MEDICA BEATEN BY FLANAGAN
 IN LONG SWIM
Florida Tanker Easily De. feated Westerner in l..
 800 Meter Event
BY FRANK MURPHY United Press Staff Correspondent)

NOHteW GEeSS OthAA NUTEeepUuueHtI
 Warwick Neck, R. l., July Il - (UP) - Americas hopes of victory in the 15oo-meters race, longest of the Olympic swim program, rested today on the sturdy frame of Ralph Flanagan, Florida's free style sensa- tion.
 The Miami speed merchant clinched No. ranking among the Berlin-bound distance swimmers last night when he whipped barrel- chested Jack Medica of the Univer- sity of Washington by fully 25 meters in the tank tryouts at Rocky Point pool.
 Flanagan, who earlier this sum- mer won an assortment of national distance titles at Medica's expense, failed to touch Jacks record Of 10 minutes, 20 second, with his l9:37.8 clocking. Medica and James Cristy of Chicago, third man in a three heat race, qualified along with Flan- agan for the German invasion.
 While the distance swim was run- ming to type, Arthur Highland of Chicago, who came here labelled a "has- -been," splaShed very much ir- to the Olympic picture as he cap- tured the 100-meters free style sprint final by inches over favored Peter Pick of the New York Athletic Club. holder of the world record. Highland, Northwestern University graduate and former national and intercollegiate champion, wa S clocked at 58.8 seconds, two seconds over Picks best accepted mark.
 Highland, Flick and Arthur Lin- degren of Los Angeles, who finished close third, joined Flanagan, Med- ica and Cristy as nucleus for the Olympic squad.
 Not content with his No. ? spot in the long distance swim, Medica will attempt to take the 40O-meters free style event which, with the 1OO- meters back stroke, makes up today's program.
 Strong contestants in the 4OO- meter race include Jimmy Gilhula of Detroit, Charley Flachmann of Chicago, Charles Wilson, Jr., of the University of Chicago and John Macionis of Yale. Prominent among the back strokers will be Adolf Kie- fer of Chicago and Taylor Drysdale of Detroit.

Today's Sport Parade

the table. The boys know what they've got to do to make all the months and years of training and dreaming worth while. They must finish first, second or third. A fourth, a fifth or sixth, and it's no dice. It's get in the money, or get out.
 With five men trying for each place open on the team 1t requires no mathematical whizz to figure out that many will be the heartaches when the sun goes down Sunday. Some 250 of the boys have got to fail, no matter what they do. But 1t would take more than mathe- matical whizz to determine who those boys will be. For not since man started running and jumping and throwing as @ sport has there of performers. A tlstful of shot ever assembled such red-hot field thrown from the stadium's ramparts today and tomorrow would hit more than a score of world, American and collegiate champions. From the group which will be left behind competing with the squad of any could be chosen a team worthy of other nation on earth.
 The class of the field is shown by
 Record Holders Appear
 the fact that in 17 events which comprise the two-day program, world record holders will appear in 13. Yet, so terrific (and I use "ter- rife in the Hollywood sense) is the athletic talent of this country that in only four events do the world champions appear to outclass their rivals. These events are the discus, the broad jump and the 1l0-meter and 400-meter hurdles. Ken Car- penter, giant Californian, apparent ly is unbeatable with what the radio boys choose to describe as "the glit- tering Grecian platter" No one has beaten him this year, and he has thrown the business past the ac- cepted worlds mark. Jesse Owens, the coffee-colered flyer from Ohio, stands alone in the broad jump. He's a consistent 26-footer.
 The two hurdle events belong to @ brace of southerners, Spec Towns of Georgia and Glenn Hardin of Louisiana Delta and Bayou coun- try. Towns hasn't been beaten all year over the high sticks and Hardin record holder in the 400-meter, also has vanquished all competition this year.
 So many hairline finishes are an- ticipated that the Olympic officials have instNlled a magic-eye camera at the finish line. It IS to be hoped 1t is a more efficient one than those employed at the race tracks. For the race track cameras are fine for starting arguments, but of little use in settling them.

EIorsy ChIcago over Iaeed

Chicago has been Q race crazy city since the business was re-legalized, but even the big town on the lake front, with its millions, could dc with e few less tracks. It operates more ovals, with more days of rac- ing, than New York. It feels the ravages of pari-mutuel betting.
 One track well might be run by Q group of people, both for income and sport, but when combines op- crate strings of them they are bound to be tainted by the purely com mercial.
 Racing associations might arrange programs more attractively, putting in more distance races and more handicaps- -handicaps with some- thing more than an Se00 value. The claiming trace is g recognized evil! but the track themselves resist all efforts to abolish them.
 However, racing conditions have been greatly improved in recent years, with elaborate plants, more intelligent supervision, new contrap- tions, etc. The hosses will continue

KLEIN REGAINED 1, SOME OF GREAT
 BATTING FORM
Four Home Runs in One Game Tied Record; Cards
 Take Giants in 18th
BY LEsL1E AVERY

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York, July l1-(U.P)-"Th $100,O00 folly" of the Chicago Cubs, Charles Herbert (Chuck) Klein, to- day stole e bit of the spotlight that was his back in 1882 and '33 when he was, the most feared batsman in the National League.
 Smashing out four home runs against Pittsburgh, Chuck not only won Q ball game for the, Philadel- phia Phillies yesterday, but he ac- complained Q feat that only one man in modern baseball has equal- led. Durable Lou Gehrig in 1882 hit for the circuit four times to match the 1890 performances of Bob Lowe and Ed Delehanty.
 A change of scenery apparently was the best thing that ever hap pened to Klein. Purchased by Phil Wrigley of the Cubs from the Phil- lies, in 1884 at cost of $65,0O0 cash and several players, Chuck never hit his stride.
 When Wrigley set his eye on Phil Pitcher Curt Davis this season, he coughed up $35,000 more to get Davis and tossed Klein back to Philadelphia with the bargain. Since returning to the scene of his former triumphs, Klein's hitting has been timely if not steady.
 Klein's four circuit blows drove in six of the Phils' runs, the last com- ing with two men on in the 10th in- ming to break a deadlock and win, @ to 6.

GREAT TRIBUTE
 FOR HUMPHREYS BY BOXING FANS
Peer of AnnOuncers Suc- cumbed to Heat After
 3.Year Illness

New York, July Il - (UP) - New York today prepared one of its greatest tributes for leather lunged Joe Humphreys whose name will 90 down in history with other boxing immortals, although he never struck a blow in the prize ring.
 The death late yesterday of the veteran fight announcer was due directly to an old heart ailment, but the attack was induced by two days of excessive heat.
 Funeral arrangements have not been completed for the man with the booming voice who announced virtually all of New York's cham pionship sporting events during the last 40 years, but his son, George, who was at the bedside when death came at Humphreys Fair Haven, N. J., home, said that final rites would be here.
 Humphreys death was not a sur prise. He was 63 and had been in III health for three years. Despite the illness, he returned time and again to introduce fighters. He was scheduled for the introduction of Max Schmeling and Joe Louis last month but was too i'll.
 When Madison Square Garden installed microphones and an ann pIifying system, Humphreys regard. ed 1t as slur against his powerful lungs which carried his every worc clearly to the farthest corner of the vast auditorium. He refused to ust 1t for a time, but as he became more feeble he was forced to enlist the mechanical aid.
 Humphreys got his first. big chance in 1890 when none of the well-known announcers would dare appear for 8 benefit performance for a boxer named Tom Welch who had assaulted an expressman Humphreys did and his name as a sports announcer was made.

New York, July 11-(UP)-Therell be no need to ask "What's the shootin' for2" at Randall's Island today.
 For, on that patch of green an- chored midway in East river nearly 300 of Americas top runners, sprint CTS, jumpers and throwers will begin a two-day battle for the fifty-five (no more, no less) places on the Olympic track and field team.
 The boys will be shootin', no doubt about that. Whipped on by the dou- ble lash of burning competition and g desire to be waving from the deck when the s. s. Manhattan swings out into the harbor and heads for Berlin on Wednesday, legs, arms and hearts will be caled on for all they've got--and maybe little bi tmore.

Only Three Women
 Sure Of Making Olympic Swim Squad

New York, July 1l-(UP)-More than 30 of Uncle Sam's speediest women swimmers and most graceful divers began battling today in As- toria pool for a maximum of 10 places on the taen1 which will seek to continue American supremacy in the Berlin Olympics next month.
 Two Olympic champions of 1882 and il national titleholders were among the rnermaids who began churning down the white-corked lanes and leaping gracefully of the springboards in Q two-day test to decide which ones will defend Amer ica's title against the fast-improv- ing Danish, Japanese and Dutch swimmers.
 America has won every Olympic women's swimming title since 1t first competed in 1920.
 All of the trial events are cer- tain to be wide open battles with only three stars certain to make the team. They are Mrs. Eleanor Holm Jarrett of New York, Olympic back stroke champion in 1932; Mrs. Dor- othy Poynton HI lof Los Angeles, platform dive winner four years ago, and Mrs. Lenore Right Wingard of Homestead, Pa, the nations premier free-swimmer who is an odds-on favorite to take the 400-meter event. Mrs. Jarrett and Mrs. Hill will be seeking places on their third straight Olympic team.
 Katherine Rawls of Miami Beach, Fla, and Claudia Eckert, Willmette, H., will participate in four events to insure their chances of making the team. Both will show in the 100 and 400-meter free style. 200-meter breastroke and springboard dive.

Fight to Wage on All Sports Fronts

q have shown the Garden direc- tors that we can make money with out boxing and wrestling, and they are solidly behind me in my fight to hodl Braddock to his contract and to send him against the fore- most challenger, Schmeling," con- cludes Colonel Fitzpatrick.
 With Jacobs moving into the Hippodrome in the fall, the Garden will have first-rate indoor opposi- tion for the first time, and the war promises to be Q merry one. It will seem like old times, with every body bringing their own lawyer, etc.
 I doubt that whatever action Colonel Fitzpatrick and the Garden feels that 1t has to take will mean the end of boxing. however. If it is put out of business, the manly art of managing mugs will bounce right back again. It always has.
 Only a sturdy old dodge could have survived they ears that pro- fessionaI boxing has been kicked around by those protesting to pro- mott tt.

Chinese Officials Order
 Machine Strangulation

Peiping.-Provinclal police authori- ties are instructed to execute criminals with strangulatlon machines in an or der issued by the Chinese Ministry of Justice.
 The penal code provides strangu latiOn as the means of carrying out death sentences, but up to the pres ent it has been done by two men twist ing cord about the neck of the con vict
 Such a method Is declared less hu- mane than the prescribed machine, which, however, will work on the same principle of strangulation.
 In order to lessen the shock to the victim, the ministry further pre- scribes that the culprit be chloroformed prior to carrying out of the death sentence.
 Authorities in most places continue, however, to execute some prisoners by the simple expedient of revolver placed against the base of the skull of the .:neeling victim.

Puts End to Choking Sensation
 of Gas.

London.-A jab in the arm instead of the choking sensation of gas Is a new method of putting you to sleep In the dentists chair.
 The new drug Is called evipansodi- um, and 1t has been in use for some months, not only for dental work but for more serious operations.
 You sit in the chair. The anesthet- ist puts strap around your upper arm just as in taking a blood pressure
 A vein expands a little under the pressure. You feel a short jab of the needle.
 Tn second things become hay. You feel delightfully."- tired. Then you sleep
 There Is none of that swelling, burst ing. choking feeling that gas gives some people.
 You do not suspect the surgeon and the doctor of trying to suffOcate you.
 In fact, you do not suspect anything. You do not even dream as you do un- der gas

Dental Drug Makes Patients See Double

Meanwhile your teeth are being ex- tracted.
 Then you come round-sllghtly in- toxlcated. You see things double. You are not safe on your feet.
 And this Is the disadvantage of evipan. Unlike gas. you cannot go back to work after 1t. You must rest !; and sleep.
 But the evlpan method Is excellent for people who have had gas once and fear 1t.
 Almost everybody can have 1t, if the dentist Is given warning that 1t is wanted. The exceptions are people who have liver trouble or whose veins are too thin to take an injection.
 Eylpan. however, is more expensive than gas. It Is German discovery.
 Some dental experts are against us- ing It, on the grounds that not suffi- cient Is known about the drug.
 But 1t Is expected that when sufi- cient data are available It's use in den- tai and other operations will be more common.
