MLARN|N FADING,

Of years ago. At least, he
doesn't look it to me. sat in on one
of his training sessions, and he looked
q little slow with his hands.
Jimmy assures his friends that he
will have no trouble at all in making
the weight. He always has been under
the welterweight limit-well under it
in all his previous scraps, and there
is no reason to believe he won't be
pretty we'll under lat pounds for his
fight with Barney Ross next Tuesday
night.
OF course, these training bouts. as
Pop Foster, Jimmys manager, pointed
out, don't furnish much criterion on
how the fighter is going to perform in
the ring. McLarnin is a smart fighter
there never has been any doubt on
that score. The idea Of sparritg in
training is to sharpen the eye, tune up
the timing and get the general range
of his punches.

up. He has lived a fine, sensible life
and he Is comparatively young. But
no longer is he the "baby-faced'
youngster that moved down all the
fellows he fought. Strangely enough,
to me Jimmy looks, so far as his face
is concerned, more like a fighter than
he ever looked. He has a heavy
face now. In fact, he looks a bit
overweight. I'm used to seeing McLar-
min always at fighting trim, in train
ing or out.
Maybe the lad who has changed
from a baby face" to a lighting
face" will surprise those who think he
can't win. McLarnin certainly thinks
he will win, or he would not have
taken on the fight. He's not built
that way.

Carlin declined to name the local
training site he picked out for
Frankie's last preparatory drive. but
1t is believed he has made arrange

the larger country clubs in nearby
Maryland. Idle since January, when
he lost a hairline decision to Barney
Ross in Miami, Klick has been train
ing hard for this fight and intends to
continue until two days before the
battle.
This may sound funny" declared
Carlin, "but here's a guy-Klick-who
has lost twice to Canzoneri in the
past and who is, if anything, over
confident. frankie swears he will
stretch Tony out. I don't think so.
I'm sure he will take the decision. but
knocking Canzoneri out is a ire

it will be okay by me-
Kicks Weight Pleases.
DLICK weighed 1871, well over the
n lightweight limit, when he last
stepped on the scales before Car
lin left for Washington yesterday.
Although he can make 100 if he has
to defend his junior lightweight
championship" Carlin claimed, both
frankie and myself think 1877 or 1879
is his best fighting weight
HE weighed exactly 1872 last year
when he fought Barney Ross on the
Coast and got draw. And he was
at that figure again this year when he
put up another great scrap with Ross.
I'm tickled to death that frankie got
so heavy for this fight without any
trouble. So many people were saying
that he would have trouble weighing
over the 135-pound limit that I was
beginning to wonder myself"
Klick and Carlin are staying in New
York for the Ross Jimmy McLarnin
welterweight battle next Tuesday.
They are expected to report here some
time Wednesday.

FESS SEES VICTORY

Former G. O. P. National

MOODY, N. Y, August 8.-For-

Republican, expressed the belief to-
day that expenditures of the Roose-
welt administration would tend to
bring about Democratic victory in
1896.
IT don't see how the strongest Re-
publican without all that money next
year can beat the weakest Democrat
with nearly five billion dollars at his
disposal" said Fess, former Repub-
lican national chairman.
Sees G. o. P. Success in 1910.
He took the long view toward 1910
for Republican success.
IF former President Hoover will
continue his wise counsel to the
party as in the past" he said, "he
should be the strongest factor in
the country in 1870"
His own counsel to the party, he
said, was to rely on principles and
not candidates.
"The party must take a definite
stand upon principleS-we do not
want any one who is for the New
Deal or any part of it; we don't want
any one tinged with socialism; we
don't want any one who favors in
flation," he said.
1T is too early for the candidates
to speak out, anyway. Those who
have been trying to see how much of
the farmer vote or the soldier vote,
or any other vote they can muster by
announcements, now would find they
had victory of the bitterest sort, with
certain defeat to follow.
