Phil McGraw Knocked Out by McLarnin Jimmy Stops Detroit Greek in First Round at New York. Bn United Press NEW YORK, June 22.—Jimmy McLarnin, the reticent Irish lad from Vancouver, B. C., who couldn’t land a solid punch on Sammy Mandell in a fifteen-round title bout in mid-May, today was restored to the position of the leading challenger for the lightweight championship. McLarnin Thursday night came back to knock out Phil McGraw, tough Detroit Greek, in two minutes and forty-five seconds' of the first round of their scheduled ten-round bout in Madison Square Garden before 12,000 spectators. Just One Punch! Cautious and confident, the babyfaced Irishman stood flat-footed in the center of the ring and waited for McGraw to come to himMcGraw rushed in and McLarnin let his dynamite-layden right fly full force and it clipped McGraw on the chin, knocking him half through the ropes. McGraw clutched wildy for the ropes, and with the assistance of the timekeeper pulled himself back into the ring. There was no count as the knockdown timekeeper had to push McGraw back into the ring to keep him from falling out. Out on Feet! Back in the ring, groggy and glassy-eyed, McGraw feebly attempted to fight off the deceptive Vancouver boy, but he had been knocked silly by that first terrific right on the jaw. Three times McGraw went down. The counts were short. Then after the fourth knockdown, Referee Jack Dorman stopped the bout. It was the first time in six years of fighting and nearly 100 bouts McGraw had been knocked out.
