TRACK EVENTS ARE FINISHED Zabala, Argentina, is Hero of Last Olympic Track Event Los Angeles, Aug. 8. —(U.R) - Juan Curios Zabala, probably the greatest athlete Argentiiw ever has produced, was today's big Olympic hero. Zabala was Olympic marathon champion. He won this gruelling race of more than 26 miles in newrecord time. Thus did the 20-year-old South American climax six years of training and two months, of intense local workouts as holder of the championship upon which he set his heart nearly six years ago. Little Juan Car.os trotted out of Olympic stadium early yesterday aitet'nupn as one of 28 marathon contestants. His head was qJVered with a slouchy white cap. He was first to return to the stadium with the hardest part of the 26 miles and 386 yards behind him. Only twice during the long run was Zabala out of hist place. Once when Banas, a Mexican, epsed in front of him about the third con-, liot, Ji few mi.es from the start. When Wriot, a great English runner, took the lead, but was immediately outrun. Ferris, the second Englishman, was wobbling but caught himself and finished in second place. Toi-wu.-n of Finland, not expected to be among the first ten, came in third. Wright was fourth, and | Tsuda, little Japanese runner, finished fifth. Zabalas nervous system was frayed by the long grind. He was fagged and ready to drop, when attendants seized him and supported him. He recovered quickly. ujWc.er, with a great show of spir-1 ic. Joyously he * -ved his hat to the crowd of 75,600 which arose as one to thunder its applause. Long after Zabala had crossed the finish line winner in 2:31:36. establishing a new Olympic record, the cheering went on, and the South Alrican lad, all but beside himself wi ll joy, danced about the stadium grennsward. waving the blue and white striped flag of his country. This spontaneous jubilation of the crowd over a magnificent victory. and the formal championship award prescribed by Olympic protocol, came as the climax of what unquestionably were the greatest Olympic track and field games of all time. They were the greatest because competition was the keenest, and because this competition brought out record achievements in nearly all,of the events. The final day of the track games saw records fall in each of the three Then's championships decided as well as in the final two women's competitions. The United States team, already Olympic track and field champion, won all of the events except the marathon. The U. S. 400-meter relay quartet ufßob Kiesel, Emmett Toppino, Hector Dyer and Frank Wykoff made Olympic history with a triumph in world and games record time of 40 seconds flat. Ivan Fuque, Edgar Ablowich, Karl Warner and Billy Carr captured the 1.600-meter relay in the time of 3:08.2, better than the best of the athletes of the past. Je n Shi ey brought to the U. S. the women’s high jump title with a world and Olympic record leap of 5-ft., 5*4 inches, breaking the former Olympic mark by precisely '> inches, and improving on the old

I The American women were I caught by unofficial timers in 46.9, I but the official stop watches were ' geared on a fifth-second basis, and 147 Seconds will be listesl ns the rec-, 1 'ord tor the books. I ‘There were, figuratively speak-, Ing, a million surprises in the eight days of record breaking track and field competition. The greatest, ' this writer's opinion, was the vic- ’ tory scored by Luigi Bedcall. ofi Italy, who set a new games mark ‘of 3 51.2 in the 1.500-meter. The event that ran truest to form i 1 was yesterday's marvelously run marathon. Zabala had been the favorite. Possibly the award for exhibi-j tion of greatest nerve, strength and ' determination should go to Jim IBausFh who won the decathlon, a punishing championship to win. The track and field games' hard ‘ . luck champion was Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette who was set back too ( !far at the start of his lane of the ' 200-meter final. This error probjably cost him the double-century, !title, 'I An unofficial award of staging the most unsportsmanlike act of the games could belong to Lauri Lehtinen of Finland who unques Itionably interfered with his closest rival, and who. in this writer's opiu- ! ion as well as in that of virtually every other spectator, deliberate.y fouled Ralph Hill of Oregon in the: closing meters of the 5,000-meter final, vl'onately awarded to the Firn. The leather medal for official stupidity went without contest to the alternate lap-checker who made the 3,000-meter steeplechase boys do an extra tour around the stadium. Final’y. the ward for presence of mind in a trying moment was the property of Bill Henry, sports technical director, and official announcer, who by his plea to “remember these people are our guests" restored order after the crowd, ‘ thoroughly aroused, was booing Lehtinen to the skies.

BRAVES HOPES 1 ARE SHATTERED Bostons Pennant Chances' Lowered By Loss of Two Players New York. Aug B.— (U.R) — Bill McKechnle, manager of the Boston I Braves, is the latest victim of mis'fortune in the 1932 National league; pennant race a tight, mocking struggle which has boosted and then blasted the hopes of more! club pilots than ever before. Just when Bl’l's pennant hopes were brightest, first baseman Art , Shires retired and then Red Worthington. slugging left fielder, recelv-j led a broken ankle. While the loss of Shires may not Ibe felt much by the Braves, the -absence of Worthington certainly' will. The latter had been hitting i ‘around .304 and playing dependable, | ball. I Worthington broke his ankle yes-1 terday sliding into tliird base ini the nightcap of the doub'e-header which the Braves took from the [leading Pirates, 2 to 1 and 7 to 6. This doub'e victory enabled the} Braves to replace the idle Phillies | dn third position in the race, and it extended the Pirates' losing streak to nine straight, leaving them only 'one and one-half games ahead of' I the runner-up Chicago Cubs. | The Cubs split a twin bill with' the Giants. Chicago won the open- 1 er. S to 2. but dropped the second i game. 8 to 1. Lon Warneke resist-[ ered his 17th victory in the first: game, and Waite Hoyt stopped the I Cubs with eight hits in the night-1 cap. Max Carey's spurting Brooklyn I Dodgers ended their winning streak ' at six straight when they lost the nightcap of a twin bill to the Cin-1 cinnati Reds. 9 to 5. after winning: the first encounter, 6 to 1. They were the only games scheduled in the National circuit. Cleveland replaced the Athletics in second position in t ie American; league by beating Washington! twice. 7 to 4. and 6 to 2. Burnett , homered for'Cleveland in the open-: er. and his teammate. Earl Averill diil likewise in the nightcap. The As dropped Into third place! by spitting a double-header with the White Sox. Ted Lyons gave liie Chis,>x a 3-to-l victory in the, ' opener over Lelfty Grove, and the' A's took the second game, 1 to 0, when Tony Freitas allowed only: three hits. Johnny Stone's h.nte run in the seventh gave Detroit a 3-to-l triumph over the Boston Red Sox. and the New York Yankees continued th,eir victory march by trouncing the St. Louis Browns twice. 11 to 5 and 9 to 4. Frank Crosetti horn-: ered in each game, and Babe Ruth made his 31st four-bagger of the year in the opener.

AT the present time Fistiana' can boast of but ONE ring champion who has proved nimself worthy of the name. Yes, I mean Tony Canzoneri of Brook1> ■. and New Orleans, the doughty little fighting man who now wears the mantle of Gans, Lavigne and Leonard. While Tony may not measure up to the stature of his marvelous predecessors, he has certainly shown himself to be a genuine champion and a real fighter—one who FIGHTS and doesn’t stall, who has never dodged a challenger, and who provides thrills galore almost every time he climbs through the ropes. I don’t believe he has ever participated in an actually dull bout. It is typical of Canzoneri that he has insisted upon defending his title against the man who has been ballyhooed as the greatest fighter for his weight and inches in the game today — Billy Petrolle, the famed “Fargo Express.” After

HICKS-CONRAD MEET IN RING Two Local Heavies to Battle Friday Night; Other Bouts Held Tarzan Hicks and Polly Ccnradwill come together for the second' time in the arena Friday night to settle the much discussed question ! as to which really is the best heavy weight in these parts. Hicks has won all of his fights in his career, including a knockout over Polly while Polly has suffered but two defeats during his boxing activities. Both boys are training hard for the go and a great battle is to be expected. Tuffy Burkhead will take on Andy Babbit in the semifinals. Burky has won this st;:ot on the card ! due to his sensitional knockout over Clint a week ago. Bull Men- 1 tana Rayl will meet Battling Anderson and this bout should also 1 prove a«good one. Elton Archer who also won bby a knockout in his last fight takes cn a lad by the name of Sailor Mickey. Mickey is here attending the Reppert Auction I school and has quite a reputation as a fighter. A number of other good bouts are I scheduled and it should be a good I card from start to finish. The first ■ b ut will start at 9 o’clock sharp; I pi ices will be lidies, 25c, children 6 to 12 years 15c, gents, 25 nnd 40c with ringside seats extra. 0 - « 4 OLMPIC WINNERS Los Angeles, Aug. 8. —(U.R) —New track and field champions of the tenth Olympiad; 100 meters run: Edward Tolan of Detroit. 200-meter run: Edward Tolan of w

I Tony had whipped Kid Chocolate, he and Manager Sammy Goldman conferred with Madison Square officials about his next title bout, and when the question of who was to be his opponent was broached, all that Tony would say was, "Get Petrolle for me next!” What a crowd should be on hand when these two Italian gladiators face each other under the glare of the arc-lights at the mammoth bowl in Ixing Island City, N. Y.! This fight is certain to be a terrific slugfest, since Petrolle is a kayo puncher, and Canzoneri is always willing to trade wallops. There won’t be any repetition of the last two McLarnin-Petrolle jousts, which lacked thrills because the Vancouver Irishman refused to slug it out with the murderouspunching Fargo man. being content to box his way carefully to a decision win. Canzoneri couldn’t fight THAT way if he tried. He always punches it out with his opponents, no matter how hard they can sock!

Thrills and more thrills greeted; the large crowd that attended the' Motorcycle Rodeo held yesterday i afternorn at the Stateline Station A large number of riders performed intricate tricks for the specta-i tors and it was thoroughly enjoyed I from start to finish. In the elimination race, Lawrence Mays was the winner, defeating Robert Eiting in the finals; Mays time was 2:07 establishing a new track record which was formerly posted at 2:20. In the Polo game, the team cap i trined by Rex Nickols won over i the team captained by M. J. Donnald by a score of 1 to 0. In the girls potato race, Lauretta Franton, riding Rex Nichols was the winner. The best exhibition of trick riding was awarded to Donnald who performed the feat of carrying seven men on his motorcycle. Un the broad jump contest, Lawrence Mays proved the winner with a jump of 24ft and 8 in. After the Jump, Mays lost control of his machine but righted it before any damage cculd be done In the Weiner Snatching event, all riders .participating, Roy Newberry was the winner. Floyd Keller won the road Tree with a time of 48 seconds for the mile; Rex Nichols, who finished third in this event gave the fans a thrill when he blew a tire out at the finishing line, jumped a ditch grazed a telephone pole, and rode 30 rods with his machine out of control. Plans for another Rodeo to be held at a later date are under way.
