OLYMPIC FUND FACTS SET DOWN
 BY BOSTONEAN
Bill Cunningham Claims
 Our Athletes Deserve Better Breaks and Na-
 fion Needs Enyiable \ Reputation

Tn his column in the Boston Globe recently, Bill Cunninxham, sports editor of the Boston Globe, sets down the facts about the Oly- mpic fund, and the. responsibility of the citizens in supporting their team. His remarks are so perti- nent that we are reproducing the major portion of his story here.
 The Olympic Games.
 As sports matters go the call for additional Olympic Games funds fs really q serious call. It is considerably embarrassing to our amateur athletic officials. many of whom have devoted their lives to the: upbuilding of sport without monetary cain to themselves. to see America faced with the prospect of no fully backed team in this year of all years, when the United States ts to play host to all of the worlds athletics. There are even those who profess to see a more serious side than that.
 If America goes into the games, poorly manned and shabbily equip. ped, there are those who say that the loss, of prestige in the eyes of the other nations may have serious international import. In these days of shaky governments. the United States. almost alone of all the na- tions of the world, is looked upon as something stable and dependabis "a real rock in a weary land.
 "Yet If we are unable to front the world with a fine and represen- tative aggregation, or fail to carry out our advertised program in full the youth of other nations, they say, will take 1t as confession of very real weakness and the net result will do use no particular good. fft
 "Our athletes, boys and girls, deserve a better break, and our nation needs the highest reputation 1t can possibly attain. .s. If you can spare a bill or two, there's a patriotic place to drop it." Y t2.@9

STRANCLER LEWIS AND 'MCREADY AT
 ARENA TUESDAY

New Haven, June 17.-After winning his way to the top of the professional mat game in two short seasons, Earl McCready, for mer Oklahoma A & M Intercolle- eiate mat king has been matched with Ed "Strangler" Lewis, three time worlds champion. for star finish match on Promoter Jim Downing's all-star pachyderm pro- gram atthe Arena here Tuesday night.
 McCready, fresh from his thrill ing victory over Scotty MacDougal, pride of New Zealand, here this week, intends to carry the battle to Lewis in his quest for crack at Jim Londos' crown. The Okla homa Irishman Is now at the peak of his career and Sigures that the old adage, youth must be served" will swing the tide of battle in his favor if the match lasts more than one hour. Lewis, however, is a cagy old warrior with almost un- limited reserve power as indi- cated in his recent victory over Dick Shikat in New York.
 Another fine, finish match on Downing's card that has state and local mat fans all excited. is the one involving Jack Washburn, Bos- ton bully, and Bill "Scotty" Mac Dougal. rough. tough grappler from New Zealand. Both of these matmen keep the spectators in an uproar with their unethical tactics in the ring and the sentiment Is that no matter what happens to either of them. it won't be half enough.
 Three time limit matches will round out the card which bids fair to provide enough excitement to last until the 4th of July and Promoter Downing will see to 1t that the balance of Tuesday nights bill is on a par with the top part of the program which means that there will be action for all and not a dull moment from S:30 until the final bell.

 No. definite rule for style can be set down for. putting. Putting is a game within a game and only, careful experiment will develop the style to suit the individual.
 Jones. Hagen, Diegel, Mac Smith and other stars have a sim liar style in wood and iron shots. But on the putting greens there Is a wide difference In their play. One butts with the feet close to- gether; the other sets them wide apart.
 Some stars take the butter back with, an open face; others with closed face. They also differ in the way they hit the ball. except in one particular. All concentrate in getting the clubhead into the ball at right angles.
