Goldstein and Singer were from New York’s East Side, and each in turn was ballyhooed as a “second Benny Leonard." It was a habit of those fistic fans of the East Side to compare their up-and-coming young ringinen with the great Leonard, and the ease with which McLarnin polished them off aroused a burning desire in the hearts of the Ghetto fans to see Jimmy humbleu oy one of their own. So when Benny returned to the fistic wars he was drafted for the task. And Benny is facing a tough assignment- The Leonard of today is not the Old Master of fifteen years ago. Father Time has gotten in some heavy punches. Leonard still retains the cleverness which carried him to the fistic height* fifteen

yearn ago, but despite his record of seventeen or more straight victories in the past year, he is much slower afoot. In McLarnin he is facing one of the greatest ringmen of the day. McLarnin, too, is a master boxer and in addition he packs a lethal wallop in eithe- hand. VVh-it will happen if he should crash through the supurb Leonard defense? Can Leopard take the kind of punches that Jimmy will hand out? There is no way of telling, for nbne of the men Benny has fought in his remarkable comeback were deadly hitters. And few of them were smart enough to reach Leonard’s jaw. This bout is a puzzler for the advance pickers. If McLarnin can hit Leonard he should win. possibly by a knockout. But can he hit the Old Master? We’ll have the answer Saturday. Owrrutx IMS. Bins rnm InWMn In

Early in the season he suffered an injury to his foot and as a result hi« batting average fell below .300 for the first time in his ma .or league career but in that dash for the pennant the fleet-footed “Kiki” made a habit of producing the big clean-up wallop just when the Bruins needed it most. In the last six weeks of the race he regained his batting stride and walloped the pill for a mark well over .300.
