(By Edward J. Neil, Associ- ated Press Sports Writer) (A, P. By Guardian’s Special Wire) MADISON SQUARE GARDEN BOWL, New York, Sepl..17—Jlmmy McLarnin, greatest Irish warrior of his day, climbed back on his welterweight throne tonight, battering back the savage giimeiiess pf little Barney R055, his one-time conqueror, in 15 fierce, controversial rounds, The Vancouver Celt came ‘back as he left the throne room three months ago-by isplit decision of two judges ind a referee--but he came biick amid o. storm of boos ‘of protest that flooded down on the ring like the rain that forced four postponements oi the battle over the past 11 iliiys. 1 _ Close Flgn it seemed to a majority. of the Jlilifrls around the ringside, and rerlriiuly to the scant crowd of about 25.000 sitting under a dark ind foreboding but raililess sky, ihit, iullc Barney, first man ever lo hold both the lightweight and welterweight titles, had at least earned a. draw in the dazzling duel ihnt shifted first in one direction. m-QHMMY- WELTERWEIGHT ems of THE Hi5 Mi LARNIN CRNHDIRN . some THE HliRi) EST iiriTEiG FOR HISN/Elt-lfl" IN TORY or nie v came.» N Ell ANN A N iiiiis SlRilNii- iioiiiiisoi cur New Arman came in under the wire last evening at Summerside to win the Strong-Morrison Cup with a. tie game, added to the pre- vious one all tie, and their 3-0 win last ‘Thursday. The game was a hectic scorelcs tie with bath teams battling at full speed to break the knot Siimmerside Sea. Gulls opened the game with a strong combination thrust but were beaten back by a stubborn blocking defense. The play was held to a midfield punting duel in which the New Annan team gradually forced the Sen Gul‘s back on their goal line. Grccm, the Spa Girls goalie, was called upon time after time to make sensational saves. In the last half the Sea Gulls op- ened strong but over-ran the ball in their eagerness to score , and clever blocking by the visitors gave the home team several close calls. There was four corner kicks in the last ten minutes of play. New An- non's double win of the A. E. Mc- Lean Cup and the Strong-Morris- on Cup is a. feat to be proud of, and credit must go to Bert Poole, for his clever coaching. Their strong printing and smart combina- tion playing when close in on the goal were features of all their games. LINE-UPS New Annan Wanderers: Goal, smith: Fiullbacks, Clarence March- bank, J.

(By Andrew Merkel, Canadian Press Writer) (C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) The challenger was handled sup- erbly today in a windward thresh to the outer mark 15 miles from the starting and finishing line and a run home down the wind. It was a nip and tuck contest. most of the way and much of the credit for the ‘vin goes to Skipper Sopwitli. He lead Vanderbilt by three boat lengths over the starting line, af- ter trouble with his running gear obliged him to douse his mainsall chair. This necessitated a post- But with the trouble cleared and he jibed to- less than three minutes bPfOre the gun and eased along the leeward side of the line. As was the caseysaturday, he was almost on top of the commit- tee boat with the starting signal and was required to pinch his rap later Rainbow came on the port tack to iir Wins First Race “Of Series MM 11v “iiYkToz/sz YWFOHUGHT MMEZMTTLE l ROUND BY ROUND Finish’ l7—-T. O. M. Sopwith made it one up for the Royal Yacht Squadronb; challenger, En- deavour, when he handily defeated the New York Yacht Club’s defender, Rainbow, skippered by Harold S. Vander- bilt, in the first completed race of the 1934 series for the America's Cup, sailed off Brenton’s Reef today. The challenger proved herself faster both on and off e day, a tumbled sea kicked up 1min by a 12 t0 15 knot breeze from the south-south east. Slie i tore across the finish line, like a grey-hound, with a bone listening in the sun, to a pan- demonium of screeching whistles led by Nourmahal, carry- ing the President of the United States. She was f0llowed'ti.vo minutes and nine seconds later by Rainbow also the recipient of an uproarious salute from the attending fleet of official, pleasure and excursion craft, three hours, 43 minutes, 44 seconds, was appronmately l9 lIllllili/JS short of the America's Cup record for .1 similar course, despite the fact both, boats surpassed the former mark for a lfi-mile windward leg. with a stiffer breeze blowing.

Both Boats Under Record For First Half Rainbow, with an elapsed time of 2:04:25 for the first half, ivhere she turned the mark with a Zl-sectiid advantage, bettered the fol 1' America's Cup record of 2: .40, set by the American yacht vigilant |in the third race of the 1893 series against Valkyrie II. Endeavour ivris also under this record. As the long blue prow of tli: British sloop came plunging i1‘!- umphantly through the liczvqv seas. an acclaiming chorus of shrieking whsitles. and sirens signzillizcd a highly exciting. zlramatic switch of Endeavour from the position of no favorite to a challenger which noiv has the advantage of scoring the first victory and the confidence that goes with it in a mighty bid to lift the “Old Mug" from Amcr- ican hands. There are still six races tn go. before the limit of the series is reached, and it takes four triumphs to capture the cup. Fourteen years ago Sir Thomas Liptons Shamrock -1'V won the first two contests of the best-three-out-of-five series, only to lose the next three in a row to the defender Resolute, It's early therefore to concede Sopwitb more than he is entitled to on the basis of today's shoiviug bilt Am- erican confidence has nevertheless given way now to apprehension and the betting odds have shifted iii favor 0t’ the challenger. Sloop for sloop, there was no question which Wm the better this afternoon.
