Dodgers In Tough
Spot; Cards Next
Brooklyn Loses Again to Cubs;
Reds Take Boston; Phils Victors
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS

The Brooklyn Dodgers have run into the first real rough
spot since the National league season began and their path to
the pennant promises to get even moro difficult Wednesday when
they open a two-game series with the league leading St. Louis
Cardinals.
LA: Waits
"Olympics"
Top Track Talent Listed
For Coliseum Saturday
LOS ANGELES. May 21 (X)
For an event appearing on the
nation's track and field schedule
for the first time, the Los Ange
les coliseum relays seem to have
done very well in corralling the
finest talent in the country,
The meet goes on in the coll
seum Saturday. Pick your lead
ing athlete and it's nine to one
he'll be here, performing in the
same spot where the 1932 Olym
pic games were held. The same
group of sportsmen who staged
that attraction, incidentally, are
backing this inaugural relays.
Several events vie for top
billing. One is the pole vault,
which will find Cornelius Warm
erdam, who punctured the 15-
foot ceiling myth, competing
against Earl Meadows, who used
to share the world record at 14
feet 11 inches. It still stands on
the record books, but Warmer-
dam has done 15 feet 21 inches,
and may improve on that this
weekend.

Hilarious Story of Whirly's
$2500 Belmont Victory Told
NEW YORK, May 21 (IP)
The hilarious story back of the
$50,000 race that Belmont park
got for $2500 was told today af
ter Whirlaway had won the "pre
view" of what might well be a
good-sized piece of the year's
racing championship.
After his easy decision yester
day over Charley Howard's Mio
land, the only horse still stand
ing in whacky Whirly's way this
year appeared to be George D.
Widener's Eight Thirty. The
chances are the two won't tangle
until the Pimlico special in No
vember, for Whirlaway will
spend the next couple of months
banging at his own three-year-old
league, probably slartlng
again Friday in the $7500 added
Peter Pan handicap at Belmont
unless something happens to
him before then.
But behind yesterday's race
itself were (1) the frantic efforts
of at least two trainers to scratch
their horses, because they hadn
realized what they were run'
ning into, and (2) the lucky
break for Belmont when a $2500
overnight allowanco affair pop
ped up with a field that would
have done credit to any $50,000
stake.
The mile and a sixteenth at'
fair was listed as an overnight
allowance, with no Importance.
But Trainers Ben Jones for
Whirlaway, Tom Smith for Mio-
land. Bill Mulholland for Your
Chance, and Jim Caver for Hash
All, got the idea it was a good
opportunity for a "conditioner
for the campaign ahead. The
only thing wrong with the idea
was that all of them got It a
the same time. Since the win
ncr's end of the thing amounted
to only $1650, they didn't figure
it was worth running for, but
Belmont officials said there
could be no scratches unless the
condition of the track changed
before post time.

Ito Flattens
Piluso After
Big Battle
Pair Left in Ring At
End of Moss Fight; Hoff
nor, Chick Also Winners
BY BOB GLENNON
, Tnro Ito, the squatty, grinning
Japanese wrestler from Hono
lulu, combined all the unscru
pulous methods In his villainous
repertoire with tho cunning of
his Oriental background to de
feat Ernie Piluso, affable Klam
ath Falls grappler. In tho final
main event of a throe-way show
last night at tho armory arena.
Piluso and Ito, the lust two
of six men to survive a battle
royal which oponed tho evening's
program, stagod a fnst-moving
duel that had partisan fans sit
ting on tho edges of their scats
throughout the performance.
Even after tho fcntlvltles had of
ficially closed Piluso, victim of
a surprise third fall, clouted Ito
over the head with a chair when
the latter attempted to sneak up
behind him as ho was leaving tho
ring.
Leg Twist
First fall of the Ito-Ptluso clash
went to the Japnncso In 8:40 of
the hour time limit affair as he
clamped on a leg twist that made
Ernie conccdo tho initial round.
Taro so Incensed the local Ital
ian during tho ensuing minutes
of tho tussle that Piluso began
bouncing off the ropes In his
favorito maneuver, a scries of
flying tackles, and easily pinned
Ito with a body press after a
little less than six minutes to
annex tho second 'fall of the
match.
The bout appeared all to be In
Plluso's favor near the end as
the boys were sparring for an
opening that would bring about
the third and deciding fall. And
Ernie seemed to have the win
all but tucked away as he tied
Ito up in the ropes and started
a group of dropklcks. Tho last
ono, however, backfired and Ito
managed to get untangled from
the hemp to fall on top of the
luckless Italian, hold him to the
canvas with a body press and
score a victory.
Chick Eliminated
As the battle royal opened
there was much speculation as to
what group of men would gang
up on another clique, but few
spectators dreamed that Cowboy
Dude Chick, the Pacific coast
Junior heavyweight champion
would be the first man eliminat
ed. But such was the outcome
as Gus Johnson, the aggressive
Norwegian from St. Paul, put
him down with a hammerlock
and the other four men piled on
top to send the champ to the
dressing rooms only 61 seconds
after the show had begun.
Johnson was next to go as lio
boro him to the boards and tho
other three contestants oblig
ingly dog-plled Gus to send him
from the arena, Gil Knudson,
blonde Norwegian, was unablo to
recover from choke holds ad
ministered by Cowboy Jim Huff
nor and was the third man elimi
nated. Only One Fall
Dude Chick and Gus Johnson
put on a scientific battle for two
rounds of their match. Then tho
cowboy seized his opportunity, a
chance for the alrplano spin,
and polished off his opponent
with the sickening, twirling
movement. Thero was only ono
full.
Jim Hcffner convincingly de
feated Gil Knudson In tho second
pairing of tho night with choke
holds which thoroughly put tho
201-pound Norwegian out of
commission,
