Hogan Equals -Century Mark SYDNEY, Australia 0B Hec tor Hosan, Australia's sensational young runner, equalled the woId 100-yard record d! 09.3 seconds Saturday. , The mark was set by America's Mel Palton on May 15, 1948, at Fresno, Calif. Hogan established his time in an Invitation race on a grass track of the Sydney sports ground. The New York Yankees were the "walkingest" team In the American League in 1953.

It's a fact that the contortionists consistently have outdrawn the boys who cover thier fists with leather thongs and maul each oth er according to the Marquis' of Queensberry. CONTRAST Contrast the desultory crowds at the fights each Friday night in Madison Square Garden with the sellout crowds that greet Verne Gagne and his barefoot sidekick from Argentina, Antonlno Rocca, every time they trade growls in the same arena. Among the ethnic groups that populate sports, there are none mere delightful than the wrest lers. Lisping Lou Thesz can de scribe the functions of the deltoid muscle with more aplomb than a street-corner vendor. Satchel Paige may credit his longevity to the fact he doesn't sn-irj' up the blood. But Kola Kwerlnni, a perfectly bald Rus sian .who antedates Old Batch and still performs on the mat, can reduce it to capillaries by virtue ms medical training In old Tiflls. - BUM! Anent Hickman, Kwerlanl has a quaint dismissal term:. "He's a bum!" Tne knockers, of wrestling also tend to overlook the delightful people who populate, the tin-ear arenas and who have made Jack Brickhouse their Arthur Godfrey. wno would deny a pacifist grandma a night off from her knitting needle , to release her paranoia, with a hall of invective directed at villainous Hans Schmidt? Or, on a particularly uninhibited night, clout him over the head with a folding chair? At 100 grand a year, Hans isn't kicking. , SCHISM And how about that diverting schism Gagne created among the population of Blnghamton, N.Y. They go lor him, young and old, up there. But in the Btnghamtan fan club dedicated to the idoliza tion of Gagne, the young people didn't like the encroachment of their elders, so huffily formed their own group. Now we have Verne Gagne Club No. 1 and Verne Gagne Club No. 2 . That beats even Eddie Fisher. But, you might ask. is it dedi cated to the perpetration of sport? Now let's not spoil all the fun.
