CREAM OF THIS
NATION'S TRACK
MEN TO COMPETE
Greatest Collection of
Stellar Performers in
Country's History Wait

PAIX ALTO. Cn!., July 14 A
America's warning to the Invading
army or athletes seems likely to be
sounded with record -.smashing em
phasis in the final Olympic track and
field tryouu, Friday nnd Saturday,
before upwards of 30,000 spectators
in Stanford university's beautifully
laid out stadium.
Combined with the national senior
A. A. U. champlonrthlps for 1932. the
ilpcifiivo tents for the American team,
which will carry the shield in the
blue-ribbon event of the tnth
Olympiad at Los Angeles two weeks
hence, have brought together the
grcotest collection of track and field
Htnrs In the country's history. World
recordbreakers, present and prospec
tive, will bo featured la at least
seven events.
Slmuiil Have No Alibis
"So far as most of the main events
aro concerned, you pick the winners
out of a hat Just as coblly as you
can figure them on n dopesheet,"
Lawson Robertson, the American
Olympio head coach, told the Asso
ciated Press today. "We should have
no alibis when the team Is finally
chosen, by actual tryouts, to meet
the best that the rest of the world
can offer. It's the greatest lineup I
lmve ever seen."
The American team, barring some
lnst-mfnute change of heart by
Olympio officials, or extraordinary
developments, will stand on the re
sults of the try outs. The desire of
Ren Eastman, famous Stanford run
ner, to compete only in the 400
meter run, has disposed of the talk
of picking him, without trial, for the
fJOO meters.
lllg lie ii Seeks Revenge
Eastman has been a storm-center
ever since the forces began assembl
ing for the final trlnls. Since his
defeat in the Intercollegiate 440 by
Bill Carr, of Pennsylvania, Big Ben
has been pointed for a return duel
and revenge," in the 400 meters. East
man and Carr are "seeded" In sep
arate heata of the 400 tomorrow but.
barring the biggest kind of an upset,
probably will battle it out in the
final Saturday.
Coast enthusiasts today, however,
were offering no bettor than even
money that Eastman would take
Cnrr's measure, following word the
blond Stanford runner had been af
fected by a slight cold. Easterners of
fered the suggestion that either Karl
Warner, of Yale, or Reginald Bowen,
former Pittsburgh star, might con
tribute another upset. If Carr failed
to repeat. The world record or 47
seconds should be knocked bow
Icfiged, anyway.
Field to be lleritu-eil
The preliminaries tomorrow will re
duro the ail-star field, from around
.100 athletes to not more than 125
for Saturday's finals. This will be
cut in half again by the deciding
tests. The first three In each of 18
events will qualify for the Olympic
team. In addition to which extra men
will be chosen for the 400 and 1000
meter relay teams.
Although the spotlight focuses on
n flock of PaclTlc Coast stars, all
e.-ijicr to ndd the California touch to
California's Olympics, the dope-sheets
Indicated the cast and middle west
will contribute most of the place
winners. On a consensus of experts,
the prospects point to theso results:
East. 29; mld-wcst. 21; far west. 17;
south, a. This Includes the selec
tions already made for the decathlon
and marathon, as well as the relay
probabilities, to complete the track
and field lineup.

"Why Is It, Johnny, thnt when I'm

thousand answers.
However. I think that every golfer,
whether an outstanding prire winner

finds himself inclined to pre when
he enters tournament play. This will I
irutn any shot,
I My advice is to try to foreet that
you are playing against your oppo

With Grimes In
Slump, Chicago
Loses to Robins
By Oayle Talbot
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
That heroic figure of the last world
series, Burleigh Grimes, must have
been a source of the keenest disap
pointment to Rogers Hornsby the last
few months.
The Cubs manager apparently made
the smartest kind of a move when he
acquired Orlmes In the famous deal
that sent Hack Wilson on his way.
But the once great spltballer has
failed to produce, and It Is only be
cause of Lonnie Warneke. the Ar
kansas youngster, has come through
so spectacularly that the Cubs are
where they are today.
Grimes In Slump
Grimes, thus far has been able to
win only four for Hornsby and has
lost eight. After Illness set him back
at the start of the race, the veteran
righthander started well and It looked
for a time that he was set for a big
year, but something slipped about a
month ago and he has been of prac
tically no value since. Doing relief
work mostly, he has lost five straight
and was knocked from the box In
his last three starts.
Grimes' inability to regain his
stride cost the Cubs a 5 to 4 defeat
by Brooklyn yesterday. The defeat
kept the Cubs from climbing within
a single game of the league leaders.
Boston took a pair from the Pi
rates, 5-1 and 10-5.
Cards Win Fourth Straight
The St. Louis Cardinals won their
fourth straight, taking the Giants,
6-2. and the Phillies scored a 3 to
2 triumph over Cincinnati.
. The Cleveland Indians romped on
the A's again, 7 to 6, in 10 Innings
and went into second place in the
American league.
Boston's Red Sox not only took
their second straight from Detroit, 8
to 7, but chalked up their first series
of the season, three games to two.
Home runs by Babe Ruth and
Frankle Crosetti, each with one
aboard, gave the Yankees their final
with St. Louis, 5 to 3. It was No. 25
for the Babe. Washington hammered
three Chicago White Sox pitchers for
16 hits and a 15 to 4 victory.
Expect Big Crowd
At Portland Fight
PORTLAND, Ore., July 14 (&) With
good weather tomorrow night, Joe
Waterman, boxing promoter, is pre
dicting a crowd of between 6000 and
8000 at the Multnomah civic stadium
to see Leo Lomskl fight Young Flrpo,
the Idaho miner, ond Handy Andy
Bundy, the Oakland negro flash mix
with Able Israel. Portland Jewish boy.
Flrpo Is seeking revenge for the two
round knockout by Lomskl at their
previous meeting, when the former
Aberdeen Assassin surprised him with
a haymaker to the mouth and the
loss or several teeth. Both Bundy and
Israel-have been going sensationally,
having a long string of knockouts to
their credit.
REED DEFEATS
DOC NELSON IN
ROUGH MA'i'CH
PORTLAND, Ore., July 14 (fP
Robin Reed, Reedsport, Ore., defeated
Doc Nelson, Atlanta, Ga., two out of
threo falls here last night, but found
it necessary to resort to rough tac
tics to do it. Reed took the first
fall in 10 minutes. 50 seconds. Af
ter weakening Nelson with whip
wrist locks, Reed used a Sonnenberg
butt to the stomach to flatten the
southerner. Nelson won the second
fall in 9 minutes. 44 seconds, with a
peculiar style of neck-wrenching
head locks. After some very rough
work the third fall went to Reed in
19 minutes. 22 seconds when he up
ended Nelson.
Bob Myers took two falls from
Glenn Stone in the five round special
event, while Bulldog Jackson lost the
curtain raiser to Joe Gardtneer, on a
foul when he slugged his opponent
on the chin.

(Associated Press Sports Editor)
Eddie Egan's entertaining book,
"Fighting for Fun," throws the light
on one of the most unusual amateur
athletic careers on record.
The Colorado boy who went to
war, to Yale, to Oxford and boxed
his way around the world Just for
the sport, of swapping left hooks,
seems .to... have enjoyed himself Im
mensely..' V'Tet he had a difficult
time resisting the temptation to
turn professional. Recurrently,
through the schoolboy stages of his
career, he defends himself, but it
IOOK VJCiitJ Auuiicjfo huyiuj, appar -x
ently, to finally check a strong lm-
pulse to turn -pro. '
Its iiuv wuiui it,, Aumicy VOIQ
Eagan, as the professional and ama
teur heavyweight champions meet
in Colorado Springs. "You don't
know what a champ has to put up
with until you are one. It's a long
roud to the championship. I was
years getting my chance. It takes
lots of fights to get to the top and
then it's a matter of luck.
"You wouldn't start at the bot
tom, H'b true., but the bees are
busiest around the top of the honey
jar. There are plenty ahead of you.
Maybe you can lick 'em all, only re
member the . better you are the
harder you'll find It to get matches
with top-notchers. . . . You're ready
to tackle law. It won't help your
career a bit to be known as a for
mer pug. People Just don't aaso- '
elate brains and pugilism. . . ."
Years earlier, in Denver, Jack
Dcmpsey boxed an exhibition with
tho youthful Eagan, showed him
some tricks of the game and ad
vised: "Stick to college, kid. I wish
I had your chance. The profession
al gets darn little money and lots
of punches."
The future Rhodes scholar and
Olympic champion might not have
been so willing to accept this ad-
vice if either he or Dempsey had M
known the big money that was to 1
be collected during boxing's later '
boom times. Eagan nevertheless
resisted offers from Tex Rtckard
as well as London promoters to
turn "pro" after it was apparent he
could very likely "clean up." If he
has any lingering regrets now, he
dees not Indicate them.
ACfAINST OLYMPIC BOXING
It may interest the Olympic 'mo
guls to have Eagan's viewpoint on
the fistic sport's place on , the in
ternational program.
"I have been to three Olympiads
and seen all the events," he says.
"It seems to me that the object of
tho games, good fellowship and
sportsmanship between nations could
be better achieved without the box
ing events. i
"The decision of two inexpert-
enced judges Is often wrong sci
ence, skill In footwork and clever
countering blows are often not ap
preciated by the Judges If a fa
vored national charges in continual
ly like a maddened bull. I have seen
biting in the clinches, knives
drawn by spectators, and policemen
iifilnL' their clubs at the boximt
matches when a decision seemed V
unfair."
IlKMPSEY I1KST FHiHTER
As to the two great men of pugi
lism with whom he boxed and asso
ciated on friendly terms, Bagan
says: "In my opinion Jack Demp
sey Is the greatest fighter and Gene
Tunney the greatest boxer in ring
history. Of course I did not see
the old-time champions, but I think
hexing has evolved 'upward Just as
every other sport has. Fighters to
day know more about training and
scientific living than the earlier
chnmpions ever knew
