surance for the protection of its
athletes, establishing precedent in

undetermined sum Of several thous-
ands of dollars is built up, to be

EIGHT RECORDS
SHATTERED BY
OLYMPIC HOPES


NEW YORK, July 7UP - Uncle
Sans athletes have condemned at
least eight and possibly more Olym-
pic track and field records to scrap
heap in bringing themselves up to
peak condition for the final u. S,
team tryouts at Randalls Island, N.
Y, next Saturday and Sunday.
In advancing through regional
and sectional meets to the final
competition to decide who will rep
resent America in the quadrennial
games at Berlin this summer in five
field and three track marks have
been bettered ana others equalled.
The U. S. athletes should break
the Olympic records for the pole
vault, running broad jump, discus
throw, high jump, shot put, no.
meter hurdles, 400 meter hurdles
and the 3,000meter steeplechase
They already have bettered Olympic
standards for those events, and more
new marks may be established over
the week end when the competition
actually means whether they get to
make the trip,

Up AND COMING LAD
MEETS GRAVES FHERE

The battle OF the year. Herman
Graves vs. Johnnie Adams.
Adams. who halls from Los An
geles, will probably give Graves the
toughest fight of the year as John
ME has had about 20 fights and is
rated as one Of the comers in the
game.
He hits hard with either hand
and is capable of keeping away from
his opponents best punches.
Graves. however. will give The Los
Angeles boy plenty of chances to
show his ability to cover up. Graves
also has shown a good defense in
all Of his fights and will give the
Los Angeles fighter all of the action
he desires and perhaps more.
Chief Robbins, the veteran Indian
fighter from Casa Blanca who put
up a whale of a fight against Graves
here several weeks ago. will fight
Jose Gotta in the semi-Windup.
Gotta has trimmed several of the
leading valley fighters including
Toby Solorzano, and is capable Of
taking care of himself.
Don Benzor, southern California
lightweight champion, will trade
blows with Sylvester Lucio in num-
Der 5. Benzor mas run up a string
Of victories in the last two months
that is united by any amateur on
the coast.
Lucio, hard hitting BraWley light
weight, is capable Of putting up a
good fight but it is doubtful whether
or not he can stand up against the
champ.
Billie Miller, Ell Centro battler,
will tangle up with a mighty tough
opponent in Barney Reece in the
fourth bout Miller will be up
against a clever fighter and will
have to put forth his best efforts to
pull out a victory.
Eugene Boatwright will meet
Manuel Garcia, Joe Villegas will
trade punches with Clarence Fer
guson, Alex Romero will mix it with
K. Lastro and Red Moore will tackle
Gilbert Gotta.

Archie, told I might be interested
in telling in my story, how he has a
rest pulse OF only "A. This shocked
me tremendously, for I had always
believed that if a man didn't hit up
q brisk y he was in grave danger
Of dying. Good distance runners,
Archie explained, to the accompani
ment of Whacks on his ribs and
flanks by the trainer, have a low
pulse beat
Mine is exceptionally low" he
said. Even when I'm walking about
and exercising mildly, my heart
doesn't beat but around 60 or g.
With that fine flair for accuracy
which has marked my career as a
Journalist. I called the Academy of
Medicine after talking to Archie,
and asked Dr. Iago Galston how
about that A heart beat Of Archie's.
Entirely possible" DR.. GalstOn
answered. "A low beat is very com
mon among athletes who are good
in gruelling contests. Not many
athletes have a beat as low as "A,
however"
DR.. Galston explained the ad-
vantages of the low beat to mo, and
as I made it out, a low beat gives
the heart more time to rest. The
heart cycle consists of three phases
1.-The filling of the auricle, the fill
ing Of the Ventricle, and the rest
period. With a slow beat the rest
period is longer.
But to leave Archie's heart, and
| get back to Archie, who is stretched
out On a table, very bare. fArchie
is bare, not the table,
He's been running competitiVely

public school music. He's a cornet
player Carries his horn with him
at all times. Archie offered to play
me a tune, but having once heard a
cornet, said, no don't bother, and
went out a side door.

scored four runs to win the ball
game 4-3.
Burns, chucker for Stark's club,
was rated as the outstanding pitcher
of the tournament. He hurled the
Ell Centro team to 2 win over Ell
CaJon and then relieved Elmer Hill
in the eighth inning of the title

Burns did ok. for himself at the
