McLarnin Is Easy Victor Over Petrolle By ALAN GOULD (Associated Press Sporta Writer) NEW YORK, Aug. 21. CP) The dan of McLarnin can rest easy today o far as the threat of battle-scarred little Billy Petrolle, the one-time far go express, is concerned. Chunky, plnk-eyer Jimmy Mc Larnin, the pride and joy of the clan, settled the matter quite convincingly last night before a small and only mildly aroused crowd at the Yankee stadium. Jimmy whipped and battered Petrolle so decisively, In ten rounds, that it became quite monotonous be fore the formality of raising the glove hv the referee. This was McLarnln's second straight triumph over Petrolle. It was By far the more decisive of the two and altogether wiped out the stigma at tached to the McLarnin eacutcheon by the slugging Jimmy absorbed one night at Madison Square Garden last winter. Rnfnra reeelvinr the nnstmous de cision, McLarnin did everything but put Billy on the floor, retroue man aged this himself, on one occasion in the fifth round when ha fell flat from tha force of a wild swing that com pletely missed Its target. Mfjirnln was much too strong, fast and clever for Petrolle. Jimmy had a even-pound pull in the weights, scaling 148 to Billy's 189, and used it to good advantage. LOS ANGELES.

The same fist that once battered the jaw of John L.

Fightin's dif ferent now, and it's hard to make comparisons. But I'd feel sorry for the Schraeilng, or tha Sharkey, or yes, even the Dempsey thnt wns put in the ring for a battle of the nine teenth century." Jake was a little breathless with the heat of his words.

"We're poor, Ma and me, but we're hsppy. I wouldn't trade my memories for all tha money that your lily-fingered champions have detired on." The Kilrnins live In a homey, neat little two-famity house on River street In Quincy. They have been there 16 years, ever aince Jake had to qnit the ten-a-day vaudeville act to which he had declined after his triumphal four-year tour with John L. himself. For awhile, Jake wns able to tench boxing to classes at Harvard and the Institute of Technology. Too old for that, he htjeame caretaker of a Boston plnyground.

"Who's the best boxer now. ye ask? Don't worry an old man with such a question. I don't know. I don't get to matches any more, except some times at the shipyards.

OP) The most promising tennis players in England and the United States, Frederick J. Perry and Ellsworth Vines yesterday gained thtf final round of Newport Casino tournament by upsetting members of American Davis cup forces. Perry, clashing with Sidney Wood of New York for the third time this season, wore that blond stylist down to such an extent that he suffered a severe cramp in his left leg just when the Briton had match point in the twelfth game of the fifth set. Perry hod a 40-30 lead against serv ice when Wood's leg folded under him. Sidney was given first aid, but It failed to help matters. Ha wanted to piny out (he match, but officials defaulted him. Perry's scores for the completed sets were 8-8, 5-7, 2-6. 6-1. Vines also was rnrried to five sets before eliminating stubborn Johnny Van Ryn, 6-3, 7-0, 8-6, 6-2, and 6-1.

LAST TWO DAYS lllgp HEILIGXgg I COLONIAL TONIGHT ONLY Last Two Plcturea of Old Favorite Week TOMORROW HAROLD LLOYD is By ROY CRAFT Thursday was moving day at the University of Oregon. All the Asso ciated Students departments are now tinder one rool ol McArthnr court. Hugh Kosson and his assistant. Doc Hobnett, have mov ed into spacious, although not pre- taC$r'!. tentious quarters .tePSi in the enst end o( the court. This writer, along with all the other campus, sports correspond ents, has moved his bag, baggage, and typewriter from the school of Virgil Earl journalism to an office at McArthur court, adjoining Prink Callison's and Bill Hawyard's. Bill lteinhart, Tom Stoddard, assistant graduate man ager, Doc Spears, Miss Hundlett, the secretary, and Sammy Wilderman, the publicity man, all have their offices adjoining ours. It is a good omen. It is a forerunner of more uews about the Oregon athletic teams. Not only the Asociated Stu dents and coaches' offices are now In one building, but also the offices of the Emerald and Ore gana editors and business man agers, as well as that of tha president of the student body and all the other student officials, Mc Arthur oourt, usually a lonely place in the summer time, was humming with activity, while the typewriters clicked many tunes about the coming football season. The mail man, loaded with soma 12,000 or 15,000 applications for football tickets, had a busy day. We missed Virgil Earl, for the Inst seven or eight years director of ath letics, whose office is now occupied by Wilderman. Earl has been promot ed to dean of men, but as before, his many problems are with the men on the campus. The publicity department resembles an art studio more than it does a sports news bureau. Sammy Wilder mnn is an unusual publicity man and the unusual, of course, can be expect ed. Unlike any other conference pub licity man, Sammy has bis own artist in his own office arranging the little pictures, which, when flapped together and properly captioned, make the pic tures one sees in the daily papers. Sammy, we ara told, It fussy. ' He doesn't send his art work away, as do the other publicity men. Ha has It tinder his thumb, where he oan direct the work. Ha doesn't give the artist much op portunity to use his Ingenuity. Sammy arranges the art work ihlmself and tells the artist to put on the finishing touches. This is August, and the first game is about six weeks away. Yet Sammy and his assistants already are getting their publicity out for the coming football campaign. The mats, which are transposed into the fine pictures you see in the newspapers, are put into thousands of envelopes, all prop erly arranged, with the dates each ia to be mailed. They are not only for the home coming game with Oregon State at Eugene, but also for the North Da kota game at Grand Forks, the New York university game at New York, the St. Mary's game at San Francisco, the two contests with U. C. L. A. and U. S. C. nt Los Angeles, the Idaho mill at Portland, and last, but not the least, the Washington game at Seat tle. The state of Oregon will re ceive thousands of dollars' worth of free publicity from the Oregon team this year. Readers at North Dakota, at New York, at Cali fornia, at Washington and way points will know all about Oregon this year because they are all going to get loads-full of publicity on the Oregon team. It Is the kind of publicity that oosts little to the school ,but means much to the state. It Is free publicity, and yet desirable, because It Is NEWS. It must be NEWS or the papers wouldn't publish It, and Sammv will sea to It that It Is NEWS These publicity lads are men of mystery. Nobody seems to know what they do. You see them about town at almost any hour of the day. But the papers are full of their stuff, for at the wee hours of the morning, when most people are dozing away prepar ing for nnother day of toil, these boys ore pounding their typewriters. Their success is judged by their friends. Those friends are the product of years of ecqtiatnfnnceship. One can not le a successful press agent unless he has a host of friends. If you see columns upon columns of Oregon stuff in the Portland papers, it is because Sammy hns many friends George Aril In his best "OLD ENGLISH" Hailed as the perfect talking drama with Arils at his best NOTE: "Old English" will play In place of "Disraeli" originally scheduled, due to change In booking. "FEET FIRST' In Win Over Reds IMBER J - HI W IS I there. The same goes for the San Francisco papers, the Los Angeles papers, the Seattle papers, even the Kugene paper. But a publicity man's success also depends on other things: A sympathetic and appreciative graduate manager, a staff of great coaches in whom the press has confidence, and a colorful team. Spears is a nationally known coach and has all kinds of color. The big doctor isn't hard to "sell.'1 In fact, he already has sold himself to all the newspa naman nn tha nitr Their at tempt to pry him loose from Ore gon to bring him to California, is an example. c, -i.:i:,. tin tn Sn mmv TO get the cash customers through the gate, and these anrewn grammie man agers don't gamble on their publicity n'l tl.nm Knnimv's RtlC- Ilieil.' J.ue,v iw" i..... - cess naturally reflects on the success of his graduate manager, ami in versely, Sammy s iiuiure wuuiu in flect on Hossoh's ability to choose his assistants. As for the color in a team, often it to H,o nnhli.-itv mini that irives it color. A colorful name, such as "the Flying Dutchman, while not a Drum cuuu of Wilderman's, nevertheless caught his fancy, and he made most of it. Sammy was the originator of the name, "Quarter-Ton Tackles," and ;t is that catchy phrase, as well as their own ability, that won the all-coast honors for Christensen and Colbert in Speaking of friends, It was a dlstince honor to Huge Rosson, and Dos Spears and Sammy Wil derman that three nationally famed football writers, namely, Russ Nowland of the Associated Press, Harry Bora of the San Francisco News, and Bill Leiser of the San Francisco Examiner, paid them a visit, all In one week, each spending several hours on the campus. Newspapermen don't go out of tholr way, as a rule, for strangers or even acquaintances. A publicity man must keep his eyes and ears open. The Oregbn-St. Mary's football games are a direct result of a BmaU item appearing in the San Francisco papers several years ago, in which Slip Madigan, coach of the Galloping Gaels, expressed a desire for a Thanksgiving day game at San Francisco. Jack Benefiel, then grad uate manager, wns out of the city, but Sammy did not waste time await ing his return. He wired Madigan that Oregon had Thanksgiving day open. Slip and Jack did the rest. The freshman-rook game here last fall was another of these contests in which Sammy dabbled. It was one of Snmmy's dreams to build a great freshman game at Portland, which was to be played there annually on Armistice day. That was to be the second and added game between the teams. It was played in Portland three yeara ago, but the high schools there protested so strenuously to giving up Armistice day that Benefiel and Lodcll, graduate manager of Oregon State, decided to move the game to the campuses. The contest, although a second one, from the start became a thriller. Last year it drew 5000. This year It will he played at Corvallis, but Eugene also will have its freshman-rook game, the one that has al ways been scheduled, since the teams began playing Decks alive with fierce drama . . . roaring . . . with Unbridled sweep of the Sea LAST TIMES TONIGHT 25 Starts Sunday (TiDead 500 years l -Jwii'e lived by night on the I blood of the living 1 p51i i V Preview .( 'Afigtist 21, 1931.
