MlARN|N TO GE7
 CHANCE AT TITLE
Betting Gentry Giving Odds That
 Manddl Wins Bout

New York. May IT N-Baby Face Jimmy McLarnin--the harp that twanged the corls in Sid Ferris chin just once to become the lightweight sensation of the day-will have his chance tonight to strum knockout music on the jaw of sammy Mandell. champion of the division.
 The boys who wager on nstic com bat laid odds of : to 1 yesterday, however. that the clever titiehoider from Rockford. H.. would evade the knockout wallop in McI.arnin's right hand. They were less confident that new champion would not be crowned at the end of tho l5-round skirmish in the Polo Grounds, the first major combat of tho season. Mandell was a bare ( to s favortte to "cop the duke" If the fight went the limit.
 Odds on the sluggtng Celt from Los Angeles stinened as Jimmy came into tho city from his training camp to weigh in before tho boxing commissioners at 2 p. m. Mandell. a natural lightweight. expected no difficulty with the scales while Me- l.arnin, who started his career q a hyweisht was close indeed to the class limit of l36 pounds.
 The boys who put their cash on Mandeli, despite the all-round skill. speed, and ring craft Of the cham plon' shuddered a bit at the thought or what happened when that other ring flash. Sid Ferris, collided with an cIsht-inch thrust of Jimmy's right fist several weeks ago. Al. though the punch travelled too fa.t ior the eyes of most of the iS.0oo gathered in Madison Square Garden. all saw over Ferris twitchin9 form the shadow Of a champion-for that night at least.
 with the hysteria of that aensa : tional one-round knockout dcadencd by time. ring critics now believe that Mandell despite hts unwiilinkness to r'sK ms title more than once in the two years he has held it, is too fast ana clever for tho challenger. AL though McIarnin boasts knockouts m the past year over tough Kid kaplan, in addition to Ferris. and q decisive victory over Billy Wallace. Cleveland contender, critics forecast that Mandell will outsmart the Cal. lornia Celt and climb up ofy the noor If necessary to win.
 handell. although he has enxa eeA in titular hattie only with Phil Nc. draw the 135-pound crown from the ageing Rocky Kansas. has warded or ring rust with 30 fights in the past two years. He made the light weight for Jackie Fields in Los Angeles year ago and barely won the newspaper verdict although Fields was overweight Mc0raw gave Sammy . hard light and Bi,,y retrolIe put the champion on the floor but couldn't keep hin there.
 More than so.000 customers are expected to mob the big National league ball park for the first biz lightweight title 70 hers since Kenny Leonard trounced Lew Tendier there five years ago.

ATHLETICS TO CONTINUE
 MAD CHASE AFTER YANKEES
New York Team Unable to Give Philadelphia Any Great Amount of Dust-Corre Mack Saving Re serves Until Next Thursday-Hand Cleveland ln- dians Shellacking - Red Sox Trim Tigers In II Innings No Other Games Played In Either IAarue
By the Associated PresA

By the Associated Presa
 With three Indian scalps in their locker, the Athletics were ready to. day to continue their mad chase after the flying Yankees in what still may be called the American league race. Babe Ruth and his fellows have been showing signs of again turning this competition into a sort of Australian pursuit. with no pursuers. but they have not yet given the Athletics any great quan- tity Of dust. for all of New York's astounding 1908 percentage.
 Connie Mack still is concentrating . his efforts on remaining within striking distance of the Yankees until next Thursday. when he hopes to begin tucking few defeats into the hides of the Manhattan maulers. Like the recently closed series with Cleveland. tho engagement against New York will extend through five games. including double headers next Thursday and Friday and a single game on Saturday.
 The Athletics in the meantime will be stacked up against no more formidable opposition than the Chi cago White Sox and the Washing Connie with a chance to bolster his standing. The Yankees. however, will feast upon the St. Louis Browns and tho Boston Red Sox.
 The Red Sox incidentally are be- coming no mean proposition. They will be out after their sixth straight victory this afternoon as the Detroit Tigers strive to snap a losing streak which has enduring through six engagements. The Red Sox trim med the Tigers by 5 to 4 in II in- nings yesterday in one of the only two games scheduled in the Ameri- can league.
 In the other the Athletics a field day against the Indians. Cobb and Hale hit homers for the Athletics after FOnseca had driven one over tho fence for Cleveland, while Jim- my Foxx got two triples and a dou- ble. All of this outburst against Miller, Harder and Brown enabled the Athletics to win by Is to 2. Rube Walberg won his fifth con- secutivs game.
 The victory gave tho Mackmen the odd game in five against the In- diAns after Cleveland had won the first two. The loss first two. The loss Of the series. coupled wits de- feat in the New York skirmish. re- duced the Indians definitely to third place and rendered precarious their positi0n as cOntenders.
 All was quiet along the National league front yesterday. The sched- ule called for games in Pittsburgh and st. Louis but rain prevented both contests. The teams shifted today for the start of the getaway series of the first western invasion by the east.
