LEONARD BOXES
 M'LARNIN IN 10 ROUND GARDEN GO

Max Schmcling Is resting on hit laureIs after his convincing victory over that tough, game. and cour- sgoous little Irishman. Mickey Walker. It was a fight that has stimulated great interest in the box ing game and bids for Madison Square gardens premiere of the season on Oct to be q bowling success.
 The indoor season comes into being week from Friday night whom in Madison Square garden. Jimmy McLarnin, a fighter ht to be measured for his ability. courage and all that to Mickey Walker, and Irish with it, is billed to meet the greatest of all come-backs. Benny Leonard in a ten round bout.
 It's a bout which should be a duplicate in point of combat as Waf that terrific battle in the bowl, ana to add further and needed prestige for the fist sport.
 This time, the Irishman will pre- dominate as favorite, but faVorites in the garden have not always run true to form and there is probably a greater uncertainty in the result of this impending duel than there was in that one over in Long Island City.
 As sincere as was Mickey Walker fin going through those many weeks of training just as much is Benny Leonard. The former lightweight champion, always n lover Of the game as a spectacle as well as a contestant. refused to depart from his training quarters ht pr B!efs place at Pompton. N. J. to see the scrap, which promised just what II gave. He elected to stay out there and continue his drive to perfect condition for his bout with the hard hitting Irishnan.
 But Jimmy could not be kept away and he came up from ms training quarters at Sayville, l.. l. to see the bout. But he's back a' his camp today and started in box ing for the Leonard scrap.
 "That was 4 great scrap between Mickey and Max, quoted little Jlm my after the light was over. 'Ili warrant you that the one between Benny and me will be as great. know am to meet the huperlhtiVe in boxing skill when 1 meet Leon ard and I'm not going to leave thing undone to fit me for this one, I'll need my punch and the eye o' a sharp-shooter to get me by, TOT 10 rounds, know the former champion is at tops. My only chance will be to win by knockout ana that despite the fact that I'm LOOK ed upon as a very good boxer.

Mccarthy Banking On Ruth;
 Grimm Expects Hard Fight
New York, Sept -(UP)-The rival worlds series managers issued as usual the following pregame state-

Joe Mccarthy of the yankees We are confident. I am certain we will make as good a showing as any Yankee team ever did. l expect hard fight, however. It's a natural series between the two biggest cities in the country. The team is in great shape. and will have no excuses. Babe Ruth | think, is in good shape, and with Ruth ready, I'm confident the Yankees will not disappoint.
 Charley Grimm of the Cubs We're going to win. I won't at- tempt to say how many games 1t will go, but we're going to be doing our best to grab those first two games here and then finish 1t at Wrlgley field. My men .rap'f ecarcd Of the Yankee hit

cnce, although he has one world series game to his credit. In. 1929 he pitched the only game tho Cubs won against Philadelphia. But 1t will be a novel experience in that this is the first time he ever has seen the Yankee stadium, and 1t will also be the first time he has gazcd upon the eye-filling figure of Babe Ruth.
 As matter of fact. the sboys from Chicago are giving off the ini- pression-perhap as part of studied strategy--that they're jus. bunch of good. honest boys from the sticks, coming to see the sights.
 They emphasize that they know nothing about the Yankee stadium, it's tricky air currents. and the puzzling way in which an after noon sun, if any, slants over the west stands and shoots dazzling rays at the fielders.
 They had planned to practice yesterday. but Charley Grimm kept his squad under blankets.
 ,To-day,s crowd may be between 50.000 and 55.000, leaving numer- ous bald patches in tho towering stands.
 This lack of customers. some 13.- 900 fewer than saw tho record breaking opener at the stadium fin 1926, Is not due to business condi- omists, but to the cum bersome sys- tenn of buying tickets.
 Unless you stand in line and buy an unreserved seat, you must pur- chase blocks of three tickets--one to each of the first three games.
 The big attraction, as usual. Is Babe Ruth. This will be the tenth series in which the great man of base ball has been an active par ticipant.
 Ruth Ready
 Ruth, fragile man for his bulk, was stricken with malady that seemed like appendicitis but appeared to have recovered suffl- ciently to-day to wield willow wand.
 Sports writers gather the opinion that the Chicagoong consider Babe fRuth the entire Yankees batting order. They seemingly, are for getful of the fact that the Tanks boast six clouters in the 1900 class. The Cubs were underdogs in tho betting, with reports of odds at to 2 on the home town boys for the opening game.
 The statisticicians who. laid end to end( as they should bel would reach from the Grand Central stu ton to 161st street where the stadium sprawls out by the elevat- ed, generally agree that the Yan- kee outficld tops that of the Cubs. and that their infield is more for midable.
 In pitching staffs, there is more equality, although the Cubs have no outstanding southpaw, and the Yankees think well of Lefty Gomez, Herb Pennock and Ed Wells.
 There is perhaps equal power behind the plate. but Bill Dickey. the Yankee catcher Is rated point or two ahead of Gabby Hartnett Of Chicago. U.
