The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-05-29


the end of fifteen rounds of savage fighting with Jimmy
McLarnn the transplanted citizen of Vancouver British
Columbia.
When Jack Dempsey, former worlds heavyweight
champion stayed in the ring to referee the title pSut as
your Democrat of this evening said he would, the
,rumbles became growls and had no trouble waiting
themselves right up to the press coop where we boys
peeked at the fight through some of the most sturdy
chicken wire that nailed to wood. 1t Pop
Foster the venerable guardian of great little bater,
had some of that chicken wire around him for
while he might have kept in his place, which was
McLarnin's corner but he all over the ring like

And another thing McLarnin, with one exception has
had five to eight pound pull in the weights against
opponents for prior to his three bout series with
Ross which began little than year ago. McLarnln
was betting the boys with alarming regularity until
little Bernard Rosofsky along from the Windy City,
Foster pulled a Joe Jacobs after the fight last
night though the verdict of both judges and Dempsey
was unanimous, except that he said, 1T was highway
robbery without violence, while cgar-Jugglng Joe
merely shrieked few thousand times directly after the

Fosters wall was aimed at Dempsey whose hand ne
shook before the fight after protesting him from the
ring to General Phean chairman of the boxing com
mission, with Phelan ordering Dempsey to stay in the
| ring and work the title bout.
In contrast would like to call your attention to NC
Larnin the losers version of Dempsey: Best referee
ever had in the ring" all James said, and that
it up perfectly for Dempsey did nice job though the
fighters made easy for him. while his scoring conceded
with the judges in the major details.
Oddly enough the situation at Long Island the
verdict not popular with the fans who gave NC
arnin great hand going out of the ring though Ross
got the cheers coming in. That's what is called crowd
in for the deep stuff regarding gongs inside ones

Reports McLarnins poor condition and suggishness
training about accurate 1918 telephone book
James superb shape and out quite body beat
ing though unable to get Ross until the third round
He closed fast too taking the fifteenth and final heat
If it's any to you, my scoreof the bout, using
the Connecticut system of points, showed II for Ross
and 60 for McLarnin with Ross getting rounds,
McLarnin four and four AS toe to toe suggest,
it of the finest the welterweight records.
