RISKO LICKED FOR , SECOND TIME BY
 THE TOY BULLDOG
Walker Takes Seven of Ten Rounds From Cleveland- CT in Warm BOut-SOme Figured a Draw
By HAROLD M. FARKAS United Press COrrcspOndcnt)

Miami, Feb 26-(UPJ--If Johnny Risko, the Cleveland baker boy, is representative of the country's heavyweights, then Mickey Walker knew what he was talking about when he said he was a worthy ap- ponent for the bigger boys.
 Mickey, weighing but 165 1-2 pounds, handed the 194-pound Risko with his superior reach and height, a sound drubbing here last night in the feature bout of Pa" Stribling's fistic carnival in the Madison Square Garden Arena. The fight, by the way, taken a 10-round decision over the Cleveland boy.
 Plenty of Fight
 Walker, although he won seven of the ten rounds. had no easy time Of 1t The bout was slashing affair from start to finish and many of the 25, 900 customers resented the deci- sion, believing that Risko deserved nothing worse than a draw.
 RiskO threw scare into the Wal ker supporters in the first round when he drove the New Jersey mid- dleweight all over the ring with fur ious rushes. Risko's other rounds were the fourth when he nailed his smaller foe with several hard rights, and the sixth when he opened a nasty cut over Walkers left eye. Risko kept pounding away at the wound the rest of the way, and Wall ker was not a pretty picture when the scrap ended.
 Mickey, however, did not let the loss of blood worry him, taking the seventh. eighth, ninth and tenth rounds in order. The fifth round was the most spec tacular of the lot. Soon after the bell the boys stood head to head in the center of the ring and whaled away in a manner that had the spectators cheering wildly.
 Mickey Finished Strong
 Risko tired badly in the ninth and tenth rounds and Walker, sensing a knockout, laid rights and lefts on the Cleveland boys chin. But Risko, who has been knocked out but once in his long career, weathered the storm and was swapping punches at the final bell.
 Max schmeling and W. L. "Young" Stribling, who have been matched to meet sometime in June, somewhere in America for the heavyweight title, each boxed three round exhibitions. Strtbling, who was introduced as the next heavyweight champion, re- ceived @ much more rousing hand than did the champion.
 Pa" Stribling announced the gross receipts as $45,00O.
 Risko will receive 20 per cent of the gate for his services, Walker 15 per cent.

 Duggan Topples Falcons
 The Duggan school midgets show ing Tommy Lacilla and Pee Wee" JoksZa in their lineup, won 22 to 14 decision over the Falcons in the first upset of the night. This pair of midgets from Duggan school played q brilliant passing and shooting game, and aided by their teammates were able to stop the high scoring Rages, brilliant center of the Fall cons. Lacilla dropped into the net ting three baskets and three fouls for nine points, while JoksZa netted points. The Falcons were in the race for three periods, but after Rages was banished from the game in personal argument with another player, both teams lacked a regular player to finish the conetst. While in the game, Rages scored of his teams IA points for the best offen- sive work of the losers.

'CARR-LEWlS RACE FEATURE OF A. A. U.
 MEET IN GARDEN
Rivals Run Dead Heat for 300 Yards - Beard Makes New World Hurdle Record
By l.. s. CAMERON United Press Shorts EditOr)


 New York. Feb 26-UP)-Percy Beard, who studies at Alabama Poly down in Auburn. Ala, and who runs over hurdles in his spare time, was in the ranks of U. s. Olympic team contenders to-day. He set new worlds indoor record in the 70-yard high hurdles in winning in the na- tional A. A. U. championships here last night.
 Beard's record breaking time was 8.5 seconds. just one tenth of sec- ond faster than the old mark held jointly by three murders.
 The A. A. U. championships con- stituted a definitely large evening for the Alabama speedster for he twice equalled the 8.6 mark, both in the first heat and in the semi-finals. The A. A. U. championships, ban ner event of the winter track and field season, contained many a scin- tilating performance.
 Lewis Lost Title By far the most thrilling event of the evening was a two-man race. The contestants were William Carr of the University of Penn and John w.
 
 ran dead heat in the 30O-yard event in which Lewis was defending the championship he won in 1930. They were instructed to rest and then were matched in a dual.
 This dual was the final contest of the evening. The great oval in Mad ison Square Garden was cleared of the dozens of officials and athletes. Johnny McHugh, veteran starter, cracked his pistol. Carr went a stride into the lead from the start. At every straight-away Lewis tried to pass, but Carr held him off at the banked turns. Carr led all the way, in the last 20 feet, Lewis realized his title was lost, and coasted to the tape.
 The championships provided an- other triumph for Ray Conger, vet is probably the best-loved track man in competition to-day. Conger won the 1 ,000 yard event in the creditable time of 2:14.1. Apparently destined for third place or worse, Conger put on one of his famous "kicks' which brought him from the pack up past Paul Keller of France and, in final push, past the leader, George Bull winkle of C. C. N. r.. to win by inches.
 Some Running
 A second veteran to vanquish the "upstarts" was Leon Lermond of Boston A. A., who came from yards behind to win the two-mile run. This race was featured by the brilliant early running of Clark Chamberlain of Michigan State. He couldn't keep up the pace, and was beaten to the finish by Joe McCluskey of Fordham university, the defending champion, who was second, a pace behind Ler- mond. The time was 3:11.8
 The university of Pennsylvania team set a new world record in win ming the medley relay at distances of 440 yards, 220, S80 and one mile. Carl Coan, new distance star at Penn, ran the anchor leg. The new record time was 7:30.4. The old record was 7:35.4, and was held by the Illinois A. C. of which team Joie Ray was anchor man.
 Phil Edwards of Canada led all the way to successfully defend his 600 yard pionship.
