From out of Novato, Oal., jail last

brought a 8 to 8 victory for

It was Tony

judge said he must
spend five days in

the Portland pitchers took the mound
but none of them was able to stop
the Angel hitting spree.
San Francisco Seals went scoreless

Another extra Inning game brought
the Hollywood Stnrs a 6 to 5 win

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.

QUINCY, Mass. The same fist that
once battered the jaw of John L.
Sullivan pounded for emphasis on the
knees of old Jake Kilrain: "Ye may
have as good men today aa we had in
my time, but ye haven't any better
and ye can lay to that. 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. He'll tell you
with a chuckle that he's going strong
on his aeventy-fifth round with Fa
ther Time, but admits that the work
of a night watchman doesn't give a
feller much time to keep in training.
Still Keen at 76
Howover, tha warrior who went 10(1
rounds with Jem Smith for the chain
plontdiip of England, who whipped
George Godfrey in 44 rounds, who
fought 75 rounds, bare-knuckled, with
John L. Sullivan In what perhaps was
the all-time epic of pugilism this vet
eran, still keen-eyed and smiling, la
atil Hough.
"In fact," growled Jake "It'll prob
ably ba news to some people that I'm
alive at all. Alive? why, I'm still
makln my livin' by punchin even If
it's on a time-clock.
"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. The pay was only
$2 a day, but the Idolatry of the kids
mnde up for It.
Next he got the nlchtwatchman's

Tha hours are long, from 8 to 8. but
there are plenty of memories to keep

Jake, who In 1S.V.) was christened
John Joseph Killion, cocked one of
his cnuliflower enrs to a query.
"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. Ye've got good
men all right, clever men. and brave
ones too, even if they do fight with
gloves and to ten or fifteen rounds
nt most.
Trained on Meat
Tlghtin' is mostly a matter of
stvle. There's no way to tally up who
is'or wns the greatest fighter. Maybe
a clever boxer todny could lick a
longer-winded, harder-hit tin' toe-to-toe

Jem Smith for a $10,000 wager. Only

crecy on a swnmpy little Island, but
they paid $250 each for the privilege.
Tho fighters squared off in a 24-foot
ring on the turf and for two hours
nnrl 30 minutes they slugged and
wrestled under the London rules.
When, In the 106th round Smith went
down for the thirty-second time under
Kilraln's right, the fight was called
"o nnecount of dnrkness" and the ver
dict was a drnw! Some authorities
consider Kilrnin the winner of this
bout, and thnt he became champion

Then enme the Mnrquls of Qneens

In 18H0 he lost, In an nnpopular

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

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

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
