SOUTH BEND. Ind. Aug. l.
Percy Williams of Vancouver. Brit
ISL Columbia. winner Of the 100
meter and 2O0-meter sprintS at the
Olympic games in Amsterdam last
summer. proved the other day that
ne was still champion. His victory
over Wykoff Of Glendale. Cal. and
Tolan Of Michigan in the 10O-yard
dash. while not particularly unex-
pected. showed two things.
First of all, that Williams is still
a champion. Second. his margin of
victory over Wykoff and Tolan was
so Slight that it proved their class.
1t was distinctly disappointing that
Simpson Of Ohio State was unable
to turn at either the A. A. U. meet
or against Williams. What a clas-
sic that would have been.
Up in Canada, Williams has been
handicapped by a dearth OF compe-
tition which has not given him
much of a chance to do the running
necessary to keep him in top form
and to keep his interest whetted.
What 8 stimulus 10 interested
sprint racers there would be should
young Williams decide to continue
his college education at some COL
lege in the United States.

N@AoooShHtSo Atoo oPOA eo vsAssSAt
 NEW YORK, Sept. 11-They're carving a special niche in the fistic hall of fame for "Keed" Choco- late, grinning negro boy from Cuba, the "fightinest" bit of dusky ring machinery since the days of George Dixon and Joe Cans.
 A year ago the ebony enigma, still a shade under 20 years old though he claims officially to have reached his majority, drifted into New York from Havana, unaccom- panied by any of the trumpeting of the ballyhood horns that usually greets leather pushing invaders. The "Keed" was more than pleased to fight as often as anyone would use him for $50 per fight.
 Today the situation is somewhat different. The picturesque choco- late drop, elusive as sm oky shadow, swift, keen, and a deadly accurate puncher, has climbed the popularity trail so rapidly that his last pay check was slightly over $50,000 for disposing of Al Singer, the second Benny Leonard in the eyes of Jewish fandom.
 The "Keed" has a ring person. ality to couple with his fighting ability that has made him an amazingly popular figure His body glistens black under the ring flood lights like slender, polish staff of black maple. His wide smile, chang ing quickly to grim snarl when the going gets rough, bares glist ening white teeth and he rolls the whites of his eyeballs in apprecia- tion when in rare moments an opponent reaches him with solid

punch.
 Chocolate, whose real name is Eligio Sardinias, probably will nev- CT grow out of the featherweight class with it's limit of 128 pounds. He has matured rapidly, though outdoor training may build up enough poundage to lift him into the lightweight division.
 In his present class, however, there is little opposition for him. The smiling "Keed' has whipped almost every man of importance in the bantamweight class and his de- cisive victory over Singer, one of the very best of the little fellows develped in many years, stamps him as the outstanding feather weight Singer only a little while ago knocked out Andre Routis, the 126-pound king, in two rounds of a non- title scrap.
 In ring technique, Chocolate com pares favorably with any of the great negro masters who have pre- ceded him He is a grand counter fighter, able to feint the smartest opponents into making his sort of battle and just the proper openings for his best punches. When the opening comes the "Keed' drives his leather home with the speed of a spear thrust. Within another year or so he has the opportunity of stamping himself the greatest of all negro boxers, worthy success sor to the Hitting shadows that have dominated the ring at rare intervals.
