For fiftcen rounds under glaring lights above a ring pitched in the {heart of the polo grounds the Ol haired sheik from Rockford, Illinois, | slached and ‘tore last night at the body and chin of the McLarnin kid. Lefts that shot out with the sting and drive of a whip-lash cut about Jimmy's face. Short right chops closed his Jeft eye, lefts emothered the other eye, and punches from every direction brought a stream of blood from his nose. But there was one point Mandell, the master, could not touch. No mat- ter how thut dazzling ring general poured his batteries into Jimmy's head, crashed his hands to the body, and ripped the Irishman’s head back | ‘“llh uppercuts, he never could reach Jimmy's heart. Decision is Approved There was not a dissenting voice in the crowd of less than 25,000 that gathered in the ball park for the most important lightweight battle in the past five years when the an- nouncer declared that Mandell still was champion after 15 rounds of furious battling. But neither was there a epectator who did not stand tand cheer the lion hearted effort of |the slugging Celt to lift that crown when McLarnin, a fistic sensation after he knocked out Sid Ferris in | punch, dragged his tired, battered body from the ring. For every one of 15 rounds, McLarnin, hoping always to land the smash that stowed away the glost of the ghetto, piled into the champion—and into a storm of punches that battered his features jalmost beyond recognition. It was the attack of a youngster who didn’t know what fear meant, a kid with a fighting heart that couldn't he slaekened, the attack of a bull pup into the jaws of a fleet, slashing ter- rier. ew —(®—The | boasts the ! A Glorious Effort Jimmy’s effort, a glorious thing to wateh, won him the plaudits of the crowd and even the wholehearted recognition of the champion himself, But it gained him only three of the 15 rounds and carried him on even terms with the titleholder in three others, Mandell won nine rounds by wide land convincing margins, but Me- Larnin, never giving up the ship al- though blind on one side and rapidly losing sight on the other, made his | {most gallant sortics in the last two, rounds.

There were times when it scem- ed that Jimmy must go down, t the sturdy clallenger's must bend | under the fusillade of gloves that fairly smothered him. Then it wus that McLarnin called for extr strength, extra courage to bo through those cutting punches to | tear at the body of the titleholder, | Always Was Game The lion heart of the Irishman al- ways responded. After losing the first four roun t times appearing s0 crude that Mandell held his fore- head with one hand and pasted him | with the other, McLarnin came back | to take the fifth and even the sixth on shecr aggreséiveness and courage.

The Lutherans started off with a ing safe on an crror and scoring when Holst hit for two bases after two men had been retired. A. Fo- berg and Berglund followed with hits and the total damage was three runs.

After adding another run in tho second the Lutherans hammered out eix in the third and then eased off, while the Baptist defense tightened. The fielding of “Rip” May for the losers was remarkable and saved the Baptists from an even more ignominious defeat.
