YORK ON MAY II

NEW YORK, March IA P-The
promotoriaI battle of Tex Rickard and
Jim Mullen for the right to stage a
lightweight championship match be-
tween Sammy Mandell, the titleholder,
and Jimmy McLarnin, Pacific coast
sensation, ended today in a complete
victory for the Car of Madison
Square Garden.
While the flashlights of photographs
doomed in Richards office and Null
len doomed threats Of injunction suits
in Chicago, the managers of both
fighters signed contract for a 15-
round match on May II at the Polo
grounds here The contract awarded
Mandell 81 1-2 per cent of the gate
receipts, McLarnin IL IL. Rickard
believes the match will draw about
100000.
Inter-city dickering for the bout
became heated following upon McLar-
nin's sensational one-round knockout
of Sid Terris here several weeks ago.
Mullen, who had Mandells signature
to a contract calling for fight with
McLarnin in Chicago June 81, failed
to tie the baby-faced Irishman to
an agreement before Rickard gained
an option on McIIarnin's service.
After weeks TO negotiation, Rickard
finally won the champion to his side
when Nrlllen's constantly rising Of
fers failed to lure NcLarnin back to
Chicago.
Eddie Kane, manager Of MandelI,
declared that he accepted Richards
off
len could not obtain McLarnin's serv-
ices. Mandell has forfeit of $1,000
posted with the Illinois state athletic
commission binding his June match
for Mullen.
''Mandell will fight for Jim in June
as he agreed to-" Kane said today,
"but there is nothing in our con-
tract with Mullen that prevents the
champion fighting here in May. had
the choice Of fighting McLarnin here
for Rickard or losing the shot en-
tirely, so made the only decision
could"
After signing the contracts, Rick
ard snapped his desk shut for his
| third vacation of the winter season.
He will leave tomorrow for a two
weeks stay in Miami, Fla, where the
scrambled condition of the heavy
weight elimination tournament will
come in for serious discussion with
| Gene Tunney, possessor OF a million
dollar contract with Rickard, for a
title defense this year.
CHICAGO, March IA R-Promter
Jim Mullen explosively declared today
he would file suit restraining Sammy
Mandell from engaging Jimmy Nc
Larnin in lightweight championship
battle in New York for Tex Rickard,
May II.
Mullen has Mandell's signature for
a title match to be fought here June
81. Mandell has $4,000 on deposit with
the Illinois state athletic commission
to. go through with it with McLarnin
as his opponent.
"That contract Rickard has with
ATandell and McLarnin is a joke"
Mullen said 'I have positive knowl-
edge that he has guaranteed Mandell
$65,OOO with the privilege of 40 per
cent and has guaranteed McLarnin
$4,000 with the privilege of taking
171A per cent.
''Rickard is trying to fool the New
York commission by having two sets
of contracts made"

INDOOR running is strange
I sport to practically all of the
foreign runners. Wide and Peltzer
showed convincingly on the board
tracks in this country that they
were five and ten yards off their
outdoor races. and even the great
Nurmi had trouble in adjusting his
pace to the sharply-banked turns
on small tracks.
Some of the best of the American
athletes cannot perform with the
same consistency indoors and out
doors. Loren Murchison for years
was almost unbeatable OH indoor
tracks. but there were number
of sprinters who could beat him
on the cinders. The same was
true of Truck Miller. the Harvard
sprinter and football star.
The foreign runners know their
dirt, if you want to put it that way.
They also are accustomed to tricky
continental weather. 1t listens

: Californians used to ridicule the
complaint OF eastern football teams
that weather handicapped them in
games played on the far western
coast, but tricky weather such az
they have around Amsterdam

you what a chill will do to athletes
