HISTORIC HORSERACE j
AT EPSOM DOWNS |
BE RUN OFF TODAY!
_
LONDON, May 31, —The Derby,
the world’s greatest hotserace,
will be run today at historic Ep
som Downs with Lord Woolaving
ton’s “Manitoba” and Lord Derby’s
“Hyperion” ready to go to the
post as favorites in a field of 24.
Although “Manitoba” was held
as first choice with odds of 6-1
and “Hyperion” offered at 21 to 2,
most British race-goers regarded
today’s classic as a wide-open race.
Part of this feeling was due to
last year’s outcome when “April
5th,” a rank outsider, won the
race and “Orwell,” the roaring hot
favorite, failed to place.
If Lord Derby has a winner to
day it will be the third Derby suc
cess for the House of Stanley. The
race /tself was named for the 12th
Earl of Derby who won it in 1787,
eight years after the inaugural.
Then came a long gap until the
present*Lord Derby won with
“Sansovini” in 1924.

IIMMl MC UN
KIHOED TOUNG CORBETT
TO IN II TfB CROWN
LOS ANGELES May 31 .-Jimmy
McLarnin of Vancouver, B. C., is
welterweight champion of the
world and never have California
fight fans witnessed such a display
of terrific punching power as that
which swept him into the title in
the first round of his match with
Young Corbett, defending champ
ion, at Wrigley Field, Monday.
For nearly two minutes of the
only round of the fight Corbett’s
left hand prashed and thundered
against vital portions of Me-Lar
in’s anatomy. Twice he staggered
under the weight of terrible wal
lops from that deadly southpaw. A
large red splotch of sensitive skin
under his right eye testified to
one left hand which found its
mark with stunning effect.
The feeling that McLarnmg was
a goner flowed thru the minds of
25,000 fans. He had landed only
one punch, with apparently no re
sult, against dozens which the rug
ged champion poured at him with
relentless fury. For barely a sec
ond Corbett let up on his attack.
It was a lull in his drive imper
ceptible to the audience.
But somehow McLarning found
in it the opportunity to whip over
a short left hand that traveled
less than a foot. It fell on Cor
bettTs jaw and he shuddered like
a boat stricken by the first blast
of a cyclone. A little punch, but
it won the welterweight cham
pionship of the world for McLar
nin.
MG URNIN OFFGAS I
RETURN ITCH TO
FALLEN HEM)
LOS ANGELES, May 31,—Jimmy
McLarnin, the devastating ring
general who won the welterweight
championship in one round Mon
day night, offered a return match
to his fallen adversary, Ex-Cham
pion “Young” Corbett of Fresno.
McLarnin and his manager,
“Pop” Foster, expressed a willing
ness to defend the newly captured
crown against both “Young” Cor
bett and Jackie Fields.
Corbett wrested the belt from
fields in San Francisco last Feb
bruary 22 and was making the first
defense of his title against Mc
Larnin when Jimmy’s left ham
mered him to the floor in igno
mious defeat two minutes and 37
seconds after the opening bell.
McLarnin said he only “wanted
Corbett to make one mistake. I
didn’t think he would make the
error so soon but he did and I was
ready. He let down his left for a
i fraction of a second and I let my
left go at his chin and followed
with a right that traveled less than
a foot. I knew he would go down
but what surprised me was that
he came up fighting. He’s a good,
game boy.”
Strictly a counter-puncher by
training and instinct, Corbett al
lowed himself to carry the fight
to McLarnin. Three times he land
ed easily on the challenger. He
set himself for a fourth smash
and there was an explosion. Only
it was Corbett who bit the dust
and McLarnin who set off the time
bomb that ended the shortest
reign ofja welterweight titlist in
ring history.
Capt. Heinie Berger, master and
owner of the MS Discoverer, is ex
pected to arrive in port today or
tomorrow to load 100 tons of Evan
Jones coal for Cordova.
