testing the suspension of Primo Car
negro, gigantic Italian heavyweight,

Carnival.

Track and field stars from ap-
proximately 100 Indiana high

Hoosier prep records at Butler field
Saturday when they gather for the
tWenty-seventh annual Champion
ships. The claSsiest field in many
seasons will compete for individual
and team honors.
Winners of first and second places
in each event and winning half
mile and mile relay teams from
each of the fifteen Sectionais will
compete, making a total Of between
500 and 600 athletes in the thirteen
events.
Froebel of Gary, national inter-
scholastic champion and defending
title-holder in the state meet, is a
heavy favorite to repeat and is ex-
pected to carry off major share OF
the record breaking.
Brazil, runner-up last year with
fifteen points scored by Ivan Fuqua
with three first places, will depend
on that star for points again this
season.
Froebel, who walked off with the
1929 carnival with 461a points,
proved to be the highest point
scorer in the sectionals with 81.
Bloomington, Elkhart, Wiley Of
Terre Haute and Kokomo also
scored high totals.
B. E. Bayh of Terre Haute will be
referee at the met Saturday and
George Cooper of South Bend will

Track Marks
Are Accepted

BERLIN, May 2O.-The interna-
tional athletic federation adopted
new worlds records here today but
did not consider the unofficial dash
marks set by George Simpson of
Ohio.
His records were not included on
the list submitted. The technical
committee suggested that the Ohio
stars marks be omitted, presumably
because Of the use Of starting
blocks.
The federation approved as a
world record the At seconds mark
set by Emerson Spencer for the 400
meter run at Palo Alto, Cal, May
IL, 1928. The old mark had been
held by Ted Meredith at IL 4-10 Sec

Also approved was the pole-vault

TALKING
IT OVER
BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, May 20.-Somehow
In it is not easy to believe that
old Leo P. Flynn has turned up his
toes and that his soul has gone
winging through the ether to join
that Of his pal, Tex Richard. Leo P.
was so definitely and naturally a
part Of the business of professional
prize fighting as to suggest a sort OF
institutional permanency. AS long
as most Of the present generation
interested in such things can re-
member, Leo P. has been actively
connected with what he always
called the racket.
He was a typical Irish sporting eharac-
ter with generous gray eoiffure, glib
taiker with biting picturesque vocabu-
larry, and a mind that was more shrewd
" cunning than noble or exalted.
n a
He belonged TO that hard. uncompro-
missing guild OF managers who respected
no particular moral code and to whom
the double cross and the practice Of
trickery was nothing more than a cam
paign weapon to be used defensiveiy and
as a measure OF seIf-preservRtion in a
strange. loose. ungoyerned business long
distinguished BY its freedom from ethical
Obligations.
Operating on the theory that If he failed
to outsmart the other fellow the other
felIew would outsmart him, Leo P. gener-
ally managed to have some sort of ad-
vantage every time he started.
THE autobiography of this
4 gentleman would have made
sprightly reading but I am not sure
that 1t ever could have been done
fully and frankly without leaving
the author open to an embarras-
sing check up on the part of the
nations gendarmes. 1 don't be-
lieYe the ring ever produced a
manipulation who had more i'm
agination or resourcefulneSS. One
Of his most fantastical strategemS
was reserved for late in his career.
This was when he attempted to set the
public mind for a foul in the fight with
Dempsey and SharkeV by appearing be-
fore the boxing commission and requesting
that green lines be painted around the
naked waists OF the two battlerS.
II want to be sure that If and when my
man hits a fair blow to the waist there
can be no doubt as to the legitimacy Of
the punch" he argued. Thus the burden
of proof was shifted to sharkey and when
the inevitable claim Of foul was made the
public skepticism was directed entirely at
him. Leo P. did more to win that fight
for Dempsey and move him into a return
meeting with TunneY than anybody else.
Leo P. had very little sentimental
interest in his fighters. His main
interest was in the box office. At
one time he had the largest stable
of fighters in the country. Most of
them were palukaS-a scornful title
denoting mediocrity which, be-
lieve, Leo P. coined himself.
He used to send them around the
country in vast herds. He had them fight
ing every week and oftener when he could.
When the situation beckoned and the con-
ditions were inviting he would pair them
as man killing saysges from rival cities
and send them into the ring as opponents.
n
About the worst you can say of
him is that he baited his hooks for
the sucker, but as he used to phil
osophize, "if don't land 'em some
body else will"
