SPEAKING OF SP®RT BY FRANK GETTY

McAuliffe's Lament Jack McAuliffe, who retired undefeated as light heavyweight champion of the world many years ago still takes an active interest in the fistic scene, although he is somewhat disgusted at the turn events have taken of late. In Jack's day, tiiey fought with bare fists for 100 rounds or so and then rested ton minutes before resuming The present crop of heavyweight contenders is a particularly distressing sight in the eyes of the old champion, who laments in particular the lost prestige of his race in the ring. In a .ecent letter, McAuliffe voiced his so. row over the situation as follows: Dear Sir: When will my countrymen learn to be sensible and stop sending over here their half baked and fifth rate boxers disgracing the name of Don Donnells who fought and beat Copper the English champion in the Curragh of Kildare over 100 years ago? He would turn over in his grave now if he even saw the names of the boxers now billed as fighters. In the days of the great Irish champion the only fighters were Americans English and Irishmen. It would make him weep to see a Lithuanian whip Jimmy Malone yof Boston who Is supposed to be an Irishman. This terrible state of affairs all is due to the padded posts, the silk plush

A"pr. 27. —fU.RI - Otf to a running start with a worlds record cracked, the second day of the twentieth annual relays dawned clear today with additional new records in sight. Carl Jark. of the Army, who yesterday broke the world's record ofr 158*1 inches in the discus throw when he heaved the platter 15S feet 3 inches, was installed today as the favorite in his special event. Jark, who hopes to enter the air service when he finishes at West Point, had considerable opposition in the finals, and unless he continues to show good form today, the event may go to one of the otherfive finalists. Claude Bradey, of Rice Institute, and Jack Elder, of Notre Dame, two of the country's best sprinters, ran true to form yesterday and with an even faster track in prospect today, are likely bets to equal or better the world's mark in the 100 yard dash. Bracey broke the tape yesterday in 9.7 seconds, running easily, while Tolan. dusky speedster from Michigan, pressed Elder home in 9.9 seconds. Both running in the same race today, however, either the sothern star or Elder may crowd the other across the line for a new mark. The possibility of lowa's mile-relay team winning the event for the third consecutive time seemed rather remote in view of yesterday’s prelim inary heats, in which the crack Missouri university qifertet of quartermilers showed the way in the good time of 3:20.1. Kansas and Michigan ranked with Misouri as favorites. Illinois is expected to come up strong in the relay events, particularly in the four-mile affair, which has become something of a speciality with Gill-coached teams. Illinois also show ed well in qualifying for the 440-yat'd and 880-yard relays. No qualifying rounds are held in the two mile, the spring medley, and the four-mile events. o Canzoneri Wins Fight New York, Apr. 27.—(U.R)-Tony Canzoneri, former featherweight champion, easily defeated Sammy Dorfman of New York in a 10-round bout in Madison Square Garden last night. Canzoneri won every round and nad Dorfman on the floor twice in the first round, once for a count of nine and once for a count of six. the bell ending the round at that point. Canzoneri weighed 130.

ropes and the cushioned floors that are so soft the fighteis want to fall on them. Let's cut out all the softness and go back to the old days of bare fists, London prize ring rules and see them where you champions, mill come front. Nowadays any foreigner with long arms, a harry chest and a union haircut can come here and in a few bouts clean up and go back with half a million dollars, the way the game is conducted now’. The Irishmen who at e coming over now, like Con O'Kelly, should be stopped at the twelve mile limit. Peter Maher was the best man Ireland has sent over and only for his ingrained conceit would probably have done far better in this country and might have had his name on the Mui-doon-Tunney trophy. The real pure fighting man will not appear again until we have finished flghfS again, with bare fists and winner lake all. Yours Jack McAuliffe. The prize ring today is somewhat different ftom in McAuliffes heyday but there is considerable truth in what he says, for the present time to permit us enjoying the spectacle of one of his finish fights, with bare fists, winner take all but more of that spirit could be introduced in the ring it would help somewhat.

Italian Race Driver In Indianapolis Meet 1 • Indianapolis, Apr. 27.—Tony Gulotta. Italian youth of 26 who is a member of Leon Duray's three car team which Is entered in the International 500mile race to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30, saw victory knocked from his outstretched ( hand seventeen laps from the* finish last year. But all his hick during the year wasn’t bad. He raced the stock market out of a comfortable fortune and gained ten pounds In weight. Gulotta lias arrived hero to make preparations for the three chr Duray team which will be housed in spacious quarters in the new garage section in speedway's famous gasoline alley. With his talking machine pouring out tinkling melodies, he Is building benches, tire racks and otherwise tidying up his garage, which always is one of the neatest at the track each year. Gulotta, who is one of the many pilots at the speedway who work on their cars to the tempo of jazz tunes or sentimental, crooning ballads, came to Indianapolis seven year ago as the boy mechanic for the boy champion. Harlan Fengler. Today Gulotta is regarded as one of the best of the younger drivers while Fengler, still a youth has retired" Gulotta was chosen two years ago by Frank Ixckhart as a teammate. Last May driving one of the Lockhart cars he rode into front position on the one hundred and forty eighth lap and remained in the lead until the race was wanning when a cracked gasoline tank halted his victorious march and tossed him out of the race. The irony of Gulotta’s plight was the fact that the gas tank had been broken by a relief driver who smacked a retaining wall while Gulotta was taking a short rest on the advice of his pit managers. Gulotta will be driving a rear wheel car in this year's contest while the two other cars in Duray's Packard Cable special outfit will be front wheel ers. Tony has remained true to the rear wheel drive cars, pinning all of his conventional type drive. His greatest thrill on the track, he says, came, not during a race but during a 30.000 mile record stock car run made by Studebaker on the Atlantic City board speedway. Gulotta was taking his trick at the wheel in the early morning hours during a blinding rainstorm. There was a car in front of him. The car spun around, facing the wrong way of the track. Gulotta did many fancy didos with his car in an attempt to miss the two glaring headlights he found pointed at him the wrong way of the track. He missed the other car but smacked a retaining wall.
