JIM McL ARNIN REGAINS TITLE Beats Barney Ross To Regain Welterweight Championship New York, Sept. 18. — (U.R> — Dynamite Jim McLarnin, moat colorful mauler the welterweight dt. vision ever knew, can retire now with his recaptured world champ-i ionship. Close friends of the champ believe he will do Just that shortly. Jimmy's dreams of marriage, a trip to his native Ireland, and retirement while still wearing the crown were given a chance to come true last night at Madison Square Carden's Long Island bowl when he was assisted back to the throne by a kindly referee, Arthur Donovan. According to 22 of 29 boxing writers polled at the ringside, the west coast Celt failed to regain the 147-pound title from Harney Hoss. I brilliant Jewish boxer from Chi-1 cago who wrested it from Jimmy i last May. However, three Irishmen presid-; ed as officials at this oft postponed second version of the Celtic-He-brew feud, and Shamus McLarnin. the Dublin devastator, emerged from 15 rounds of savage brawling a badly beaten veteran but a brand new champion—the eighth man in pugilistic history to regain the welter diadem after losing it. Donovan awarded the decision after the two Judges had disagreed. Judge Charlie Lynch saw the bout as m st of the writers did and gave

It to Ross, but the other Judge, Tom Sbortill, balloted for McLarn. In. The United Press score sheet credited Ross with 10 rounds. Me- , Larnin with four, and one even. The decision was greeted with j mixed cheers and Jeers from the crowd of less than 27.000. It was a tight with rapid tire action from gong to gong—plenty of science from two master boxers and plenty of water-front slugging. Both were badly battered. Jimmy was a sorry looking i champion. His left eye was comI pletely closed, a huge bump stood 1 out on his forehead, and he was bleeding from a gash on his left brow, from his nose and mouth, in the closing sessions, his legs lost their spring and he wobbled at times. A smashing right to the chin drove him almost to his knees in the 15th round. Barney also was gashed above his right eye and bled from nose and mouth. But he was much fresher at the gong than the veteran who took his 147. pound title and left him with only his lightweight crown. oSTANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE W. L Pct.
