! Corbett's willingness to risk his
title against the most prominent
contender only 9s days after win
ming it, has earned the Fresno box
er large following here although
McLarnin still is the popular Los
/ Angeles idol Corbett defeated
Jackie Fields for the title in San
Francisco last Washingtons BIRTH
day.
! McLarnin has fought in claSsier
company for the most part but
Corbett'S record includes victories
over two former welter champions.
Both have beaten Fields. Jimmy by
a knockout and Corbett by a de-
ciSion.
They will fight with five and one
half ounce gloves. the first time
ritle has been settled with this
weight mitts.
Even McLarnin'S followers 40 not
eXaggerate his chances to win eX-
cept by a knockout. If he does, 1t
will be the first time Corbett ever
has taken the l0-second count, and
the champion has been throwing
out his cement chin at fighters for
seven years.
Although McLarnin has defeated
eight champions in classes from
featherweightS to welterweigtS dur
ing the last nine-years in non-title
bouts, he has never won a cham
pionship.
Corbett, q counter puncher by
instinct and training, is the anti
thesis of McLarnin, who likes TO
bore in and follow his advantage to
the end. The fight. 1t was expected,
will be decided by McLarnin's abil-
ity to nail Corbett with his right
on the way in, and get it across
before Corbett darts out his potent
left.
I'm confident I will win, and by
a knockout" said McLarnin. May |
be inside Of five rounds"
II am sure I will beat McLarnin |
in 10 rounds, and I might win by !
a knockout" echoed Corbett.
Only one issue remained to be |
settled, the matter of stepping !
back after the breaks. The two !
principals and George v. Blake, the !
referee, were to meet with the state |
athletic commission, which will ar
bitrate Corbett's demand that both |!
shall step back after a clean break |
and McLarnin'S inSistence that no !
back-stepping be ordered.
The fight will be an open-air at |
fair at Wrigley Field, where Promo
ter Jack Doyle has set up $4,000 !
seats in the infield. He hopes some |
10000 of these will be filled and if |
they are, the gate will exceed $780,

forts. McLarnin receives 2215 per

OLEA- AUSTIN
BATTLE SET

"Blackie" Olea and Alfred Aus
tin, having issued and accepted
challenge to swing leather at each
other, will head the card at the
Imperial Valley Athletic club Fri
day night.
1t will be the first meeting of the
boys, but they nearly met unoffi-
cially and without hope of finan-
cial profit several weeks ago when
they staged a discussion Of their
fighting ability at BraWley. The dis
cussion nearly led to blows, but
friends interYened and the knock
ing of conks and sWattig of chins
for no dinero failed to materialize.
Olea and Austin have been doing
plenty of talking for the past week
and the fans will give them an op-
portunity to make good on the talk
when they crawl into the ring Fri
day night.
Guy Mckinney and Art Weston
will put on the semi final, also an
eight-round bout. This bout was
booked for several weeks ago but
fell through. Mckinney has been a
San Diego favorite while Weston
has done most of his fighting
around Columbus, Ohio, his home
town.
The McKinney-Weston bout is ex-
pected to be a wild one and rates
a main event in any club, accord
ing TO Pete Buzukus, club match
maker.
There will be two other eight
round bouts on the card, making 81
rounds in all. The names of the
boys in the other two scraps Will
