(RY NF,A SERNICE)

San Francisco. July 2a.-There's q new Belfast Spider in the mak- ing out here in the west,
 And like Ike Weir. the original Spider" he's going 10 cause all sorts of trouble for the topnotchers in the feather and lightweight di- visions. From this distance, he looks certain to be a world cham pion in one or both classes.
 Jimmy Mcl.arnin-born in Belfast raised in British Columbia, ring-de- veloped in California-is the new "Spidcr'"' His complete upset of the dope when he gave the late Pancho Villa a baffling exhibition of boxing and took the decision from the fyweight champion, made him national figure overnight.
 But the win from a champion, the paudits of the hero worshippers and the offers of big money from all parts of America aren't bothering McLarnin any more than they do Pop" Foster his manager, guardian and trainer.
 They Stick to Course
 Back in the days when Foster, a gaSsed Canadian veteran, used to drag himself up 10 a little athletic club to watch that scrawny McLar- min kid in knee pants do his stuff the pair figured a course in the box ing world and they refuse to be shaken from it.
 Under guidance of Foster, an old time fighter and manager McLar- | nns great boxing ability was built up until the two decided it was time to leave Vancouver and get a start toWard'the title.
 They had tough slcdding getting on down here, for Jimmy weighing about 100 pounds and just feet tall, looked so scrawny that match. makers feared he would be mur. dered.
 Foster and McLarnin took tc fishing to eke out an existence-bu they kept on after match. Tomm, Simpson, Oakland promoter fnall, put Jimmy on as 8 curtain raiser The curtain went up with a bang Jimmy was the sensation of tn, show.
 Next week if was the same thing and for a number of weeks there after,
 A few sensational fights, and hi services were in demand. H. bat tered hantamveights here. in Oak land and in Los Angeles until he be came an idol. It was enough f make a kid cocky, and Jimmy. wit 52 victories and no defeats, lost , tough battle to Bud Tavlor th Terre Hautte troublemakcr. Predicts Title for Proteee , This didn't stop Foster and Nc | Larnin, however. For in the fsc of cries of rushing the boy. he ~. matched with the late Pancho VIII, the wonderful Filipino flash. An : Jimmy went into the ring on tr
 short end of Fl and S-1 bets. Br , he came out victorious.
 Offers galore came in after + Villa fight But the program ba
 to be adhered to. Jimmy and Fo,
 fer are up in the Canadian Rocki,
 now, hunting and fishing whi Y, Jimmy builds up some more sol |, weight, He's iS or 1a. and Eror
 ing rapidly,
 But watch out for his smokc wh, 4 ho comes back again-this time | the featherweight class. Foster isr = sure whether Jimmy's to be .t f"athorw"ight or 10 grow into
 liEhtwcight-but he's sure he'll be h champion of the world right aft |, he's 2l and fully matured.
