Jimmy McLarnin's flying fists beat
a preemptory challenge to Sammy
Mandell, the lightweight champion.
when they knocked out Louis (Kidb
kGplan, former featherweight title
holder, in the eighth round last
night.
Coming out Of the west behind a
blaze of advance notices which Chi
Cago fight fans took with a grain Of
salt, McLarnin fought far ahead Of
the best things that had been said Of
him. kaplan, who was being polished
for a change at the lightweight title,
offered solid resistance at the start
but faded under the McLarnin
whaling.
Six thousand fight fans seemed
satisfied that il was the greatest
fight Chicago has seen since box
ing was recognized by the legisla-
Gown once in the first round and
again in the second, only TO have the
far westerner come back with q
power that would not be stopped.
McLarnin dropped Kaplan in the
fourth for a count Of three. In the
fifth he repeated. only Kaplan stayed
down for nine. Hard rights did the
work both times. In the eighth an.
other solid right crumpled Kaplan
but he staggered up at nine. A right
cross to the jaw caught him, and
that time he was counted out.
The conquest has made McLarnin
the most probable choice Of Pro.
meter Jim Mullenf o. the fight in
which Mandell has agreed to defend
his title here November IS.
