satur-
day after the baseball classic as the
official opening of the grid season.
Three of the four local major
colleges have vacancies on their
respective schedules this date.

Ollie University, frittering around
with an alleged Mexican govern
ment representative for an inter-
national grid spectacle with the
University of Mexico; and the
University of Maryland, whose
game with St. Johns of Annapolis
was Cancelled by the latter's re-
quest, are groomed to have idle
squads on the date.
Maryland, alone, has chance to
fill its date with Western Mary
land, providing the TerrorS OF
Westminster can switch their en-
counter with Providence College to
another date.
Both George Washington and
Catholic U! have been Spurned in
their respective requests for a
game with Manhattan College,
either home or abroad. Manhattan
is the only institution of any i'm
portance anywhere, outside of
Washington and the immediate
surroundings, that has an open
date.
NO SCHEDULE CONFLICTS
Except fer the opening of the
football season here October J.,
there are no conflicts in the SEIZED.
ules of the respective schools.
On October /, however, George
town is booked to open with
Hampden-Sydney, while Catholic
U. prizes off the lid against Amer
lean U.
With George Washington and
Georgetown jointly renting the
Griffith Stadium for tn Ell r
clashes, arrangements have been
completed whereby the ColonialS
vii! play Friday nights and the
Hoyas Saturday afternoons.
Catholic U. broke UP the only
other conflict in attractions
when it moved it's interSectional
fracas with Miami University
from Saturday, November IL, to
