CLEAR the cinder paths! Stand back, one and all! All entrants this way for the 200 I meter dash, an Olympic tryout! See them crow-ding up to the starting line. Frank Wyckoff, whose real specialty is the “100”, but who can step in the furlong too. George Simpson, former Buckeye star, who came out of the discard only a few weeks ago to shatter the Olympic record for the distance, breaking the tape in 21.2. They never could do that before. The best of them, Archie Hahn, Jack Scholz and Germany’s Helmut Hornig made the books with 21.6. Watch this dark-haired lad! Here’s a colored boy. Sure enough, it’s Eddie Tolan. who used to burn up those tracks at Michigan and captured national honors in the “220" last year. Anyone with that background can't be an also ran before the race starts. V I win at least three of them, the ' i discus, Javelin thr w and 80-metre ' i hui dies.

McCammon. Detn., El--1 wood, believes that under present i economic conditions al! highway construction should cease, pend- , ing revival of business. He ini gists, however, that present highways be maintained in perfect | condition and that the balance of ! the gasoline tax and auto license fund lie returned to counties and cities to eliminate local road levI les. j W.

Who is that dark-haired, chunky lad with the soft southern accent? I See him flexing his knees, prancing on his toes with consummate grace. - Look for-his number—aha!, Top- ■ pino—Emmet Toppino, pride of i New Orleans. One of the greatest sprinters of this speedy day and ■ age. That lad equalled the world I record for the 60-yard dash six ■ times last winter during the indoor season. He could step a mean fur- . long while a student of Louisiana's . Loyola. Can he beat this field? , We’ll see. Who is that other colored chap? . No, not Eddie Tolan—that lad with the smiling face. Who? Met- ■ calfe? Oh. now I know. He’s the I speedster from Marquette University. Sure, he won the National A, 1 A. U. junior championship in the | hundred in 1930 with a mark of 9.7. Not bad. And he holds the ree- ’ oline tax fund be returned to citi ies and towns. Eail Crawford. Dem. Milton. is likewise opposed to absolute curtailment ot all highway construe-, tion. but believes that pending I legislation, when approved by the assembly, will distribute gasolin-- . | tax funds in such away that con--1 : traction of new roads will bo . greatly reduced. In the opinion of H. S. Linke, Dem.. Columbus, a complete let : down of road construction at this . ■ time is all right providing the gasoline tax is lifted. He contends i that it is unfair to divert gasoline . tax money to purposes other than . those contained in the original bill. Jacob Weiss, Dem., Indianapolis, who favors curtailing all highway I construction at this time, wants half of the gasoline tax levy used to retire $25,000,000 worth of state I road bonds. o Stella Walsh Quits American Olympic Team Cleveland, July 13 —tUP) — The | United States Olympic team 1 ist an almost certain point winner today w. n Miss Stella Walsh decid;ed to compete under the White Engle f Poland in return far a [clerical position in the Polish con1, su’ te in New York.

ords in both dashes in the Central A. A. U. district. The record say’s he’s good for 21.2 in the furlong. Whew! That’s as good as Simpson did when he created such a sensation only a while ago. Sure enough, same time. Somebody just mentioned -the name Dyer. Who do they mean? That’s right, it’s Hee Dyer of the Los Angeles A. C. And they do say he’s good. Now wait a minute. Let’s get the record straight. Dyer beat Eddie Tolan. He beat Frank Wyc koff twice and tied him once in the only three times they have met. He must be some runner. All the Coast fans say that it’s a cinch for him in the “200" with Wyckoff a sure bet in the “100.” That may be olnly a natural sectional optimism—but reserve one great big cheer for the boy who beats either of them!

PITCHERS MAKE 3REATCOMEBACK New York, July 111.—(U.R)--Steve. SwetonlC and Huck Betts, two. pitchers who were virtual outcasts | last winter, have staged remark able comebacks this season and are battling it out for hurling honors in the National league. Swetonlc of the Pirates and Betts of tlie Braves sti.l are tied for first place among the National flingers, each scoring 10 victories with two defeats. The late Barney Dreyfuss tried to dispose of Swetonlc last winter because Steve liad not lived up to the 535,000 price paid for him to Indianapolis. But none of the clubs wanted Steve at the price. A series of ailments was supposed to have left him with a "dead arm.” Likewise, various scouts who inspected tlie 33-year-old Betts at St. Paul reported that he seemed I "washed up,” had no sliced and was a poor prospect. The Braves gabbed him for about $4,000 on a gamble. Swetonie's excellent work this season has buoyed up the Pirates and giveiFthem a confidence, manifesto yesterday even though Steve wasn't on the mound, when they beat Brooklyn, 8 to 7, after a 12iniiing struggle. Paul and Lloyd Waner and Pie Traynor were on the sidelines with injuries. It was Pittsburgh's third straight victory over Brooklyn, and it enabled the Pirates to protect their lirst-p'aee lead. The Cubs made it three out of four in their series with the Braves, beating them, 4 to 3. Pat Malone won his own game when he scored in the ninth on a single by English. New York's Giants rose to 7th place, dropping tile Reds back into the cellar with a 4 to-3 defeat. George Walkins' home run in the third inning, scoring a mate, enabled the Cardinals to come from behind and beat the Phillies, 7 to 6. In the American league, a tworun rally in the ninth gave tlie Indians their third successive victory over the Athletics, 7 to 6. Lefty Grove yielded 18 hits. The Yankees defeated the
