Pi Adam Zlegler, awakened from 17 hours of deep sleep, hobbled this morning from a Eureka. Calif., hos pital to a Son Franclsco-bound bus. The Redewood highway marathon runner who attempted to break tr.e ten-year record set by Flying Cloud, an Indian, had made good on only one of his beasts 'I'll keep running to Grants Pass until I drop." He was over 190 miles short of even reach ing his goal, much less cutting the Indian's time by more than a day. Still exhausted from 300 miles running In five days, the 55-year-old Austrian roused enough to say that he would go back home, rest up, and '.'beat tre record some other time." He fell unconscious late Saturday night, only ten miles north of Eu reka. Physicians at the hospital blamed his condition on Zlegler himself. "Improper diet, not enough sleep, and Improper conditioning" was th: unofficial diagnosis. , Even though the runner had drop ped twice before reaching Eureka, he refused to rest on a bed prepared Uiere for him, preferring to stand up and to eat food of his own selection. Similar experiences were related along the line from San Francisco where Zlegler was started from the city hall a week ago Monday by Mayor Rossi. Mad Bull, 1927 marathon winner, and Flying Cloud, who set the 1928 record,, were In Grants Pass today and heard the news that plans for greeting the runner had to be aban doned. LEWIS SCORES HIT rOHASSET, Mass., July 26. (UP) Sinclair Lewis answered seven curtalu calls last night at his self-styled "come-back" as an actor In a dra matic version of his "It Can't Hap pen Here." Stepping to the front of the stage In the drab concentration camp uni form that he wore In the final act of the play of a "Fascist America," Lewis told his first-night audience of 400: "This Ls a play, not a moral. We don't want It to happen here. It's not up to the president; It's up to the people who hire the president- Let's not have 'It happen here. " Lewis, .who won the Nobel prize for literature In 1930, went through the entire two and three-quarters hours performance aa Doremua Jes sup, the Vermont editor, apparently without missing a line and without appreciable signs of nervousness. The play was presented by the Souh Shore Players at the Cohasset sum mer playhouse. MISSING LAD IS FOUND IN WILD MOUNTAIN AREA BILLINOS. Mont.. July 26. (UP) Slx-yaer-old Lloyd Utter of raver.

SOCKEYE AND JOE WIN TEAM MATCH ON OPEN AIR CARG The wrestling team of Sockeye Jack McDonald and Polish Palooka Joe Smollnskl smashed its way to vic tory over Sgt. Bob Kenaston and Flash Kelly last night in the open air inaugural at the high school stadium, winding up the most sen sational grapple festival ever seen here, by blasting Kenaston Into un consciousness against the ring posts The winning duo took four fal's and the losers two. It was the flrt team match ever staged In southern Oregon i and the unanimous declar ation by 1000 fans afterwards was that it was the most thrilling thing they had ever witnessed Inside wrestling ring. Kenaston was out cold for 10 min utes after McDonald and Smollnskl ended the brawl by using him for a battering ram. With Kelly out of tlw picture via a back-breaker, McDonald grabbed Kenaston's shoulders and Smollnskl gathered In his feet. Hold ing Kenaston suspended horlzontil with the canvas, the pair raced across the ring and catapulted the Gold HUler'a cranium against the cornrr of the ropes. They backed off wttn the helpless Kenaston and gave It to him again in another corner., And that was the payoff. Kenaston dropped to the carpet unconscious, and didn't regain his senses for fully ten minutes. When he finally camo to. he was carried to the dressing loom with a bump on his head the size of an egg. The McDonald-Smollnskl tandem scored the first two tumbles after about 12 minutes of wild brawling. Smollnskl was about as useful to hit partner as a baby, tagging after Mc Jonald for protection and crying to high heaven when Kenaston or Kelly slapped a hold on him. Finally, Mc Donald brushed the shrinking Smo llnskl aside, picked up Kelly and heaved him at Kenaston. The ma rine went down and McDonald and Smollnskl promptly pinned him with a body press. With Kenaston out of the rlncr, Kelly lasted quick. McDonald grab bed him. heaved him against the ropes and belted him in the body as he rebounded. Smollnskl, brave now that Kenaston was missing, duplicated the stunt and Kelly went down for good. Kenaston and Kelly came back to even the count with stunning sud denness. Kenaston grabbed Smollnskl and Kelly got a stranglehold on Mc Donald on the opposite side of the ring. At a given signal, Kenastmi and Kelly tore for the center of th ring with the result that McDonald s and Smollnski's heads cracked to gether with sufficient force to drop them to the canvas in a stunnod condition. Kenaston and Kelly im mediately flopped on top of the felled gladiators to make the score 2-all. The deciding tumbles followed In short order. McDonald knelt on the floor and Smollnskl, smothering Kelly, picked him up and broke his back across McDonald's knee. That was all for the newcomer Kenaston, left alone, managed to stave off thu concerted attack of McDonald ' and Smollnskl for five minutes, but tt wasn't in the cards for him to beat them both. He finally came to the center of the ring and they turned him Into a battering ram, with the aforementioned disastrous results to Kenaston. Although the match 'was almost unbelievably brutal, it had its light touches. Several times Smollnskl, so excited he didn't know what wp.s going on. took socks at Mcdonald, his teammate. Sockeye registered his extreme disgust at the antics o Smollnskl, and several times threat ened to climb out of the ring and leave the Polish Palooka at the mercy of the other team. At other times the quartet became so embroiled and tangled up that nobody could tell whose arms and legs were whose. Promoter Mack Li Hard said today that he would attempt to stage an other team match next week; that hundreds of fans had requested It following the history -maker last night. In the Australian-system opener, Ben n y W 1 lson , a newcomer from Texas." used dropkicks in the sixth round to take the deciding fall from Alt Pasha, the turbaned and villain ous Hindu. Pasha gained the initial fall in the second round with a bear hug and body press, with Wilson coming back to even the score with a head scissors in the third canU. Wilson displayed a nice variety of lean and legitimate maneuvers. COUNTESS OF WARWICK, FAMOUS HOSTESS, DIES, liWiuuw. juiy ae. (AP) Frances, countess of Warwick.

It ls amazing how closely local fight fans follow the selections as ex posed in this column occasionally. For Instance, the oter day a pretty shrewd boxing expert walked up to us on the street and wanted to know who did we like In the Seattle brawl. When we answered Hostak, the guy got a funny look on his face and hurried away. Five minutes later we saw him In a pool hall trying to hedge on a wager he had made on Hostak. Another local gentleman who Is noted for his astuteness In picking prizefights collared us recently and asked how we fig ured the fight. Upon learning that Hostak was our hoy, the fellow's fare simply nidlated Joy and good will. He slapped us on the hack and laughted gleefully. He was betting on Steele, he ex plained. It seems that everyone wants to know who we pick so that he . can go and lay a little sugar on the oth er fellow. It la- apparent that our record of having never picked a prlzo flght correctly ls a matter of com mon knowledge and gossip around town. Maybe it should be most dis couraging; but it Isn't. For, there will come a time when we hit a fight right on the old head. And, when Uiat time comes you boys who have made our prognosticating the basis for moan and nasty remarks better stay out of our path, that's all. Arba Ager, Ashland third baseman, wasn't exactly playing smart base ball Sunday when he laid down a sacrifice bunt In the ninth Inning and his team 14 runs behind. By no stretch of the imagination could Ar ba's action be termed anything but squlrrely, so far as heads-up baseball Is concerned. However, in tails case, Ager had a perfectly legitimate reason for sac rificing a couple of base-runners up a notch, and nobody in Ashland blamed him a bit for doing what, or dinarily, would have brought booe from the stands and much manager ial wrath. Arba, going to the plate for the last time In the ninth In ning, had pasted the agate for five nits In five times at bat until then He had complied what all batsmen long and dream for a perfect day at the platter, and as Arba Isn't an es pecially strong hitter the record was extremely satisfying. ' Now. that sixth time at the plate worried Arba. If he connected for another basehlt all would be well; he'd still have his perfect day. But, if he didn't get another safety, the perfect day would be ruined and he'd have nothing to tell his grand-children. He asked Manager Leonard Hall to put In a plnch-hltter for him, and the Llthlan skipper refused. He pleaded, but to no avail. He didn't want to bat for the sixth time, and he wasn't ashamed to admit It. Flve-for-flve perfect days are mighty few and far between. So, arter long and deliberate thought. Arba decided there was only one nay out. If he had to bat, he'd do It, hut in such a way that It wouldn't appear os a le gal time at hat In the box score. So, he went up there and dump edneat sacrifice hunt In front of the plate, saving for himself . mighty sweet record of one day's batting action.

Deo writes: 'I guess that protest business Is still bothering me. Any way Clarence Ross, our umpire, wroe to John B. Foster, editor of Spauld ing's official baseball guide, giving the details of how tfe ball hit Ferm Mr. Foster answered that when a player was running away from a thrown ball it could not be railed Intentional Interference, no matter where he carried his hands. There fore, the runner wolud be safe and tie ball still in play." Which Is Interesting enough, alright, but not the basis for the protest, Roy. It wasn't so murh a question of intentional or un intentional Interference as It was the fart that another runner scored on the play while Crescent City players were completely sur rounding home plate. Illegally so we all believe over here. Anyway, the game Is long over and better be forgotten. HOW THEY? CTA A V v m mm am m American League W. h. Pet.

(UP) Odds changed to even money last night for the world's middleweight boxing championship fight tonight between Champion Freddie Steele of Tacoma and Challenger Al Hostak or Seattle. Until the fighters completed their training Steclo reigned a 10 to 8 and 10 to 9 favorite. Because ooth men are heavy hit ters, a knockout waa predicted freely. Jack Dempsey, former heavyweight champion of the world, who will referee, said he looked for a knock out In tho 11th or 12th sounds. ."All I've been doing ls practicing how to count 10.' Dempsey said. When you place two such tough punchers in the ring, something is bound to happen and fast." Steele, 26 years old, who has been fighting since he was 15, was confi dent of victory. He won the. cham pionship two years ago from Eddie iBnbe) Rlsko. "I don't see how I can Jose." Steele said.
