Jimmy Mc14arnin, another OF
j the clever boxers the Pacific

titles, beat a peremptory
challenge on the lightweight throne
OF Sammy Mandell last night when
he hammered his way to 10srOund
victory over Billy Wallace of Cleve

I'VE want Mandell next" said Pop
Foster, manager of McLarnin, after
the bout. Jimmy has beaten Wallace
and Kid Kaplan, the outstanding con
tenders of the division and is entitled
to title bout"
There was little doubt Of the super
ority of the Los Angeles fighter over
Wallace, and the decision met with
approval of the fans, who had made
the Cleveland battler the favorite in
the betting.
Jimmy came from behind to punch
out his victory. Carrying the milling
to his foe in the early rounds, Wallace
was weakened considerably in the
closing rounds due to the terrific
right hooks to the head, and his lead
slipped.
Neither fighter backed up an inch
throughout, and the final bell found
them smuggling toe to toe in one OF
the furious exchanges that marked
the contest from the starting gong
Ringsiders gave McLarnin two
rounds by large margin, with honors

BY SOL METZGER.

Tommy Armour is a model for hit
ting with the mashie. I have sketch
ed his downswing stroke from top to
contact, placing the figures in such a
way that you can get the straight
through idea that controls his shot.
1t is a starting pull down with the
left arm and as the club comes down
on straight line for the ball he be-
gins hitting with his right to speed
up the head so that it Is cut into and
through under the ball.
The clean hit mashie is one which
makes contact before the turf is
struck, as Armour's clubface Is doing
in the lower Illustration. After that
contact it merely skins through the
top OF the turf, taking no divot. One
must avoid contact with ground and
ball at the same time. as that tends to
throw the face off line. Get the ball
first, then the turf, so the face will
stay true to line. The club gives the
ball loft, and the more you open it
the greater this loft and the more eff
fective the backspin, because a high
ly lofted ball will drop almost per.
pendicularly to the green. The back
spin is then most effective. Armour's
shot is merely throwing the clubhead
through the ball, with wrists stiff
enough at contact to force 1t on
through the turf on the line of flight.
Tomorrow I will deal with the finish
Of the mashie stroke.

Army Coach D. c. Product.
Army's lone contribution under
this heading is no less a parsonage
than the head coach of foot ball
at West Point, Capt. Lawrence
"Bif' Jones, while the Annapolis
contingent consists of a trio of
players, all likely to see active
service in the Saturday fracas.
The most prominent of these is
Ned flanagan, captain and quar-
terback of the Middies' eleven,
and who, in addition, holds the
rare distinction of also being cap
tain of the base ball nine. The
others are Dave Welchel, who
will take Hannegah's place at

ter is relieved, and Midshipman
Wood first substitute as snapper

which will be brought to an end
by this contest.
The conclusions of those spccu-
latively inclined are based princi-
paly on the 18-to-0 reverse the
Cadets inflicted on Notre Dame
after the Fighting Irish had taken
Nays measure by 19-to-6
count, but Army-Navy games are
peculiarly hard to accurately fore
cast, as many notable upsets in
the past will attest.
For many years after the first
meeting on the gridiron, in 1000,
between the Cadets and Midship-
men their games were attractive
chiefly as spectacles, the quality
of foot ball on display being of an
inferior brand compared with that
offered by the big colleges.
Rank With Best Now.
That long since has ceased to be
true, however, and in recent years
both service elevens have been
able to compete on even terms
with the best in the country.
This game Saturday may be ex-
pected to intrigue not only those
who revel in the sight of uni
forms, pomp and display. but real
fans who like their foot ball
served with all the trimmings the
modern open game affords.
