POST-OLYMPIC AT CHICAGO Stars Gather at Chicago To Compete For Further Honors Chicago, Aug. 18.—(U.R)—Eleven Olympic champions, 10 world’s record holders and outstanding athletes from 11 forgein countries and the United States assembled here today for a post-Olymplc track and field meet in Soldier Field tonight. A crowd of nearly 50.001) is expected to see tonight's program of IS men's and 5 women’s events in , the big lake-front stadium. Eddie Tolan. Detroit negro who won the 100 and 200-meter O yinpic tit es, refused an invitation last night to run a sprint race against Ralph Metcalfe, his Marquette rival. but will sun one leg of the 400rnetcr relay. A. A. U. officials had difficulty getting Tolan’s entry as he is said to resent the attitude of the Chicago negro press in commenting on his races with Metcalfe, Unofficially it is understood that Tolan has vowed never again to meet his younger rival, Metcalfe, and is wi.lfhg to stand on his Olympic laurels. The U. S. relay team will be an all-negro quartet composed of Jim Johnson. Illinois State Normal. Tolan. John Brooks, U. of Chicago, and Metcalfe, who will run in that ordel The other nations entered are Germany, Italy and Greece. Dr. Patrick O'Callaghan, Ireland's hammer-throw champion, may be a last-minute entry and if he competes more than half of the Olympics track and field champions will be in action. One of the high spots of tonight’s meet will be another duel between Lauri lehtinen. Finland, and Ralph Hill, lanky. Oregon boy, in the 5,000 meters. Lehtinen beat Hill by inches in the O ympic 5.000 meters but twice swerved in front of Hill as the American attempted to pass the Finn in the home stretch. The Finish was so close that troth men were timed officially in 14 min-

A HEAVYWEIGHT elimination tourney! The very words recall old memories —the palmy days of “Tex” Rickard, when that incomparable master of ballyhoo 'was forever bobbing up with new heavyweight finds. As far as Rickard was concerned, heavyweights were really the only fighters that mattered, and “Tex” never was able to work up much interest in the activities of the smaller men. His fondest dream was to discover a colorful new heavyweight prospect who packed a kayo wallop; and it must be admitted that old Looie Ange! Firpo, in spite of all his fistic limitations, certainly filled the bill. Immediately after unearthing some new “find,” “Tex” would start the big Build-Up. A few convenient set-ups would be bowled over to help the ballyhoo gain momentum, and then the new “sensation” would be thrown in with a few of the old standbys in a “Mammoth Heavyweight Elimination Tourney.” If, as expected, the sensational new prospect successfully weathered the eliminations, he was matched

GUBS-BOSTON IN LONG GAME Chicago Wins 19-Inning Affair Yesterday; Came a Thriller New York. Aug. IS.- (U.R) The Chicago Cubs. National league leaders, have demonstrated again that 'they are almost invincible on thei; own diamond. Long noted as a great home club,, jthe Cubs have lived up to their rep,utaLion in the current series with the Boston Braves. They staged *' Ifour-run ninth inning rally to win the first game Tuesday and battled lit innings to overcome the I Braves yesterday. 3 to 2. Exce'lent pitching by Grimes. Tinning and Bush for the Cubs and Brown and Frankhouse for the Braves featured the contest. Grimes was relieved by Tinning in the sixth when the Braves scored two runs to take a 2 to 1 lead while Brown i gave way to Frankhouse in the seventh when Chicago tied the score. For the next 11 innings Tinning and Frankhouse pitched shut-out ball. Tinning gave way to a pinch-hit-ter in the 18th and Guy Bush held the Braves at bay in the next frame and received credit for the victory when the Cubs won out. Herman singled to start the winning rally and went to second when Eng Ish was hit by a pitched bail. Cuyler sacrificed and after passing Stephenson to fill the bases. Frankhouse was re'ieved by Pruett. Demaree batted for J. Moore and drove in the winning run with a long fly. I The victory increased Chicago’s

with the champion. That was how ; the never-to-be-forgotten Dempsey-1 Firpo fight eventually came about— I one scrap which more than justified ail of Rickard’s advance ballyhoo. However, as things are today, even if the great “Tex” could come back to earth, it is doubtful that he could do much with the current crop of heavyweights. After all, think of the fighters that Rickard had to work with—Dempsey. Firpo, Carpentier, Wills, Gibbons, Tunney. Brennan and the rest —any of these men in his prime would be a standout today. In the first bout of Promoter Jimmy Johnston’s current elimination tourney, Ernie Schaaf won the decision over Paulino after 15 tedious rounds. The small crowd that witnessed this uninspired mauling match agreed that as an “elimination” bout it was a big success, since both men eliminated themselves from consideration as championship contenders. The funny part of it is that this fight, poor as it was. certainly was not a whit worse than the recent SharkeySchmeling title affair! As for the rest of the probable competitors in the current tourney, the most colorful of the lot is the

lead (iter Pittsburgh to two games ’ as the’Pirates lost to Brooklyn, 4 [to 1. Joe Stripp batted in three: runs and scored the other himself as Fred Heimach and Van Mungo held the Pirates at bay. Four-hit pitching by Jim Mooney and heavy-hitting by Bill Terry gave the New York Giants an 8 to; I o victory over Cincinnati in the National league contest. Philadelphia and St. Louis were rained out. i Lefty Grove beatt Wesley Ferrell once more as the Phi’adelphia Ath-, letics defeated Cleveland. 11 to 0, ■ to climb to second place in the Ami erican league, Grove yielded four hits. It was Grove’s ISth victory. The New York Yankees made it' hree ii s’ over the Detroit Tigers, 8 to 3, as Babe Ruth hit his 134th hom. un " r the season. | For the second consecutive day | Washington came from behind to down the Chicago White Sox, 4 to 2. Heavy hitting by Dale Alexander and excel’ent pitching by Paul Andrews gave Hie Boston Red Sox a 7 to 3 victory over the St. Louis Browns. Yesterday's hero: Joe Stripp. third baseman, who batted in three runs and scored another himself to give Brooklyn a 4 to 1 victory over Pittsburgh. o Be Coa<v*t Those who want much yre always much in need; happy the man to whom God gives with a sparing hand what la sufficient for his want* ■ — F.Tf-hv.ge o — - Look at Me!

| giant Primo Camera. The ambling Alp is gradually forcing even hi most hostile critics to admit that he can fight a bit. and with his tremen dous physique he may yet become a super-heavyweight if he continues improving. When Primo lost ade cision to Larry Gaines in London, reports were spread in this country that he had suffered a decisive and humiliating defeat; but a glance at the London papers sufficed to prove once again that first reports are sometimes about as trustworthy a> Ananias. The facts are that the decision in favor of Gaines caused quite a row. with much talk of Camera being robbed; and some papers gave the giant Italian as many as 9 of the 10 rounds. i The rest of the heavyweights, with the exception of Schmeling, are I a pretty hopeless bunch. Baer, Po i reda and Hamas are the most prom ising of the younger crop, but old ■ “Jawn” Risko could probably lick . all three of ’em, now that he has taken a new lease on life.
