After Out-Smarting Garcia
‘Bring ’Em All On,” Says Ken, and Then He Fades Out With a Blond to Do Some Rhumba Hoofing
By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor
NEW YORK, May 24.—The new middleweight champion did three rhumba steps in his dressing room after the fight and issued this statement to the press: “From now on just look for me in the Broadway night clubs ’cause I'm going to get a little drinkee and make up for lost time. It was Ken Overlin speaking—speaking out of a face smeared with blood, speaking with an impatient tone in his voice, for he wanted to get the business over with and rush to some place where the wood winds were whining, the saxophones were giving off hot licks and the piano player was going out of this world on the latest swing piece.
He had just snatched the middleweight title off the dark brow of Ceferino Garcia, the hard hitting “bolo puncher” from the Philippines

Boxing Commission forced him ;to retire to the country and prepare for this bout. He has been through 173 fights, but he had always done his roadwork in night clubs and he was a 2-to-1 underdog against Gar(cia. But somewhere along the line he picked up a fast, sweeping left hook to the body, and that punch won the fight for him. But it was a winning punch last night and it tied up Garcia's right all the way. He may be a playboy, but this

Open Trials Begin Monday
NEW YORK, May 24 (U. P).— The United States Golf Association today announced the names of 1133 men who will seek places Monday in the sectional qualifying rounds for the National Open tournament and the chances are great that many famous golfers fail to make the grade. The sectional rounds of 36 holes of medal play will be held in 25 districts throughout the country and of all the men who try, only 139 will succeed. The field for the Open, to be held June 6-8 on the Canterbury Course near Cleveland, will number 170. Thirty of last year’s lowest players and the home professional, Waldo Crowder, are exempt from qualifying. The rest of the field will be decided Monday and among the men who'll try in the sectional are ten former champions, a flock of good amateurs and many well-known professionals. The keenest competition will come on the links of the Mount Vernon, N. Y., Country Club where an even 100 golfers will battle for 17 places. That group includes three former winners—Willie MacFarlane, 1925; Johnny Farrell, 1928; Gene Saazan,
1822-1932.

proved the contrary in the lowlands and in France. The parachutist is a one-man army. He is dropped by airplane far to the enemy's rear, to sabotage communications and pave the way for a general advance. A handful of parachutists might seize an entire town if it is undefended and une prepared. The parachutist often carries a folding bicycle for rapid movement. In some cases, it is even a portable motorcycle. He is armed with a sube machine gun and automatic pistol. He carries field glasses, a gas mask, portable radio, water bottle, map case with detailed charts of the countryside, and a camouflaged pup tent. He carries no food and is expected to forage for himself, Cycle Troops Also New Attack
Other new methods of attack are motorcycle troops, fast tanks and the heavy super-tank which is reasonably impervious to the antie tank gun which was developed to cope with the kind of tanks the Allies expected to be used. The Germans were a step ahead of them. Tanks were used in the World War, but not until 1917, and they were lumbering, clumsy things with little efficiency. In the first World War action in which an American tank battalion was engaged in 1918, the men were 60 per cent casualties, The 1940 tank rattles along at a good rate of speed and are essentially mobile forts, with light are tillery as well as machine guns. Another arm which the Germans are using with telling effect is the motorcycle. Behind the parachutists, they speed along to reinforce the advance thrust. Behind them come the tanks, then the main army, mechanized and able to roll,
