From 00. to. 70, young toads may be batched In this way at one time. i $ Sport Slants q d S- ' By. Alan J. Gould (Associated. .'Press Sports Editor) . Due to. some fancy mathematics in the : translation of meters and centimeters to feet and Inches, aided and abetted" "by some typographical wild throws, undue alarm has been spread among American weight toss ers preparing for tho Olympics. Wo can reassure therm at least to tho extent that Franz Dolda, the big Czccho-Slovaklan shot chukkcr, did not heave Vtho missile any such dis tance as-' yias fllgst reported 5444 feet or approximately two feet be yond tho, official world record for the 18-pouid iron ball. Actually Dolda's toss of 16.05 me ters represented a throw of 62 feet, 7 81-32 inches. This shades the world mark' of 52 feet, 7 inches (iq.04m.) credited to Emil Hlrsch fiold of Germany, but It does not make a chump out of the listed rec ord, by any means, nor. in fact, does it strike opr. own boys with excited amazement, much less terror. It Is, of course, a pretty fair heave ln any country, but our own Leo Sex ton, the most Improved of all the chot putters' within the past year, has tossed 52 feet, 8 3-8 Inches in doors and seems entirely willing to do even better at Los Angeles, if necessary to win. I recall that our boys were a little concerned as to the best way to take the measure of he German, Hlrsch flcld. at Amsterdam four years ago. On the way over reports by radio in dicated Hirschfield was very "hot" In this weight tossing specialty. One of our farmer boys, John Kuck, found the best method of rebuttal by propelling the iron, ball over 62 feet for a new world record at tho time. Herman Brix was second and Hirschfield third.
