nera's hand as signal of victory. Perry had merely been hired for the evening and had no authority to throw in a towel.
 Just after Perry surrendered the fight, l attempted to get into the ring to protest, but was pushed back by the mob rushing the ring. Somebody hit Perry in the eye and before I could protest the decision was made.
 ] have not been able to make myself believe Perry was Fin on the fight despite the claim of Chevalier that he rubbed a burn ing substance in his eyes. I think Perry probably unintentionally put vaseline in Chevalier's eyes
 McGrath Kept in Dark
 If Leon was approached by others to put the fight in the bag as he says, he should have told me, his manager. This he did not Mrs. Chevalier told the boxing commission someone had approach ed her with offers to frame the fight. but she didn't tell me.
 "Bombo" is a good boy. I have managed him for three years and he never has thrown a fight or taken a dive. He is the first man in this country to knock Camera him yet.
 When the fight was so abruptly terminated, l thought Leon was good for several more rounds, as Camera was in not much better condition than my man. Perry says his conscience caused him to throw in the towel when he thought Leon was taking a beating. Leon got up as strong as ever after that knockdown in the sixth.
 No Match for Godfrey
 Sarnera is a greatly overrated fighter. 1 do not regard him IS championship caliber at all. They talk Of matching him with George Godfrey, when Chevalier. who was knocked out recently by Godfrey in the fourth round. was giving Fl Primo just as good as he sent
 Chevalier's speed was making Camera look slow and awkward Chevalier's successful defensive tactics reduced my estimate of the Italian Giant a great deal. In re- turn engagement, I believe "Bom- bo' would knock the big stiff out.

flying rings and in tumbling events against Chicago only a few days aft CT he had captured first place in the half-mile race of a, dual meet with Carleton.
 Marquette's star half-miler bowed to Moulton, but the IoHan was fore cd to take second in the conference indoor mark, trailing Orval Martin of Purdue by few yards.
 Short an experienced lead off man for the mile relay quartet in the H. linois Relay Carnival, Coach Bresna- han brought his senior star down to the quarter mile. Moulton ran tho distance in 51 seconds. faster than any of his teammates. A week later he ran anchor for the two mile relay team.
 Drafted to fill in on the sprint relay team, Moulton stepped the ll0- yard distance at both the Texas and Southern Methodist relays. then came back to run lead of. in the mile event.
 Bresnahan declares Moulton is one of those natural runners who knows how to find burst of speed for his rhythmic stride and who is wise in the lore of the middle dis tance mans judgment of pace. The distance matters little to Moulton just so he gets to run some sort of a race from week to week.

YOUNGSTERS ARE
 PICKED FOR TEAM
Members Of United States Davis Cup Team Are Announced

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va, April 2S R-The task of protecting Uncle Sam's interests in American zone Davis cup competition has been entrusted to a quartet of tennis youngsters.
 Joseph W. Wear of Philadelphia, chairman of the Davis cup commit. tee of the United States Lawn Ten his association. announced here yes tcrday that the team which faces Canada in a first round cup tie at Philadelphia next month would con- sist of John Doeg, Santa Monica, , Cal, George Lott, Chicago, Wilmer Allison, Austin, Texas, and John Van Ryn, Orange, N. J. Doeg, ranked third in the national list, and Lott, No. i, will play in singles and Van Ryn and Allison, Wimble- don champions, the doubles. Van Ryn is ranged No. and Allison No. !.
 Wears announcement came as d climax to the singles finals of the Mason and Dixon tennis tournament in which Van Ryn defeated Allison 4-6, 7-5, l2-10, 6-l.
 i These two youngsters, who scored a brilliant victory in the doubles ot l the Davis cup challenge round against France last year. waged great battle for singles honors for three sets but Allison weakened badly in the final set and Van Ryn 1 won it without trouble. Both had been giant-killers in the preliminary rounds of the tournament. Allison whipped both Lott and Doeg and Van Ryn eliminated the No. ? rank ing star. Frank Hunter, in the semi l finals.
 The Davis cup team as selected probably will remain intact during the entire 1880 campaign. The four players will be sent to Surope, ac- companied by Berkeley Bell of Aus tin. Texas, named d alternate.
 The Davis cup committee chair mans decision to use Lott in the American zone play forced the Chi cagoan to give up his plans of play ing in the French and Belgian championships, in which he was to have competed as the official repre- sentative of the P. S. L. T. A. Van Ryn, Allison and Lott all were members of the 1929 United States Davis cup team but Doeg is Q newcomer. He takes the place of John Henncssey, Indianapolis vet l eran.
 The team as selected is the youngest that has represented this country in many years. All of its members are under 25 years of age. | Whether Bill Tilden will be asked to join the team to compete in Eu- rope, providing it survives American zone play, remains to be seen. Mr. Wear said he would cross that bridge when he came to it. For the present he said he understood that Tilden was determined not to play any moro Davis cup tennis.

new and dominating figure has burst into the colorful picture of track and field athletics. He is George Sidney Simpson, Ohio State university senior and undisputed champion of the world.
 Such illustrious stars of the past as Kelly, Drew. Paddock, Locke, Borah and Hubbard have dimmed before the brilliant performances of the new fastest human" who, with his 94 seconds 100" erased from the books a record that had with stood the assaults of a quarter cen- tury.
 A Sprinter, Through and Through
 Curiously, Simpson combines the best features of dash men of the past. He has the dynamic speed of Roland Locke, the bounding stride of DeHart Hubbard and the whirl- wind finish of Charlie Paddock. The smoothness that marked the running of Drew of Southern California is lacking in Simpsons style, as is the sheer strength that Billy Hayes of Notre Dame carried from the foot ball field to the cinder path with such marked success. There is miss ing also the explosive start that won Hubbard of Michigan so many races and brought success to Jack Elder of Notre Dame.
 Simpson, in the final analysis. Is simply Simpson. He has a better start than the average sprinter pos sesses, a driving speed that has been unequaled in the racing fraternity and a fighting heart that tells when the last few yards call for a stu pendous effort.
 In physical characteristics, George Simpson is all that could be desired of the dash man. His running weight is 155 pounds, while his height is but mere shade under six feet. Long, tapering legs and a pair of shoulders that would do credit to a weight man complete the ensemble of this dark haired youth who, at the age of 21 rests at the top of the heap of mod ern flyers.
 He Would Not Stay Down
 It is characteristic of the Ohio State star that he has never remain cd beaten. Both Claude Bracey of Rice Institute and Eddie Tolan of Michigan, who took Simpsons meas ure In recent years, later bowed to his superior speed. Both of them however, were in the epic 9.4 race of June s, 1929. Even in his early days Simpson possessed the will and abili- l ty to come back after defeat and atone in expressive seconds for his | few reversals.
 In common with other stars of the sporting world, Simpson is reluctant to talk about his own achievements His friends. and even his parents must read the papers to learn the details of each race. To be sure, he has sincere belief in his ability but is never grudging in defeat Where on rare occasions others have capitalized on their ability. Simpson 1 has forsaken the Great God Bally- hoo to let his records speak for i themselves.
 His fan mail' is amusing. From the boy in California who wants his picture to the high school star ir Maine who asks for training advice | there is a steady stream of letters tc

 There was quite a gathering Of / New Britain notables at the rngside at the Bat Battalino- Bushy Graham fight in the Hartford state armory last night. Among the Hardware City representatives present were members of the medical and legal bers of others.
 Johnny Clinch defeated Izzy Kap- Ian in one of the preliminary bouts. The bout was disappointing to most of the fans because kaplan's style of closing up like a turtle, his maul- ing and clinching, failed to be pro- ductive of any good punching. Clinch won handily but neither boy was in danger during the night,
 Bat Battalino proved himself be- yond any question of a doubt last night. He outfought Graham from the first to the last round. We doubt that Graham would have scored the fourth round knockdown had he not foulcd Battalino and hurt him with a low and hard punch. Had Battalino taken time for rest to recuperate we believe
 
 even the one round he was credited with.
 Graham was surprised at Bat talino's ability and he expressed himself that way after the fight was over. When the two were standing in the ring at the conclusion of the bout, Graham told Battalino that he would beat Kid Chocolate when the two meet this summer.
 "Battalno is a harder puncher than I thought he was," Graham said to ringsders. He hurt mo seV- eral times during the fight. He'll beat Chocolate
 Graham met Chocolate and had him on the floor during the bout. Many present at the fight were Of the opinion that Graham was given tough break when Chocolate was given the decision.
