LEONARD TAKES 1T EASY
Boxes His Way to Tame Six-Round
Victory Over Sarko.

NEW YORK, April 2o.-Some of the
5000 boxing fans who turned out at
the Ridgewood Grove Sporting Club
last night to welcome Benny Leonard
back to Brooklyn after an absence of
IS years we're disappointed when the
former lightweight king did no more
than box his way to a points victory
over Mike Sarko of the West Side in
their siX-round tussle
1t was rather tame stuff until the
last round, when they mixed it freely.
Leonard weighed Isl, having an
edge of six pounds on Sarko.

Golf Analysed
nv ZOE GLASS,

The style of Tommy Creavy, Pro-
fessional Golf Association champion,
clearly shows two very important
facts in relation to the movement OF
the arms in the swing-facts which
the duffer must always remember.
First, he keeps the left arm close
to the body on the backsWing.
Secondly, he keeps the right arm
close to the body on the downsWlng.
Evening star., 1932-04-20

If the left arm be kept close to
the body on the backswing, it assists
the pivot. The only way in which a
full swing can be obtained then Is
by turning the body; otherwise the
arm cannot go back.
The right arm close to the body
on the downswing bars it from
taking control and keeps the club
head inside the direction line.
Both operations build up COM
pactnesS and power.

ing your game, Joe Glass has a new

TIME largest run OF Whlte pefcn
to the swift waters of the Po-
tomar River in the vicinity
of Chain Bridge in recent
years is reported by Capt. Joe Fletch-
er, well known boatman. Yesterday
morning together with Freddy Mills
and Harry Shoe, he landed what he
called the "old humpback" white
perch as fast as he could rebait.
Fletcher said that his young son,
fishing Monday morning across the
river from mis- boat house just off
the Virginia shore, landed $50. All
the fish landed are reported to be
of good size, great many weighing
ree-fourthS of pound and some
pound apiece.
The Potomac, which has been on
rampage since the recent heavy
rains, has begun to clear and Is re-
ported in excellent fishing condition.
Local anglers who care for this kind
of fishing will have a treat in store
for them if they visit the waters of
the Potomac around Chain Bridge.

yenzke Is Different.


THIS will not apply to Gene Venzke.
l. Venzke is not yet in college, SO he
will have no dual meets and no
intercollegiate games to face. He VIII
enter the metropolitan championship,
but he can elect his own program. He
will have the advice of Mike Sweeney,
Hill Schools able athletic director, and
he is almost sure to be at his best when
the 1,500-meter test comes along at
Los Angeles.
There is little questioning the fact
that Eastman could still lower the
quarter and the half-mile records-or
the 400 and 800 meter records-f the
Stanford and the Olympic schedules
were not in the way.
When the final Olympic trials are
held in California around the middle
of July, with only select list surviving
in each event, there will be little chance
to loaf. These final trials will be as
hard as the Olympic games when YOU
consider the quantity and the quality
of the field
It should be remembered again that
this is not the fault Of the college
coaches and trainers. who know their
stuff to a high degree. It is the heavy
schedule which must be faced that does
most of the damage.

The Dizzy Start.

THIS preliminary period before the
l. next set of Olympic games has
been the dizziest ever known.
Eastman and Venzke have already
broken three world records. Spitz has
cracked another Others have been
running in record time.
One trouble is that more than 10 per
cent of our Olympic athletes come
from the colleges. And most OF the
colleges have fairly busy track sched-
ules, including traditional dual meets
and then the intercollegiate games.
This schedule, when hooked up with
the Olympic trial program, Is a triiie
more than most runners can face.
When Eastman broke records at the
440 and the half-mile he must have
been close to his keenest edge. No run
ner, otherwise is breaking records. But
he still faces a lot of hard running be-
fore getting his chance against the
foreign pick. The same is true OF
Wykof and other leading runners from
the Far West, the Middle West, the
East and the South.

The closing of Thirty-eighth street

was no opposition registered.
A difference of opinion developed as
to Patterson street, however The Ma

mission desires this street closed be-
cause it bisects property now owned by

this on the ground that Patterson
street would eventually prove to be an
important traffic thoroughfare.
