N YEW YORK, June 22-Smiling
n Jimmy McLarnin, who en-
VI ulroned himself in the hearts
/ Y of New York fight fans in his
first Eastern appearance by a
crashing one-round knockout of Sid
| ferris, Manhattan's own ghost of the
Ghetto has come back to his throne.
After a month spent in the shade cast
the hands of the lightweight champion,
Sammy Mandell, Jimmy made sue
cess of his comeback last night by stop
ping Phil McGraw after only 2 minutes
AS seconds of the first round.
Tackling in McGraw one of the tough
est battlers in his class, one whose jaw
had never been found vulnerable in over
hundred fights. Jimmy landed three
times with his good right mauler and
each time scored clean knockdown.
After the fourth time the Detroit florist
went to the canvas Referee Jack Dor
man led McLarnin to a neutral corner
in token of a technical knockout.
Before a dozen seconds of the bout
had passed Jimmy tented and slipped
over terrific wallop that sent McGraw
through the ropes. The Detroit battler
fought back gamely with nothing but
VIC uo"CA aAeoAiSe w neSp .1a. SoAAS'
but the battle had ended with that one
punch.
Three times McGraw stumbled to his
feet after going down. The fourth time,
when the referee interviewed, 1t was
doubtful whether he could have risen.
Gotham's fandom signalized the re-
turn of their idol to the heights with a
burst of cheering such as seldom has
been heard within the portals of Tex
Richards temple of fisticuffs 1t was
fully five minutes after the fight had
ended before the announcer could make
himself heard to proclaim McLarnin the
victor
Baby-face Jimmy's second one-round
knockout has raised him to the same
high level among the lightweightS that
he reached by his first. The fight had
hardly ended before the fans began call

ing for another meeting between the
smiling idol of New York and the dark
Shiek of Rockford.
Always willing to oblige the customers,
Richard has indicated his willingness to
stage the return bout. Unless Jim Null
len, Chicagos boxing impressario, has
a prior lien on McLarnin's services, as
Rickard fears, he hopes to stage sec
ond Mandell-McLarnin meeting before
the end of the Summer and give the
New York fans a chance to see more
experienced Jimmy pit his punch
against the boxing skill of the champion.

Quoting boxing shows ever since boxing
was legalized in the State, sometimes
with small profit, often with a loss.
Always he would say: Wait until |

the region between Mascali and the

The disaster so stunned the simple
folk Of the countryside that gen

scene from Catania sometimes found
il necessary to use force to drive
them to places OF safety.
The three casualties were a father.
SON and grandson named Plstorio'
They had returned to their home 20
save household goods and as they
slept the lava surrounded the dwell
ing. Fellow townsmen were forced
"a watch death overtake the three
from beyond the lake of lava.
The spectacle of relentlessly flow
ing lava seemed to exercise a terri
BILE fascination on men and beasts
A number of cats we're lured into
Mascali by the fiery sight and de
troyed by the molten mass. Birds
which lowered over the river Of lava
were caught by the fumes and flut-
tered down into the fire like dead
leaves.
Two poor peasant women tearfully
begged the authorities for permits.
sion TO disinter the body of one of
their relatives so as to bury 1t In a
safer place. The advance Of the lava
made il necessary that the request
be refused.
The principal stream Of lava was
flowing in the direction Of the raii-
wav station at Mascali. AlthoSh y
had advanced to within $50 yards OF
the road bed. rail service was con
tinuing. The stream, which mad
been flowing at a rate of 100 yards
an hour, diminished in speed and to-
day was making only 10 to IL yards
an hour.
Thousands OF spectators came
from all over Sicily and Cala6ria
They were obliged TO park their cars
far from the scene Of destruction
and proceed afoot.
Giovanni Giuratti. minister OF
nublic works, was mastering all aid
for the stricken people. The popula-
toin Of towns which had not been at
fected By the lava flow offered hos

Sicnor Giuratti also was having a.

Dem LEADERS
OF TEXAS TO
STICK IT OUT
All Demands of Anti
Ais Are Ignore d;
Hoover Keeps Lead
Around 1900

DALLAS, Nov. e.-P-Politics
cooled from a boil TO a simmer in
Texas today. Warning factions Of
the republican and democratic par
ties were as far from agreement as
ever. but the passing of the cleo
ton robbed them Of their field Of
battle and there was little that they
could do about their differences be-
ycnd issue statements.
Regular leaders, who championed
al Smith and were defeated at the
Texas polls scoffed at the demands
from the boilers that they resign
their posts. The anti-Smith leaders
continued TO call for r~eorganizati .
OF the party, but the only way they
can force such action is TO defeat
the present leaders in the next state
convention which is two years away.
Regular leaders declared that the
revolutionists would be unable TO
accomplish this. They pointed out
that Hoover won by a few thousand
and that his total was made up of
10000 republicans, plus the boiling
democrats. When the republican
strength is subtracted from this to
tai, they said, the boilers numbers
would fall far below the total vote
FOR Smith which was made up Of
regular democratic ballots.
Last available figures in the state
make Hoover's total 353,76 and
Smiths 334,3Z6. One county has not
been heard from at all. A total Of
10 are reported complete. Hoover's
majority is 19,i37.
Congressman Harry VI. Wurzbach,
the only republican Texas sends to
the upper or lower house seemed 20
have won a narrow victory in the
fourteenth district after a hair rails
ing battle in which he and his demo
cratic opponent. Augustus MeClos-
key Of San Antonio traded the lead
back and forth a dozen times. Me-
Closkey refused TO admit defeat un-
til the official canvass Monday. The
most accurate figures available
gave Wurzbach 29,53s, McCloskey
29.3l6.
In Hidalgo county, on the Rio
Grande. where the republicans
fought, on n smaller scale. a battle
very much like the fight which split
the democratic party. everything was
quiet, though the interest aroused by
the campaign threatened TO keep
politics 10 the fore for some time.
The democratic county ticket
seemed TO have defeated the indie
pendent ticket in almost every in
stance. Reports said that approx
mately 200 ballots remained % be
counted and hat the democratic
candidates were leading. in most
races from 500 70 800 ballots. The
count will be completed today.
The independents threatened tvo
county offices. however. and the re
suits Of these races will not be
known until the count ~ finished.
Gordon Griffin. independent. was
running a strong race for the 93rd
district bench against j. =. Leslie
and Robert Henderson, running for
county commissioner in McAllen
seemed sure Of victory over his
democratic opponent.
