Event on 1932 Olympic pro

vhlcn no American or world
luted.
Oli'mplcs but the heel-and-toe boyi
as veil as the officials who make It
tough fcx them, will be back In a
big way at Los Angeles.
The Tenth Olympiad program
calls for nothing less than a 50.000
meter bike. .
The event will require anywhere
from four to six hours to complete.
If anybody completes It at all, but
the customers will be given the hap
py alternatives, during Its progress,
' of watching the 200-meter dash,
the pole vault, discus throw. 110
meter bleb, hurdles. 1600-meter trials
and 80-meter ladles' hurdles.
c:hsmp To Appear
Uso Prigerto of Italy, the last
Olympic walking champion. Is re
ported ready for a comeback. If so
be will help make the pedestrian
frolics a good show. Ugo has a flair
for dramatics. He likes applause In
hu turns around the track and bids
for It.
Some of the by-play to Frlgerlo's
triumph at 10.000 meters In 1924 at
Paris was riotous. One of the com
petitors, an Austrian, gained a good
lead In the trials and appeared a
sure winner. Officials In long linen
dusters who bad been scampering
around, even stretching themselves
flat on the ground to peer Intently
at the heel and toe work, finally
pounced on the Austrian.
Official Hill
Most of the officials spoke French
and no Austrian. The pedestrian
spoke no French. There was sud
denly much gesticulation and shout
ing, which the athlete waved aside.
He kept right on walking. Boon the
whole pack of officials was trotting
after the Austrian. They were get
ting quite out of breath but highly
Indignant. Finally things became
so cluttered up that the walker had
to quit. .
There was a big dot -wow that
night, the Austrian's protest was
sustained and he was given another
chance the next day. The Judges
who had ruled him off resigned. But
they had their revenge. A new set
of Inspectors disqualified hint again.
' Only Once Hits Year
There won't be any repetition of
this at las Angeles. The 50.000
meter walk Is scheduled Just once,
on Thursday. August 4, without any
preliminaries.
Only eight out of 48 starters fin
ished the American tryouts around
Central Park. New York, where
Ernest Crosbie of Baltimore and
William Chlsholm of Los Angeles
won the right to compete In the l-os
Angeles games. Cronble covered the
distance, which Is equivalent to 31
miles, 125 yards. In 5 hours, 30 min
utes, 40 1-5 seconds. G'htsriolm was
only about 30 seconds behind.
No other finishers were close and
the casuslties along the route In
cluded Harry Clark of Boston, the na
tional lonir-ulstancc walking cham
pion; Mike Pccora of Brooklyn, the
holder of the world Indoor nulc rec
ord: Mack Weiss of Newark.
Tho time was very slow but It was
the hottest day of the spring In New
York. Canada has a plodder, Henry
Clcman of Toronto, who has done the
60,000 meter grind In 4 .11.48.
