Looting was prevalent, according
to Sheriff Arlington B. Thatcher.
Thieves in boats were breaking into

London, April 26.-(R-There Is no
good reason to believe that Greater
London, with an estimated population,
Of more than s,0oo, 100, is not capable
Of absorbing q championship fight
between Max Baer and Max Schmel-
ing In August.
Walter Rothenburg, German pro-
moter. has promised Baer about $780,
900 to defend his crown here. and
presumably would have to hand
Schmeling another 100000. To say
that London doesn't have that kind
Of money to spend is cye-wash.
Rothenburg, in outlining to the As
ISOLATED Press bis plans for the Baer-
Schmeling bout, pointed out that he
would have to cell only 10000 seats at
$40 each to put himself In the clear
on his guarantee. The remainder Of
Wembley's 10000 or 10000 seats he
would price moderately, ranging
down to 81 for the distant sections.
Will London buy 40 chairs In
quantity? One can only look at the
records:
For the doubtful privilege of sitting
on hard pine boards for several hours
on end and watching King Georges
jubilee procession May 8, many more
than 10000 persons have paid more
than 80 each. Prices for choice seats
range up to twice that figure.

What should a track man eat?
Does he starve himself to be on edge
for competition, as some people be-
lieve?
If we go back to the days of Pooch
Donovan. Mike Murphy, and the rest
of the coterie of old-time runners. we
find that they placed great stress OH
diet. They were strong for steaks
and lamb chops. and religiously
steered clear of starch and sugar.
They emphasized a protein diet. 1t
was heresy to eat cabbage. beans, or
fresh vegetables. Milk. pastries and
sweets were taboo. Their diet was re-
strictive to guard against putting on
fat. It was theirthough that all
foods must be muscle builders.
There was no realization Of the
value of vitamins In salads. fresh
vegetables. milk. and the score OF
other foods served on regular menus
That theory is carried down to some
Of the present track men and
coaches.
Occasionally. some lean and hun
looking athlete will ask me t.
prescribe a diet. When tell him t.
eat the same food that his mother
serves at home. he is astonished. His
high school coach probably banned
much of this food. Yet he would be
capable Of running better had he
thin layer Of fat on his ribs.
Ny advice is to partase Of bal

him q bum out Of shape and threat

There were grounds for Browns
criticism. Baer hadn't stood up in
training as q challenger for the
heavyweight championship should.
Baer Buckles Down
When Baer won the title, It was
predicted that he would be q modern
edition Of Sullivan In q l6.cylinder
car. They said that his legs wouldn't
even be able to carry him around q
dance floor In q year. If he tossed
off $4,000 or more as Just another
heavyweight, what would he do with
the more important money that would
come his way IS champion.
Things worked out Just the other
way. however.
It may have been due to pride. No
ring ruler enjoyed being champion
more than Baer.
It may have been due to q GIRL.
Baer admits contemplating matri-
mony again-with . middle western
home miss whose name never has
been linked with his.
But the most logical reason Is that

tlrity.

If the New York Giants fail TO fin
ish at or near the top of the National
League standing-and their adherents
stoutly maintain there will be no
failure this season-it apparently
won't be the fault of Bill Terrys
pitching big four"
The quartet already has made a
highly promising start even though
Fred Fitzsimmons has been belted
out twice.
Carl Hubbell has rung up two VIC
tories on three appearances; Hal
Schumacher cut loose with a great
three-hit effort Wednesday and
Thursday Roy Parmelee came through
with another three-hit performance
to beat the Braves to 1.
Parmelee lost shutout because Of
q home run by Wally Berger. Mel
OFT produced the two Giant tallies
by clouting his third homer with
Manager Terry aboard In the fourth.
Dodgers Retain Lead
The Brooklyn Dodgers, however.
continued to outsfline the Giants IN
pitching as we'll as in other depart
ments and retained the league lead
on the strength of an outstanding
hurting performance by 2l-year old
Johnny Babich. Johnny hurled the
second one-hit game of the National
League season against the Phillies to
win 60. The first was tossed by Cy
Blanton of Pittsburgh.
Only an eighth-inning single by
Mickey Haslin, substitute third sack
er, spoiled a near perfect game for
Babich. He didn't give pass until
the ninth and the only runners to
reach first before Haslin's hit got
there on errors.
Cincinnatis Reds hoped back in
to third place with to 0 triumph
over the Pirates with Benny Frey
hurting six hit game. Chicago's
Cubs continued to pick on the Card
inals' Dean and Dean combination,
nicking Brother Paul for the decid-
ing runs In Z to triumph after
having defeated Dizzy in similar re-
lief role wednesday.
College Hurlers Star
The American League clubs went
In mostly for heavy hitting although
two former college stars, Vernon Will
silere of Indiana and the Athletics and
Johnny Broaca of Yale and the YAM
KEGS upheld the prestige Of the mound
department.
Wiltshire blanked the Senators with
two hits as the AS won 10 to 0 with
the aid of an eight-run second inn
ing. Broaca hurled less spectacular
seventh game against Boston and
the Yanks put on similar rally.
scoring seven times in the fifth to
smother the Red Sox IL to 4.
Another seven-run inning sent the
White Sox along to their fifth VIC
tory In six clashes with the champion
Tigers, 8 to 8. Schoolboy Rowe was
the victim of the uprising In the
fourth. The Indians captured the
Junior circuit lead by coming from
behind to defeat the Browns I to 6
with Hal Troskys circuit swat with
one on in the seventh producing the
winning runs.
