BY winning both the 100 and 200-meter Olympic sprinLs at Los Angeles early this month, Eddie Tolan proved himself one of the greatest sprinters of all time. His double victory duplicated the feat of Archie Hahn in 1904, Ralph Craig in 1912 and Percy Williams in 1928, and in both races he set new Olympic marks, also establishing one new world’s record, as his time of 21.2 in the 200 meters is the fastest ever made on a curved track. But Tolan's two-time triumph . meant more than this. When the stocky Michigan Negro breasted the ape a bare two inches in front of his team mate, Ralph Metcalfe in the first sprint event, he became the first of his race to win an Olympic running event. Previously, the nearest a colored athlete had come to winning an Olympic race was back in 1908, when the late J. B. Taylor of Penn came in first in the 400-meters at London, only to be deprived of his victory on a protested ruling. It seems that after Taylor had won the race somebody entered a protest concerning a disputed technicality, and the race was then ordered re-run. The American team protested in its turn, and considering the ruling unair. refused to compete in the second racing of the event; and so the crown which was rightfully Taylor’s went ultimately to Lieutenant Halsewell of Great Britain. Negro athletes seem to take nat-

i ura'iy to track and field competi- . j tion. In «io other form of sport . j have colored competitors enjoyed such consistent success. The proof of their track and field prowess can be seen in the record books: for the past eleven years at least one of the events in the annual A. A. U. track I. and field championships has been won by a Negro. Look over the ,! record books and you will find the ! pages studded with the names of il- ' lustrious Negro track stars, both past and present. Among the most famous Negro athletes of the past, i the standouts are Howard Drew, great sprinter who was the first of his race to hold a world’s record; Charles Brookins, who broke the world’s record for the 220-yard low hurdles back in 1924; Ned Gourdin of Harvard, who was the first man in the world to leap 25 fegt in the running broad jump; De Hart Hubbard, Gourdin’s successor as broadjump King, who set a new mark of 25 feet 10 inches and won the Olympic broad jump in 1924; Silvio Cator, who became the third Negro to break the broad jump record when he set a new mark of 26 feet inch in France two years ago; and the afore-mentioned middle distance star, J. B. Taylor, who won the I. C.-4A. title twice and copped the national championship in 1907 in the quarter-mile event. The bespectacled Eddie Tolan was not the only dark-skinned athlete to star in the recent games at Los Angeles. Ralph Metcalfe, sensational Negro sprinter from Mar-

I joined the one-hit honor list witli i Earl Whitehill and Tommy Bridges ' of Detroit and Wes Ferrell of Cleve- . land. 0 Chicago Boxers Defeat Italian Olympic Team Chicago, Aug. 23—(UP) —A (earn f Chicago amateur boxers defeated Italy's Olya ;m team in the Cjhieago stadium last night, four bouts to three. The Chicagoans won the, featherweight, welterweight, middle I weight and Llghtheavyweig'nt bouts ' and the Itilians the bantamweight, light weight and heavy weight matches. The fflyweight bout was not held because of an injury to one of the Italians. Luciana Fabroni, Italian welterweight, refused to accept the loser's trophy when the decisicn went igaiast him in ills bout with Johnny Phagan, Chicago negro. 0 Charley Grimm Signs 1933 Contract With Cubs Chicago, Aug. 23—(UP)—Charley Grimm walked into the office of President William L.

■ quette University, finished second : and third behind Tolan in the two I dashes. Ralph beat the present ' Olympic champion twice in the final i American tryouts, and most of the ! spectators thought he hit the tape ! in front of Tolan in that much-dis- : puted 100-metre finish at Los Ani geles. The husky Marquette star > seems certain to eclipse Tolan’s > sprinting achievements in future competition, as he is only a youngi ster, while the Michigan ace in- . tends to retire from track compe- , tition in order to pursue his studies . as a medical student. Another Olympic championship which fell to a Negro competitor at ' Los Angeles was the broad jump, ■ long a pet event with dusky athi letes. This time it was Ed. Gordon, former lowa University broad jump ace who carried on the tradition established by Butler. Hubbard. Gourdin and Cator, beating the present recordholder, Nambu of Japan, to win the Olympic leap. Also, too much credit cannot be i given Phil Edwards, veteran Canadian Negro star, for his two wonderful races in the 800 and 1500meter events at Los Angeles. Phil wasn’t conceded much of a chance to reach the finals in either of these two races, but the great colored veteran surprised everybody by showing some of the greatest sneed of his career to place third in both events, coming in ahead of many of the world’s best middle distance runners. rwrrlltil. ns: Klnt Vvatmc Svndleate Ine

INDIANAPOLIS IN TAX RIDDLE City Faces $3 Levy While Effort Is Made to Make It $1.50 Indianapolis. Aug. 23.— (U.R) InIdiana’s drastic new $l5O tax limitation law will meet its first severe test in the state's largest county, it became apparent today. Seeking a method of slashing a [levy that tlirealened to Increase to $3, Marion county budget-mak-Crs promised that the maximum v ould not be over the limit. They drew up a three-point program which they hoped would curl) a rising tax schedule Although salaries of all county employes haave been cut 10 per cent, another deep slash was promised. As the second point, county louncilraen set out to eliminate all positions ' not absolute'y essential to function of the government." Furthermore they promised to hold maintenance within a minimum. A serious job of pruning expenses confronted councilmen. They will be forced to provide $1,669,358.47 to retire bonds next year. This ' alone will require a levy of 16 I tents. In addition they face an I assessment value decline of about ! $2.000,1KK) and a huge delinquency. Walter T. Boetcher, president of the council, announced that “whatTZT
