Lake Placid Townsfolk Game Sporismen : Blakeney Feared for Inconsistency TAXED $50 A HEA FOR OLYMPI CARD Must Have Best of Luck or Fare Worse—Cold Weather J Brings Joy. ' | BY WALTER TRUMBULL. | AKE PLACID, N. Y., January | 18.—This small town in its Adirondack setting appears to me to contain about the gamest community of sportsmen it is possible to find. With a bit of help from immediate neighbors, it has committed itself to a Wipter sports program, in connection| with the Olympics, which even| with the best of breaks in getting| back some of the money expended‘ will mean a tax of $50 per capita. And it has not had the best of breaks. What was largely required was the deep white snow and the thick, glittering ice. which regularly have been part of the Winter scenery for the last 30 yea totally unexpected stretch of sonable weather left the mounta green and the lakes pools of slush | But Lake Placid appears to be in for | s little better luck. Yesterday the tem- | rature dropped below freezing, and it as been hovering around the freezing mark today. There have been flurries of gnow, and the ice is again shimmer- ing on the lakes and ponds. The barometer is dropping a little, and the spirits of the inhabitants are rising in proportion. | The five Olympic events to be con- | tested here are figure skating, spee skating, hockey, skiing and bob-sied ding. The first three are not so much affected by the weather, because of t indoor rink in the great $250,000 arena which was dedicated last night three-day snowfall will put the 250 miles of ski trails in shape. d!cha.mpionshlp against the skill of 11 | Potomac Stakes To Be Renewed 'ORTHEAST TEMPLE will be the the third annual Po- weepstakes, to be staged site of | tomac S | Saturday, February 27, it was an- | nounced yesterday. | Prospects are bright for a record | entry in both singles and doubles.

Red Megaw won the singles last year with 652, leading Red Morgan and Ollle Pacini by close margins. Brad Mandley and Thurston Furr won the doubles with 1,279. Astor Clarke was the singles winner in 1930. No doubles was rolled that year The singles will start at 7:30 o'clock. with the doubles scheduled for 9:30. The entrance fee for the singles will be $6, while the doubles will cost $12, including games. CUE TITLE TUSSLE 10 START TONIGHT Thurnblad, Champion, Faces | Westhus in Three-Rail Tourney Match.

By the Associated Press EW YORK, January 18.-— Just when a young welterweight seems to be going somewhere they trot out Billy Petrolle and that’s the end of that. The Fargo veteran, perhaps the hardest puncher for his weight in mod- ern boxing, seems to have become the official “spoiler” of promising prospects. First there was Justo Suarez, the Argentine slugger. He piled up a string of impressive wins in this coun- try, but ran foul of Petrolle’s devastat- ing punching power in the ninth round of a 10-round bout here last Summer. Then Billy Townsend, the Vancouver Flash, seemed headed toward the heights until Petrolle parked him on | the floor for the full count in Madison Square Garden last month. Now it's Eddie Ran, the Polish star, who can hit and hit hard with either hand. Ran outpointed the highly- touted importation from Czechoslovakia, Pranta Nekolny, and knocked out Jim- my McNamara in a round in his last two starts, so they've matched him with Petrolle at the Garden this Friday night. Ages Like Wine. Billy has been around for a good many years, but he seems to improve challenging stars. | Thurnblad’s first opponent will be Bud Westhus of St. Louls, winner of | the Southern sectional champlonship The other match on the opening pro- with age.

Men Have Chance to Catch Oriole Ace in Campbell Stake. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. | O more feared bowler in| N Baltimore, since the Monu- mental City must have a finger in Washington'si prize pin plum, could be found to lead the Howell Campbell Sweep- | stakes than Ed Blakeney, who will | be one stick ahead of Johnny An- | derson when the final block is| rolled Saturday night at Conven- tion Hall. Not even Ray Barnes, Balti- more’s United States Sweepstakes champion, would be more unwel- | come at the top of the heap than Blakeney, an unbeatable bowler | when “hot,” to take the word of half a dozen pinmen who ex- | pressed opinions on the current big-cash classic. It is Blakeney’s inconsisiency that | has local pinmen, eyes glued on that $500 first prize, all hot and bothered. They feel they would have a much bet- ter chance to beat out the Oriole ace if he was more consistent and less bril- liant. As one of them remarked last Saturday following Blakeney's 687 set at the Rendezvous: “Ed’s & bad man to have on top. If he was more consist- ent we'd have a chance to ‘get hot’ ourselves and overtake him. Blake- ney’s either ‘hot’ or ‘cold.” If he's ‘hot’ there’s no use trying to catch him.” Although out in front, Blakeney al- ready has shown that brilllant incon- sistency for which he is noted. In the first block he rolled 580 and was twenty-first in the standing. Last Sat- urday he spilled nearly 100 more maples and jumped from No. 21 to No. 1. SHIKAT AND SZABO. AT ROW AGAIN ON Wrestlers Meet in Second Finish Bout of Winter Here Thursday. (WO of the cleverest wrestlers in the Londos-championed circuit, Richard Shikat of Germany and SBandor Szabo of Hungary, are to clash for the second time this Win- ter in a finish match, in Washington,’ Auditorium Thursday night. Shikat, who gets a promise of a Lon- dos match with every victory over Ray Steele et al, but never the actual match, will be given the usual promise before entering the ring with Szabo:+ But Szabo is nobody's set-up, and if the last match may be regarded a cri- terion of their respective abilities; Szabo is just as good, if not better ., than Shikat so far as technique is con- cerned. Szabo lost that match when'* he went flying through the ropes after missing Shikat with a fying tackle. The preliminary program promises the usual quota of action. A semi- final, featuring Herbie Freeman George Hagen, may give the main match a run for attractiveness, while several newcomers are expected to en-. liven the time limit bouts Alex Aberg, hairless “Siberian Wolf,” , will tackle George Calza in one of the 30-minute affairs.
