Assocsatea Prese Sports Editor. EW YORK, December 14.—The baby-faced kid still is the killer of the ring. Irish Jimmy McLarnin, the cherubic _ welterweight, ~ who looked as though he didn’t have a sav- age thought in his head, crushed the jewel of New York's Ghetto, Ruby Gold- stein, last night.in less than four min- utes. After a short but sensational and highly dramatic battle, McLarnin stretched the handsome Jewish boy on the canvas for the full count of 10 with only 52 seconds of the second round clapsed. . There had been some talk beforehand that Ruby would not or could not “take it,” but the pride of the East Side gave a magnificent exhibition of courage and gameness before he was battered to a limp hulk by the terrific punching of one of the hardest hitters of modern ring history for his size, It was the end of ancther broken trail for Goldstein, but Ruby won the admiration, the roars of a capacity crowd of close to 20,000, even though he was hopelessly out- classed by a greater fighter. Goldstein was floored twice by Mc- Larnin's slashing attack before he took the final count. Only the bell saved the Jewish youth from a knockout in the first round. When he gamely crawled to his feet after a count of nine and reeled along the ropes, trying to chlimck the storm of blows that blinded im Goldstein Game to End. len and his soft, deep’set eyes, blood- shot, stumbled to his corner. He came out warily in the second round, stab- bing somewhat futilely now, for there seemed not much chance for him against the chunky, determined Irish- man. With the grace of a cat and the swift=striking power of a panther, McLarnin lashed his right to*the jaw. Goldstein toppled over the lower strand Ruby, his pale, ascetic features swol- | Cherubic McLarnin Punches Goldstein to Sleep Quickly of the rope. His body was outside on the edge of the ring, his legs draped over the ropes. Somehow, at the count of 9, the Jew- ish boy hauled himself back into the ring and to his feet. He wabbled back, jabbing McLarnin. The baby-faced Jne cooly forced his prey to the center of the ring, drove his left, then the right to the head and Ruby toppled over backward. Goldstein took the final count of 10 prone on his back and had to be carried to his corner by Referee Lou Magnolia. Goldstein, & hero in spite of his checkered career, received an ovation before the match that Jwyarfed the noisy reception for the popular Irish- man and rivaled the outburst for Jack Dempsey last Monday night. The crowd roared tribute to Ruby's game- ness, but was on its feet at the finish yelling for the “kill” by the baby-faced one. Sentiment yielded to the power of punch. McLarnin Hard Puncher. Seldom has McLarnin looked more effective as a boxer or puncher. Jimmy was pitted against one of the fastest, cleverest ringmen New York has pro- duced since the days of Benny Leonard, with the added threat of a stiff punch, but the Irish lad did a thorough, work- manlike job from start to finish. He outsmarted and outfought Ruby. He took Goldstein's hardest wallops without yielding an inch. There was a quick flash of that doomed feeling in Ruby’s face in the middle of the first round when he shot his right three times to McLarnin's chin without ‘re- sult. Jimmy not only proved he could take anything the Ghetto's hero had | to offer, but countered with weapons of explosive variety. McLarnin's victory established him | beyond doubt as the outstanding con- tender for the welter title, now held by Jackie Fields. The ballyhoo for this title/ scrap can now go on with the customers’ approval. . Shires Wants $25,000 To Perform for Sox CHICAGO, December 14 (#).— Charles Arthur (the Great) Shires wants $25,000 to play first base for the White Sox next Summer—or else—= Shires, whose contract last year called for $8,500, demands the big increase, or, he declares, the Ameri- can League will lose its greatest first baseman. “When I beat a few more of these alleged fighters I will be ready to talk terms with Mr. Comiskey,” he said. “I want $25,000 to play that first sack for the White Sox, and if T don’t get it, I will keep on fight- ing. My contract last year called for $8,500, but by the time I got through paying fines, and salary was deducted for suspensions, I didn't have more than $5,000 left. And I've got to get it back.” EOXER LACKS DRIVE; REFEREE STOPS BOUT By the Assoclated Press. BOSTON, December 14—A mno-con- test verdict ended the non-title bout between Jackie Fields of Los Angeles, world welterweight champion, and “Gorilla” Jones of Akron, Ohio, in the seventh round last night. The referee, Joe O'Connor, stopped the fray, de- claring that Jones was not giving his usual exhibition. Fields burst into tears. ‘The State Boxing Commission ordered Eddie Mack, promoter, to pay both purses. Fields made a furious start, belting the Negro's head and body with stiff lefts during the early rounds. Jones made the best showing in the third by landing several short but hard rights. Fields' left hooks appeared to be slow- ing Jones down in the final rounds. From the opening of the fight the contestants were continually jeered from the gallery, with organized demonstations directed particularly at Jones. A crowd of 18,000 saw the match. O'Connor’s verdict was not approved by Eugene Buckley, member of the State Boxing Commission, at the ring- side. He said Jones' lack of aggressive- ness made the match dull, but he thought the battlers tried to give an honest fight. two men could be. ing less than 190 pounds. speed, smash, crush and action. Tunney was practically the last word in self-development, with few outstand- ing physical qualities to start with. Tunney lacked the speed, quickness and physical ability of Jim Corbett and other good boxers. He developed the speed that he had. But his main ac- complishment, outside of perfect con- dition, was the slow and gradual im- provement of his punching acouracy. He had_at least four or five brands of punching to work with and, while he was not in any way phenomenal with any brand, he was, at least, effective. .y and Tunney worked out r pugilistic destinies effectively with what nature gave them. Of the two, Dempsey was naturally more interesting to watch, because offense is nearly always more interesting than defense. Dempsey's reign lastéd for .seven years, and it was the most spectacular seven years from all heavyweight history. It was nearly all action and drama, tumult and excitement. It isn't likely that another Dempsey will come along for the next half century. For that matter, it will be a long time before another heavyweight starts with Tunney's origi- nal limited physical equipment and builds himself into a champion.

Another mark, that of an average of 19.73 for 375 points made in three games, also is claimed for this sensa- tional cueist, who defeated Spencer Liv- sey of Los Angeles by 125 to a minus 2 in four innings last night. Rudolph made an unfinished high run of 111, breaking the mark of 101 made by Ralph Greenleaf against Je- rome Keogh in 1924. He also broke the best game mark of five innings, which was held jointly by four other players. He equaled the five-inning mark against Joseph J. McCann in his second game. Rudolph also claims the record for speed, running out the 125 points in 37 minutes. Another remarkable feat which was pointed out by Referee Ferguson was n}:etrm that Rudolph did not miss a shot. He ran 15 in his first inning, then played safe. He played safe in his sec- ond try and in his third he made a deliberate scratch, which was a forfeit, when he shot into the cushion, and away from the balls. Livsey followed with a safety, then Rudolph pocketed a ball which escaped the bunch and from that time on he was master. . Rudolph is in undisputed possession of first place with three victories and no defeats. Standing of the players: \ Won. Lost. : 0 E. Rudolph. M. Camp. F." Taberski. P. Natalie. Green] Lauri. .

ENE TUNNEY and Jack dempsey happened to hit New York about the same time. They have been two of the most re- markable products of the ring, although about as opposite as They are far more interesting than such giants as Jeffries, Jack Johnson and Jess Willard, where bulk and strength played such star roles in the championship dramas of their reigns. Dempsey weighed 183 pounds when he whipped Willard. Tunney weighed 186 when he beat Dempsey at Philadelphia. So the heavy- weight area for 10 years has been under the control of fighters weigh- Dempsey was practically the last word in flaming ring spirit— name. He gets worked up into an emotional frenzy, giving little credit to lack of partisanship on the part of some foot ball writer who doesn’t give a rap if either team is beaten 100 to 0. Most of them are fair to this extent— alfl ‘:hcy want is 100 per cent the best of it. In the course of a season team after team is beaten that might easily have won with an equal split in the luck of the day. To suggest anything of the sort is to be placed as badly biased and unfair.

The grip, the arms and the pivot are the three fundamentals of the golf swing. Instructors are more and more concerning themselves with the hands. “Hit with them,” they say.

Covey of England as world court tennis champion last year. “He is to be married soon and he is too occupied with his business affairs to give his time seriously to tennis any more.” JOLLIFFE HIGH MAN IN REVENUE LEAGUE Jim Jolliffe, who leads the Federal League with an average of 118, has only 110 with Miscellaneous in the Internal Revenue League, but he is high ma His team is in first place with a slends margin.

BY R. D. THOMAS. T'LL be like old times at the Big King Pin tonight, when two of the strongest duckpin teams ever assembled fight it out in the final five-game set of a home-and-home series. On one side, with a 7-pin lead, will be the King Pins, leaders of the District League, who three years ago hung up a national record for a league set with 1,877, and opposing them will be the team that recently beat this mark, the Bowling Center Five of Baltimore. National Duckpin Bowling Congress recently put its okay on the Bal- The It has been long since the King Pin drew a big match. Color was taken from the once extremely popular establishment when most of its regular attractions were shifted to the other large Meyer Davis bowling plant, the Lucky Strike, which the King Pins now call home. George Lang, who used to com- mute from Baltimore to shoot with the King Pins, will captain their foemen tonight. With him will be Wesley Askew, E. Pickrus, R. Dry- den, G. Scible, and perhaps a sub- stitute. That was the line-up which November 12 gathered 1,881 maples in a Greater Baltimore Major League match. The King Pins will use their regular District League line-up of Jack Wolsten- holme, Bernie Frye, Ray Ward, Clem Weidman and Howard Campbell. Some day a 1,900 set and a 700 game will be rolled, scores undreamed of until recent years, when everything connect- ed with the duckpin sport improved. The Bowling Center, in establishing its record, had opportunities to turn out both. "Lang's crew scored 664 in the first game when a little stronger pace by two of the sharpshooters would have put the team over the big hurdle. One of them came back with a 169-game and again the opportunity was present- ed, but one man couldn't meet the situation -and a team score of 662 re- sulted. This left the Bowling Center with a count of only 574, about their usual speed, to get a 1,900 total. whole team dropped into mediocrity and disappointed with & game of 555, which they lost to the Recreations, sm’l’;::s C:nbers made 417 ;puru and 13 , an _average of four game per individual. T K Another interesting battle is on ta for tonight. The ecrack Norf.hel.s': Temple team will visit the Boulevard alley in Bethesda to engage an all-star line-up of Bethesdans selected by Bert Play will start at 8 o'clock. Few of the leading favorites through with colors flglng in the ocp'en’lnE ing set of the southpaw sweepstakes, at the Northeast Temple. Lefty Fitz-~ gerald of Mount Rainier, was the only participant 10 beat 600 and will enter the second block, at the Coliseum next week, with a substantial lead. His score was 606. Abbie Clark was second with 582 and Pete McCambridge third m{c‘g s;l:.cuegrge Tew was one pin be- (cCam| and Lef pulled up fifth vglkt:l 575. o Al' Work, one of the best southpaws of all time, couldn’t get up a gallop and his 502 score was probably the worst he ever registered in major competition. Lefty Goodall, who usually is among the leaders in tournament play, was well down the list of 44 with a set of 534. follow: 4 84 93 2 u3 m 83 SCE 358 Morrison Madden . Henig . Stocking .

Under ordinary con- ditions he is a formidable performer and is easily capable of doing even bet- ter than last night. There is some consolation for those who finished in the ruck and are deem- ed to have little chance for a slice of the coin. Soon after the southpaw stakes is finished The Washington Star individual tournament will offer them opportunity to recoup. Most of the southpaws have entered or expect to.
