NEW YORK, Aug. 81 (AP) The

. Cbunky. pink-faced Jimmy McLar
nln.' the pride and Joy of the clan,
aettled the matter, quite convincing-
ly last night before a small and only
mildly aroused crowd at the Yanaoe
stadium. Jimmy whipped and uuter-
ed Petrolle so decisively, In ten
rounds, that It became quite monot'
QBous before the formality of raising
the glove bythe referee,
,.... Second Straight
Thls was IfcLarnln's second straight
triumph over Petrolle. It was by far
the more decisive of the two and al
together wiped out the stigma at
tached to the KcLarnln escutcheon
by the slugging Jimmy absorbed one
night at Madison Square Gardens last
winter. '
Before-receiving the unanimous de
cision, MoL-rnln did everything but
put Billy on the floor. Petrolle man
aged this himself, on one occasion in
the fifth round hen he fell flat
from the force of a wild swing that
completely missed Its target.
McLarnln loo Strong
' KcLarnln was too strong, fast and
clever for Petrolle. Jimmy had a 7
pound pull in the weights, scaling
1M to Billy' 188, and used it to good
advantage. :
tFetroUe'a best rounds were the
third and fifth. He held .McLarnln
van on point In these two, landing
effectively to the head and body. He
cut- Jimmy Hp In the fifth. Mo
Larnln carried the remaining eight
round by good Bleed margins. He
Was seldom In danger from Petrolte'3
crouohlng lunges, and gave the crowd
hi old somersault after the final
round, . . ;

About this aeason of the year
the perennial stories of the alleged
slaughtering or game oira
hunters" begin to make their ap
pearance, Always exaggerated, they
apply to but rnro and Isolated
coses. A thorough etudy of where
game birds go and by what enemy
they are killed proves interesting
to moat of us.
A conservative survey made ny
game protective organizations "
over the nation naa reveaiea tiiav
only about eight per cent of tne
game birds killed each year are
shot by hunters I This in itseii
proves alarming and starts one
wondering Just where they do dis
appear. -
Here tne answer as s ""
by the survey: Mloat pheasants ana
other of the birds are killed by
mowing machines, cnakea, cats,
hawks and enemies of this kind.
And of courss It Is difficult to
avoid most of them. Mowing ma
chines. 16 Is found, run over the
nests and mash the eggs or Injure
and kill the young birds. The
fanners make every effort to avoid
this-, even to mowing around next
when they have been, discovered. i
But nest are oarefully hidden and
are seldom seen until the damage
has been done.
Stray cats, nowevw,
done away with to a great extent.
The cat which are abandoned along
country road and must hunt tor
themselves are the ones that kin
most game birds.
And while on the subject ox caw,
law has been passed In Penn
sylvania which requires an cat
to wear bells. Btraye are anus j
state officers. Killing 01 oiras
greatly reduced, it Is found, al
though tha bells In no way Inter
fere with the cat as mousers. i nv
an extreme example,
Hawks, snakes, squirrels all reea
on young pheasants and quail and
are not adverse to esting a grown
bird providing they can catch one.
So it seems that the game asso-
ctatlons are stocking the fields with
birds and attempting to Increase
came while natural and unnatural
causes tend to keep the bird pop
ulation at a set figure.
If Mr. Malthue had a tneory on
game bird population. It was pron
ably about right.

By Hugh S. Fulerton, Jr.
(Associated Press Sport Writer)
Ed Brandt, who has been pitching
for , the Boston Braves for several
seasons without even threatening the
.600 mark In the averages, not only
has surpassed all his own hurling
marks this year but has made himself
one of the best southpaws In the Na
tional league. ; , . ,
Brandt turned In his 16th victory
of the year yesterday when the Braves
downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3 to
I, in the ten-lnnlng first game of a
double header. He has lost eight con
tests, giving him an average of .667,
which only BUI Walker of New York
ho beaten among the leagus's left
banders. A year ago Brandt could win
only four games out of 33. Now he
has more games In the "won" column
than any rival In the league.
Pirates win Nightcap.
The Pirates, came back strong
against Bill Shsrdel In the second
game and won 8 to 4 as Pie Traynor
drove in three runs.
What gaining was done In the Na
tional legue yesterday went to the
credit of the New York Giants. Some
timely hitting behind Carl Hubbell,
with Fred Leach's homer ss a climax,
gave New York a 3 to 1 victory over
Larry Benton and the Cincinnati
Reds. This triumph put the Giants a
full game ahead of the defeated Chi
cago Cubs and 8ft behind the league
leading St. Louis cardinals, who were
rained out In Philadelphia.
The Cubs could make no headway
against Watson Clark Of Brooklyn
untlt the ninth Inning and by that
time, Brooklyn had come through
with an eighth-Inning rally against
Charley Root that noted them tour
runs and a 4 to 1 victory.
Averll Hets Record
Heavy hitting again played the big
part In the American league program
and with It came the brokon record
that has become almost a dally oc
currence In the Junior circuit. '
Barl Averlll, Cleveland slugger,
crashed his 37th home run of the
year aa the Indians made It three
straight over Washington's second
place Senators by a 10 to 8 count. The
homer broke the Cleveland record set
last year by Bddle Morgan, who also
clouted a four bagger yesterday as
one of the 17 hits off Mulberry and
Fischer.
The defeat, the fourth In success-
Ion, left Washington only 3 games
ahead of the New York Yankees, who
used the home run route to 7-3 vic
tory over St. Louis. . ' - f
The Chloago White Sox won their
third game In 17 starts against the
