CUTRONE LIKE GREAT HEAvIES,
 HE'S JAMES j.
Friedman Certain Youth Is Jeffries COrbett
 Combination
By JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff COrrnesondAntl

 Los. Angeles, July 20. (UP)- Good Time Charley) Friedman, the boxing entrepreneur who gave America Primo Camera and aJck Doyle, has decided to square that debt with Q white hope-a young man who is supposed to have the better quantities of all the former heavyweight champions.
 The "hope" is James J. Cutrone, le-year-old Flushing, N. Y, Italian, and the rnildest adjective with which Friedman described him in an hour press conference was "sen- sational." The veteran manager, probing with an index finger, un- covered these features in his fight CT:
 l. The best punches of Bob Titz- simmnos and James J. Jeffries.
 2. The boxing skill of James J. Cobrett, or perhaps aJck Johnson.
 3. The brain and ring generalship of Gene Tunney.
 1. A "killer" instinct at least equal to that of Jack Dempsey. This admission was made only tentative, Friedman reserving the right to alter it at a later date.
 Nine Knockouts on Record
 To the observer, Cutrone's three most valuable assets are his first name and initial, profile cut on the Robert Taylor pattern and 8 record of nine consecutive knock outs-all executed in three rounds or less. He is built on long; lean lines, and in 8 year or two should add approximately 25 pounds to his present 180.
 The youth represents one of the few prize fighting ventures Fried man has made with a home prod uct. For years the manager has tramped foreign fields, delving into remote hinterlands in search of big boys. Size is the first point in which Friedman is interested.
 In the case of his most noted importation-Carnera-his contem- poraries hinted that size was the only thing in which he was interest ed. Other Friedman finds winch passed customs inspections were Knute Hansen of Sweden. Eugene England, and Prince Selah Fl iDn, Cirque of France, Len Harvey of supposedly of Egypt. But Cutrone surpasses them all.
 Not Quite Ready for Louis
 "You really haven't seen any, thing-anything, mind you-until you've watched J. M. J. in a ring" Friedman confided loudly. He was so hot in New oYrk that I was forced to whisk him out here to get him away from those syndicates. Why I was holding my breath, I was so afraid they would try to throw himb in with Joe Louis for title fight. He isn't ready for Louis-not quite."
 Cutrone has not as yet been matched locally, but Friedman in. timated that he was open for of- fers, not for the money involved, but merely to season" the boy for a title shot.
 Friendman added, however, that his mind isn't complete free of im- portations. If plans work out, his next piece of piece of baggage will be Mongolian. This specimen is Digger than Camera, weighs about 275, and is so tall that he constant ly has 6 headache from scraping his head against clouds"

Providence Player Scores I42 .-- Clare, Grant Tied
 at l49--Chan1p Off Form

Winchester, Vt, July 29-(UP- Rhode Island had the fewest num- Der of qualifiers today as the New England amateur golf champion ship reached the match play stage, but the smallest state boasted the tourney medalist - 2i-year-old Charlie Round of Providence.
 Shooting sensational golf, the Providence youth paced a field of 96 starters in the 36-hole qualify ing round yesterday. He pieced to- gethcr a 73 and a blazing 69 to top the list of GA qualifiers with l42 total,
 Deadlocked for second at IA were two former champions from Con- necticut-Charlie Clare of New Ha- ven and Bobby Grant of Wethers- field-and another Providence en- try-Ray Lenahan.
 Massachusetts had the greatest number of qualifiers-22. Next in order were Connecticut. 12: Yer. mont, 10; Maine and New Hamp- shire eight each and Rhode Island four.
 Art Rogers of Winchester and Art Peterson of Fitchburg topped the Massachusetts qualifiers with scores of l46 each. T. J. Leonard Jr., of Nashua paced the New Hampshire delegation with i4s. Tom Pierce oi Rutland headed the Vermont field with 148 while Johnny Boyd of Portland was Maine's leader with Q 1855.
 Defending Champion Johnny Le. vinson of Kennebunkport, Me. qual- flied with an unimpressive l57. The qualifying deadline was l63.

ing probably will find work on this side. Because Promoter Jacobs has mapped out fight program for his f1ghters-and try and name fighter who isn't under the all embracing 20th Century wing-that is ambi- tious to say the least. Beside card with four champions on it, Mike has arranged for Jimmy Braddock to meet Maxie Baer, which should be very choice thing to miss un- less the boys promise to put on better show than they did when the title was at stake. That fight still stands as the worlds worst heavy weight title duel.

CENTURY DASH
 IN g FLAT DUE,
 TRAINER HOLDS
Louis Liebgold Says Mark Is Certain for Some
 Natural Runner
By JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff Corresnondenf


 Hollywood CUP Louis Lieb- gold, veteran athletic trainer who once won more medals than he could pin on his chest, predicts that track and field records con- stantly will be lowered until they reach the equivalent of a 9-second 100-yard dash.
 Liebgold, whose spryness bellies his gray head, admits he dislikes to discourage the youths who es- tablished world marks during the past season. but insists it's as sure as sunshine in Florida that vir- tually every one of those records will be bettered substantially within a decade.
 "The only thing that will hold back the marks is the matter of training routine. Track athletes must tarin hard, but they are stimulating their hearts to much by bending, riding the bicycle and extensive warm-ups," he said.
 Puts Emphasis on Rest
 Their bodies are in shape, so they forget that by overworking they tire themselves and have nothing left at the finish of race. An athlete should rest fully "A hours before a race and do little exercise before he runs. If this restraint can be added to im- proved techniques, there Is no telling just how far some of these marks can be lowered"
 Liebgold is an expert in his profession. He was champion walker and marathon runner two dozen years ago, and has spent his life in training others. Some of his charges were Benny Leon- ard, lightweight boxing champion; Mrs. Millie Gade Corson, second woman to swim the English chan nel; Rube Marquard, New York Giant pitcher, and Bernie Wefers, first man to break 10 seconds in the 1oo-yard dash.
 I'm laughed at when say that the g second hundred Is a certainty" the squat, nattily dressed veteran explained. sim ilarly, WeferS laughed when told him that a 10-second hundred was a certainty and that he would do 1t. He did.
 Must Be Natural Runner
 "1t won't be done by a man who is working under a bigoted coach or one who is too great stickler on techniques. Forms change, of course, but occasionally there hap pens along boy who is great natural runner. This Is the type on which we must pin hope. Just a dash of technique can make him world beater, but two clashes of the same can ruin him. He must be handled just right"
 Liebgold has seen a lot of boys come and go, at dozens of meets and several Olympic games cham pionships. He was chief judge of walking and bicycle events at the Olympics in Los Angeles in 1892 He and brother, Sam, dominated walking championships between 1889 and 1906, when athletes wore handle mustaches. After re- tiring for four years he came back to win six of eleven he came back to win six of eleven of the New York Old Boys heel-and-toe events, the last when he was 55. While training Leonard, Lieb- gold was the first man who stopped the practice of rubbing down boxer between rounds.
 "It tired him out" he explained Benny was always better without 1t. Soon other managers were convinced their boys were better without 1t, too. Maybe some day I can put over the same point on the track and field coaches. Then watch that 9-second hundred"

You really need to know very lit- tie to raise happy dog. But how important, 1t is to be sure that little is right.
 There's that mistaken idea that dogs need lots of baths in hot weather. It's all wrong! Dogs don't have sweat glands-but they do have oil glands which excessive bathing dries up. Then skin trou- bles begin. Much better to keep your dogs coat clean with daily combing. f.v
 And the idea that eating meat makes a dog vicious. From the time he's three weeks old a dog should eat beef, lamb and liver.
 Important, too, to know the dif- ference between an ordinary fit and rabies symptoms. Contrary to popu- lar belief, dogs with rabies do not froth at the mouth. s.i

The boy has right to adven- ture, but there are times when he must be saved from. himself, as he little knows the hopeless danger of sink holes and the tragic sly- ness of leaking skin,
 It is water time, swim time, all the rest of it. The lad will looL ct the ocean and say, I'm mol afraid of you, old boy" or at tht calm pond and cry, Get out oi my way, baby," as his spindle slaanks trail him in the dive like the legs of a wild goose in his fres heaven. But he is intrepid because he does not know danger. And wa ter is danger, always.
 All children should learn to swim and not perhaps. They should gel over their emotional fear of water as foe, but they should never lose their hearty respect for 1t as an element.
 Dangers to Avoid
 Therefore, water education means much more than mere swimming or floating. It means the much harder lesson, memorizing and living the motto, Never Take Chance"
 Accident on land seldom inter- feres with the mechanics of breath ing. Mishaps on water, or in 1t, cuts of life at its very source, and there is little to do about 1t.
 Therefore some rules so hard and fast that they allow no qualifying should be part of every child's charter of rights to swim.
 "Never 8 river" There may be safe ones, but I never hear of them. Anything big enough to be dignified by the name IS sure to be full of tricky currents, suck holes, or Quicksand. Maybe all. Maybe none. But unless we know every inch across in both directions, for distance, we and it are enemies on truce, for as long as we stay apart.
 Never a ships dock anywhere" ]" The reasons are obvious. Such wa ter is always deep, full of refuse at bottom and interlaced below with PAAS0 6AlQ oORPO1 bo' 4AAoA NOSAo have swift currents, and Suction is always present near boats.
 Never an untried beach on either lake or sea-" Let experts do the exploring and proclaim the stretch "safe for bathers."
 "Never a plunge into water any where when not feeling we'll" Cramp is unpredictable, but the chances for cramp are greater when the swimmer is under par from fatigue or illness.
 "Never a solo swim" This de- pends on circumstances, but young CT children should not swim alone.
 And never deep water-untii swimming has been completely mastered"
 Floating is as important as swim ming. Children should learn it. The tired one may turn on his back, relax, and muster strength to get back to the shore that is farther away than he thought.
 There is lot of water. Choose the friendly places, or none," tell the children. And incidentally, we need still more accessible city pools where bathing Is comparatively safe.

 Ambulant Treatment
 A year ago received nine injec- tions for hernia, and paid the full fee. The doctor told me to remove the truss only after I was in bed and not to leave it of when l was on my feet until six months. Then I felt slight sensation peculiar to hernia, and returned, for another infection. Ought I continue with him or go to another doctor? GA. F. P)
 Answer-From what you say, it is my opinion that you should stick with the doctor. Injection treat- ment fails in some cases, just as radical operation does.

Ripeness in melon is no test of its flavor. How did it ripen? Answer that and you can tell in ad- vance how it will taste. Ripening on healthy vines is the secret of well-flavored melons. And the best way for you to tell if melon has ripened on the vine is to examine the stem scar.
 If the scar is smooth, clean and cuplike, it means that the melon was picked at "full-slip" or when ripe enough for the fruit to sep arate easily from the stem. A melon picked at "half-slip"-or at Q less ripe stage-will have some of the stem adhering. If there is e little secretion of sugar around the stem scar it is fairly safe in- dition that the melon is sweet enough for your table.
 Which Melons Are Which
 Do you know your melons? They rate careful study, particularly from June on. when the market is full of them. Americans call many melons cantaloupe which are really musk melons. A cantaloupe is really one

out centers. Mix cottage cheese with tender chives, chopped, and place the cheese in center of the cold, but not over-chilled, melon. It makes an, ideal summer luncheon dish.
 Honeydew served in cleaning crescents with sections of vivid green lime alongside make as cool ing and as welcome summer des- sert as any epicure could sigh for. They are equally delicious for breakfast.
 CantaIoupe Salad
 A pinkish yellow cantaloupe. peeled and cut lengthwise in long strips, can be turned into beauti- full salad. Lay the strips on lettuce leaves and serve with a French dressing made of olive oil and lemon juice and very little salt and pepper. There are many varieties of melon salads. ice creams, etc., but melon Is usually able to stand by itself and as a general rule is far better for the single life. So use them for the most part as melons, not as something else to put in fruit cup or a salad. Given a chance, they can reveal flavor and zest all their own.
