 Due to some fancy mathematics in the translation of meters and centimeters to feet and inches, aided and abetted by some typo graphical wild throws, undue alarm has been spread among the Ameri- can weight tossers preparing for the Olympics.
 We can reassure them, at least to the extent that Franz Dolda, the big Szecho-Slavkkian shot chukker, did not heave the missile any such distance as was at first reported -54.44 feet--or approximately two feet beyond the official world rec ord for the 16-pound iron ball.
 Actually Dolda's toss of 1905 meters represented a throw Of 52 feet, 2 31-32 inches. This shades the world record of 52 feet, 7k inches q604m.) credited to Emil Hirschfeld of Germany, but it does not make a chump out of the listed record, by any means, nor in fact, does it strike our own boys with excited amazement, much less terror.
 It is, of course, a pretty fair heave in any country, but our own Leo Sexton, the most improved of all the shot putters within the past year, has tossed 52 feet, 83s inches indoors and seems en- tirely willing to do even better at Los Angeles. if necessary to win.
 I recall that our boys were a little concerned as to the best way to take the measure of the German, Hirschfeld, at Amster- da mfour years ago. On the way over reports by radio indicated Hirschfeld was very "hot" in the weight tossing speciality. One of our farmer boys, John Kirk, found the best method of rebuttal by propelling the iron ball over 52 feet for a new world record at that time. Herman Erik was sec- ond and Hirschfeld third.
