Hahn and Peltzer May
Not Meet Until July

New York, Jan. 2S.-(AP)-Lloyd
Hahn Of Falls City, Neb.. and DR..
Otto Pelzer Of Germany may have
to wait until the Olympics to meet
each other on the race track.
Permission for DR.. Peltzer to run
in the United States. which finally
has been received from the body

many, brought immediate prospects
that one of the three races in
which he was to be allowed to COM
pete would pit the German holder Of
the worlds 880-yard, 500, 500, and
1500-meter records against Amer
ica's great middle distance star.
Later, however, United States
Athletic Union officials frowned
on the idea Of allowing Peltzer to
race here on the ground he might
be injured by running on a board
track and lost to the German Olym-
pic team.
The two have never met. Ger
many was not entered in the last
Olympics in which Hahn competed
and DR.. Peltzer who has risen to
track fame rapidly was little known
at that time anyway.

given about an even chance to win.
Hahn, who last winter defeated
the Swedish schoolmaster, Edwin
Wide, in a mile race and came with
in a fifth Of a second Of the record
held by Paavo Nurmi, is at his best
on the boards while Peltzer prefers
to run on cinders in the open air.
Another thing in HahnS favor is
the fact that he has been training
carefully for weeks and has run in
some fast races already this season.
Peltzer, his activities restrained by
his country's authorities, has done
no running since he arrived here
early in December except for q
quarter-mile done under wraps as
q good-natured exhibition at the
New York schoolboy meet Decep-
Der 10. The German, however, says
he is always in condition.
Among the scheduled meets which

Rehres From International Polo Competition
LEROY BALKS over
POSTING FORFEIT
FOR PETR0LLE MIX
For Unknown Reason Blonde
Battler Refuses to Guar
antee Appearance

One detail Of minor Importance
generally when fistic matches are
made may ruin Jack Hurley's efforts
to show Billy Petrolle and Russie
Leroy in Fargo early next month
the posting Of suitable forfeits to
bind the match.
In order to arrange the contest,
Hurley has agreed to let the blonde
Dakotan weigh 40 pounds at 3
D. M, the day Of the fight, and will
pay him 81 10000 or Is per cent Of
the gross receipts. Leroy accepted
these terms readily, as 1t represents
an unusually large purse for . 10
round no decision contest.
However, Hurley asked Leroy to
post forfeit Of $4,000, guarantee
ing weight and appearance. Here,
Leroy baked again and Hurley de-
clared that this would be one argu-
ment he would win or there would
be no contest.
Whenever matches Of any i'm
portance are made, the promoters
demand forfeits big enough to pro-
tect themselves in case either fight
er decides at the last minute not ia
appear, or fails to make the re-
quired weight.
Leroy Is Unreasonable
"LeRoy certainly is the most un.
reasonable fighter I ever did bust
ness WITH" Hurley said today in
speaking of the match. 1--WE al.
ready guaranteed him bigger purse
than he can get at any other place
in the United States, or Canada for
that matter, and I'm letting him
start against Petrolle with weight
advantage which will be greater than
five pounds when the gong rings ia
start them in action.
"All ask in return is a safe
guarantee that there will be no
run-out on the last day. It costs
at least $4,000 to stage a fight pro-
gram in Fargo before paying any
of the fighters, and if there's to be
a last minute loss through LeRoy's
failure to live up to his contract,
then I want to be protected"
Leroy emphatically declined to
post forfeit today, but reiterated
that he is willing to meet Petrolle
under the terms Of the contract
offered by Hurley. The promoter
said that he will have one last talk
with Leroy, and if definite agree
ment is not reached by that time,
then there will be no contest.

that q change was made and Stew

With . few minor exceptions they
are the only games that are palysd

al over the world and their trophies,
the international polo cup and the
Davis tennis cup, are the most

The only hope that foreign ma

figured that when Milburn and TIL

STOPS
BACKLEY WITH
HEART PUNCH
Paul Sides Shades Orrie Bald
win on Haxen Card-Three
Draws Voted

Bat Krause, veteran welterweight
mitt tosser Of Hazen, knocked out
Frank Backley, Aberdeen battler, in
the fourth round Of . ten round 60
1t Hazen Thursday night. Krause
proved too tough for the Aberdeen
speed merchant and Backley began
to slip in the third stanza. A large
crowd attended the bout.
The Aberdeen puncher was on the
floor three times in the fatal fourth
before Krause fastened q hook on
Backley's anatomy that kept the
Aberdeen stoneman on the mat. The
Hazen battler used his ring expe-
rience to good advantage, although
he absorbed q few punches to keep
his record for toughness intact.
Paul Sides shaded Orric Baldwin
in their ten round 60. Sides was
in much the better condition at the
close, although neither puncher was
able to stow away his foeman. They
weighed in Thursday afternoon at
40 pounds.
The remaining preliminari.s were
draws with Tony Kipp, Hazen's
fighting butcher boy, tlashing with
Barney Huber Of Mannhaven,
through eight rounds. Both are
middleweights.
Ranold Kelley and T. Gallagher
also fought draw in six rounds of
fistcuffs. Hazen's midget battlers
staged six rounds Of preliminarics
in the curtain raising events.
The card was one Of the best bal
anced and best attended ever given
in Hazen from reports received.
"A dance given later in the eve
ming rounded out festivities for the
evening of entertainment in Hazen
and its locality.

a see-saw affair throughout, and
was decided in the last inning.
Bland started on the mound
for Tucson and lasted seven in
nings. In this frame, the Bis
beetles got on his deliveries for
four runs, and Van Camp, who
went to stem the tide, was touch
ed for a run before the side was
retired.
Van Camp pitched for another
inning, and in the ninth, Diego
Carrillo was sent into the box by
Coach Andy Tolson. This move
was fatal. however, as the Bisbee
team gathered two hits off the
deliveries of Diego, and coupled
with bad error by Marufo, gave
the Pumas two runs, enough to
win the game.
