Bob Wclch and Vic zemmonS di- vlded first honors in this weeks "kickers" handicap tournament.
 Bob and Vic each carded 73 to take tho prize. Speaking of this tournament it B now probably a good time to explain in detail the Fundamentals of this type of con- test. Each player is allowed beforc- hand to choose his own handicap. based on his average game, the idea being that his aggregate score than- dicap minus actual Bcorc) will fall somewhere between group of some ten or eleven consecutive numbers. These numbers are drawn from a hat Coe Dunn's preferably and if your aggregate score should be the same as one of them then you are declared winner and entitled to beg aims on the Cathedral steps or something. The fact that you your self choose your own handicap makes 1t possible that your chances of "Mother Victory" smiling on you, if you shoot in the f!ftics or sixties. as against those who live right and get thirties. are on an equal basis. There are no pairings, you simply come up on Sunday as you would any other Sunday, regis ter and hand in your handicap then go out and play 18 holes by yourself or with your friends. The prizes consist of Seventy-five cent s.alls. forgot to mention that there is an entrance fee of twenty-five

Berlin. July 3O.--(UP)--Unlcss Jack Torrance, the slumbering, numbering policeman from Louisiana throws off an attack of acute lazl- ness, which he caught on the boat from the United States, Head Coach Lawson Robertson of the American Olympic team plans to engage the head elephant trainer of the Tier. garten Zoo aB assistant coach.
 "1t is q desperate measure, this hiring an elephant trainer" Rob- ertson said. "but this surely Is 6 desperate case. Elephants aren't supposed to forget anything. and Torrance certainly has forgotten to putt the shot. All he can rcTnem- ber b German enough to ask the dining room waiter for lots more of everything and how to sleep 12 hours day without batting an eye"
 German Favored
 IL iB not at all certain, however, that the zoo trainer will be avail- able. For if he, with his elephant hooks and whips. should succeed in rouslng the Bayou behemoth to lighting pitch, the Germans chances of winning the shot would be great ly minimized. With Torrance bur- dcned down by extra helpings of everything on the menu. including water, he can't toss the cannon ball within five feet of hig world record, and Germanys Hans Woelke seems like a lead pipe cinch.
 If Hans does win the event, it will give Germany It's first gold emdal in history, and Germany are all set to greet 1t with 100000 "Heil HitIcrs" and hot cha cha. So you see if the trainer from the zoo illustrates Woelke by bringing Torrance to top form--at which point he is unbeat- able--the Nazis probably would take the shackles off the elephants and put them on him, and then toss him into 6 concentration camp until he grew trunk.
 Coach Robertson revealed that the 330-pound Torrance is at his best when mad, and admitted that the coaches had been doing everything DAb obAIAAtb RAAAo HAAA AAAAAAAE his bed with cracker crumbs in the hopes of sending him off In one of mountainous rages.
 Jack can throw that damn ball clean out of the park when he is sore at something" Robertson said. but we just haven't been able to break q frown in his everlasting good humor. What we need out here at the village is more annoy ances. It's too perfect and Jack can't find anything to find fault with. Yesterday, when he couldn't throw the shot more than 50 feet. we held 6 meeting and decided to try and inspire him. You know. stars and stripes. glory of country stuff. I was supposed to be q com- mittee of one to work him up.
 "Weli. I gave it to him. laid it on thick. but It didn't do any good. Yu know believe he's too big. One man might be able to inspire part of him,

looking like nothing 90 much as Q weary elephant, he reached the put- ing strip, and he looked more like an elephant when he stepped into the white putting ring. Any moment, you felt, he might rear up on his hind legs like Ringing brotherS' elephants. Ills heaving was ordin" ary. The iron business not only didn't go very far, but it didn't go very straight. It kept slipping out or his hand and flying off sideways. much to the concern of spectators, who turned their backs irl fear that the 10 pound chunk of hardware might bop them on the noggins. But Mir. Torrance seemed highly tinwor- ried over his lack of form.
 I asked him how his bad back was and he said tits still got the mis- erles". Jack is one of the few athletes who ever was injured sit- ting down. His back is sore because he travelled 5000 miles in his auto mobile in two weeks. His back and there is enough of it to supply outxlum B0rglum with enough carving ground for q year--stiffened up. He's eaten five meals Q day and worn two mattresses iEl an eI- fort to eat and sleep it off-Dut it hasn't worked.

LYMPIC HEADS REMAIN SILENT
 OVER FIGHTERS
Suspended Boxers Given No Opportunity to Talk
 to Reporters
By STUART CAMERON United Press Sports EdItOr)


 Berlin, July 30.-(UP)-Ofiic of the American olympic team, em- barrassed by the publicity given the suspension of Eleanor Holm Jarrett, adopted Q "hands off" police today in the mysterious dismissal of two members of the boxing squad, Joe Church, Batavia, N. r., feather weight, and Howell King, Detroit negro welterweight.
 Church and King, dropped from the team yesterday, were aboard the U. s. liner Manhattan today bound for home. Why they were given no opportunity to talk with reporters remained mystery.
 Endanger Morale
 Joe Davis of Chicago, manager of the boxing team, said: "The boys were homesick and their mental at- titude 50 endangered the morale of the boxing squad that they had to be sent home"
 Avery Brundage, president of the American olympic committee, pro- feSsed to know nothing of the de- tails,
 Meanwhile, track and field ath- letes seemed approaching peak con. dition in today's workout. Head Coach Lawson Robertson and others were convinced that the athletes are getting accustomed to the cool, damp weather.
 Skies were cloudy again today, and there was Q threat of rain. The track, however, appeared fast, haV- Ing been packed down with rollers after the showers of earlier in the week.
 While the athletes were working out American Olympic committee officials announced the official sa- luteS to be used in passing Adolf Hitler during the opening ccrcmo. nies Saturday.
 The male athletes will salute Hit. Ter with their straw hats held in their right hands, extended at arms length and shoulder high about midway between straight front and straight right. The deci- sion to include straw hats in the mems salute makes 1t certain that no one will misinterprct the gesture aB 6 Nazi salute.
 Women Give Salute
 The women athletes will give the regulation olympic salute, with the right arm extending shoulder high and more to the front than to the right.
 A dress rehearsal of the American teams parade was scheduled for this afternoon. Lawson Robertson is the veteran parader of the Ameri- can squad, having participated in eight previous olympic ceremonies as athlete and coach.
 Alfred Jochin, Union City, N J., veteran member Of the gymnastic squad, has been chosen to carry the stars and stripes and to take the Olympic oath on behalf of the American team. His color bearers will be James W. O'Connor, Venice, Calf, and Fred Lauer, Chicago, water polo players who have par. ticipated in three previous Olympics.

C|ESLEWSKI TO TAKE ON YOUNG
 TATA TONIGHT
Al Smith Opposes George Backman Tomorrow in
 Chase Semi.Finals

Tonight at c o'clock, John Tata vs. Henry Cieslewski; tomorrow night at 6, George Backman vs. Al Smith. That's the semi-flnal set- up in the Chase Park tennis tourna- ment as q result of yesterdays quarter final round matches which saw Cieslcwski, Smith and Back man all win rather handily.
 Cieslewski was formidable fig ure as he crushed Joe Sullivan ir 6-l, 6-0, fashion and showed him. self to be in top form. The de- lending champion rushed through to his triumph in most impressive style and his battle with Tata toe night, and 1t will be just that, should be Q heart- t-thumper. Tata was the first player to reach the semIs as he whipped Martin Tierney Tuesday. He recently copped the Litchflcld county title at Watertown and from him is expected the most serious opposition to Clesiewski'S reign over the local net world.
 Al Smith and George Backman the other semi- finalists, also won in straight sets yesterday, Smith reg istering an unexpectedly easy 0-3, 8-l, triumph over John Stollar and Backman coming through over young Lou Aucello, 0-i, 6-2.
 Bob Blewitt, who is directing the play, has announccdf that the finals will be held Saturday afternoon in- stead of Sunday as originally sched- uled.
