Barney Ross Signs to Mix With McLarnin Welter Champ Asks to Give Up Lightweight Crown: Baer in Muddle. BV LAWTON CARVER I nit.fi !*..• Stiff Crrfpon<lnt NEW YORK. April 16—Barney Ross request* that he be allowed to shed the world lightweight championship and meet Jimmy McLarnin for the welter title, and Max Baer s insistence that a substitute be named for James J. Braddock as challenger for the heavyweight title, today brought the New York Boxing Commission into its most important meeting in a decade. Ross’ desertion of the 135-pound throne—third such abdication in the history of the division—in itself was enough to send the three commissioners into a whirlwind of activity. Their problem was intensified by Ancil Hoffman, discontented manager of Baer, who is trying to find a way out of the Braddock fight, and irascible Madison Square Garden officials determined to hold him to his contract. Ambers to Fight Canioncri To clear up the lightweight situation the commission has announced that Lou Ambers, established as outstanding challenger, will be tossed against Tony Canzoneri, from whom Ross won the title in June. 1933, and possibly others. Madison Square Garden already has started plans for the Canzoneri match, tentatively set for May 10. Ross’ decision to quit as 135pound kingpin thus eliminates his scheduled defense for the Twentieth Century Sporting Club headed by Mike Jacobs, but this causes Jacobs no great grief. No sooner had Ross announced that he would follow Jack McAuliffe of the late 90s and Benny Leonard of a few years ago into undefeated retirement, than Jacobs signed him for his third fight with Jimmy McLarnin, with his welterweight title at stake and the bout to be held a the Polo Grounds May 28—if the commission will agree io that date. Keep Session Seeret The heavywpight muddle was definitely in the commission's lap. dropped there by Hoffman and Garden officials who could not agree on Baer's title defense in June. They went into a secret session yesterday but declined to reveal what was brewing, further than to indicate that Hoffman was trying to wiggle out of the Braddock match Decause he didn't believe it would draw a worthwhile gate. The contracts specify that the commission shall settle any dispute over the challenger. Max Is Reported Signed By United Press HAMBURG. Germany. April 16 ■Walter Rothenborg, German boxing promoter, today w r as reported to have closed negotiations for a Max Baer-Max Schmeling heavyweight championship bout to be held Aug. 17 cither at Wembley Stadium. London, or at anew stadium to be erected in Rome, it was reported that Baer would be guaranteed $300,000.

-Down the Alleys BY' BERNARD HARMON

Just like the weather of yesterday, last nights bowiing sessions turned out to be a varied mixture of sunshine and gloom. To a pair of pastimers who never had crashed the headlines before came all the sunshine, and to some of the usually outstanding pastimers came the glom. Eddie Freihage and Harry Lewis were the boys who stood out during last night’s sessions. Freihage forged to the top of the individual list when he crashed the maples for a 682 count while performing in the St. Joan of Arc League at the Uptown Alleys. Games of 225. 244 and 213 netted him his leading total and boasted his Speaks <fc Finn team to a double win orer the oppasing Indiana Railroad. One other 600 total was posted during the loop's pastiming and that came from John Naughton who totaled 639 in three games. Naughton's team, the W. J. Robinson Cos. was also a two-time winner, victims being the Uptown Cleaners. All other contests went the same as the above pair. 2 to 1 victories being registered by the Thos. Fitzgerald Coal. Hatfield Electric Supply and Wonderbar over the General Tires. Chas. Denby Cigar and Scott Trucking. Lewis came along with his brilliant total during the weekly hostilities of the Indianapolis Church League at the Fountain Square Alleys. Lewis squared off and mowed down 676 maples during his three games, getting counts of 225. 223 and 228. Paced by this neat total, his Beech Grove Christians routed the Fountain Squares, winning every game with ease. The only other honor count of the league was posted by Ernie McKinnon. a 606 series putting him across. His Edwin Ray team also won three games, the opponents being the Broadway Baptist. In other team series Beech Grove No. 1 blanked the United Bhethren and Woodruff Place Baptist took a pair from the St. Marks. The South Side Business Men’s League, which usually holds the limelight during the wash-day sessions. failed to produce any fancy scoring last night. Nan Schott fired the best individual total of the evening. a 646. but when his teammates failed to click his Bemis Bag aggregation took a three-time lacing from the Stahlhut Jewelers. The winner, paced by Gene Rufli’s 624. used a 1022 in winning its middle game. The best team total came f-om the Polar Ice & Fuel Cos., which, during its two-time win over the Heidenreieh Flowers, totaled 2967 on games of 950. 1054 and 963. The Florist team took its lone contest on a 1000 game. Bob Wuench used a 630 to head the individual scoring of the winners, while Lefty Behrens and Spiv Ward, with 606 and 605. paced the losers. Behrens was off to a flying start getting a 268 opener. George Kahl provided the Bake A Van* D-X Service with a 611. which led to a double win over the Brenns Five. Ed Stevenson topped the scoring of the losers, getting a

Youth Hopes to Restore Fame of Negro Heavies Detroit Sensation Who Will Battle Camera Takes Advantage of Ring Depression to Gain Fame. BY HARRY GRAYSON NKA Service Sport* Editor. CHICAGO. April 16—Joe Louis, the most talked of fighter in the United States, ‘s a 6-foot-l-inch, 198-pound Negro youth who has not yet begun to shave. He will be 21 on May 13.

Louis meets Primo Camera in New York on either June 19 or July 17. He will not tackle Baer until June, 1936. “I want that much more time to school my boy," explains Jack Blackburn, celebrated old Negro lightweight who trains the new Menace. Louis is a child of loan ring days. He faces the greatest opportunity a Negro heavyweight has had since Jack Johnson, and appreciates it to the fullest extent. His ambition is to win the championship, and in doing so restore the pugilistic popularity of colored heavyweights. Reaches Top in Six Months Louis’ rise has been phenomenal. He zoomed from the lowly preliminary ranks to one of the leading contenders in six months—restoring the breath of life to the business in Chicago and Detroit as he roared along. Louis can thank the boxing depression for the chance given him, however. It was the scarcity of sizable purses that brought opponents like Stanley Poreda, Charley Massera, Lee Ramage. Patsy Perroni, Natie Brown and Roy Lazer into the same inclosure with him. It was against them that he built his reputation. Three years ago they might have sidestepped such a deadly hitting Negro lad. It w ? as on the night of July 4, 1934, that Louis made his bow as a money fighter by knocking out Jack Kracken in 2 minutes at Beacon’s Arena, a small place in the heart of Chicago's Negro belt. For this he received SSO. On Dec. 14. he topped

598. Ollie Krebs led the Voight Mortuary scoring in its two-time victory over the Koch Furniture. Krebs had 632. while Big Bov Runyan paced the losers on a 588.

Paul Taylor Jr., with 606, and Paul Striebeck, with 605 The Indians, Senators and Browns thought it was opening of the baseball season, and bore down on the Giants, Cardinals and Dodgers with triple wins. White Sox. Athletics and Pirates also finished in the win column, taking two each from the Reds. Cubs and Yanks. With Jess Pritchett out of the citv. Charlev McCahill figured it would be a good time to nab the spotlight of the Optimist League so he proceeded to fire a 620 to lead the individual scoring of last night's session. Doc Kernel tried hard to be the hero, but halted at 597. All team series were won via the 2-to-l route. Teams No 1. 5 and 6 winning over Teams No. 4. 3 and 2. The Ladles' Social Lracue was in action at the Hotel Antlers Alleys last night and will resume hostiities on the same drives tonight Last night's session made up postponed series of on earlier date. The feminine pastimers evidently started In where they left off last week, for a pair of 600 totals were posted during the session, Irene Mahoney getting a 617 and Blanche Maas a 613. The former had games of 225, 205 and 187 in amassing her total, while games of 190. 248 and 175 gave Mrs. Maas her big series. Kathryn Meeker with 586. Helen Kritsch. with 563. and Lillian Burnett with 552, were other outstanding scorers. , Every team series waa taken by the • inner through shutout scores, Marott Shoe Cos beating the Happy Wonder Bakers. Bowes Seal Fast outscoring the Greenwald Meats. Falls City Hi-Brus blanking Hotel Antler Five and the Meeker Five pulling the surprise of the evening when it downed the fast LathropMoyer. Inc. in all three games. The Meekers, in winning their games, posted the best team total of the session, a 2711. Games of 90S. 910 and 896 gave them the brilliant series. Bowes closed with 970 to reach 2664. Scoring in the State Highway League at the Pritchett Alievs failed to reaoh the usual high standard, a 546 bv Pennington being the best Individual effort of the evening. Audits picked up a little percentage on the other teams when they won three times over the Girders. Other contests went to the Roads, Culverts and Tests, who bested the Trusses. Arches and Slabs in two games. With no 600 totals in sight, a pair of pastimers of the Transportation were all even for individual honors of the circuit during last night's session at the Pritchett Alleys. Darringer and Collins were knotted with totals of 596. One shut out victory was registered during the evening. Baltimore A- Ohio blanking the- Louisville & Nashville Double wins went to the Southern Pacific. Indianapolis Union and New York Central over the Indiana Railroad. Chesapeake & Ohio and Illinois Central. Norman's 585 was the best individual total of the Service Club League at the Parkway Alievs last night.

I Max Baer saw Joe Louis cut up and knock out Roy Lazer. Jewish heavyweight of Paterson, N. J„ at the Chicago Stadium.

the bill at the Chicago Stadium, when he stopped Ramage in eight rounds, and collected more than S4OOO. Joe since has collected from much larger gates. Comes From Large Family Louis was born Joe Louis Barrow at Montgomery, Ala., and “just growed up" down there. His father, who was a farmer, died when Joe was very young. His mother remarried. and the family moved to Detroit when Joe was 8. Louis is the seventh of eight children. In his recent trip to California to tackle Ramage and Red Barry, he took his young sister, Vunies, with him as a graduation present. At 19. she had just completed her course at Case Technical High School, Detroit. Louis quit trade school in the e’ghth grade to go to work. He has just bought his mother a $25000 home, not far from w'here the family formerly lived on Detroit's east side. “I got it for SIO,OOO cash,” beams the soft-spoken Negro boy, proud of his business acumen. Former Golden Gloves Champ Louis first had gloves laced on his fine pair of hands in a gymnasium in the colored district of Detroit rigged up for street urchins of the district. It was conducted by John Roxborough, 42-year-old political leader of that community. Roxborough watched young Louis win many street battles before he induced him to take up boxing seriously. Louis joined the amateur ranks in the latter part of 1932, and was a Golden Gloves light-heavyweight star for two winters. He acquired the national amateur light-heavyweight leadership a year ago. With that he quit his job in the Ford plant and Roxborough took the youngster to Chicago and placed him in the hands of Julian Black and Blackburn. Roxborough. an insurance man, gave Black, who is 39. a half interest in Louis. Black is a Chicago realtor. Roxborough and Black have plenty of money and the interest of the boy at heart.

April 16 —Whether they will support the present liberal regime or back one of red-bait-ing is up to each of the 106 Hoosier delegates to the Daughters of th* American Revolution convention to decide individually. This stand for Individual decision was announced today by Mrs. Bonnie Farwell, Terre Haute, state regent. She pointed out that while Mrs. Edmund Burke Ball, Muncie. is a candidate for historian general on the Liberal ticket, the state delegation will not vote as a unit in the matter. The voting doesn't take place until Thursday and in the interim the some 4000 delegates from throughout the country are displaying the "fighting spirit" for which they revere their ancestors. “Liberal" candidate for president general is Dr. Flora Myers Gillentinee of Arkansas and Tennessee, who has the backing of Mrs. Russell William Magna, retiring presiI dent general, who banned red-bait-I ing during her incumbncy.
