New York, July 27-UP)-Joe Cook. who can do everything but initiate four Hawaiians, has noth- ing on Mildred (Call Me Babel Didrickson, an 18-year-old Abazon from Dallas, Texas. In fact, after watching Babes amazing perform ance in the national women's track and field championships on Satur- day and talking with her, we are could not only initiate four Ha- waiians, but five, as well, and maybe six.
 Babe, who hadn't even so much as seen a track meet two years ago, competed in three events Gall the law allows) and the best she could do was to break worlds records in two of them and thor oughly outdistance her field in the other. She still was puffing from running the 80-meter hurdles in the amazing time of 12 flat when we decided to ask her few ques- tions. Between puffs we learned that:
 In Class by Herself
 She was thoroughly disappointed with her time of 12 seconds; thought 1t pretty slow" She never saw a hurdle until two months ago when she ran against field of men and won in a walk. Saturday marked her third ap- pearance in a hurdle race.
 She likes all sports and is good at all of them. That goes for polo, ping pong, baseball, boxing, swim ming, squash rackcts and what have you. Is particularly good at basck etball, being forward on the team that holds the national cham pianship.

Knows she Is not pretty but considers herself grace full. She's right on both points. Is of Norwegian percentage and works in a Dallas insurance office as an expert rater.
 Terrible Conditions
 The 1881 meet. by the way. was miserably handled. This was prob able due to the fact that Pershing field In Jersey City is a sprawiing unattractive park and fit for noth- ing more important than a gram mar school meet. The officials ap- parently had made little or no provisions to handle the crowds with the result that spectators wandered over the track and in- field at will. It was this haphazard state of affairs that led to one or the spectators being hit and badly injured by a discus thrown py Stella Walsh, the Cleveland sprint star.
 During the interval between races several mounted policemen displayed their horsemanship by turning the track into a pridie path. This made for bigger and better divots and it's n wonder that one of the runners didn't stumble 'oves a hole and break her neck.
 The meet was robbed of much of It's dignity when the officials de- cided to hold some sort of a coun- ~ cha m pionshIn at the same time,

 PROGRAM TONITE
Local Boys Have Hard Op- position at White City New Yorker Favored

With promise of q pleasant evening from the weather observer. Al Weill, matchfaking genius, comes back to the White City stadium this evening in his second attempt to present Al Gainer, New Haven dusky marvel, and Bob Olin New York Hebrew sensation in a ten-round feature bout. The Olin- Gainer mixing will top a 34-round program and the first bout is slated for 8:30 o'clock.
 Both fighters have benefited greatly from the extra days Of training. Olin however, still re- mains a 6 to favorite to score d win over Dick Gray's protege.
 Plenty of Action.
 To say the least, Gainer is in for a busy evening. He will for the first time in his career, be meeting a man who is concededly clever boxer and he is practically green to the tactics employed by that type of mixer, his chances of com ing through with a win are con- sidered slim.
 Gainer made the most of the two extra days Tn which to train by settling back into hard training going several fast rounds with his sparring mate Tiger Jack Wayne of New York. Wayne has been eX- hibiting a style similar to that used by Olin and Gainer has been plan- ming his offensive accordingly, but it remains to be seen whether or not this practice was of any value.
 Olin after hearing that the pro- if LNri6n " evening, went back to New York to make use of the extra days of training. He worked out Saturday and yesterday at Stillman's gym in the Metropolitan city and he was expected to arrive in this city shortly after noon today.
 Gaincr Light.
 Neither fighter will be compelled to weigh in again this afternoon, the weighs on Friday afternoon standing. At that time Olin had 6 three pound advantage on Gain- CT.
 Weill has lined up a fine under card for this evening, with Sammy Gelber, of New York, meeting Young Grenade, of Waterbury and Tampa, Fla. Gelper has gone on nero on any VI cSSooAV'h' in the past and is quite a favorite among the fans.
 In six round preliminary heat, Jack (Red) Knights, Hill Worthy will meet Joe Vignali, Waterbury puncher. Vignali, who cnt quite figure in the amateur ranks. has been going along at good clip since joining the professional class.
 Another six round pairings will show Joe Oliver, downtown favor ite. and Ernie Sims. Naugatuck pride and joy. Oliver is out for a win this evening, In an effort to square up things for his failures in recent starts.
 The opening attraction, a four round affair, will have Rocco Null To, New Ravens fighting taxi driv- CT, and Jimmy Paternostro, New ington, as it's principals. These boys will enter the ring at 8:30 and from. that time until the main bout is concluded the fireworks are expected to bang away necessarily.
