 Forced 10 postpone his light weight titular match between Sam . my Mandell, the Rockford Sheik'' and Jimmy McLarnin. the "baby faced." dynamite-hsted Pacific coast challenger. for two days in a row. Rickard re-scheduled it again for the Polo Grounds tonight and then sat down to watch whether the weather man would behave.
 The mere threat of rain with it's attendant effect on box office re- ceipts led to the first postponement on Thursday. Yesterday an all-day downpour made another delay ne- cessary.
 The second postponement threw some concern into the camps of both Mandcll and McLarnin It meant that both would have to weigh in again at 135 pounds this afternoon. Both have put On some weight since the original weighing in on Thursday afternoon. McLar- min at that time was a half pound under the lightweight limit. Man. dell. however. just barely made the mark after a brisk workout had re- moved an extra half pound Of adi- pose tissue
 Soon after yesterdays postpone ment was announced Mandell and McIarnin went 10 work. The cham- pion went through the equivalent of I rounds of exercise. The coast slugger shadoW-boxcd, skipped rope and punched the bags for nine.
