  • "Jimmy McLarnin enhanced his standing as the foremost contender for the welterweight crown last night at the Chicago Stadium, where he gave Sammy Mandell, ruler of the world's lightweights, a thorough beating, winning a decision at the end of 10 rounds of great fighting. Mandell, who gave McLarnin a lacing a year ago, found out last night that at 143 3/4 pounds that McLarnin was too tough for even his marvelous boxing ability. The Baby Face concentrated his attack on Mandell's body, administering a terrific hammering to Mandell's midsection." -Associated Press
