 Komar and McGill, who defeated Harry Mamas and Abe Kaplan in their last two appearances in Hartford. will meet on the best two out of three falsl plan.
 Meet the Count.
 The semi-final holds as much in- terest for local mat fans as the main bout because of the presence of Count Zarnyoff. the Russian nathan who is a prime favorite in Hartford. The count tackles Harry Mamas, the roughhouse Greek, and their match is limited to 45 minutes.
 John Spellman of Somers tangles with Earl Paul Tompkins in a half hour bout and there will be an open ing obtu of 20 minutes.

Clympiad. which opens at Los An geles on July 30, 1882.
 The question of track dates pro- vided the chief argument for an otherwise calm 10-hour session of the the American Olympic commit tee at New York Athletic club last night. Committee decision on dates and sites for all other sports were adopted without protest.
 Pacific coast representatives pro tested against holding the track and field trials at Chicago, and argued it would be unfair to ask coast ath- 1etes to go to Chicago for the trials and then return to Los Angeles for Olympic competition.
 Other delegates countered with the claim that Chicago was a more cen- tral point and fairer to all sections of the country, and the committee recommendation naming Soldier field, Chicago, as the site was adopt ed.
 Couldn't Agree.
 The question of dates was argued for several hours. Although the committee appeared decided that July 15-16 would be the proper time 1t declined to take final action with out giving coast authorities an op- portunity to present their arguments. Therefore, President Avery A. Brundage appointed J. T. England of Baltimore and A. c. Gilbert of New Haven to meet a California committee in St Louis, at an under mined date. to settle the controversy.
 Proponents of holding trials six weeks in advance of the Olympics declared United States athletes al- ways reach their peak for the final trials and are unable to regain top
