NJ 'LARN|N BACK
IN FORM BY
FULLER Win
BY QUENTIN REYNOLDS

NEW YORK, Dec. II. - That
fine broth of a lad with the dane
ing blue eyes, James Patrick Nc
Larnin, is quite ready. thank you,
to meet Jackie Fields for the vel.
terweight title. Or If Jackie is un-
available, the minstrel boy will
gladly take on any one else in the
house, irrespective of weight,
color or previous condition Of
servitude.
It was only a few weeks back
that the fiStic fans of Gotham,
which has adopted James Patrick
McLarnin as its own, were shak.
ing their heads sadly as they
watched him founder about
against Lou Broulliard and say,
"Wurra, wurra, now the lad is
slipping" And it was even later
than that they watched the boy
with the dancing eyes perform
only ordinarily against Benneh
Leonard.
So it was that they flocked to
Madison Square Garden last
night more in pity than anything
else to see James Patrick box
that sturdy little bootblack,
Sammy Fuller, who comes from
the city of the CabotS and the
Cod. Sammy is so tough when
he was a kid his parents used
to give him Baldwin locomotives
instead of electric trains for
Christmas. And even though he
weighed 10 pounds less than
James Patrick, there were many
who thought he wouli take the
lad-dancing blue eyes and all.
X. O. Comes in Eighth
But with a Hey Nonny Nonny
and Hot Cha Cha James Pat
rick hoped into the ring and
played the Wearing of the Green
all over the quaint features of
Sammy Fuller, then cleanly and
artiStically knocked him out in
the eighth round.
It was the old Jimmy McLarnin
swapping a dynamic left hook to
that Fuller jaw time after time.
It was the old Jimmy. called
Baby Face" because babies cry
for him-and SO good looking is
the lad no wonder. Three times
he floored Sammy and three
times the sturdy Boston warrior,
a good fighter my frierdS. arose.
But the fourth time ne fell for
ward after receiving a left hook
that would have flattened a pro-
cess server.
He fell forward as cold as the
cod they sell in his home city.
His eyes took on a lustre that
told plainly enough that his mind
was wandering in sylvan pastures
far removed from the 10000
screaming fight fans exhibiting
their worship for young Jimmy.
The Washington times., 1932-12-17

With each squad holding one de-
cision, the rubber" game prom
ised to be hard fought and sensa-
tional, for both Coach Bill Alex
ander, of the Wrecks, and Bill
Ingram, of the Bears, have tndi-
Gated in practice that their
charges will throw caution to the
winds and go after touchdowns in
wholesale lots.
Switches Lineup
Ingram has switched his start
ing lineup to include his best
pitching and catching combina-
ton, Schaldach to Castro, and
Alexander has four men behind
the line who can pass and catch
'em. so he says.
The invaders, outweighed con-
Siderably by the hometown boys,
are depending on that good. old
Southern fight and surprises to &C
count for a victory, but the odds
slightly favor the Bears.
The current opinion is that In
gram has too many big men to
throw at the Wrecks; that Georgia
Tech may get by for a time, but
will fold up from sheer exhaustion

But something the fans
don't seem to. realize is that
Cliff Bolton has developed i'm
meaSurabIy since they last had
. look at him, having caught
something like "a games for
Chattanooga and also having
gone through the fire of the
Dixie series, wherein he
acquitted himself well.

So Washington has under
gone the face-lifting promised
for it at the major league meet
ingS and there will be new life
and new interest in the club
from the moment the boys hit
the rattlers for their Biloxi
training camp.
Goslin, Schultz and Manush
should be an outfield to be
mentioned only in the same
breath with Lewis. Speaker and
Hooper. The infield averages
young and fast and will do it's
share Of hitting. Whitehill,
Stewart, Weaver, Crowder and
Alphonse Thomas are five start
ing pitchers not to be ignored
and McAfee and Bud Thomas
are reliable Second-string men
with promising futures. Either
can hop in there in relief roles

A Get Together

Incidentally that dinner was
Joe's first public appearance
since he became the successor
to Walter Johnson, both of
them being present and each
having a splendid word to say
for the other. johnny Kerr,
the benedict, and Nick Altrock,
the raconteur, were also there
to see Joe make his sports-Social
debut, as was Ossie Bluege.
%Cronin had something inter.

seems to believe the Griffmen

Gene Augusterfer's passing was
notable.
Play was fast during the first

BY his master minding, Mr.
Griffith hasn't devised ways and
means of putting on a series OF
stage acts, or bi-centennial games
like that of last year, or added
features to attract the fans into
his baliwick, but he has given
not only the Washington public
but the entire baseball populace
in the American League, some
thing to see and talk about by
the addition of many new faces
to his clubs roster.
This in itself can be put down
as his contribution toward max.
ing the game a greater show in
1888 than it has been in the last
decade.
For Instance
For instance, there'll be count
less thousands who'll resign them
selves to the pleasant occupation
of yelling, Come On Goose" when
that great individual is at bat
in the pinch, even though these
same countless thousands may
not have liked the trade which
brought the performer back here.
Then there will be other in
stances where the excitement OF
the moment will direct us all out
to the park to see the new out
fielder, Fred Schultz, perform in
Sammy VESTS former place in
center field; Earl Whitehill take
the place of Fred Marperry on
the mound. and Wally Stewart
fill the niche left vacant by
Lefty Lloyd Brown.
All in all, 1888 conditions stack
up as unusually entertaining and
thanks largely to Griff the Wash
ington Ball Club will be one Of
the best entertainers in the
league. ....~s:.

FARM MARKET PLAN
DEVISED TO AID THE.
PIEDMONT DISTRICT
Piedmont Agricultural
Organization Outlines
System TO Improve
Farming.

At a recent meeting Of the Pied
mont Agricultural conference held at
Charlotte several days ago a plan was
introduced for the betterment of the
conditions of the farmers in this e c
ton of North Carolina and South Car
DINA. The plan deals primarily with
more economical crop production and
the working out of a better market
ing plan for the diversified farm.
County agents expressed their be-
lief that some plan of marketing
should be developed whereby the farm
ers could supply larger proportion
of local food products to the market
than is being done in the cities and
towns today. All present agreed that
this is the rightful market of the farm
er and that he should show some de-
termination to claim it.
Chairman John Paul Lucas stressed
the fact that the intelligent farmer is
going to live at home to the fullest
extent possible and will raise only those
crops that he can profitably market.
The following statement was issued
by MI. Lucas on behalf of the COM
mite at the close of the meeting:
II. More economical crop produc-
ton through soil improvement
through seed selection, and through
economical fertilization.
-. The working Out of a market
ing system through which livestock
products and other products of a di-
versified farm can be handled to thu
advantage of both the producer ane
the consumer"
