I M'LARNIN DRILLS
TO MAKE WEIGHT
ANDSAVES10.000
No Rest Till Monday Noon-
Ross Ends Training And
Confident Of Victory'
Fans Excited.
By HERBERT W. BARKER
(Associated Press Snorts Writer)
NSW YORK, May 38. P) Mainly
to aave himself a fat check, Jimmy
McLarnln toiled on at hla Atlantic
City training camp today In prepara
tion for his welterweight title defense
against Barney Rose Monday night.
A little older, a trifle slower but
hitting Just as powerfully as ever,
the pleasant-faced Celt already nas
rounded Into perfect condition. But
$10,000 In forfeit money depends upon
hie ability to make 148 pounds, two
pounds under the welterweight limit,
at noon Monday In accordance with
a private agreement with Ross. That
means Jimmy will get no real rest
until after he has hopped on the
scales. Ross expects to scale around
137 pounds.
For Ross the training period Is over,
The speedy lightweight champion
from Chicago arrived in town last
night from hla camp at Ferndale. N.
Y., and Immediately Installed him
self and his entourage In a mid-town
hotel. He planned a brief drill in
gymnasium this afternoon. Just
enough work to keep him at razor
edge.
Meanwhile the temperature of John
P. Pan was rising rapidly. He hasnt
been so excited over the little fellows
since Benny Leonard's heydey. Madi
son square garden officials announc
ed the advance sale had crossed the
8100,000 mark and reiterated their be
lief full 70,000 would find their wav
into the Garden's Long Island bovl
ror tne rignt. With any sort of
break from the weather man, they
rigured the "gate" would pasa 8250,-000.
The betting odds remained at evon
money despite the belief of many
well-informed critics that McLarnln
would carry too much weight and
hits too hard for Ross.
But If the experts figure Rose oan
not concede so much weight and hope
to win, the lightweight champion him
self is confident.
I'm In the best condition of my
career," he said. "I haven't a sign of
excuse. McLarnln can't beat me."

DEFEAT STATE BY
2
CORVILLIS, Ore., May 38. (AP)
By the surprisingly slim margin of
two points the University of Oregon
track team defeated Oregon State
college, 68 to 84, here today.
The contest was not decided until
the next to the last event when Wag.
ner's great two-mile brought the
needed first place. The Beavera
fought back gamely and won . the
mile relay to put the finishing touch
to a close meet.
The Webfoots were doped to win
by a good margin but the Beavera
predominated the early eventa for a
sizeable lead 'A Each team captured
seven firsts while a three-way tie for
first resulted In the pole vault.
The one new meet record waa aet
by Bronson of Oregon State, who
won the 440 In 49 5, eclipsing the old
record set by Kirk of Oregon State
In 1033.
The other track record waa set by
Parke of Oregon, who whistled the
Javelin 303 feet 314 Inches to win the
event handily. The former record of
105 feet 1114 Inches waa set by Dixon
of Oregon.
Gugglsberg ot Oregon State clipped
off the mile in 4:30 while Wagner of
Oregon ran the two-mile In 0:9.4.
With only the two mile and the
relay remaining Oregon needed five
points to win. Wagner, former Helix
high atar, was fresh and circled the
track eight tlmea In a near record
performance. He was the only Oregon
man to finish the long grind.
Defeated but game to the last, the
Beavere won the mile relay when Cap,
tain Bob Bronson running anchor
man for Oregon state overtook Shoe,
make of Oregon to win the final lap
by two yards.
The Webfoot aprlnt star Shoemake
won both the 100 and the 300-yard
dashes, tying the Bell field mark of
33 flat In the latter event. He be
came the fifth sprinter to share the
record.
Only two places were awarded In
the hundred yard dash because Pyock
and Hopson were disqualified for
Jumping the gun twice. The elimina
tion of the one point tor third place
In the century made It possible for
the meet to end In a tie, which al
most happened.

DEAN BOYS SEEK
T
ST. LOOTS. May 36. (AP) The
brothera Dean, loquacious Dizzy and
silent Paul, are reported on the verge
of a strike for higher wagee.
Manager Prank Frlsch of the Bt.
Louis Cardinals refused today to take
the threatened strike of his two star
right-handers seriously.
But newspaper reports from Phila
delphia where the St. Louis National
league club began a series today said
only one fact haa kept the Deans
in the lineup. This Is that the of
fice of Sam Breadon, club president,
la considered the proper place for
fighting out the question of compromise.
Dizzy and Paul engaged in extend
ed negotiations with club officials
last March after Paul had been of
fered a contract calling for about I
83000 for his flrat year In the majora.
He held out for several weeks, but
eventually signed.
Now, It seems, Dizzy feels Paul
made a mistake, and that Dizzy him
self should be paid more than his
contract calls for.

With the coming of the Diamond

playing ability of the members of
the varloua kat-batl teams, the two
games Prlday evening reveal for
Campbell's cleaned Kidd's 15 to 4 and
Your Otflce Boys defeated the Active
club 6 to 1.
Campbell's Clothing outfit, com
posed of high school boys, played
just well enough to keep ahead of
the ahoemakera by about seven runs.
In the fifth Inning the Campbell's
pitcher walked the bases full and
then on an easy hit, made a bad
throw to first that allowed three
runs to come In but through the
support of his teammates succeeded
In holding them until the end ot'
the game.
Your Office Boys had quite a time
In defeating the Active club who
seem to have reinforced their lineup.
Both teams fought through the seven
Innings, never giving up until the
final out.
Monday evening Henderson's will
tangle with "The Toggery" and Jen-
nlng's will tangle with Lamporfa.
These games should prove very In
teresting because of the fact that
neither of the outfits have been de
feated more than once. Henderson's
have been defeated once, The Toggery
once and Lamport's once. Jennings
have not been defeated aa yet.
