CROSBY RUNNERS
 EASILY DEFEAT. WEST HA||vENERS. II|I|'I
Bowen Sets Half Mile Mark in Shading Shea;
 YaIIOrle Takes Two

West Haven high school track and field athletes furnished only fair op- position to the strong Crosby squad yesterday afternoon at Hamilton park, the Blue and White squad winning by a IS point margin, 59h to AZ, the real feature of the meet being the renewal of rivalry be- tween Joe Shea and Bob Bowen, CroSby's start half-milers, Bowen winning yesterday from Shea in an- other tight finish, Shea having won last week in the state champion ships. Incidentally, the pace was so strong that Bowen ran the fastest half mile on record for the Hamil- ton park tracw, 2:O5. West Haven was plenty strong in the field events, which is Crosbyss only weakness that prevents the local contingent from being really great squad. ,Vollone won the, HOO again in 10 seconds flat and took fast quar- ter mill run In 52 seconds, Wally Pranskitis finishing second to Red in the century and going o nto win the 220 dash in stride Russo was second.

MAX 'MAD' WHEN .DRADDOCK DOES NOT LOSE TITLE
September Title Bout Is Killed as Result of Rul-
 ing By Commission

New York, June 4-(UP)-A rul- ing by the New York State Athletic Commission appeared today to have thrown the heavyweight situation into the worst muddle it has beer in since Max schmeling knocked out Joe Louis.
 The commission yesterday sus- pended Champion James J. Brad dock for failing to meet Schmeling Failure of the body to vacate Brad docks title left the heavyweight situation extremely doubtful.
 Schmeling. incensed because Braddock was allowed to keep the title, said the commissions ruling virtually "legalized" a Braddock- Louis title fight on June 9 in Chi- cago.
 Disappointed
 Max didn't want the commission to give him the title but he was hoping that the board would take it from Braddock and thus take the edge off the Chicago fight for which Braddock contracted after he had signed to meet Schmeling.
 The commission warned that any fighter who met Braddock while he was banned in this and affiliated states also would be suspended. Thus Louis, if he fights Braddock, also will stand suspended in New York.
 That, according to many observ- CTS, nullifieS chances for a heavy weight title fight here in Septem- Der. It had been generally expect cd that the commission would va- cate Braddock's title; that the win ner of the Louis -Braddock fight would be champion in some states and that to gain 8 clear claim to the championship he would have only to fight Schmeling in New York in September.
 Berlin, June 4-(UP)-The Voel- kischer Beobatcher bittely attacked the New York boxing commission today for not vacating the heavy- weight title of Jimmy Braddock who failed to shop up last night to fight Max Schmeling.
 Under a two line front page ban- ner. Beobatcher said:
 "This suspending Braddock is farce. The sentence is organized fraud against Schmeling's rights. Until now it was not clear whether the boxing commission participated in this maneuver, but now the evil dence has been produced.
 Suspension of the world cham pion' has no significance as he neither loses the title nor is bound to make good the injustice with in a specified time limit , The en- tire affair smacks or irony. The sense of justice in every civilized man will rise up against this corn- edy.
 "A far sportsman has been robbed of the fruits from a hard earned. victory. The whole affair throws an strange light on so-called American justice. The United States has saved the title for an indefinite time."

MEMS MODES ----- Comfort Styled Into Mems Swim Trunks
Elastic Makes Snug Garments Roomy

HollywoodianS vacGtioning in Ha- wall brought bac.- some new print ed cotton trunks that are consider ably gay-not to say giddy. They are dazzling with bright-colored floral designs, such as giant hibiscus blossoms, and other exotic patterns including batik effects and brilliant Indian plaids.
 Tops Aren't Extinct
 Perhaps you've noted by now that all the foregoing has to do with trunks. The fac. is that trunks are tops for masculine bathing and tops are mostly moth-balled away in trunks. But you can buy tops. either the conventional closed bottom shirt kind or those skeleton briefs that zlp onto trunks with slide fast eners. Bathing shirts with bold horizontal stripes are particularly smart.
 Though the fad for scmi-nudism continues, there is growing de- mand for shirts. Perhaps this is a belated realization that abdominal lard does not contribute to the es- thetic beauty of the seaside scene,I Or perhaps its merely a practical attempt to keep warm. After all,i even wet woolen swim shirt k warmer when the sun ducks behind a cloud than no shirt at all.
