MARATHON CALLS
YOUTH AND AGE
More Than 200 Runners Will
Compete For Olympic Team
on Pilgrim Soil
BY WILLIAM r. KING
Press Sports Writer)


Boston, April 13.-(F1-The call
of the Boston marathon has been
sounded and some 200 youngsters
and few oldsters have answered
that they will be on the starting
line in Hopkinton at noon on April
10 to strive for a place on the
American Olympic long-distance
team.
Among the oldsters are the vet
eran Clarence H. DcMar of Mel
rose, Mass, and the grey-haired
Bill Kennedy, of Port Chester, N.
Y, both of whom will attempt for
the tenth time the long grind of
20 miles, 385 yards from Hopkinton
to Boston. DeMar is the favorite,
despite his 40 years, and Kennedy,
severa! years his senior, is an out
standing contender.
Ten years ago Kennedy, then
known as "Bill Bricklayer" ad-
mitted he was SO years old. Every
year since then he has refused to
acknowledge that he has grown
any older. His application blank
this year stated that he was again
"38.'
Years Improve DeMars
While Kennedy's age has remain
ed stationary, DeMar's running
ability has improved with the
years. That veteran has won the
classic five times, in 1911, 1922,
1923, 1924 and 1927, and. holds the
race record Of hours, 40 minutes,
% 1-5 seconds. DeMar was second
in 1910 and 1925 and third in 1917
and 1926.
Kennedy, although he has finish
ed well up :, front every year, has
won the race but once, in 1917
He is ambitious to run in an Olym.
pic marathon, having been just
edged out in 1920 and again in 1924
DeMar's ambition is to win ar
Olympic marathon. He barely
missed out at Antwerp four years
ago. Since then he has been train
ing daily for the long race at Am.
sterdam next summer.
Many Strong Runners
The only other Boston marathon
winner entered this year is Frank
Zuna, although there are many
strong runners who have placed
well in former years. Among these
are Whitley Nicholson of Stamford
Conn.,, and Major Ramsdale, whe
heads the Nova Scotian delegation.
i Johnny Miles of Hamilton, Cape
Breton, who won the Boston race
in 1926, and Cliff Bricker of Gait
Ont, his Canadian teammate, will
be missing this year, as the Can
adian Olympic officials have order
ed them to remain out to conserve
their energies for the Amsterdam
final.
!, The Nova Scotian delegation
however, will be large again thil
year, as entries have been receive,
from Billy Taylor of Sydney Mines
Steddy Campbell, Florence, Cap
Breton; John Macdonald, Donal,
Young, Raymond Hamilton, all O
Halifax; William Cochrane Of Wind
sor, N. S., Silas Mcclellan Of Noe
and William Holmes. Thorburn.

K0WALSKI GETS
DRAW DECISION
WITH KRAUSE
Cans Refuses OF Meet Hazea
Battler and Moorhead Pug
Substitutes

Bad weather almost wrecked Nick
Sardotz' fight card at Hazen last
night when the roads held up the
appearance of two of the scheduled
scrappers and cut down the attend
ance.
Substituting for Dago Joe Cans,
veteran st. Paul ringster, who re-
fused to meet Bat Krause at the last
minute, Fritz Kowalski, q tough
hombre from Moorhead, Mimi,
fought ten rounds to q draw with
the famous Bat.
Allentown Jack Shelly took q trip
to Dickinson the early part Of this
week and found himself stranded in
the face Of q semi-blizzard that
swept the Slope country for time
yesterday.
Shelly was supposed to meet Ora
Baldwin and Mickey Muelin, Moor
head boy who accompanied Kowal-
ski as q second, was called upon to
fill the bill. Baldwin easily out
pointed the Minnesota battler.
Smiths Draw
Cyclone Smith of Expansion and
Wildcat Smith of Beulah like the
famous coughdrops occupied the
same package with little superiority
one way or another. At the end Of
the six rounds of torrid mixing, Ref
cree John Smith called it q draw.
Opponents of the Eckroth boys Of
Mandan got cold feet at the pros
pect Of meeting a duo that has
gained considerable ring fame here
abouts and the Mandan twins had to
stage another of their rousing
brotherly affairs.
Irish McFee, the Sioux Falls
fighter, was likewise hung up by
the weather and Tony Kipp went
begging for an opponent.

Tackling Dummy Not
So Dumb in Hawaii

Honolulu, Apr. 13.-(R-The sta
tionary tackling dummy, long fix
ture of college football, has been
banished forever from the t1njning
field Of the University of Hawaii.
In its place is a movable dummy
which through q clever mechanism
produces for the practicing. foot
baller all the elements encountered
in scrimmage except the straight
arm.
The new device is operated from
a center pivot by a man who makes
it his business to see that the dune
my is not where the tackler thinks
it is. The long arm from which
the dummy hangs moves easily on
a ball bearing pivot. A patent de-
vice drops it to the ground when
tackled and spring hauls it back
into position when the tackler re-
leases it.
Blaine Klum, Oakland, CAL,
brother of Coach Klum of the Uni
vcrsity Of Hawaii, is the inventor.

(Rv The Associated Press)

=
Grover Cleveland Alexander still
wears with dignity the appellation OF
"Alex the Great"
The burden Of Al summers. not to
mention winters, apparently rests
lightly upon the broad shoulders of
this old knight of the baseball wars.
Entering upon his 18th major
league season, he turned back the
champion Pirates without run in
the lists at st. Louis yesterday
while his Cardinal mates triumpned
by s to 0.
Alexander's effectiveness in keep
inr the Cofsairs' seven singles well
acsttered puts . more threatening
aspect on the Cardinal pennant
hopes. Figuring exhibition per-
formances in the spring training ex-
ercises. it marked nineteen scoreless
innings for the veteran right hand
ar. Alexander convinced the fans
that he retsins his superb control Of
curves and speed.
Frisck Flashes Again
frankie Frisch, the Fordham
flash, came in for his share Of hon
ora in making the Buccaneers walk
the plank BY producing his second
home run in o many days scoring
behind Holm who had tripled.
Opposing Old Alex on the hill was
Burleixh Grimes who was back in
Pittsburgh harness after an absence
Of ten years during which time he
nIaved with the Robins and Giants.
Incidentally, Johnny Gooch was
backstopping for the spit-baller and
IL II understood he will have that as
sienment permanently.
The Cincinnati Redlegs jolted the
Chicago Cubs for the second consec-
utive day, this time by 8 to 3, six
run furry IN the eighth inning
breaking . tie Of three-all. With
the bases loaded and two down in
the eighth, English bungled in field
inr Kelly's roller allowing run to
trickle in. Before the Bruins re.
covered their poise, the warriors had
piled on five more tallies to put the
game on ice.
Browns Upset Dope
Although the experts relocated
the st. Louis Browns to the lowest
subway level Of the American
league circuit, they broke out in
typical Missourian manner with an
other decision over the Detroit Tig.

knows the hardships Of the path
from promoter to promoter with a
fighter who is not established un-
til he has tried it.
Harvey went the rounds, day by
day, but no promoter would give his
fighter, Heeney, a tumble. British
heavyweights had low rating.
HARVEY had suffered rating also
from his long association with bum
fighters. They were glad to see
Charley but they couldn't do any
thing for him.
Heeney Gets Match
Then Harvey finally got Heeney
a match with Charlie Anderson, q
ham colored fighter, and Heeney
stopped him in five rounds. He
didn't crash into the first pages
but he attracted some attention in
the racket. He was a Jimmie
fighter who wasn't knocked out.
He looked like a prospect. 8
Heency had enough to live or
for while after that fight but
the same old dodge came when he
tried to get some more matches
Then the kind wolves started after
him.

This month of June brings to re-
membrance the heavenly birthday
of my father. June IL, just five
years ago, he departed this life, af-
ter reaching the age of II years, 10
days before his death. Capt. Isaac
A. Burton was the son of Isaac e.
and Albert Elizabeth L. Burton, who
moved to the farm of over 300 acres
in Cedar Neck, about the year 1886.
AS the homestead was situated in
view of the Atlantic Ocean, possibly
the desire to sail the deep blue sea
was awakened in the hearts of the
three sons, who were reared on the
farm, until they were II years Of
age. 1t was then Henry, Isaac and
Joshua embarked on the sailing YES
sci that came into the inlet and
took passengers to Philadelphia.
Two daughters, Lizzie and Hettie,
remained at home with their moth
er, who was now a widow. The faith
er died when the son Isaac was IL
years of age. My father, by close
application and desire for know
ledge, reached the position of cap
tain. Isaac A Burton gave evil
dence that he was master of any
steam vessels on the Delaware riv-
er, bay and tributaries on the At
lantic Coast, between York River,
Maine, and Cape Charles, Va, and
first class pilot of same, according
to his license granted by the U. S.
inspectors, for five years, ending
1922 He left to survive him one
daughter, Mrs. Ethel Davidson, who
became Mrs. Ebe Davidson in 1922.
His wife, Anna Mathers, died two
months prior. The happiest mo-
ments of my life and my mothers
life, was when my father became a
christian. Oh, how hard he strug-
gled to gain salvation. He died in
the faith, 1 believe his soul is anch-
ored in the haven of rest.
Joshua Wharton will attend the
University of Delaware for few
