The old fellow folded his Indian blanket and packed it away for the last time, ready to accept as final the 10-round beating Barney Ross, of Chicago, lightweight champion, gave him in the Bronx Coliseum Wed- nesday night. “I'm going to send this to the laundry now,” he said, which was ab- solute proof that he never intends to fight again. A dozen years ago, back in Fargo, N. D., and, Petrolle started a ring career that never quite carried him to championship heights but. did bring him into conflict with the greatest lightweights of this decade, as well as into possession of a lot of currency which he still has, in con- trast to most ex-prize-fighters. He got his blanket from some In- jdian chief almost at the start of his campaign. He never would enter a ring without it. And he never would have it washed for fear the soap would take out all the luck, as well as the weird colors. Now he admits that his need for the blanket is gone. ‘Tell Them P'm Through’ “Tell them I'm through, he said as he shuffled down the ring steps in the big barn in the Bronx Wednesday night, thoroughly beaten by the bril- lant little Ross. “I can’t fight any) more, so I'm not going to try.” Once before, several years ago, Pe- trolle retired because he thought his career was over. He rested a year or so and came back, to rise to heights he had never reached before. He land three times he tackled Jimmy {McLarnin. He belted Jimmy in scan- dalous fashion in their first match,; but lost the next two. This retirement, however, is dif- ferent. Petrolle 1s 29 in years, but much, much older as far as the ring is concerned. Against eager. dazzling Ross, he was really an old man, lost in the bril- {Hance of a youngster who ranks with the best his division ever has pro- duced, a floundering veteran with the zip gone from his punches and jthe speed departed from his legs. He had only his inexhaustible cour- age, and that was far from enough against the master boxer, a sharp, thudding hitter with either hand. In; only one round, the ninth, when Bar- ney obviously was coasting, was Pe- trolle able to work his way labor- iously to close quarters and gain the upper hand. Barney beat him once before in Chicago. Every other round, and the unani- mous decjsion of the judges, the ref- eree and the 12,043 of the faithful who journeyed far into the fastness of the Bronx for the battle, went to Never Near Knockout Ross shook the veteran badly at times, but never could floor him or bring him close to the knockout stage. His jars, though, raised two large welts under Bill's eyes. The fact that Uncle Will was in the last mile was correctly guessed by the betters, who made Barney a 3-to-1 favorite, des- pite Petrolle’s weight advantage. Billy weighed 14112, Ross 136%.
