A flurry in local athletic circles anticipates the Olympic encounters with plenty of time. left over for careful development of raw material discovered in various institutions.

Y., April 20 P—Cold and rainy weather has somewhat hampered Syracuse University's spring athletics, but students and coaches are tar from discouraged. Outdoor training in any branch of sport has been almost impossible this season and Byracuse does not have a covered training ground. Beveral times Tom Keane, veteran | track coach, has had his men prance around the oval encircling the grid- iron but no one has had in oppor- tunity to try a high jump or a pole vault.

Professional fighting, as such, hasn't met with any great success in recent years. This, however, will be changed, it is thought, when the new-talent bouts with the favorites of the former amateur classes, are introduced. Ed Hurley has brought the game into popular favor in Hartford where weekly he promotes cards at the JFoot Guard hall. Almost every night his seating accommodations are filled to capacity and on several occasions mzny would-he patrors have been turned away for lack of space. The same conditions could be de- veloped here with the right kind of entertainnient, Graduating into the pro ranks, the erstwhile amateurs are the same fighters and they de- velop just as quickly.

GERMAN MENTORS LIMIT TRAINING No Special Courses to Be Estab- lished for Olympic Entrants Nuremberg, April 20 (P —Profit- ing by the experience of the Am- sterdam Olympic games, the Qer- man athletic federation has decided not to establish special training courses for Olympic condidates for the Los Angeles games in 1932, With characteristic German thor- oughness, the athletic federation be- fore the Amsterdam events had se- gregated all likely candidates and put them through a special course of training. The result was that many of the men and women were over-trained and “rtale” while some of the victorious Canadian and English athletes boasted of the fact that they were brought in form by merely adhering to an ordinary sys- tem of training. Tt will he left to each German athletic club to candidates as they see fit. MALONEY PUTS TECHNICAL KAYO OVER ON O'KELLY n Removes All Doubt individual train its Boston Irishm: As 10 Which is the Better Man in Ring New York, April 20 (®—There really should be no doubt now that Jimmy Maloncy of Boston is a much better man in the ring than that other Irishman, Con O'Kelly, late of County Cork. Maloney, riding high in the crest of & comeback campaign he hopes will place him back in the runniug for the heavywdight title, stopped O'Kelly in the third round of a ten. round match in Jess McMahon's new Coliseumn here last night. Tt was their third meeting. O'Kelly held Maloney to a draw in their first clash Madison Square Garden: dropped a decision to the Bostonian at Boston, and now suffers the ignominy of a technical knockout. The 0 fans who thought they right see some fun didn't get much for their money. Maloney took the first rcund without dispute, He was leading in the second until he land- ed a blow into foul territory. More in anger than pain, O'Kelly staged a fierce raully that gained him the round. The third went only 52 seconds before a bad gash over Con's lett eye bled so profusely that the referec stepped in and called a halt. The -veights were Maloney 216, O'Kelly 19 BASES LOADED, HIT.

JINX STILL DOGS TOMMY THEVENOW Philly Star in Florida Hospital With a Shattered Jaw 8t.

Thevenow. now with the Philadel- phia Nationals. is in a Florida hos- | pital with a shattered jaw. the re- sult of an automobile accident. After his sensational fielding and timely hitting in the first world's series betw the St. Louis Card- |inals and New York Yankees. Tom. {my seemed to be set for a great career on the diamond. In 1926 he was one of the main reasons why the Yanks were humbled. Madison, Ind., gave him a hero's welcome. Then the jinx fell in step behind him. Early in the 1927 sea- son he broke his ankle and was out. Last year he hadn’t regained his form and he warmed the bench most of the year. The Phillies ob- tained him during the winter lull, and at the Winter Haven training camp he showed his 1926 form. The jinx caught up with him on a Ilorida highway.
