Defending hampior Such sprinters as these have brought the Olympic 200-meter crown to the United States five out of six times. defend his championship this year, heading a crack American field that includes Paddock, Locke and Borah. By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 4—The Olym. pic 200-meter sprinting champion- ship has been out of Amer! hands only once in Olympic his- tory and there isn’t much if any likelihood that it will be taken away from Uncle Sam this sum mer at Amsterdam. For this parucular ieature of the international athletic program it would be difficult to figure how the U. 8. A, could be better forti fied than it is with Jackson Scholz, the defending champion; Charley Paddock, the world's re- cord-holder and runner-up for the title twice; Roland Locke, the fur- long recordholder; the intercollegiate flash, and oth- ers. Scholz, Paddock, Locke and Bo- rah all have turned 200 meters in better than 21 seconds, which is faster than the time recorded for any previous Olympic triumph at the distance., It will be worth traveling a few thousand miles to see if Scholz and Paddock have any such duel at Amsterdam as they did at Co- lombes in 1924. On the French track Jack broke the tape inches in front of the flying Californian in a desperate finish that saw Pad- dock collapse. These two veterans both have consuming ambitions, Scholz to win the race twice in a row, some- thing that has never been done, and Paddock to wipe out the jinx that has beset him in this event in two previous Olympiads. In b6th 1920 and 1924 Paddock was a favorite in the “200” but he was the victim of an upset on the soft Antwerp track, where Alan Wood- ring of Syracuse triumphed, and he was mosed out by Scholz at Paris. ‘Woodring’s victory was one of the big surprises of the 1920 Olympiad. He had failed to place in the final American trials and was considered . an outsider in spite of his rapid improvement after arriving in Antwerp. It ‘was an odd break the day " before the finals that played a big part in Woodring’s triumph, in the opinion of Lawson Robert- son, this year’s Olympic head coach. “Woodring needed new shoes,” Robby recalls. “He was baving ' trouble with-his footgear so I told ‘him' to take a day off and shop for some others. He came back an | Charley Borah, | spikes I ever saw. They were over an inch long, but on the seft Antwerp track they gave him just the right grip and helped him to win.” Bobby Kerr, the old Canadian ever shown his heels to American talent in the Olympic “200.” He did it at London in 1908 and shut |the Yankees out of the sprints al- together, for Walker, the South African, had conquered them in the “100.” Jimmy Rector and | Nate Sartmell, now Penn State’s coach, were among Kerr's victims, SMALL ATTENDANCE AT NEW YORK BOUT NEW YORK, May 5—Jok Nlick defeated Lope Tenorio last night before the smallest fight gathering of te season at Madison Square Garden. ———————— ELECTRCITY OFF NOTICE Electricity will be off on Front Street, Gastinean Avenue and all sections east of Gold Street from 3a m till 4 a m Diston Ave, Calhoun Ave, Gold Belt Ave., and down town district from Front to Fifth St., Franklin Street to Main, includ- ing court house hill from 4 a. m, to 6 a. m.
