WALKER WHIPS UZCUDUN BY SLIM MARGIN NFfV YORK, May 37 (41 If Mickey Walker falls to got that . match- wlUi Ernie Schaaf aa early . in the outdoor season as ho expect ed. h0 can tyame It all on Paulino Uscudun, rock-ribbed old warrior . from tbe Pyrenees, By the slimmest of margins and, partly at least, because of an Illegal punch at the end of tho eighth round. Walker squeezed out a ten round decision over. Paulino In Madison Square Garden last night. But Uie boocs of a crowtl of 8.000 followed Walker as ho loft the ring while Paulino drew the ovation usu ally reserved for the winner. Tho punch that turned tiro ym- path lea of the crowd to tho veteran Spaniard and the tide of battle toward Walker came after the bell had ended the eighth round. Pau lino was partly at fault for he land ed a left hook to the body Just after the bell. But he dropped his hand and stepped back and, as he did, - Walker swung a right, that split the Spaniard's left eyebrow wide open. That blow beat Paulino for Walk er opened tlie cut with tho first punch In tho ninth round and. ' blinded by tho flow of blood. Pan " lino could do little from then ou but step forward Into Walker's left h to the bead. Walker, if he had won decisively. ' was to have boon matched immed iately with Sohitftf but now he jimh- , ably will have to give Paulino a re- . turn match ftrsL Paulino, at 107, outweighed Walk. t or. by 27 pouuds.

NEW YORK, My 37 W Dig Ben Eastman, If. he essays tho iron man rola In an attempt to register an Olympic "double," has It well within his powers to smash the British resistance, which like its famous fighting squarev has been Impregnable at 800 meters in the lost three Olympiads. The chance far It Is now gone but what rabid track bug would not have given something approximat ing his right eye to see, with tlie left, a duel down the stretch at 800 meters betwen big, gangling East man and slim, magnificent Douglas Lowe, British winner of 1024 and 10281 Eastman, this spring, raced to a new world half-mile record of 1:51:3 shortly after ho had lowered the world 440 record. X saw Lowe, on a steaming hot London day four years ago. In his second race of the Anglo-American meet, romp his half-mile leg of a relay In exactly 1:51. On that afternoon, lud the opportunity been offered, I believe fcowe could have cracked 1 :5d for tho 880. Lowe Now Hetlred Lowe has now; retired, from, all competition but his great record, not only as the only double-winner In tho Olympic 800 but as a sports man and stylist In running form, leaves considerable for the new gen eration to shoot at. His farewell to the Olympics was a record of 1:51:8, shading by one tenth second the mark set by 1R-ycar-old Ted Meredith In the 1013 games. Ilnmpsan. New Threat Even without Lowe to worry about, Eastman mny hove to be at his best to bent off one or two out standing foreign challenges. Includ ing the new British threat of Tom Ilnmpson. Hnmpson won the Eng lish half-mile championship last summer in 1:54:8 but his best time is close to 1 :53. Dr. Otto Peltwr of Germany, holder of the official world record of 1:51:6 for the 880 (which East man bettered! is not likely to be n factor, despite his comeback. Tho doctor has never regained his 1026 peak. Prance has two stars In Sera Martin, sixth In the 1028 final after petting a world record at 1:50.6 and Paul Keller. Canada has a real con tender In Alex Wilson, who Is now running for Notre Dame university, tiennng Once Host Until Eastman raced to the front, the best American 800-meter pros pects appeared to be Eddie Oenung, the national 880-yard champion, and Russell Chapman, formerly of Bates college. Gcnung won the half-mile title in 1:53.6 lost July. Chapman looked like a coming world champion two years ago. He ran 1:51.5 Indoors but he Is now work ing In a Providence bank, doing 11 tie training, engaging In less com petition and may not bo able to show a return to form. Eastman, Oenung and Chapman, all In top form, might sweep the Olympic race but the uncertainties mny offer chances for runners like Dale Letts of the Illinois A C. Ot ter Rosner and George Bullwlnkle. both of the New York A. C. to make the American team. Meredith's Uraina 'Greatest The most spectacular of all the Olympic 800-meter finals undoubt edly was that of 1013 when the schoolboy Ted Meredith, with an astonishing burst of speed, whipped his more experienced countrymen. Met Sheppsrd and Ira Davenport, in a blanket finish and world record time. Meredith, who was instruct ed Just to set the pace for Shep pard, took his Instructions literally and nrver was headed. His time was 1:51.9. Sheppard and Daven port were abreast in 1:53. That was the last American vic tory. In 1020. England's Albert Hill boaf the Pennsylvania star. Earl Khy, In the final. Lowe.

He won it handily last night by outfighting Johnny Pena, rugged New Yorker, throughout mpet of the 15-round final bout of a tourn ament to fill the vacancy left when Bat Battalluo outgrew the division. Referee Slim MJcClelland's score cord gave Paul -every round but the sev enth. , . In his dressing room after the fight, the new champion said he would defend his title here In Sep tember against Pldel La Barba. Pena ellmlnntcd La Barba several weeks ago In the tournament 6emJ -finals on a decision which fight fans pro test to tills day. Last night's go was the first 15 rounder for either fighter and In the tenth it looked as if Paul was fading and might lose the advan tage he had piled up through a steady cross-fire of lefts and rights. But midway in the round, he caught Pena with a solid blow high on the cheek. Pena's knees wob bled and the crowd howled for a knockout. Paul delayed his coup de grace too long and Pena clinched until his heod cleared, but the temporary success Imbued the ultimate winner with the courage needed to carry on. In the seventh. Pena caught Paul in a corner and shook him with half a dozen straight lefts and right hooks to the head.

"i'j'-.i One Blow Fatal To Senators In Thursday's Tilt " By Ottj-le Tullot AsBoclated Press Sports Writer) One bad pitch a game, one ball that gets-away from, the pitcher and goes down- the batters alley, can very easily cost a good team a pen nant, said Walter Johnson recently Ul explaining his preference for moundsmen with tight control. As If to bear out his boss' con tention, Oencral Alvin Crowder of tho Washington Senators tossed one up that exactly suited Lou Gehrig of the Yankees In the sixth Inning of yesterday's tilt between the American league pace-setters. Three vanird uim on hnse at the time and Gehrig, further bearing out John sons theory, spanned tne oan the right field fence. The Yanks gathered another run In the ninth for a final score of 5 to 0. but It was Gehrig's blow that knocked the wind out of the Senators. Charley Buffing didn't give them a hit the last six innings. The victory perched the Yankees on top by four full games and left the Senators with only a two-game lead over the third place Detroit Tigers, who were beating Chicago, 11 to 2, In the first half of a sched uled doubleheadcr.
