Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, June 10.—Off hand. I should say the most popular fighter in the business today is Jimmy McLarnin, the 23-year-old Irlsher who was born in Dublin, reared in Vancouver, and turned loose to browse among the beiigerent cauliflowers in California. Certainly he I* aces with the customers around here. They can - throw him In the Garden rln* with Jake the Plumber end pack the place—and don't let anybody tell you it isn’t a trick to pack the Garden or any other leeallzed abattoir these days. I bumped Into the vounsr man and his tr.anazer. old Pop Foster. In a downtown restaurant Tuesday. It was the first time I had had an opportunity to sit down and buzz with them Informally. They make a stranse combination In this day of Ranzcontrolied fighters and zarish fashion plates. McLarnin looks like a choir boy. Old Pop. In appearance, suzztsts a pensioned railroad brakeman. They live timplv. and operate simply. There isn’t much of what Broadway calls class about either of them. They sav the vounz man still burs his suits o3 the rack end that old Pop yells murder when he has to pay more than 11.23 for a shirt. Maybe that's why McLarnin already Is the richest welterwelzht In the history of flzhtlnz. His bank roll isn’t far from the half million mark. The fighter and the old zent have been together a great number ol years. I think he’s a sort of foster father. Asa youth the old gent dabbled around In the fight business himself, as trainer and handler. It was at his suggestion that McLarnin went into the game professionally, although the chances are he would have done so sooner or later. a a a M’LARNIN was born to be a fighter. He comes from a poor family. Numerically it represents thirteen. With so many mouths to feed there was little money left to epend on presents. But one dav. the head of the household came home with a set of boxing gloves and handed them to Jimmy. He promptly threw them over hts shoulder, left the house and went out paging trouble. <T went down to the corner store and met a friend of mine named Andrews. I gave him the other pair of gloves and told him we were going to have a We did. I knocked him out with a punch. I hadn’t dreamed you could do a thing like that with the gloves. I was thrilled at the discovery, so I walked down to the next block and challenged another friend of mine. His name was Wallace. We put on the gloves, and then I made another discovery. It wasn't a very pleasant one. My friend punched my ears off: I Rot my gloves together and ran home. The next day I decided I would probably make a better shortstop than a lighter.'’ McLarnin and old Pop launched their careers in California. It wasn’t so easy at the time. Old Poo tried to get the voung man a foui*-round fight In San Francisco. The promoter took one look at McLarnin and laughed. ’’What are vou trying to and me Jailed? Take that bebv face home and put him back In the buggy." And thus was bom the incongruous ring monicker on which McLarnin was to ride to fame and wealth. Those were lean days for the McLarninFoster combination. They lived together in one room in a cheap rooming house. To help keep expenses down old Pop would go crab fishing in the bay in a patched up row boat and McLarnin would pull the oars. Back on land, old Pop would do the cooking. But all the while he would be telling McLarnin about the wonderful days that were to come "And. mv boy. you’ll lick .them all. every blessed one of them." a tt a OLD POP was a better prophet than he knew. The quiet spoken young man who looks out at you with eyes of childish credulity and whese iron knuckles bulge with murderous power, has gone on to write come of the most spectacular chapters in the modern history of fighting. In the beginning a marvelous boxer with blinding speed, he changed over in recent years to become the hardest hitter, pound for pound, in the game. McLarnin became my favorite fighter the night he climbed out of the resin after being flattened twice in the fourth round by Billy Petrolle. That was one of the most dramatic rounds anybody ever sav; anvwhere. Twice he was down for nine. Never before had he teen down long enough for a single count. In this round he was twice on the threshold of a knockout. He gave a stirring exhibition of courage. A right hand punch In the first round that brought the blood gushing placed him under a severe handicap from which he never recovered. The knockdowns didn’t help any either. Between the eighth and ninth rounds, with the eye wound bleeding worse, referee Patsy Haley wanted to stop the fight. Halev walked over to McLarnin and said: "If you're too bunged up, I'll stop It now.” "Please, don't. Mr. Haley,” begged McLarnin. "Give me a chance.” There was nothing wrong with the McLarnin heart that night. As long as he could stand, he figured he had a chance. And after the fight it developed he had broken his hand in two places.

HARRIS IN ACTION AGAIN, BUT TIGER JINX STICKS
Detroit Pilot Takes Over Second Base Job Earnshaw Pitches and Bats A’s to Victory as Nats Also Triumph; Giants Humble Cubs and Cards Thump Erring Robins. BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 10, —Buck Harris has returned to second base, the post he guarded so well while with the Washington Senators, in an effort to pull his Detroit Tigers out of a disastrous streak. Harris until Tuesday had not played a full game since 1928, w’hen he
left the Senators, whom he had piloted to a world's championship in 1924. When Bucky tock over the managerial reins of the Tigers he announced that his active playing days were over. But injuries to his two youthful Infield stars, Dale Alexander and Charles Gehringer, forced Harris to change his mind. He had been playing shortstops at both first and second base and many Detroit losses were credited to the makeshift infield. So Tuesday, after the Tigers had lost eleven of their previous twelve contests, Harris went back to his old post. But even his presence failed to help, and. the Tigers lost their fourth straight to the Philadelphia Athletics, 12 to 3. A hit by Harris started the Tigers off ahead in the third inning, but the Athletics came back in “heir half of the frame to tie the count, and went on j to win in the seventh and eighth innings when they; scored a total of ten runs.

Four Star Linksmen to Test ‘Bigger and Lighter’ Ball
By United Press PINEWALD, N. J.. June 10.—Amid all the talk about the new golf ball and its comparison with the old smaller and heavier one, •the Royal Pines Golf Club has conceived the idea of testing the two of them in actual competition. According, a match has been arranged between two of the out-
RUTH’S LESSONS—No. 7 RUNNING BASES IS IMPORTANT FACTOR
BY BABE RUTH I RECEIVED a letter recently from the captain of a semi-pro ball team in western Pennsylvania, asking me about touching the bases. He said there had been a lot of discussion among his players. Some insisted a runner should step on the middle of the bag and others argued that only the corner should be touched. The letter gave me an idea for this article. Do not confuse base running with base stealing. I want to give some advice on things to be done or avoided as a player is going around the bases. x I would say that the base runner never should stop on the* middle of the bag when he is rounding it. It is all right to step on first base that way as he races down to beat a throw and can keep on running in a straight line beyond the bag without being put out.
But if he has to swing around first base for second, or swing around second for third, or third for home, he never should step on the middle, or top of the bag. Touching the base in the center as you swing around might snap your ankle. a an TOUCH the base on the inside corner, as you swing around it. This gives you a brace and also a push as you keep in motion toward the next base. Touch the base naturally, with either foot, as you swing around, and avoid making a half step at the turn as it will throw you off your stride. Here are some cautions: 1. Touch every base. You are not entitled to the next one until you have touched the one ahead. 2. —Touch them in reverse order if you have to go back, except for a foul. 3. Keep your head up for the fellov; of you and thereby avoid a lot of trouble. 4. Remember one mistake on the bases often stops a rally that might win the game. 5. Always obey your coach, regardless of your own ideas. * a a IN running from the plate to first on a ball hit to the outfield it is aim-ays advisable to swing away from the base line before making your turn. This prevents a runner from having to go so far out in swinging around from first to second. and the distance thus saved may be the difference between safe and out. The runner must be his own judge on continuing to second base if the play is in front of him and he can see the ball. If the hit is out on the left field side or
Tribe Secretary Tries for Purchase of Toledo Club
WILLIAM E. CLAUER, veteran secretary of the Indians, acting as agent for parties in another city, made an effort to obtain an option on the Toledo Hens when he heard the Maumej franchise was on the market, but in a statement made today, Clauer said his offer was turned down, at least temporarily Aocbrding to Clauer, the To-
against Bridges and Hoyt. Washington kept pace with the league leaders by troucing the Chicago White Sox, 9 to 3. Alvin Crowder allowed fourteen hits in registering his fourth consecutive victory, but was effective in the pinches. The Senators combined their ten hits off Pat Caraway with eight bases on balls to pile up a. big lead. i No other American League contests were played, the scheduled games between Cleveland and New York and St. Louis and Boston being postponed because of rain. The St. Louis Cardinals retained their four anti one-half *ame lead in the National League by defeating Brooklyn, . 8 to S. to take the four-game series, three contests to one. The Cardinals collected eighteen hits off six Robin hu*lers and were aided by four Brooklyn errors. New York gained sole possession of second place by turning back Chicago. 10 to 2. The defeat dropped the Cubs to third place Morrell, a rookie, held the Bruins to eight hits and was accorded good support as his mates pounded Sweetland, Baecht and Teachout for eighteen hits.

he has lost track of the ball then the coach can keep him moving. After reaching second the runner is always under the direction of the third base coach on outfield drives. He should stop or keep moving, as the coach orders, and pay no attention to the ball. a a a WHEN a runner is scoring from third on an outfield play he should touch his foot on the comer of the bag nearest home and keep an eye on the ball. As soon as it touches the outfielder’s glove he makes his dash. A runner loses no time in watching the ball on such a play as he moves with the catch and turns his head as he starts. Base running has been -called the simplest part of baseball, and in a way it is. Even the slowest footed players run the bases and score their share of runs. At the same time it seems so easy that players get careless at times. 18 PILOTS ENTER Five Events on Speed Card at Walnut Gardens Sunday. Eighteen entries have been received for the speed program at Walnut Gardens Sunday. Among the recent entries are Bill Chittum of Columbus, 0., and Lawrence Beckett.

ledo president, Oscar J. Smith and his associates, agreed to sell at a certain price, but were rot interested in granting an option at this time. Opinion has been expressed in Toledo baseball circles that Smith is keen to sell and merely is waiting for more offers. There is a cfcpmce, of course, that negotiations between Clauer and Smith will reopened.

Easy Sailing for Anderson and Cox in Tuesday Bouts
Four knockouts were reeled off in the six bouts at Ft. Benjamin Harrison Tuesday night, and the fistic fans who crave haymakers, received a large portion on the evening’s menu of glove throwing. Visiting pugs in the two ten-round scraps failed to live up to advance notices and were little more than punching bags. Tracy Cox, local featherweight, disposed of Henry Falegano in the fourth round, and Harold Anderson, the local new light-heavy, flattened Jack Elkhart in the fifth stanza. Both Falegano and Elkhart absorbed a ton of punishment and were on the floor frequently as the result of stopping an assortment of stiff punches. It was ea-sy sailing for Tracy and Harold, for their opponents seldom launched an attack. Fact of the matter in each bout it was a case of one man doing the pitching and the other the catching.

Great Gun Dark Horse Three-Year-Old May Force Co-Favorites in Belmont. By Times Special NEW YORK, June 10.—Although the wise boys are predicting a twohorse race, the field for the historic Belmont Stakes at the Belmont oval here Saturday, will be far from ordinary. Sun Meadow, Great Gun and Clock Tower are expected to go to the barrier with the favorites. Twenty Grand and Jamestown, and may spring a few surprises. Great Gun is the most improved 3-year-cld in the east, and may cause some trouble for the betterknown stars. His sire, American Flag, won the Belmont in 1925, and his grandsire, Man o’ War, won it in 1920. Sun Meadow also has shown to advantage in recent trials, while Owner Schwartz is predicting big things for his Clock Tower. Surf Board and Anchors Aweigh, Twenty Grand’s stafclemates, still are in the field, but showed so poorly in the Withers behind Jamestown that neither is given much consideration. With more than $30,000 and the 3-year old championship at stake, Jamestown and Twenty Grand are expected to stage one of the greatest turf duels in recent years when they meet for the first time in the Belmont. At present they are even in favoritism, but Twenty Grand is expected to hold a slight edge when they leave the post. STAGGS KEEP POST By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., June 10.—A. R.

George Denny Holds One-Stroke Edge Over Lance in District

George had three-putted a couple of greens and missed a short one on another. He was convinced thoroughly he should have had 63 to that point instead of 63. But when he ran down a long green shot of twenty feet or more to score a birdie 4 on the eighteenth hole, he lost a bit of the dislike for his putter. When he learned his 73 for the round placed him out in

of Speedway, fired his second 78 in two days at the Hills Tuesday to hang up a 15S total. Bill Diddel had 157. Bill Heinlein, youthful star who was expected to give the leaders a race for this year’s title, was a washout at the Hills Tuesday afternoon. Lance, Sammy Simpson and Bill Diddel, the trio that played in the open trials Monday, were permitted to play their Monday round in the district meet at Highland Tuesday morning. Heinlein was permitted to play along with Cliff Wagoner, the district secretary, who scored them. Lance took a 79, putting badly, and Heinlein took a 77 to be within two strokes of the Monday leader, Bob Bowen, wno fired 75.

There will be night baseball Thursday and Friday and on Saturday the teams will return to daylight entertainment again. Frank Sigafoos, new Tribe infieider purchased from Cincinnati, is ready to break into the Corriden lineup at any time now. He bears the reputation of being a consistent hitter in class AA ball. With the Millers now is an old American Association favorite, pitcher Tom Sheehan, whom Mike Kelley took over from the Kansas City Blues. Tcm once was the mound ace of the league. When vith St. Paul he won twenty-six games in 1922, thirty-one games in 1923, and with Kansas City in 1927 turned in twenty-six victories Tom is a war vet.
