Jimmie McLarnin Faces Possible Rematch For Title
Vancouver Irishman Jimmie McLarnin, weighing champion in the welterweights, regained his title from Barner Ross after a slashing battle. A third bout is likely, possibly under Milk Fund auspices in New York City, with McLarnin favored to beat the Chicago Hebrew challenger as he nears his twenty-eighth birthday and slows from years of activity. Dan Morris of Rialto Theatre fame once promoted top light-middle clashes, while Alex Hooks backs Jimmie Foxx for the A's and a likely first-base shift if Foxx falters. The White Sox boast a legless mascot Sammy Cantor inspired by Al Simmons.
