CAUGHT IN PASSING
 The opinions of pr Paul Martin, Swiss physician and Olympic mid de distance runner, will, in all pro- bability, stir up considerable com- ment among American track coach- es, officials and the stars them selves. From time to time, some one comes forward with the re- mark that Yankee athletes "burn out" quickly and since Che state- ment was first made many years ago, the answer has not yet been agreed upon by the various cliques concerned. In the present case, Dr Martin cites the case of Frank Wy- koff, sensational California sprint star who failed to make a solo spot in the Olympics in his favorite event. Little Bill Carr. of Penrl- sylvania who has beaten Blazing Ben Eastman of Stanford twice in as many weeks, agrees with Dr North in part, at least in relation to Eastman, whom. Carr thinks has been "overworked." The American athletic training system is all wrong, Europeans have maintained and point to the short life of Tank stars on the track to prove their point. It makes one wonder if the sudden demand for certain athletes due to sensational performances does not fatter the coaches and athletes to such an extent that they within a given period of time. Af- ter all, the old "pump'' Is a great organ, but will "kick back" even as your old Model T when it is abused.
 BASEBALL BITS
 You'd think it all set the way
 those Red SOx and St Louis
 Browns came out of their shells
 yesterday to knock off the lead- ing Now York Yankees and Philadelphia Athletics. Which
 led playing manager Marty Mo- Manus to remark after the Yank
 defeat ''sOme teams will have a
 vastly changed opinion of us af- speech, Martin, but even you can't change the spots on a leo
 pard. Then again, the Red Sox would be lost up in first division.
 The altitude would make them
 dizzy.

On his last weekend visit up this way, Bill managed to squeeze in 45 holes of golf on Friday, 45 more on Saturday and 29 on Sum- day.

 Jeff SchiavOne, the little man
 with the big chest has organized
 his Canal street TrOubadOurs
 into a horseshoe pitching team
 of two, four or six members, de-
 pending on the size. and type of
 opposition wanted. And another
 thing! No quOit games wanted.
 It's horse -shoes or nothing. for
 the reason that they don't nail quOits on doors down Canal street.
 
 Tony shucco. who made a most favorable impression in lis one and only appearance in the Brass City to date is on the Schaaf-P Paul. limo card next Monday at Long Is- land. He meets up with Jimmy New York showing. Down that way they think Braddock still pretty hot. On the basis of both their sowings against Jack Kelly of this city, the Boston battler should win by eight billion kilometers. (7,546,- 39S,222 miles to you).
 On your way up Phoenix ave-
 nuc this week, you must visit the
 O'Dance SOlarinm atop the Hem-

 . sun-bathers colony which has
 served civic purpose by keeping
 his pupils out of dOOrwayS dur
 ing these hot spells. Seriously,
 though, the amateur boxers un.
 der MichacPs wing, get quite a
 dose of sun as part of their reg
 ular training, and they find that
 the natural viOlet-ray treatment
 peps them up beyond all cxpecta-
 ton.
