I'VE been looking over the

The romantic mode"
they call it. Have you noticed
'em? They are worth thinking
about-plenty.
Long, limp, dangerous lines
Traily skirts, Swooping about
the ankles
Tricky corselettes that lace
in your waist line or
what should be your waist
line
Sloppy. Ioppy turbans falling
away from your newly bleached
complexion and your freshly
plucked eyebrows. making you
look like a cross between a
china egg and an asparagus

Everything swirly and swoony,
Slinky and swiShy-

Then you are a vain old

You make studied effort to

 Maloney met the erstwhiIe hard rock" for the second time last night and had but little trouble grinding him 10 fine sand with a succession of left iabs and hooks. 'he blows hich cut the New Zealander 10 ribbons last July when he met Gene Tunney for the worlds title.
 Eighteen months ago Tom met Naloney for the first time and drop ped him for the 10-count with two right hooks in the opening round. He was not prepared for the re- vita liZed Bostonian last night. enter ing the ring much slower than he was before his long lay-off and carrying extra poundaee which be- came great load half-way through the conflict.
 Tom made the mistake Of carry ing his right too low all during the contest and he was never able 10 move it up in time to stop Maloney's left, which came in fast and hard. Heeney's face was cut in several places but Maloney escaped unmark- ed. The latter's body was not even reddened by the New Zealander's slugging, indicating that Tom s punches were not as strong as they were before his long vacation. Maloney carried eight rounds | Heeney took one and the other was even. Toms best performance came in the second session when he land ed several Of his best right hooks on the Maloney chin. He was great | ly surprised wh n Jimmy took them without flinching.
 Maloney added this victory to his Johnny Risko and Con O'kelly wins and declared himself in line for the worlds title. He and his mangaer. 1 shrewd Dan Carroll, agreed that one more decision over a first class l heavyweight would give them an im- pressive claim for the throne Tunney 1 abdicated. Carroll announced that | he would attempt to match Maloney
 with Jack Dempsey and. if success full. would demand a coronation for l his battler.

|MLARNIN ROCKS
 CLICK ID SLEEP
Irish Battler Shows He Is Two
 PSted Fighter

New York. March : R-Jimmy McLarnin. boyish-faced Celt from the Pacific coast, Is ready to gradu- ate to the welterweight division. and he won't do his campaigning with one hand either.
 Jimmy finally convinced eastern fistic critics that he was not simply right hand slugger when he knocked out tough Joe Click. the Willia msburg tailor. in the second round of . ten round battle in Madi- son Square Garden last night.
 True. the knockout punch came from McLarnin's right arm, bat twice before the finishing punch he had floored Click with left hooks He seemed to have equal power in either hand and Click simply crumpled up under tho two-fisted attack which swept over him like . cyclone.
 McLarnin already had whipped Click on points on the two previou: occasions they met. He went into the fray last night a two to one favorite, but few thought he could stop so rugged and rough battlel as Click. The Williamsburg tailor in more than 150 fights. had been knocked out only twice. both these reverses coming when he was cam paigning as a featherwelght three or four years ago.
 For the first minute of fighting it appeared that Click not onl! might stay the limit but possibly carry off the decision. He boxed confidently and shot over few lief, hooks to McLarnin's body while the coast youth waited for an opening Suddenly 1t came and McI.arnir whipped over terrific left hook tt Clicks chin. The Willia msbure pants presser was hurt. and badly but he continued to smile as McLar, | Tin drove him around the ring with fierce two-handed assault. Nc. i Larnin used either hand indiscrim. inately. and Click didn't care fol either.
 But the New Yorker lasted out i the session and came out in goot l shape for the second round. Jimm, didn't wait so long this time. H. shot over another left hook tha staggered the tailor. Another floor ed him for count of nine. He go up and back pedalled before { storm of punches. Again a left hool | floored him for another count 9 nine. Click was taking the wors beating of his career. Warding of his rivals attack as best he could Click rctreated unsteadily until h, had nearly reached McI.arnin's cor ner. Here Jimmy measured his maj and floOred him for the third an, last tim" with a straight right tha carried with II all the strength il his arm. Click tried vainly to ris, at eight and then sank back to th' 1 floor to be counted out.
