IDEMAR, 46 YEAR
 OLD RUNNER IS CONFIDENT ENTRY
Any One of Half Dozen Marathon Stars Named
 as Winners
BY HENRY MINoTr United Press Stan Correspondent)

CAhAeAA B A&]4A8 eone4aA 1NSAAC8NlOhAAAChhty Boston, April l9-Crack of a pistol in the hand of traditional Starter George V. Brown on Nthe dot of 12 noon today win send a star.sprinkled field ofi2ss American and Canadian distance runners scampering down the knoll from Lucky Rock Manor, Hopkinton, in the 3sth annual Boston A. A. mar athon.
 Approximately 2 1-2 hours later the dinner will break the tape in front of the B. A. A. clubhouse in Boston's Back Bay after trav- |hill-and-dale course lined by holi- day crowd of perhaps half a mill lion spectators.
 Analysis
 Who that winner will be is, as usual, .anybody's guess. He might be: Clarence Harrison De Mar, the Keene, N. H., schoolmaster, who believes he can win the classic for the eighth time despite the fact that he celebrates his 46th birth 0t4y AuAhlNCA5aLy HI uACs l1O 4h1t : who triumphed first in 1911 and most recently in 1890, likes mild weather such as that promised for today.
 Leslie Samuel Pawson, the youth full Pawtucket, R. l., gardener, who established new course record e hours 31 minutes 3-5 seconds) in winning the race last year and ,I~ I-fw H eytt1 te, Ia head. T am going in with the in- tention of winning the race again this year," he said.
 Johnny Kelley, North Medford club, who recently won the Med- ford 20-mile race.
 Johnny Semple, Beverly, who placed third in the same event.
 Dave Komonen, the flying Finn from Sudbury. Ont, last years runnedup.
 Billy Steiner, New York, recent Metropolitan A. A. U. record breaking winner.
 Able Competitors
 And right under the topnotch favorites are such potent plodders as the veteran Jimmy Henigan of Medford, a former winner who will U0 IudTkluB ulS AOLn aAulyClouLy Nn a marathoner; Paul De Bruyn, the German runner who trainsn on beer and who likewise is former winner; Whitey Nicholson and Will lie Runkel, goth of New York's Millrose A. A., and "Bricklayer" Bill Kennedy, the Port Chester perennial who broke the tape in 1917.
 To further complicate the busi- ness of picking a winner is the eveh- present possibility of a dark horse running away from the field, as in 1926 when an appropriately Cnamed Nova Ssocian gracery clerk Johnny Miles, won in record time. Miles, who repeated in 1929, was about the only outstanding star missing from today's classic.
 Some observers look for an ex- traordinarily fast race this after- noon, with possibly further low ering of the course record which has been steadily whittled away down through the years.

metal part in front and a wooden body behind, joined in such man. ner that the bait comes through the water with an up-and-down motion. It is said to be the only one of its kind on the market. Two other bait casting lures which are comparatively new are Acetta's Bug Spoon and Liotta's Tulip Spoon. The former is a metal, bucktail combination which, by different arrangements, can be given various types of action.
 The latter is a weedless wobbler which runs deep, and is best used with a porkrind strip.
 Fly rod and bait rod users have one brand new thing to play with in a "smacker" spinner. This lure has 8 minnow-like strip of metal arranged on a shaft to re- volve rapidly when pulled through the water.
 It resembles a minnow in action, and is trailed by a fly or bucktail hook.
 Then there is a large selection of bass and trout bass bugs, made of cork and feathers, or of plain buck tail and squirrel tail.
 A new field which fly markers are entering is the nymph and creeper tying. This type of fishing, coming into it's own after several years of experimenting, makes use of limitations of the nymph or creeper stage of various flies.
 These lures are tied small, and made as closely like the larvae of the insects as possible.

YOUNG AMERICAN HEAVY PULLS BIG
 GATES IN RIO

Rio De Janeiro. Brazil. (UP)- Several thousand miles from his Cleveland, Ohio, home, broad packing the stadiums at Rio de Janeiro. Joe Zeman started fight ing in the Cleveland rings when he was IA. He is 21 now, weighs 183 pounds, takes what he can find in the way of heavyweights and likes it.
 Offered an assorted bunch of professionals here, Zeman knocked out Angelo Ledoux in the seventh round, gave Oscar Davison IS pounds and carried him 10 rounds Then he trained down to the light weight class to chase Antonio Rod riguez and with broken right hand heaped up pile of winning points against Mario Lenzi, a thick-set Italian.
 70 Americana" now has left for Buenos Aires with Bertys Perry former manager of Paolino Uzcu- Gun. He may fight Victoria Cam polo, Argentine champion, down there before returning to Rio dt Janeiro to try and get an engage ment with Jose Santa of Portugal He hopes to be back in the United States in about year after a visit to Europe.
 Zeman has just made the heavy weight class. His bout with Rod riguez was his last show as a light weight, though he never had fought as Q heavyweight before he came here three months ago.
 Consensus of sports opinion here is that despite his youth, no. body has given him a very close fight. Zeman fights standing straight, with 8 nasty left jab as his favorite punch. Heavily built he is six feet one inch tall and has a tremendous reach. He moves cas- lily in the ring and fans like tt watch him.
 While Zeman is muscular ant broad d-shouldered, he could devei op a harder punch, sports critic believe. In the ring against Brazil ians he has allowed his opponent to do the quick moving: he is stayer, however, and there are a. yet no indications that he canno move fast if put to 1t.
 Tn his fight with Mario Lenzi Zeman hurt his right hand in ths second round with a blow to tht Italians head. Lenzi, veteran fighter, was unable to get undel the Americans jabbing left, how ever, and his speed, which is con- siderable, got him nowhere.
 After the fifth round, Lenzi wal tiring from crouched and duckine tactics and spectators believe that his opponents damaged hand was all that saved him from being knocked out.
 What impressed the fans, how ever, was the personality and form of a young American boy who looked as If he might be going places and knew he looked it.
 Zeman fought most of his fights in and around Cleveland where he was a gawky youth. He turned professional when he was a welter- weight, took a trip to San Francis co where he had a bout with Sam my Casanova, and to Atlanta where he defeated Charlie Goats.
 He knocked out Steve Blake ir the first round in Cleveland, did the same to Harold Lepki in the third, beat Joe Dunn and Jimmie Taylor twice each and conquered Bruno Sala and Jimmy DeNigro in his rise to the heavyweight class He also holds a decision over Lou Nicholetti in four rounds.
 Zeman was born in New York

With pockets just little fuller than last year, a greatly increased membership of the clan of old Ike Walton is storming fishing tackle counters all over the country to paw over and purchase new items designed to entice members of the finny tribe from their families and firesides.
 Probably thel greatest develop ment in the tackle line this year is the. perfection of hollow steel bait and fly casting rods. Your makes of this type, made from hollow, drawn steel.
 With two of them he took the "blindfold tets." This consisted of being blindfolded and given one of the new rods to hold in one hand and a bamboo in the other. Then you are supposed to guess which is which-and, brother you cant do it.
 This new steel offering may set tie the old question as to which is the better, steel or bamboo. The bamboo, plus the fiexibility of the steel unit has all the lightness oi metal.
 It will outlast a bamboo rod, as the name of one, Life Pal," would indicate. The steel fly rod, coming in thre pieces, is a real work oi art.
 Most new rods have offset han. dles and automatic locking devices which completely remove the pesky possibility of the reel falling off into 30 or 40 feet of water just when a stirring fight with 8 bass is at it's height.
 Reel development has been a bit backward, due, perhaps, to the height of excellence already reached in this item of tackle. There is one new unit out, how ever, which is quite an improve- ment. It is "no-tangle" affair, designed to prevent backlashes. In addition to the reel, the manufac- turer has produced 'governor-con- trol" units which may be fitted to standard reels of other makes.
 Then there's the "duo-paul" idea, which giveh you two pauls in one. When one end of this part of the reel wears out under the heavy duty of the level-wind mechanism, 1t can be reversed.
 Fly-rod reels are pretty much the same, with the exception of a few new automatic units being offered. Surf casting outfits and reels for use in deep sea angling have differed in one all-important respect-they have been produced in a low-price class and are very serviceable.
 As to casting baits and fly rod lures, numerous new ones have Been added. Among them is the new bass s-oreno, a favorite, which has been made with metal plate through the center to which hooks and line are attached.
 It is said to be much stronger and to remove possibility of losing a fish because of loose screws.
 Another is called the "fiip-fiap." This bait casting lure features a
