Willie Ritola, Who Spends His

New York, June 2O.-lF,-The
steeplechase, spectacular event
that is neglected in this country for
no apparent reason, looms as a cut
and dried vehicle Of victory for Fin
lands rugged runners again.
Willie Ritola. Wandering Willie, /"
who spends his time carpentering in
the United States between Olym-
pads, won the 3.OOO-meter steeple-
chase in the last Olympics in easy
style, with his countryman. Katz,
runner-up and the first American,
Marvin Rick Of Princeton, in fourth
place.
Ritola not only will be back to
defend his title over the hurdles
and water jumps at Amsterdam but
will be aided, if not beaten, by his
countryman. Paavo Nurmi, essay
ing new Olympic test.
With the cross-country off the
program this year Paavo is turn
ing to the chase in order to keen
himself busy. The distance is Just
romp for Nurmi. He has never
had much difficulty defeating Ritola
at other distances and events so he
likely will be favorite to keep his
slate clean, although Ritola is par
tial to the steeplechase.
1t would be the most sensational
sort of an upset for any American
to break up this Finnish combina-
ton. None has been able to beat
Ritola in this country so it isn't
likely they can do it abroad.
Nevertheless there are potential

TO RING W AIRS
AGAINST NEGRO
Cleveland Baker Boy, Follow
ing Richards Advice, Meets
Godfrey Tonight

New York, June 2O.-R-Ad-
vised by Tex Richard to keep on
fighting if he hopes to get a shot
at the heavyweight title, Johnny
Risko, the Cleveland baker boy, re-
turns to the fistic wars tonight in
q 1O-round bout with George God
frey, giant negro.
Johnny fought his way through
Richards winter elimination tourna-
ment and ended with slightly high
err percentage than Tom Heeney,
who meets Gene Tunney for the
title here on July 26. Risko lost a
decision to Heeney at Detroit be-
fore the tournament started, so the
New Zealand blacksmith plucked
the prize plum. Johnny won but he
didn't get anything.
Richard told Johnny to keep on
winning bouts and perhaps he'd
get his chance next year.
Risko is needing this advice but
he's fighting Godfrey at Ebbets
Field for none other than Humbert
J. Fugazy, Richards metropolitan
promoterial rival. Godfrey has
been doing all the serious "black
menacing" since Harry Wills was
forced into retirement. His great
size and a decision victory over
Pauline Uzcudun, the battling
Basque, have made him q z to S
favorite over Risko. Boxing critics
generally feel, however, that Risko
would outspeed and outpunch the
big negro and gallop off with the
decision.
Godfrey will scale in the neigh
borhood Of 235 pounds to 1872 for
Risko; he will have six inches edge
on the baker boy in height and s
1-2 inches in reach.

California has Just begun to row.
The new intercollegiate champions.
instead Of resting on the spectacular
and record breaking hOnors they
gained over Columbia and five other
rivals in the mist and rain last
evening. now look forward to world
comprising laurels in the forthcom-

On the strength of their startling
exhibition Of stamina in outrow-
ing the champion Columbans and
of speed in SCATTERING the 27-year-
old record for the four-mile varsity
classic. the Golden Bears seemed to
be the most formidable entry for
the trials that will he held on the
Schuylkill river. at Philadelphia,
July 6 and Z, to select the American
crew for the Olympic regatta at
Amsterdam.
CALIFORNIA; astonishing triumph
In the climax race Of the intercolleg-
late championship regatta was
scored over the grueling four lille
route, whereas the Olympic tests
are at 1000 meters or approxi-
mately a mile and a quarter. 1t
means that the bears now must cut
down their racing strategy and
form from the endurance distance to
the sprint route. but none of the
dripping crowd of $4,000 spectators
who saw them win heartbreaking
race last evening doubts their abil-
ity to do it.
Columbia Fights
The Bears beat fine crew in the
Columbia eight, the boatload that
won the race year ago. a gallant
outfit that went down fighting to
the last ditch and that will give
California or any other crew a right
to compete in the Olympics.
California beat Columbia by bare

champions hung up new four mile
