Hockey Managers
Argue On Dates

Detroit, April 3.-(UP)-Dates for
the third and fourth games in the
Stanley Cup hockey playoffs are still
very much up in the air.
The games originally were sched-
uled for Boston Tuesday and Thurs
day, and that's okay with Detroit.
But 1t isn't with the Boston Bruins
manager, Art Ross, who claims his
players will need little extra rest
after Sundays second game here.
Ross and Manager Jack Adams Of
the Red Wings met with President
Mervin Dutton of the National
Hockey league yesterday In an at
tempt to settle this dispute. but
did little else than make threats.
Adams said Detroit's team would
be in Boston Tuesday for the third
game. Ross said the Wings might
be there, but the Bruins wouldn't.
Nor will there be any Ice at Bos-
ton Gardens, he added. Adams shot
back that his team then would
claim the game by forfeit.
Dutton supported Adams IN de-
handing that the teams adhere to
the original dates, but Ross was
adamant. Things still were at a
stalemate when the meeting broke
up, but 1t was expected the princi-
pals would meet again today to
attempt final settlement.

New York, April 3.-(UP)-There
may have been giants among the
smaller men In the olden days Of
pugilism, but brother. we doubt that
any era ever produced chaps Of
such heroic proportion as that i'm
mortal duo-Barney Ross and Hen
ry Armstrong.
They were truly of championship
breed. They not only captivated the
sports world In their hey-day, but
they electrified the nation when they
came out Of retirement to fight
again.
Ross fought again at Guadalcanal
as a corporal Of the U. s. Marine
corps and accounted for 20 JapS as
he protected wounded comrades.
Meanwhile Armstrong, reluctant
conqueror of Ross In their battle
for the world welterweight title on
a cold May night in 1888. climaxed
his comeback campaign in an cleo
trifying bout with the youthful
lightweight champion, Beau Jack,
at Madison Square Garden last
night.
We couple Ross and Armstrong
not merely because they were con-
temporary clouters but because both
were Of championship breed. Meth
err would acknowledge defeat as long
as he could stand. When Armstrong
licked Ross, Barney took such ter
rife beating that the referee begged
Barney to quit. but Ross said, IF I
have to lose. I'll do 1t on my feet"
Won But Lost?
This same Armstrong-now an
old man Of the ring at 3O-displayed
civilian heroism last night In Madi-
son Square Gardens ring when he
weathered the terrific attack Of dy-
manic young Beau Jack in the early
rounds. and piodded on through
stunning leather to win the fight
In the opinion Of the 1895 cash
customers, although he lost the de-
cision I'm the ofLlcial vote.
We scored the fight even. giving
four rounds to Armstrong and four
to Beau Jack, and rating two even.
But, II we had to make q decision.
we would have thrown the fight 70
Armstrong, because Of his agrees
siveness.
The seIl-out crowd favored ARM
strong thunderously. II recognized
a miracle OF maui" II shook the
Gardens Orders with It's cheers as
Armstrong, the Eel underdog In the
betting. finished with such unex-
pected strength that Beau Jack was
almost knocked out in the ninth.
Mean while Armstrong took such
punishment, and had to follow SUCH
a blistering pace that IL seemed he
must wither. But he didn't. In the
sixth round, he must have felt gOfne-
thing like Ross at the canal-when
Beau Jack found the range with his
bol0 uppercut and shook him on
the chin ct least q dozen times -
three Of them In rapid succession.
Armstrong lost the decision. but
he re-captured the affection Of che
fans. and now HammerlE4g Henry
must be given q title shot ct Beau
Jack, Or those fans win want q
know the reason why.
