 Orlando, Fla, Feb. 1.-(UP).-A lover of chicken fighting ever since was Q child and had to remove setting hens off the nest for mama, I came to Orlando yesterday hoping to attend the 17th annual national cock-fight tournament.
 I had heard that the Orlando fights were the best in the United States with the finest roosters failing their spurs for prizes in ex- cesss of $l0,000 even before left New York, two months ago, I was tipped that nothing could see in Florida during the winter would afford the drama and thrills of the Orlando. Take any cockfight you have seen, was told, and double the action, triple the betting, and quadruple the crowd, and you have this mid-winter event.
 It was a shame that such vivid picture of the fights was painted to me because, much to my disappoint- ment, found that during cockfight time, Orlando regards a visiting newspaperman combination of typhoid Mary, Attilla the Hung, Benedict Arnold, and the four hoursemen of the Apocalypse riding side saddle.
 The citizens will show him the orange groves, the lakes, the ther- mometer readings for the past 10 seasons, and even the waterworks, but not the cockfights. asked everybody from the citys director of publicity right down to total stranger in Knickerbockers and a turtle-necked sweather who passed me astride a bicycle, but 1t was, as Professor William Lyon Phels would say, no dice.
 saw tickets to the fight, but l couldn't buy them. talked to men who had been to the fights, but not one could remember where they were held.
 By mid-afternoon I wearied of the search and decided to spend the rest of the day sightseeing. As I drove along an outlying road, drink ing in the beauties of the scrub Palmetto and Pine Flats, spotted a uniformed boy standing in the middle of the road.
 As I slowed down to pass him. he yelled:
 Looking for the fights. lnister2" I couldn't believe my ears, with all the secrecy, here was Q brightly garbed messenger stationed in the middle of the road to direct strang- CTS to the jousting ground.
 But that's what he had yelled. And he knew where they were.
 "Go down there past the Orlo Vista post office until you get to that orange house, turn right the first road and follow 1t around the lake until you hear the roosters growing, "that'll be the place" turned of the highway on Q muddy, winding road. and headed in the woods. soon heard the roost-

CUNNINGHAM IN SHOWDOWN FOR
 PUBLIC. FAVOR
Mile Race Against Mangan Will Draw 10000 at
 New York Tonight
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor)

NOAaASSNA = ANpS ShrSA VI ASNANNO@G
 New York, Feb. 1 CUP) A crowd of 16,00O will jam It's way ln- to Madison Square Garden tonight to see Glenn Cunningham, the worlds fastest miller, strive to win his fourth straight Wanamaker mile in the Millrose A. A. games and settle his feud with Joe Man. gan, Cornell law student.
 The steel-legged Kansas runner who has won two races this season, both of which developed controver- sial afternaths, hopes to win clear cut victory tonight and end all talk that he "fouled" Mangan in the stretch of the Curley mile last Saturday night in Boston. Allegations
 In that race Cunningham alleg- edly veered out from the pole and obstructed Mangan just enough to win by a foot. Previously, soma witnesses said, he had jostled Char lie Hornbostel, former Indaina runner, in a home-stretch drive at Brooklyn a month ago. Cunning ham says that he has never inter1- tionally fouled any runner, and is willing to let his record of the last four years prove whether he has to resort to fouls to win races. He has won the Wannamaker mile the past three years in 4:13, 4:11.2 and All. He holds the world mile rec- ord of 4:06.7 and the indoor record, 4:08.4. He has run six of the l2 fastest miles ever raced.
 Opposing Cunningham and Man. gan will be Norman Bright, Sunny vale, Calf, school teacher who ar- rived from the coast yesterday by plane; Gene Venzke, Pennsylvania, who has three times been runner up to Cunningham in tonight's race; Don Lash, Indiana, big ten mile champion; and Archie San Romani, Empria, Kans., teachers, national collegiate mile titleholder. It will be the indoor debut for Bright and San Romani.
 Cunningham is favored to tri- umph, with Mangan, who finishes with a terrific kick" his most dan- gerous rival. Venzke has beat Cum ningham only once in five years. Bright has been training only a week. San Romani has fast finish and is considered a dark horse.
 Attractive
 The Wanamaker mile is only one of the choice events on the pro- gram. Indoor records may fall in the 60-yard sprint, Emile and high jump.
 Eulace Peacock, Temple negro. American 100-meter champion, will match his speed against Ben John- son, Columbia negro trying come back: Eddie O'Sullivan, Wall street clerk who beat Peacock twice a month ago, and Bobby Packard, Georgia freshman who was Q schoolboy sensation last year.
 The Emile brings together Ray Sears, Butler, Americas fastest ?. miller, Lash, seeking @ double vic- tory, Joe McCluskey, Harold Man. ming, and Tom Ottey.
 Cornelius Johnson, Compton (Calf.) Junior College negro, George Spitz, New York, and Al Threadgill, Temple negro, should come close to the indoor record of G feet, 8N inches in the high jump. Johnson is unbeaten since the 1892 Olympics.
 Another thrilling event is the GOO meters, which will see Eddie O'Brien, Syracuse, America's lead- ing 40O-meter Olympic candidate, race against Charlie Hornbostel, Harvard law student, who holds the indoor record of 1:l1.3.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-02-01

CTS calling their defiance and Q quarter mile farther on, tucked snugly in thicket, was the game club. No fewer than l50 cars were parked about the canvas-sided pav- illion which held the battle ring. From the pavilion came the sounds so familiar to cock-fight followers, the yells, the laughs, the shril' c~y of the fighters, the drummin- M wings. .,
 I had no sooner parked tha.. . gentleman walked over, and giving me a most intensive stare, inquired
 You're Henry McLemore, aren't you?"
 Never one to hide my light under e biishel, admitted I was.
 "The fights are all over," he said. Come back to see Us another year.. 4
 And his tone left no doubt but that he meant for me to come next leap year.
 So, not wanting to start the. fights all over again, went back to town and contented myself with Q chicken on . plate, with Q lot of stuffing and gravy. ~ Copyright 1886 By United Press>
