What of It?

insist that nothing can be done
about it by any one anyway, so
why be annoyed?
(6) Those who dislike to play

5OO.METER
BY QUENTIN REYNOLDS

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. 4.
The American Flag was the first
to be raised in token of victory
as the third winter Olympic
games were officially opened here
today.
After Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt had welcomed the con-
testants, the 500-meter speed skat-
ing race was held and amid the
wild cheers of 5000 warmly-clad
spectators, Jack Shea, Dartmouth
sophomore, and a Lake Placid
boy. crossed the line five full
yards in front of Bernt Evenson,
the worlds record-holder for the
event.
Alexander Hurd, of Canada,
was third, and Frank Stack, also
of Canada, was fifth, and John
O'Neil Farrell of the United
States, sixth. The time of 43 4-lO
seconds equaled the Olympic rec
ord, but failed to smash Even
sons world record of AZ $40.
Shea shot off the mark to
jump the field by a full yard, and
he was never headed. Skating
with full, easy strokes. the 1.-THE
American gained on each turn to
come into the final straightaway
three yards in front of EvenSon.
He put on added pressure to win
handily with the field strung out
behind him.

QUEST
To KEARNS
BY LES CONKLIN

ny AGO NOENMAkN
NEW YORK, Feb. Mickey
Walker, who became a fistic
orphan several weeks ago when
he was replaced by Jack Sharkey
as Max Schmeling'S opponent IN
the next heavyweight champion
ship battle, was very much in de-
mand today. The former welter-
weight and middleweight cham
pion may make a bid for his
third title in the light-heavy-
weight division instead Of among
the heavyweights.
The toy bulldog was offered
two matches by Promoter James
j. Johnston of Madison Square
Garden. One would be at the
Garden on March 4 against
Make Rosenbloom, the clown
prince of swat, Sfor the light
heavyweight title. The other
would be against the winner OF
tomorrow nights heavyweight tilt
here between Ernie Schaaf OF
Boston, and Pauline Uzcudun,
the Basque woodchopper.
To Make Decision
Jack Kearns, who manages
Walker and Jackie Fields, weltep-
weight champion, is expected to
decide soon about the Walker
matches and also to the Gardens
offer for a title bout between
Fields and Billy Petrolle or
Jimmy McLarnin. If both Of the
Fields matches fall through, an
effort will be made to matcn
Petrolle against McLarnin.
Kearns claims he has been guar
anteed $4,000 for a title bout
between Fields and Young Cor
bett Sd in San Francisco.
Manager Jack .Sharkey, here
to second his protege, schaaf'
against Pauline tomorrow night,
predicted Ernie would win by a
knockout. The talkative pair also
fired a verbal blast at Jack
Dempsey, who closed negotiations
Yesterday for four-round bout

FIGHT FOR LIFE

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. f.
Capt. Fritz Grau and Albert
Brehme, the two German bobsled
riders who were severely injured
on Monday when their sled went
off the Olympic bobrun here, to-
day were making a brave fight
for life at the Lake Placid Hos
pital. Doctors refused to say that
they were as yet out of danger.
X-ray pictures have disclosed
that Brehme is suffering from a
fractured skull, a back injury that
may be a fractured spine and a
broken wrist.
Grau has a fractured hip, con-
cusSion of the brain and painful
lacerations. He also may have
internal injuries.
Rudolph Krotki and Helmut
Hoppman, the other members of
the ill-fated bob team, are out of
danger, although Hoppman'S leg
injury is causing concern to the
physicians.
Capt. Werner Zahn, driver of the
German sled which came to grief
last Sunday, was discharged from
the hospital this morning in time
to participate in the opening cere-
monies of the winter Olympic
games. Still suffering pain from
numerous decorations, and with his
broken arm in a sling, the captain
insisted upon attending the cere-
monies.
It was disclosed Heinrich Ross
ner, a member of Zahn's team,
whose injuries were thought to be
slight, is suffering from a frac-
ture Of the fifth vertebrae, a con-
dition which was not discovered
until X-rayS were taken.

Last night the Ladies District

league records fell, and already
sizeable averages increased.
Blicks Set Record
The John Blicks we're forced to
establish a new team game record,

whitewash at the hands of Deals

ducks for a 386 set. Reva Banks,

Helena Kohler showed the way
in Columbia'S two triumps over

FIGHTER brown
On ALEX, CARD

They call Buster Brown the
life saver of the fight racket"
in the city of Baltimore.
Buster, who battles Stumpy
Jacobs at Portner's Arena Tues
day night has saved more boxing
promoters neck's in the Monu-
mental City than you can count
on two hands.
It has been a tough game, this
boxing business in Baltimore for
the past three years. Many OF
the shows proved complete flops,
but whenever Buster was on top
of a card the show was safe.
He has pulled more money
through the box office than any
of the present day gladiators in
that city and not since the days
of K. o. George CLANCY, Kid Will
liams, Bobby Garcia, Lew Mayrs
and Joe Dundee has there been
such an outstanding money maker
as the popular italian boy.
Money Fighter
Buster fights for his money.
That's why they stuck him in
there few months ago against
Benny Leonard, former light
weight champion. Benny took
plenty that night. He admitted
it after the fight. It was only
for the fact that Leonard's jab
was as good as it ever was that
kept him from defeat.
When Buster left the ring that
evening he was accorded one of
the, greatest ovationS ever given
a boxer in one of the most criti.
cal fight towns on the globe.
Preliminary bouts for Tuesday
feature Jack Quigley VS.. Benny
Tillman; Koung Perry VS.. Keller
Crawford; Tommy Horn VS.. Billy
Reed and Bob Portna VS.. Young

Those Bob Sledders

News put of Lake Placid,
N. Y, where the Olympic winter
games get under way today,
thanks to freeze and a heavy
snowfall last week, emphasizes
the danger and risk attached
to bobsled racing.
Seventy-five to a hundred
miles an hour is the speed at
which these queer appearing
Contraptions take the inclines
and banked turns of snow and
ice, and smash-ups to two Of
the German teams occurred
during the practice races.
An indication of the speed
with which these sleds travel
is indicated in the fact that
news cameras used for making
good action pictures of horse
racing, baseball, football. hockey
and other sports which have
their fast moments, have been
able to clock but few good pic
lures of the bobsledders going
at high speed.

placed on the program one week
from tonight at the Washington
Auditorium. Grobmeier is to tackle
John Maxos, a rough Greek, who
hasn't shown here for some time.
This will be the Semifinal bout

Fritz Kley, the pretzel bender,
has also been placed on the bill.
This freakish wrestler engages
Jean LeDoux, the grizzled Cana

Kley was an instantaneous hit
upon his first appearance here.
Tiny Roebuck, the giant Indian,
has been picked to face Ed
Stranger" Lewis in the headline
attraction. Lewis is making his
first showing here after a lapse
of over two years. He is one of
the. real stars Of the game, and,
despite advancing years, has kept
pace with younger foes.
Much interest is being evidenced
here in the Lewis -Roebuck match,
and Promoter Turner expects a
record turnout, as large as any
for a show wherein Jimmy Lon
dos is featured. Turner plans to
add two other attractive bouts to
complete the program.

send his Maryland floormen
through a long drill in prepara-

Saturday night in the Ritchie
Coliseum at o'clock.
The Old Liners registered their
eighth straight win by turning

Chase and Ronkin struck 70 the
band and the Marylanders led,
l4-8, at midway.
The Old Liners kept up
withering fire for three minutes
after play was resumed, giving
them 26-11 margin. The
Cardinals were facing a complete
roNt and took desperate measure
with their long-range pieces.
This counter attack brought re-
suits and the spectators became
aroused, particularly when the
Cardinals drew up to within
seven points of the enemy. leav-
ing Maryland holding. a 37-3O
advantage. Then the new plant
nearly collapsed with the roar Of
the fans when Bob McVean
scored two hits from Montgomery
county. This placed the Cardinals
within three points of Maryland
and the situation became as in
tense as the Shanghai volcano.
The .Marylanders started to
squelch the c. U. fire by freezing
the ball and, in the midst of the
excitement. Snyder eased down
the boards to cage a snowbird for
Maryland as the final gun
sounded above the din.
