Lightweight Champion Easily Out points "Spug" Myers in Bout in Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. IS R}-Sammy Mandell's rule over the lightweight division of fistiana was more secure than ever today.

 The champions title was not at stake as he and Myers fought above the lightweight limit, but the victory improved Mandell's mental attitude toward his present challenges It was his third major engagement since winning the title here 14 months ago.

(BY JIMMY POWERs)

New York, Nov. 1s.-Well, if we haven't got Baby Face" back in our midst again. And it looks like the chubby checked little rascal is going to stay quite spell. He has signed for three big appearances this coming winter
 This story is about Mir. James McI.arnin, who is nicknamed Baby Face and who, among other things, is lightweight boxfghter and quite a good one too if a sensational and totally unexpected knockout over Mr. Kaplan- -the-Keed means any thing.
 Fight fans tongues are buzzing as they speculate and null over his chances with Sid Ferris, Billy Wal lace and Sammy Mandel, the line up made for him this coming in door season. His first appearance is scheduled for Detroit on Novem- Der 23. against Billy Wallace.
 We've discovered he's a foreign menace" Everyone figured Me Larnin Californian. He is noth- ing of the sort, he'll remind you earnestly. He is an 1rishman and he was born in the "ould country" and came across the seas when he was a ''wee bit Of spalpeen." He was born December IT, 1905.
 Hes one sweet kid" says Benny Leonard, the undefeated lightweight champion of the world. He has put plenty of kick into my favorite fighting division.
 T remember boxing with him In an exhibition out on the coast. He, growing too quickly and I under stand that sapped his vitality. That explains why he quit the bantam ranks and is now blossoming out as a full -fedged lightweight. He may go on and be a heavy yet--and good one. too. He is a bit slow of foot but packs q mean punch in either hand and is smart"
 McLarnin, who stands five feet six inches, started his career four years ago. He had the usual anna teur introduction and went well, shining as a powder puff' type.
 Baby Face was the monicker pinned on the kid at that time. He is unusually young looking and seems to be the same Celtic type as 'Tunney that natures slowly.
 The high spot of his opening pro- fessional year is a decision over Fidel LaRarba and draw with the same gentleman. He also beat Frankie Sands, Joe Dillon, Abe Gordon, Young Nationalist and Sammy Lee
 The next season he knocked out Jackie Fields in two rounds, beat tidel LaRarba again In ten, Young Farrell Teddy Silva and Pancho Villa and Bud Taylor-not a bad year at that.
 Then he began to grow. His ring labors became too strenuous. Tay- Tor beat him twice. Johnny F'arr and Doc Shell copped the duke over his tousled pompadour and he faded out of the picture.
 Hes back now. Strong as a young bull The way he tlattcncd Mir. kaplan-thc-kecd was a picture.
 Mcssrs. Ferris, Wallace and Man dell arc ahead of him. They have | not been setting the world afire of | late. Maybe Benny Leonard's hunch is right. Maybe he will be the next champion. Maybe.

R0RWEEN SIGNED
 ID COACH AGAIN
Harvard Mentor, Despite Rec ord Is Popular With His Men

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 16 P>-
 Arnold Horween. Harvard's head coach of football has another year in which to make good, and news Of his reappointment served today to inspire the Crimson team to fresh heights in it's preparation for Sat urdays classic with Yale.
 Horween. despite his not particu- larly outstanding record at Harvard, has been popular with his men, a situation not enjoyed by all of his predecessors, and the squad welcom- cd the announcement of William J. Bingham, director of athletics, that the Chicago man would be back at the helm in 1928.
 Blngham's definite pronouncement set at rest newspaper speculation concerning Horween's status at the end Of the present season.
 The athletic director reiterated his previously expressed confidence in his coach and his known view that it takes matter of years for a foot ball mentor to become established.
 Horween was Bingham's personal that the former has been unable to check appreciably the Crimson's los ing streak has not shaken his belief in the coach's ability eventually to evolve winning combination.
 Last year Harvard lost five out of ai oh ip1 nc ha o11 portant Yale contest while this year, in the face of a much stiffer sched- ule but with the assistance of bet ter material, it has won four and lost three.
 The climax Of the season will come next Saturday when Yale's great team attempts to repeat 1926 history.
 In previous games Harvard down. ed Vermont. Holy Cross, Indiana and Brown but bowed 10 Purdue, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania.
 Horween came to Cambridge as a successor to Bob Fisher, resigned. He was a former Harvard captain, and was considered one of the great est defensive fullbacks who ever wore a Crimson jersey. After grad nation, he was associated for time with a Chicago semi professional football team.
 When not occupied by gridiron luties here, he is engaged in the , eather business at Chicago with his i 'ather and brother, Ralph, another l ,amous Harvard football player.

NEW HAVEN TEAM DEFEATS LOCALS
Roller Hockey Quintet Bows to
 Elm City Combination

New Haven, Nov. 15- Roller hockey got off to a flying start thi: season in Music hall last evening when the local poloists scored a to victory over New Britain in an American league contest. A crowd of close to 500 rabid fans was on hand for the 1927 debut and saw some sensational playing. The game was exceptionally clean, Referee Hugh Rorty not being called upon to make one penalty.
 The star of the game was Al Davies, the Wolves first rush. The popular local player caged eight of | the nine goals, having his eagle eye working to perfection at all times. Blount had his hands full, watching the deceptive and driving shots | Davies aimed at him all night. and it is safe to assume that that gentle man was glad when the final whis- tie blew Davies also was excep- | tionaly fast on the getaway last evening, winning eight rushes to five for McAloon of the visitors. Dick Donnelly tallied the other New Ha- | ven goal.
 McAloon was the star of the Hardware City aggregation. getting one of the visitors two goals and being in almost every play, despite the overwhelming odds against him and his teammates.
 In a preliminary game the Pros pect Beach team scored ? to 1 vic- tory over the All-stars in a hotly contest battle Lineups and sum- mary:

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-Stronger
Liverpool cables and less favorable
weekend weather conditions in the
cotton belt encouraged further buy
ing and short covering in the cotton
market here today.
This resulted in an early rise of
about 81 a bale, but on the advance,
offerings by profit taking interests
were in sufficient supply to fill all
buying orders. Operators were I'm.
pressed by the fact that exports
Saturday were decidedly larger. and
1t was of rather general belief that
the markets technical structure had
been materially strengthened.
Trading was brisk at the outset.
owing for the most part to an accu.
mutation of weekend orders. Bust
ness simmered down later in the SEES
sion. Sentiment still was somewhat
confused by the recent violent and
erratic price fluctuations.
A few of the more conservative in
terests do not care to expires any
opinion regarding the immediate
trend Of the market, and the more
venturesome operators are also In
clined to proceed cautiously in max.
ing new commitments.
Noon prices were: December,
20.55. up 26; January, 20.62, up rs,

NEW YORK, Oct. 3I.-Short.cov
ering Of the speculative leaders In
the industrial and motor stock
groups accounted for the opening
gains of 2 to Az points at the
beginning Of trading today. but fin
ancial and business conditions over
the weekend were practically un-
changed, and there was little or no
incentive for investment or specula.
tive buying of stocks. After the
opening spurts. therefore. active
stocks settled back to a lower range
of prices. with professionals appar-
emily ready to supply all require.
ments around the current price
scale.
Last weeks stirring up of the
whole market on aggressive short
selling had the natural effect Of
over-selling the market. Profession.
ais scrambled for stocks to replace
their short commitments and sue
cSssive buying waves passed over
the market in this period. Du Pont
was in demand around 305. up i
points from Saturdays close. and
General Motors, after an early re-
covery and dip to lower levels, raj.
ried to above 1913 for. 2-point gain.
Houston Oil was marked up to 1884
at the opening but failed to hold at
that price. United States Steel sold
above 1870. against Saturdays close
a. 1881.
A decline in business volume as
compared with last year. but moth.
ing resembling a business depreS.
sion. was the general summary of
present conditions in the finalcial
district. Conservatism in buying
stocks was urged on all sides, even
though the rally now in progress
carries TO considerable distance.
Prospects of new beneficial legisla-
ton for the oil industry was an i'm.
portant factor in the stiffening of
prices of oil stocks. and the steels
reflected the certainty OF the end of
the period of price cutting.

HEARINGS BEGIN
ON TAX GUT

Hope Of inaugurating a non.
partisan tax reduction program in
the new Congress virtually was
abandoned by party leaders as the
House Ways and Means Committee
began public hearings on the pro.
posed measure today.
Republican and Democratic spokes-
men chung tenaciously to their own
programs, with the difference in
the amounts of the proposed re-.
auctions seemingly too great to be
reconciled without a bitter political
struggle.
Belief that President Coolidge
would veto a bill which slashed the
revenues to g. point which might
result in a deficit served to modify
the earlier optimistic predictions
OF the extent of the reduction.
The Republican program, based
upon the advice of the Treasury
and the plans of Congressional
leaders. indicated an ultimate fig
IRE of 100000. 200 to 5000, 900 900,
with corporations receiving the
greatest benefit.
The Democratic program agreed
upon by Senator Simmons, North
Carolina. and Representative Gar.
ner, Texas. ranking minority men,
bers OF the Senate and House fiscal
committees. still calls for a tax cut
OF $500 100000 to $500, 100000 des-
pite the pessimistic estimates of
the Treasury.
President Coolidge and Secretary
OF the Treasury Mellon have al
ready condemned these figures. de-
claring that any such decrease in
the levies at this time will result
In deficit and higher rates within
the next two years.
