CUBS THERE, RACES, BIG FIGHT

WITH the Cubs at home, the horses running at Washington Park and the Braddock-Louis fight coming up, Chicago is a gay and lively town nowadays, Barney Ross says. ... ‘Sports goers from all over the country are arriving and are spending their money freely. It’s certainly . a break for the merchants and others who have anything to sell. Chicago itself is not greatly excited over the -title battle and is keeping cool and giving the glad hand “to the pleasure seeking visitors. Sudden prosperity is felt on all sides and the bulk of the sports trade is yet to come. The gold rush will be on this coming week-end and many old friendships will be renewed as the old-time fighters and veteran ring followers check in and join the fanning bees.” i 8 x # 2 a .8 ONSTRUCTION of 33,000 seats on the playing field at Comiskey Park is under way for the heavyweight titular clash. . . .

ROSS AND WOODS SET FOR FIGHT TONIGHT

Welterweight King Reported

Tracy Cox-Frankie Hughes | Battle Rated Second on Evening’s Card.

Boxing comes back to Indianapolis with a bang tonight when the Ancient Order of Hibernians present a pretentious four-bout fistic program at Perry Stadium. Each scrap is scheduled to go 10 rounds, with at least one principal in each engagement boasting a championship ranging from the world’s welterweight title to a Golden Gloves amateur diadem. Barney Ross, Chicago's king of the welterweights, is to tangle with Chuck Woods, the Detroit veteran who is rated near the. top in the division, in the spotlight attraction. Both the champ and Woods have been’ training dilligently for the contest. An upset victory by the Detroiter would boost him into a contending position once again. Rated second in importance on the card is a ten-rounder involving Tracy Cox, a local favorite because of his lethal punching ability, and 1ndiana’s present welterweight titleholder, Frankie Hughes of Clinton. Hughes also is recognized as one of the hardest punchers in the division.

Heavies Will Meet

Heavyweights are to take over the ring when Big Elza Thompson, Indianapolis Golden Gloves champion, makes his first professional appearance against rugged Salvatore Ruggirello of New York. It is to be the first time for the local Negro scrapper to go ten rounds in actual competition, though he often goes that distance in gym workouts. Opening the. program at 8:15, Paul (Tennessee) Lee, speedy Indiana featherweight champion, is to test Louisville's favorite in that class, hard-hitting Jimmy Buckler. The Cox-Hughes encounter is to follow the opening bout. = Unless these two bouts terminate in early knockouts, the feature Ross-Woods battle is to go on next, with the heavyweights winding up the program. If the first two bouts end abruptly, however, the Ross-Woods scrap will be held last for the benefit of late comers, according to James F. Cunningham, chairman of the committee in charge.

Referee to Be Picked

A referee for the main go is to be appointed at the ringside by Commissioner Sam Murbarger. Managers of the contestants have failed to agree on a choice for the job. Officials appointed yesterday include Judges James Doss, Ted Sullivan and Dr. J. William Wright, and Timekeepers Chris Hankemeier and James Veach. : The boxers were to weigh in at the Washington A. C. this afternoon at 3.
