Mandell-McLarnin Encounter for Title Postponed Until Friday Night
Cold Weather and Threats of Rain Force - *1) Decision. ODDS DWINDLE DOWN Many Favor Challenger’s Hitting Ability. BULLETIN Fj/ United Press NEW YORK, May 17.—Because of cold weather and thr a.s of rain, the Jimmy McLarnin-Sam-my Mandell fight for the lightweight championship, has been postponed until Friday night. The fight was to have been held® tonight in the Polo grounds. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 17.—A pair of small fists on Friday night may hoist blue-eyed Jimmy McLarnin onto the lightweight boxing throne. These fists, loaded with dynamite, are cocked and ready to explode in the face of Sammy Mandell, who . defends his 135-pound crown against the Pacific coast challenger in a scheduled fifteen-round bout at the Polo Grounds. The bcut was postponed to Friday night this afternoon. Trained carefully, Mandell vows McLarnin will not knock him out as he did Sid Terris, Jackie Fields, Joey Sangor and Louis (Kid) Kaplan. Mandell is fast and hard to hit.
Not since Benny Leonard defended his title against Lew Tendler I July 23, 1924, has as much interest been aroused in a lightweight championship match. Tex Rickard has constructed 77,000 seats for this bout, and indications point to more than 50,000 of them being occupied. The gate receipts are expected to exceed $250,000. The betting odds have dwindled from 8 to 5 on Mandell to even money, with considerable McLarnin mortey going “begging.” A popular bet among McLamin’s supporters is 1 to 5 that Jimmy wins by a knockout. Mandell won the title from Rocky Kansas at Chicago, July 3, 1926. In the two years he has held the title, Mandell has defended his laurels only once, against Phil McGraw, the Detroit Greek, last year. If McLarnin wins, he will be the first Irish lightweight champion > since Jack McAuliffe, retired unde- : seated king of the 135-pound diviSion, March 13, 1893. After watching McLarnin in his i

Atherton Two of the heaviest hitters on the Indianapolis Big Four Railroad baseball team, which will oppose the Bellefontaine t (Ohio) team here Saturday, are Manager Atherton and Hilton. The Bellelontaine team last year won the
final workout, McAuliffe stuck oui his gnarled hand, and squeezing the little mitt of McLarnin’s, said: “Kid, that fist will bring you the championship. Don't worry. Just go in there and fight him and don’t be over-anxious.” Eddie Kane, Mandell’s manager, told newspaper men at Mandell s training camp at Orangeburg, N. Y., Wednesday, that they were in for one of the biggest surprises of their lives. “If you think McLarnin can stop Sammy,” Kane said, “you are due for a shock. Mandell is too clever and fast and before the bout is over he’ll cut McLarnin to pieces.” BREAKS SWIM RECORDS Fourteen-Year-Old New England Girl Sets Six Marks.
