Official. JOTE—This is one of a series of O ritten for the Associated Press y sports leaders, reviewing 1930 and discussing 1931 prospects.) BY DANIEL J. FERRIS, Becretary-Treasurer, Amateur Athletic \Vmun.. | By the Associated Press. EW YORK, January 13.— With the Olympic games| 1 of 1932 only a year and a half .away, America finds| herself in a better position today to defend her athletic prestige than ever before. On the whole, our track ana field athletes, swim- mers, wrestlers, boxers, gymnasts | and weight lifters who are point- ing toward the Olympics are of a higher caliber than in past pre- Olympic years. | The splendid performances of such comparative newcomers in track and fleld as Paul Jessup, Bert Belson, Lee Sentman, ne, James Demers, Harold Man- :Ik.\:, Joseph McCluskey, Charlie Engle, Vic Williams, Russell Chapman and George Bullwinkle and such sterling new performers in swimming and div- ing as Helene Madison, ~Catherine Ames, Bernice Phelan, Maiola Kalo, Al Schwartz and Bud Shields, none of whom was on the last Olympic team, indicate that they will all be outstand- ing candidates for the 1932 team. Practically the same condition prevalls | in the other sports. . All Breaks Bad For This Boxer HICAGO, January 13 (#).—The trials and tribulations of Pete Wistort, young Chicago heavy- weight, continue. About a year ago Wistort saved $9 from a stick-up by slamming the fellow on the jaw. But he fractured his right hand and was unable to pursue his trade for nine months. Last night in a bout with Andy Shanks of Grand Rapids, Mich., Pete launched a murderous right swing, missed, and fell on his face. The fall caused him to suffer a fracture of the right shoulder and Shanks was awarded a technical knock- out victory. HEENEY FINE PROOF TUNNEY HAD PUNGH {Heavy Who Will Meet Baer Friday Unsteady Since Beating by Gene. BY WILBUR WOOD. EW YORK, January 13.—There are those who contend that Gene Tunney could not punch. For their benefit is presented the case of Tom Heeney, who will meet Max Baer, the California heavyweight, in Madison Square Garden Friday night. Honest Tom's record after he was battered into a helpless hulk by Tunney in the Marine's farewell to fistiana, as compared to what the New Zealander did before that one-sided contest, is strong evidence that Tunney left his mark on the Man From Down Under. Games at Home Help. 1In sddition to having 8 finer string | of candidates for the next Olympic | games at Los Angeles, the American athletes will have an_ advantage they have not enjoyed in 38 years—and it is a real ld\‘tn'—igh‘ That ist,l:xo bewnbl to engage in Olympic competition out the handicap of change of food and water, change of climate and traveling from 3,000 to 6,000 miles en route to the gamés. Our opponents will better yealize the great handicap imposed upon our team in going abroad | uadrennially for these games after 31” experience it in 1932. ‘When we look back over the year 1930 and bemoan the fact that there has been a noticeable falling off of in- terest in track and field afhletics in some sections of the United States where the sport flourished a few years 8go, it is refreshing to note the con- tinuous improvement being shown in the performances of the high and prep school athletes, and it is pfir:lcul&rly‘ pleasing at this time in view of the approaching Olympics. The improvement has not been spotty. Rather it has been geperal, | applying to nearly every event on the | track and field program. This progress has been marked during the past 12 months. Many Schooiboy Stars. 1 think it can be said without fear of contradiction that a team comj d of the pick of scholboy athletes of this country could outscore the national teams of a majority of the foreign countries which send teams to the Olympic games. Many of these ydungsters who stood out prominently in schoolboy compe- tition the past year will be fighting for laces on the team when the Olympic g’!vuu roll around in the early Sum- mer of next year. Such schoolboy won- ders as Elwyn Dees, the giant shot- tter of the Lorraine (Kans.) High Ehml. who last Spring tossed the 12-pound shot 59 feet 3 inches, almost a foot beyond the then accepted world record; George Spitz of Flushing (N. Y.) High School, a consistent 6 foot 3 inch high jumper, who had a mark| of 6 feet 4!, inches last year; Ralph Metcalf of Tilden Technical High School of Chicago, & sprinter, who ran | 9 7-10 seconds for the hundred in the national A. A. U. championships last August and has a record of 21 4-10 seconds for 220 yards; Ivan Puqua of | Brazil (Ind.) High School, with a 49- second quarter mile to his credit; Ed ‘Wonsowicz of Frobel (Ind) High School, who vaulted 13 feet 4 inches last are a few of the crop of achool ho should continue to show improvement during the next 18 months. If they do, they are pretty certain to win berths on the 1932 Amer- {can Olympic squad. The plan of encouraging county ac- tivities In each of the district associa- | tions of the Amateur Athletic Union, which has been stressed in recent years by the national officers of the A. A. U, th the idea of furnishing athletic ac- vitles for the working boy who does not have the advantage of a high school | or college athletic training, is beginning | to take hold pretty generally all over the country and is expected to reach its height during the present year. As it develops, it is expected that it will prove another splendid source for Olympic material.

P eretotore Bill Wood and King Pin mztm had been entertaining at King No. 1, but since its acquisition by John Blick, who rechristened it Colum- bia, the girls have shifted ROBINS SIGN WRIGHT.

ST. LOUIS, January 13 (#).—The St. Louis Cardinals have announced that Outfielder George Puccinelli and Homer Peel had been released to the Houston club of the Texas League. In the year and a half before he boxed Tunney the New Zealander boxed draws with Paolino and Sharkey, out- pointed Delaney and Risko and knocked | out Maloney in one round. Those five men represented the best there was in heavyweight competition at that time. In July, 1928, Heeney artistically was cut to pieces by Tunney, the man who, supposedly, was no puncher. The ref- eree stopped the fight in the eleventh round. Not So Good Since Beating. What has Heeney done since that fight? In nine starts he has been stop- ped twice by Victorio Campolo; has lost decisions to Maloney, whom he previ- ously flattened, and to Otto Von Porat, Emmett Rocco and Frank Cawley; has won from Elzear Rioux on a foul and has outpointed George Hoffman and George Panka. Heeney, stubbornly refusing to hang up his gloves, will step into the Madi- son Square Garden ring Friday night to do battle with Max Baer. Baer, young and strong, should win, but he is entitled to some matches in which he may gain experience without being | too roughly handled. * Almost without exception, heavy- weight eards have been built up in sim- ilar fashion. Some of them acquired Teputations as killers by picking on much softer opposition. Dempsey did not disdain to topple over in his pre- championship knockout streak the weakest of opponents, including in one instance a head waiter, who never had on the gloves prior to facing the Man Mauler. Stribling boxed his own chauf- | teur. Baer Trifle Careless. If“Baer were a thinker, which ap- parently he is not, he could learn some- thing by studying the career of Heeney. He might see in the softened rock a picture of himself in a few years, if he does not forego his habit of sticking out his chin fn the belief that he can take any punch wrapped up in a leather glove. Even tiny drops of water, in time, will wear away stone. Baer has it in him to be a great fighter. It is all up to him. He can continue his harum-scarum way os lis- ten to the advice of wiser heads than his own. It is so infrequently that a young heavyweight of such ptomise comes along that it will be too bad if Max fritters away his opportunities. BOWLERS BATTLE AGAIN Jewish-Italian Feud to Be Resumed on Drives Tonight. That old Jewish-Italian bowling feud will flare anew tonight as the all-stars of both races clash on the Lucky Strike mapleways in the final block of their match. Due to Maxie Rosenberg's 661 set last week, the Jewish team is leading the Italians by six pins. Rosenberg,: whose great duckpinning in the intercity match with the Con- necticut quint did much to bring pres- tige to the National Pale Drys and Washington bowlers generally, again will roll anchor for the Jewish team, while the rest of the line-up will be chosen from Meyer Reiness, Sol Rosen- blatt, Hymie Schecter, Sam Bortnick, Abe Povich and Dave Legum. Ollie Pacini, Tony Santini, Joe Priccl, Joe Freschi, Niva onbrest, Louis Freschi, Johnny Nicro and Mike Vitale are on the Gino Simi-managed squad. The first five named probably will see action. l POINTERS ON GOLF BY SOL METZGER.

BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer, EW YORK, January 13.—The complex heavyweight situation | has reached the point where | the fighters are being asked to sign not for one bout but for three. The plight of young Bill Stribling, Macon, Ga., contender, might be taken as an example. Young Bill's | father-manager, “Pa” Stribling, was all | set to sign Bill to a title match with Max Schmeling in June. Now they're asking him to agree to two more bat- tles in the event that Strib relieves Sohmeling of the champlonship: They want Bill first to meet Primo Carnera in September, “the; being the Hearst milk fund officially and Bill Carey, president of Medison Square Garden, unofficially. Then they would | have Stribling agree to fight again in | 1932 against the best available opponent > milk fund alone. r the terms of this three-edged S stribling would pust $25,000 of his 12 per cent cut in the Schmel- ing-Stribling gate as a forieit for the match with Carnera. “Pa” Stribling took this offering un- der advisement, although it was plain he was not particularly pleased with it. Yesterday's conferences were between Stribling and Schmeling and Bill Dufly, American manager of Carnera. Bill Carey was not there for a New York of suspension, any promoter to negoti- ate with a suspended fighter. Carnera has been under suspension here since his unsatisfactory bout with Leon Chevalier in California last year, and Schmeling and his manager, Joe Jacobs, were placed under the ban last week when the commission vacated Der Maxie's crown because he failed to agree immediately to a title bout with Jack Sharkey. 'WILSON TO WRESTLE DRAKK IN HEADLINER Mat Show to Be Held Thursday Night. Doc_Wilson, young Tllinois wrestler, instead of Stanislaus Zbyszko, will tangle Thursday night with Tom Drakk in the weekly mat show at the Wash- ington Auditorium, it has been ane nounced by Promoter Joe Turner. the result of the change. Billy Bartush and Pat O'Shocker are down for the feature bout. It will be O'Shock>r’s debut as a headliner. John Maxos, fully recovered from his 20-minute “downfall by Bartush last week, will attempt a comeback against Tiny Roebuck, giant Indian grappler.

Joe Freschl, who was some shucks as a base ball pitcher last Summer, is | heaving duckpin balls just as effectively now, leading the Building Contractors’ League with a 110-14 average. His team, Standard Art Marble, is showing the way with a four-game lead over Fuller Stone Plant No. 1. One of his teammates, J. Morisi, is challenging Freschi’s supremacy. Morisi, coming along fast, has boosted his pace to 110-6. Scaginelli, .still another Standard Art Marble bowler, is third high in the league with 108-28.

OS ANGELES, January 13.—Led by big Ed Dudley, Wilmington, Del,, professional, a chosen hun- dred of the Winter golfing army today took the rainbow trail to Agua Caliente, seeking the $25,000 pot of gold which awaits tomorrow the winner of the world’s richest tournament. It was the smiling Dudley’s right to head the march, for yesterday he demonstrated a golden golfing touch by winning the Los Angeles $10,000 open and the attendant first prize money of $3,500. Coming almost out of nowhere yes- terday with a 68, dne under par, this former Georgian gambled with his ‘shots and won a champion’s place in the sixth | annual Los Angeles test by posting a score of 285 to lead the field by two strokes. Dudley had never won a major tournament. The interest had centered in a quar- tet of the old guard, Tommy Armour, P, & A. champion from Detroit; Leo | Diegel, Agua Caliente pro; Al Espinosa, | veteran campaigner from Chicago, and (his fellow townsman, Eddie Loos. Through 63 holes 1t had been a close contest, with this foursome always in the running. ‘Then big Ed came to the difficult six- t::nth,a He downed a 30-foot putt for a He made a champion's shot on the 3 | eighteenth which won the tournament, Behind a tree with his second,, he %o bravely pitched over to the Barranco isolated green. The ball dropped 16 feet from the pin. Dudley boldly putted for a par and got it with the one stroke. In the meantime the leading quartet blew up individually. Loos and Espinosa came in with 74s for a total of 287 and second place. They won $1,312.50 each. Next came Armour, who tied with Frank them $500 each. Diegel tied for sixth with Craig Wood, Bloomfield, N.

OW he used three different de- liveries to win the National Duckpin Sweepstakes was re- vealed today by Jack Whalen as he laughingly checked out the last of the $1,000 collected in that classic event. Jack has just moved into a new home and the big prize was most helpful. ‘Whalen rolled 621 in his first sweep- stakes set. Before starting it he ex- perimented, delivering the ball first in such manner that it traveled in a straight line. This was ineffective. Then he tried a slight bend to the left. This got better results, but was not satisfactory. So Jack made the sphere break to the right. Then came a flock of marks and Whalen stuck to this delivery. However, in the intermission he lost | the stuff on this ball and early in-the | second set found himself struggling. He switched to the straight ball, but it brought only a slight improvement. Jack was accurate enough, but the breaks did not come. He shot as unerringly to_get 568 pins as he did to gather 621. For the final five games Whalen em- ployed a ball that broke to the left and it turned out o be the best. He fin- | ished with a 627. That was a few pins rr;ure than enough to give him first place. HALEN is the first to “lay his money on the line” for the Camp- bell sweepstakes, in which Arville Versatile Delivery As Winning Factor in Stakes Revealed Ebersole, secretary of the Washington City Duckpin Association, expects to see at least 60 competing. If Ebersole isn't | OVEmflm.uflnfi the entry first prize in this event almost equal that of the | national 'stakes. Some of Harry Krauss' admirers are urging the former king of the duckpin game to enter the Campbell tourna- ment. Krauss gave up serious bowling years ago, but seems to have caught the fever again. In a workout at the Ren- dezvous the other night he averaged 126 for seven games, in the last three of which he knocked over 428 sticks. According to Harry's brother Lonnie, manager of the Columbia, the big fel- | low would be quite as formidable as | ever if he chose. A NEW candidate for the Campbell | sweepstakes crown is Day Boston, runner-up in the Columbia Yule- tide elimnation tournament. Boston was beaten in the final round by Jimmy Jolliffe, but he shot 1,838 for 15 games. That total would have won either of the last two Campbell events. Alleys for the tournament haven't been selected, but the games probably will be rolled at the Coliseum, Lucky Strike and Convention Hall. Prizes won in The Evening Star Yule- tide singles were presented last night at the Coliseum by Tournament Chair- man Ebersole. Several winners failed to show. Their money is in the Coliseum safe and they may obtain it at any time by applying to Manager Harry B.

ILLY EDWARDS appears to have displayed a lot of ambition, but poor judgment. Many a wrestler has imagined he was a fighter, but few of them have started to prove their theory on Jack Dempsey. I always believed that, in a five-foot ring, Dempsey still could lick any man in the game. Accounts state that Edwards tore off Dempsey's silk shirt. Not only is that annoying, but it reminds me of some- thing. At the Dempsey-Willard fight with Barney Oldfield and Frank Chance, | trying to get away from the broiling sun untll it was time for the big- bout. Barney Oldfield was much annoyed, their joy at seeing him, ted friends had that day ripped three silk shirts in succession off | Chance. It may be that part of Old- | field’s annoyance cam: from the fact that: they wera his shirts, and that he had pald $16 each for them.

BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. VER since William (the Duke | E of) Muldoon, as a young man in his early seventies, began an iron-handled rule of pugilism in New York, it has been customary to make the heavyweight fistic affairs as com- plicated as possible. The Schmeling - Sharkey ~Stribling fuss is mere kindergarten stuff com- pared to the robust days when Jack ' Dempsey did the fighting, Perfumery Jack Kearns did the gabbing and Tex Rickard did the matchmaking, Rickard pulled the strings then and the big bouts had a habit of coming off, properly ballyhooed, but even the ° Texan had his troubles’ with Muldoen and the other dukes of the State Athe letic Commission, Politics Played Part. For years the cudgels were wielded in behalf of Harry Wills, who had strong political backing in New York. Dempsey never “feared” Wills, as many supposed In fact the old Mauler would have pre- ferred to battle the giant Négro instead of the more cautious, elusive and trou~ blesome Mr. Tunney. Wills, in the opinion of many unprejudiced critics, never saw the day that he was the equal of either Tunney or Dempsey, . ‘The commission tried to bar big Jess Willard's ck, afterward ing an Hnnneounwnep Kanswas %0 from further ring activity in New York. The two Dempsey- fights were forced out of New York, to the greater profit of those involved. Tunney, although a home-town product, was treated somewhat shabbily mflw solons, although the Marine ally waged his last championship fight in New York. o Sharkey Now Coddled. For no particular reason, .since his * fistic _career has paralleled the decline and fall of the heavyweight class, Jack Sharkey has been coddled by the dukes of Muldoon, Farl:y and Phelan. Three years ago Sharkey bungled his chaiices ' of being the man to fight Tunney in the last legitimate world heavyweight match, Last year the sailor threw away his second opportunity to gain titl> recognition, at least. Meanwhile the courteous recognition of Schmeling as a champion has worn out its welcome, even so far as the three dukes are concern:d, but since the German was set up on tne pedestal, it now seems necessary for som: one to try to knock him off. By a rapid process * of elimination, young Will Stribling gets the nomination, Sharkey being too une reliable and Carnera too inflated. " However, no amount of proclamation will establish a real heavyweight cham- plon and successor to Tunney. It will ‘* take a convincing exhibition inside the - ropes by a fichter at least able to leave the premises under his own powsr. o TR REX BOWLERS SHINE - Ringer High With 387 as Leading. - Team Scores Clean Sweep.
