4 4 Empty Handed! THE NEWF ANGLES (Momn Pop) By Cowan I board had offered the Vancouverite 35.000 cold fish for the crack at the title. ALL OK NOTHING Jimmys manager, the wily Pop Foster, held out for the Statue of Liberty and half the Bronx before Madison Square Garden succeeded In signing the two battlers for a bout for tne benefit of the New York Milk Funa, May 28. Although no terms were announcea, if the team of Foster and McLarnin didnt get more than $35,000 guaranteed, we dont know Pop. According to early dope of the experts, McLarnin, due to his long layorr since he won the title from Young Corbett in last May, wont be in a class with Ross. They figure six weeks will be too short a time for the irishman to round into shape after a layoff of a year.

But take a look at the records: Jimmy had only three fights In 1932, one of which he lost to Lou Broulliara. and two knockout wins over Benny 'Leonard and Sammy Fuller. Then there was a long layoff before anyone could get him near a ring. His next bout was the title affair in May, 1933, with young Corbett, whom he knocked out of there In one rouna. Layoffs dont seem to bother McLar-nln.

He can round into shape faster than anyone else In the ring today. That murderous right hand of his never seems to lose the knack of finding its mark with all its power. ROSS BUSY, BUT Ross Is to be commended for his enterprise. The lightweight champion has been one of the most active men in the ring since he won his title, althougn he has preferred to defend his synthetic junior lightweight honors more often than his llghtie crown. But we think hes stepping way out of bounds In taking on Shamus.

The baby-faced one dotes on little guys. He put out Sammy Fullers lights alter eight rounds In 1932 and ended the career of that scrappy little Boston lightweight In short order. Then, too, McLarnin dotes on Jewisn fighters. Among his victims are Jackie Fields, Kid Kaplan, Sid Terris, Joe Gllck, A1 Singer, Ruby Goldstein, ana Benny Leonard. Ross will he handicapped by about seven pounds when he faces Jimmy.

McLarnin will probably come In at 14, the class weight limit, as against Barneys 140.

If not a sadder, young man. He probably will realize the futility of biting off more than ne could chew. The reason will be that Shamus McLarnln, the baby-faced Mick right from the Ould Sod, blaster his hopes of becoming champion of tne welterweights. For four or five months now, Sam Pian has been trying to get McLarnin to sign to meet his light-weight champion In defense of his welter crown. It was reported that Ross managerial V.

Noldier Caruso, above, ambassador of good-will and overseas entertainer with the A. E. will exercise hs robust tenor voice before baseball fans at the Lafayette-Alexandria 1 game here Sunday. In -the World War, Soldier Caruso served with the famous First Division throughout the service, and when he was not fighting he was a member of the Elsie Janis gang which entertained the soldiers in overseas camps. 1 Battered hits the remaining six Innings end striking out four men.

The White Sox were in the mean- 1 while turned back by Bourgeois with eix hits, until the 9th, when Stepnen- sen greeted him with a home run over 1 the center field fence to score Lafay- ettes lone run. Duncan singled, ana Smith, hitting for Mauldin, was thrown cut at first, Duncan going to second on the play, Nethery, pinch hitting for; Dutel, was robbed by Mullen, who took his hard hit line drive over the bag labelled for two bases. Lovl hitting for Tregre, drove a hit toward deep rlgnt which was foul by Inches, then struck cut to end the rally. The feature or tne game was the support given the two pitchers. Schulte and Ardizone had a field day In outer garden, with five put-outs eacn Lourd also gathered four.

Sonnier ana' Doty gave a good exhibition of snort-slopping, getting five assets and one put out each. Lafayette plays the strong Alexandria aces here Sunday and expects to break In the winning column at the visitors expense.
