he was three; his mother, a Polish

PETROLLE TAKES
TORRID BATTLE
FROM M'LARNlN
By l.. s. CAMERON

United Press Sports CORRESPONDENT
NEW YORK, -;oN 22.(U.H-Billy
Petrolle, usually subtitled THE
Fargo Express" today sat on the
right hand of Tony Canzoneri, king
of the lightweights.
Petrolle earned his title as crown
prince of this currently popular
class by scoring an impressively
convincing 10 round decision over
Jimmy McLarnin, courageous, two
listed welterweight of Vancouver,
B. c., and California. McLarnin
offered as an excuse that he had
broken his right hand early III the
bout.
The Petrolle victory, by the way,
was the third consecutive sure
thing to go sour in Madison Square
Garden.
McLarnin had been so pronounc-
ed a favorite that the wise boys
who offered their four to your one
were able to find but few takers.
This, OF course turned out to be
a break for the professional gam
blers who had been sure they
would recoup their losses on Cho-
colate against La Barba and on
Singer against Canzoneri.
The fight was the best seen in
New York this season as well as
the bloodiest.
The drama OF the fight began in
the first round when Petrolle op-
ened a two fisted attack which
nearly floored the Vancouver boy
Again in the second Jimmy was
nearly floored but, CLASSY eyed. he
fought on and stayed upright.
McLarnin was down twice for
counts of nine in the for~th.
The United Press sheet gave Pc
trolle all of the rounds except the
ninth When McLarnin Won and the
third and fifth which were even.
Despite the enormous point mar
gin piled up by Petrolle the bout
remained interesting at every mo-
ment. This was because McLarnin
who boasts reputation as g
puncher, often rocked Petrolle with
rights to the head, and even at his
bloodieSt. McLarnin was ever dan
I gerous, despite his bad hand.
