MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORP OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1934. McLarnin Regains Welter Xj:own by Close Decision Over Ross PAGE TWO SAVAGE PUNCHING FEATURES MEEIGJ PAIR Fans and Majority of Ex perts Disagree With Ref eree Fighters to Split 1125,000 On 40-25 Basis DETROIT GREETS ITS TIGER HERO By EDUABD J. NEIL (Aoclated Prefs SporU Writer.) KEW YORK. 6pt. 18, The fritatlc feud of Jimmy McLarnin' and Barney Ross, two of the finest fighters this generation will see. is closed for the season, and the two 4ng warriors today stand eiaetty where they started three months a?o, with the exception that neither ran see out of his left eye. McLarnin has his welterweight title back and Barney la still king of the lightweights, without a serious chal lenger in sight In his own claas. There the matter must rest until another aummer rolls around, when most cer tainly they must have It out for the third and deciding time. Gains Spilt Decision. McLarnin regained his champion ship In Madison Square Garden's big bowl on Long Island last night ex actly as he lost tt In May on i spin decision. The crowd of about 20,000 that braved a threatening night after 11 straight days of rain had forced four postponements, didn't think Ross had lost. Neither did a majority of the experts around the ringside. 10- of whom thought Barney had earned the decision after 16 savage rounds, while only three aided with the opinion of Referee Arthur Dovona. who gave the title back to McLarnin after two Judges had disagreed. It really seemed far closer than their first duel In May. when the ring rusty McLarnin, off in his time, his punching and his condition, fell a fairly easy prey to the beady-eyed kid' from Chicago that nothing less than a I .43 -caliber slug would be certain to stop. Bitter Eiiruuntrr. They fought entirely differently last night and the result was a bitter punching battle that seethed through the arena round after round, wi'.h flrat one. then the other, buckling under right-hand smashes that caved their knees but never floored either. MoLarnln, dead tired at the end, came closest to hitting the floor as he skid ded twice under Bnrney's attack in the lB.t round. Each time, though, he was more weary than hurt. They dealt each other terrific pun ishment, belting with an abandon that belled their reputations as two of tlie best scientists of the ring world. As early as the third round, their facet started taking on an entirely new appearance, and by the 15th you had to be an Intimate to recognise either. Mrl-nrnln In Early I.eod. It was McLarnlns fight through the early rounds as he boxed beau-: tU ully, weaving in and out, stabbing! Ross' head with left Jobs, hooking neatly to the head and ribs, ningtng his right with deadly accuracy into Barney's hend. Only for three min utes tn the second, with winging rights that had MrLarnln dlzr.y and bewildered, did Barney stem the tide. But through the seventh.

(Associated freta Photo) MAXIE TAMES BULLDOG TO DELIGHT MAT FANS PORTLAND. Ore.. Sept. 18. (AP) Max Baer, heavyweight boxing champion of the world, today prepared to moe toward Salem, Eugene and Marahficld for new public appearance and behind him In Portland he left a sadder and wiser grunt and groan artist by the name of Bull dog Jacknon. who used to be known as the bad man from Grand avenue. The "Bulldog" la witter because he . now known It's swell publicity to as sert before the battle that you're going to do things to the worlds champion and awfully foolish to try to do them. He's sadder for a num ber of reasons. Max came to Portland yesterday to referee a wrestling bout between Jackson and Poscual Castillo of Spain The first round was fairly peace ful. Castillo downed Jackson and they both got up without any seri ous Injury. The second round was much the same, with Max taking the bows and Jackson winning the fall. After that, the fireworks started. Jackson, out of sheer bravado, tapped Maxle lightly on the back of tlie neck. Maxle returned It with inter est. He hit Jackson twice on the, chin. Jnckson hit the canens. To make things worse, Pnscual grabbed his big opportunity and pinned the would-be ruffian while he was still groggy, winning the third fall and the match. Maxle went over to the radio mi crophone to say hello to his public Jackson reached for the timekeeper's hammer with murder In his eye. The timekeeper scrambled out of reach and Jackson stood In the middle of the ring. He beat his chest and called on Maxle to come out and do battle. Maxle did. First he grabbed the Bulldog In an unconventional manner and lifted him at arms' length over his head. Then he went around and around very rapidly. Jnckson hit bottom on the canvas. Maxle knelt on his chest, patted himself on the back and smiled at the 2000 cheering spectators. There was also some wrestling on the promom. Den Sherman. 160.

While the turnout was small, due to the fact that a good many of the students are working In the late fruit, the ones who did get into suits were large enough to give promise of formidable 1934 edition of the "Black Tornado." Practice started with pass ing and kicking. In last night's work. out, Ghelardl, BUI Bates, Bob Smith and Ray Lewis were doing the best passing with Hlnman outstanding on the receiving end. In the punting the linemen were easily shading the backs, with Kindred riTid Fowler get ting the most distance. Bill Bates and Bob Smith, for the fullbacks showed most promise, with all four having a bit of trouble with the new-size ball. Try Their Speed In the 25 and 60-yard sprints Dick erson and Glfford proved fastest tor the guards, while Fowler, Kindred and Owen Bates ahowM their heeli to the rest of the tackles. The vic tors In the end sprint were Hlnman Hicks and Ed Simmons, with Otto man, Smith and Ray Lewis closely grouped In the halfback division. Tiia fullbacks and quarters ran together. Severson and Kunzman taking trio honors. Ettenger and Stewart di vided honors In the center group ings, each winning two races. When asked what he thought the results of the new-shaped ball would be, Coach Darwin K.

Northwest States Told To Drop Jealousies and Unite for Common Good Oregon, Washington, Idaho Advised Tell World of Advantages in Growing Pacific Northwest Empire By H. C. HUi'TER. Parlllo Northwt Corropondent. WASHINGTON. Sept. 18. (AP) VUioning a rapidly growing empire In tht Pacific northwest. Senator Jme p. Pope, of Idaho, hope, to Bee the states of Washington. Idaho and Oregon united In an unselfish movement to "tell the world" about all of the advantages of that region. The senator, a firm believer In the future of that far western area, al ready has suggested an organization In a letter to Marshall N. Dana of Portland, pres ident of the Na tional Irrigation a sao elation. In which he urged that c 1 1 1 e a of the three atatea forget their "sel fish I n t e r e eta" and work for th3 common good.

CARDS SIGN FORMER SO. CALIFORNIA STAR CHICAGO. Sept. 18 (AP) The Chlcogo Cardinals of the National Professional foot bafl league, have signed Homer Griffith, former South ern California backfield star. Three players, Marvin Hansen, a quarter back, Chrltj Mat his. halfback, and George Purvis, lineman, were sold to the 6t. Louis club ot the American Association. so closely tied together that advance ment for one means advancement for all. He can see no reason, for ex ample, for Portland and Seattle. Be- j necessities and luxuries which would oe demanded by the Increased rural lng and other Industries, which, he said, are little known east of the Rocky mountains. He expressed the opinion that the tourist trade was a valuable asset to any region, but added "what our section needs Is per manent residents, with the resulting development of additional reclama tion projects. Increased industrial ac tivities and additional business." Industry Follows Population. As the population Increases, the senator pointed out. factories and business would be close behind "for large markets always attract business and Industry to the same region." Pope said that Increased agriculture In Idaho and the eastern parts of Washington and Oregon would mean a proportionate Increase In population In the Industrial and maritime cities of the coastal region "to supply the attle and Spokane. Spokane and Blse, Spokane and Portland, Tacoma ana Seattle being Jealous of development of eaeh other. "It has been proven time after time that individuals carmot live unto themselves alone," the senator said. "If this Is true of persons. It Is doubly true of cities and states. For that reason those three states, all of which have Ideal conditions for the development of irrigation, power, farming and room for hundreds of thousands of persons above their present population, should pull to gether. Increased population in east ern Oregon and Washington and throughout Idaho, cannot help but react favorably to the tidewater area of the coast. And Increased popula tion In the western areas means in creased development in the regions farther east." Organization Suggested. Pope suggested an organisation to be representative of the chambers of commerce, civic clubs, farm organiza tions and irrigation and reclamation associations of the three states to work for the good of all through ad vertising and publicity. He cited the fact that already there is a gradual movement to the Pacific northwest from the middle western drouth area and aald this movement would natu rally increase gradually throughout the coming years, but could be In creased rapidly through an organiza tion devoted to telling prospective settlers honestly. Impartially and ef fectively about the advantages of the three state. The senator had clippings from va rious newspapers In the three states telling of numerous families arriving by trucks with their household goods. Through an organization built for the benefit of the three states, he said. such movements would become the ordinary, rather than the unusual. While Pope said "the scenery of our territory is unsurpassed In this world" he visloned an organization that would stress the agricultural. Indus trial and bxislnens development of the area. He cited the Importance of mining, maritime commerce, lumber- population In the rich wheat, beet, and orchard regions east of the Cas cade mountains. The senator has made plans to make numerous speeches when he re turns to Idaho this fall and Intends to enlist the aid of the three states In perfecting such an organization as he has suggested. He said that with proper co-operation the population of the three states could be doubled within a period of but a few years.
