WLARNIN KAYOES LIGHTWEIGHT KING Al Singer Takes Gount of 10 in Third Round of Bout Neww York, Sept. 12 (UP)—Add‘to the list of sadder but wiser young men today the name of Al Singer, lightweight champlon of all worlds. Young Singer stepped out last night at the Yanke: Stadium before some 40.000 customers to prove hig worth by taking on Jimmy McLar- rin Late in the third round, after two minutes and 21 seconds of fighting, they dragged Singer from the ring by his heels while the Coast boy turned handsprings in his corner. Singer is still ltghtweight ruler, however, as McLarnin came in at 140, well above the lighweight limit. Singer weighed 135} The end came suddenly. Thev were banging away against the ropes in a neutral corner when the champion slumped to the floor from the effects of a short but sizzling left hand drive to the jaw. Singer game- ly came to his feet after a count of nine and staggered into a clinch. A second later he hit the floor for geod when another left hand punch smacked his face. While the count was. being tolled he rolled over and over, holding his neck in the man- ner of a fighter who has been de- McLarnin furnished the spectators laugh at the first knockdown when, thinking Singer was out, he began turning his customary hand- springs.» Realizing his mistake the Irishman ceased his spinning and went in for the Kill. Singer brought his supporters to their feet in the first round when he caught McLarnin flush on the jaw with a right hand swipe. Jim- my’'s knees buckled under him but he bounced up and bored in After the bout, Dr. William Walk- er of the state athletic commission xamined Singer and reported that he believed the lightweight cham- pion was suffering from a partial paralysis due to a blow which af- fected the top section of his spinal column. This was not to suggest, however, that Singer had been struck from behind As soon as he was dressed Singer called upon his foe and said: ‘You certainly paralyzed me, Jim- my. You are the best puncher I ever met."* MecLarnin, full of the old blarney, replied “You are a real puncher, Al.. You certainly slammed me in the first round.” LEVINSKY SCORES HAYO ON LOMSKI the | . By WILLIAM BRAUCHER (NEA Service Sports Editor) A young man from the Oneida reservation, who got his start chas- ing foxes across the Dakota prairies, is being hailed as “another Jim Thorpe.” Which makes it appear he has his work all cut out for him— in a big way. | | The young man is Wilson Charles | of Haskell, They call him “Buster" out in Lawrence, Kansas, where he | plays football and baseball and has proved his ability as a three-star | track performer. Other good Indians have come for- ward with promise of becoming sec- ond Jim Thorpes, but all of them | fell short of the glorious goal’ at- | tained by the mighty Sac and Fox. | Buster Charles, however, is but 21. | He has not reached the height of his powers - a5 an all-round athlete. Golden years lie ahead of him, and | it he can improve in the next few | years as he has since he came to | Haskell, the promise of ‘“another | Thorpe” actually may be realized. | T At Haskell for two years, Buster has been the regular fullback.

The king, idol of the west side, | abandoned his fish cart for the ring | a year ago. Last night, he made a deep how in big league competition | by knocking ouf Leo Lomski, the | fifth round of the first on the stadium’'s benefit 10 rounder | card for | 1 little Patricia Harmon. daughter of | CoMpetitor, Harmon, stadium penniless at the ath two months the late Paddy builder. who time of his tragic & aso Lomski, who never before had | been knocked out and who until recently was ranked among the most prominent light heavyweight chal-| lengers, took a terrific beating be- | fore going down for the full count | in the fiffh. He was knocked down | ix times in the first round, three times in the second, thrice again in thel fifth, the last time landing_flat on his back, where he was couilted | cut !

Last year in basketball, Buster was captain of the tdam and one pf its principal point malkers. | He easily won a place on the H. | Haskell baseball team, but has play- ed only a few games because his di- | rectors have deemed his powers of | more value on the track. During the | 1929.30 track season he often scored | almost as many points as all other | members of the team combined. | . oo | The climax of Charles' track ef- | forts was reached in Pittsburgh re- — |one time “assassin” from Aberdeen, | Cently, where he won the decathlon | Wash. The knockout came in the |Championship during the A. A. U. games. The young Oncidan ran up 4706 points, defeating his nearest James Stewart, the Southern California star, by nearly 50 points. Charles topped fhe field in the broad jump with 22 feet 1 1-4 inches. He was third in the 400 meters, tied for third in the high jump. tied for fourth in the 100 meters, fifth in the shotput and ffth in the 110 meter | hurdles. | DS Charles’ great chance to live up to the bright name for his race written by Jim Thorpe's stronz hand will come in the 1932 Olympics at Los Angeles.

Hartford Team Appears as Although playing far below the| standard it had set during the In- | | dustrial league season in this city, | the P. & F. Corbin baseball team, | | pennant winner in the local circuit, | gained the first rung on the ladder | towards the state Industrial league | | championship at Walnut Hill park last night when it defeated the ¥h- ion Drawn Steel Co. team of Hart- | ford, substitute for the Hartford | Endees who were Industrial league champions of Hartford, by the score of 11 to 4. The Union Drawn Steel | team appeared like anything but a championship nine and proved to be a poor representative on the dia- mond of the Capital City. The Corbinites received little op- | position from the visitors but the |listless play of the local combination |gave the Hartfordites an even chance of winning the game. The | | Corbin crew had secured a lead of | | tour runs in the first three innings, | but some solid clouting coupled with |an error, a walk and a wild pitch, | enabled the visitors to tie the count. In the feventh, however, the lo- | cals scored two counters and they | put the game in the electric refrig- | erator wheri they counted five more in the eighth.
