Battered to the floor himselt the first time they met. and all but knocked out, Jimmy came back last night to measure Pet- rolle with one long succession of left hooks to the head and rights that smashed on Billy's chin and left him weak and wobbly, but could not bring him te floor, In the end, Mcrarnin had to be con- tent with the unamimous decision, but revenged for the heating he took last November. Petrolle waged a game, aggre». sive battle, the kind of a display that gave McLarnin so much trou- ble the last time, but last night he wag rarely able to get past the short jarring left hooks that Jim- my exploded constantly to « his face. McLarnin retreated from the first bell, pumping leather into Billy's face as He went, making openings, with his left hand for rights that landed time and again flush on Petrolle's jaw. ' Petrolle Rallies Well . . Mn the later rounds, as Billy tired, it seemed he must go down but, just when that one more solid juneh would finish the strug~le. etrolle always managed to find | new strength. Once in the seve 1h, and again as the timer was aout to bang the final gong. Billy ral- lied and shot over rights to the chin that almost brought McLar- nin to his knees. In the tenth, al- most the final heavy punch of the match, Billy erossed his right to McLarnin's head and the Irish- man's knees buckled. It was too late, however, and McLarnin was still tiring his short lefts into Pe- trolle's swollen, bruised face, as the final bell sounded. Fans Boo Decision, There was scarcely a elinch through the ten rounds of savage ing and the crowd of 18,000. once the preliminaries of the first round were over, ¢heered every second of the contest. There was announced and the crowd, largest of the indoor season, seemed to think Petrolle, through his ag- gre 'and courage alone, had earned 14 die.
