Welter King Saved Show, Is His Belief
Boxers of All Time; Other Bouts Dull.
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer ’ NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—The carnival is over and so is at least one of the champions who participated in it. Sixto Escobar had added a new and not altogether desirable prefix to his name. Today he was merely Mr. X. A long, gangling, jumpy kid from Baltimore by the name of Harry Jeffra had put him on the spot and taken his bantamweight championship away from him. ; Factually, this was the most notable feature of the pugilistic riot that presented three world champions and a European champion in defense of their titles last night at the Polo Grounds. Marcel Thil of
pionship were not officially recognized. Thus his conqueror, Fred
another able-bodied young man—
Other developments and impressions of the night were: That Barney Ross of Chicago is still good enough to handle any welterweight in the business as one
guish, both physical and mental, if
Ambers Agony Fighter That Lou Ambers of Herkimer, N. Y., is an agony fighter but his style is so peculiar he is very hard to beat, a discovery made somewhat bitterly by one Pedro Montanez in a test for the lightweight championship that put thousands to sleep— That while the idea of bringing a flock of champions together on the same night deserves applause on the score of originality and promotional daring the entertainment values resulting therefrom are nothing to put in your book of thrilling memories— That the carnival of champions might have been just another routine fight card—and was in effect —with some of the young men, wearing crowns or aspiring to wear them, looking very much like preliminary boys and semiwindup boys— That the carnival was scarcely any better or any worse from the standpoint of sustained gory excitement than the average fight program which is presented in the average manner with one main attraction topping the list— » A Theory Is Exploded That the theory that simply because some guy has mauled his way into a championship he must perforce be one whale of a fighter, and as natural consequence, will put up one whale of a fight is, to put it in the Elizabethan manner, quite stupid— So much for the thats. The only thing that kept the carnival from being a dismal flop was the savage hattle between Ross and Garcia. This was distinctly the high light of the night. It saved the show, in fact. Ross says Jimmy McLarnin gave him a harder fight—but that was when Ross was younger. Ross is now crowding 30 and I suspect he has seen his best days. Considering the difference in ages and all that goes with it, Garcia gave him the hardest fight he ever had. It was certainly the hardest fight I have ever seen him in. Garcia had everything with which to beat Ross. He was younger, and more powerful. Ross won because he is a great fighter—one of the greatest welterweights of this generation. He won because he has poise and, well—if he was doing any thinking in the ring last night it must have been with the soles of his shoes. If Garcia had been a fourth the ring general Ross is he would have knocked the welterweight champion out. But he wasn’t. And that’s why he lost. Ross gave a stirring exhibition of footwork, punch-slipping, and, at the proper intervals, punching—and this despite the fact he hurt one of his hands very early in the fight. There were times when it seemed the heavy-hitting Garcia would blow Ross right out of the ring with the fury of his two-handed attack. These were the dramatic moments of the fight. Ross would weather these fierce flurries and with pain written all over his face and blood dripping from his lips, rush back and take the play completely away from a fellow who would probably beat him 10 times out of 10 in an alley fight.
A tense moment in the Ross-Garci a battle, Barney is on the left.

Week-End Prospects Look Bright, Wardens Report

advantage of the improved conditions during the last few days this siuation is not expected to hold for the week-end. Many good catches have been reported.

they are defending titleholders, ale
though the dates have not yet been set. Coach Hayes, speaking on the season’s prospects, said: “I can’t tell how the team will shape up until after our first time trials next month.
