DANCING MASTER
HOOTS ATHLETES
Shawn at 47 Defies Basket
and Football Players
to Hold His Pace.
BY GAYLE TALBOT.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK. Feb. 28.-One Of the
more interesting physical specimens
. persons runs into on the brink of
the baseball season Is Ted Shawn,
the pappy Of the dance. who still is
convinced he's in the most strenuous
racket of them all.
It's laugh to the veteran barefoot
floor thumper-these kids Of from 20
to IS piling into Florida and other
sunshine centers on serious. ex-
pensive crusade to get themselves into
condition to play couple of hours
Of baseball some afternoons.
Now, if the diamond magnates
would listen to the 47-year-old Ted,
he could save them all that money.
A few simple polkas and schottishes
that Shawn could teach the lads to
do on winter evenings would bring
them into the spring as timber as a
buggy whip. Larry MacPhail of the
Dodgers. who hasn't turned down an
idea yet, might be interested.
Shawn's Appearance Convincing.
One look at Shawn, himself, Is
pretty convincing. At an age when he
should know better. the CRAVING macs
tro still is tearing around the coun-
try on breathless schedule, pounding
boards almost every night as hard and
as loud as any of the eight young
huskies who make up his team.
Il would like to see one Of these
football or basket ball stars try to
stay with us for week, unless I had
given him the usual preliminary train
ing" snorted the big fellow. There's
no sport that calls for anything like
the stamina and muscular control,
unless maybe it's boxing. A fighter
like Joe Louis. though, brings himself
up to the peak only two or three
times a year. My boys must hold
1t almost IL months of the year"
All Of Shawn's supporting cast are
former college athletes, and a couple
Of them won certain sectional fame
as pole vaulters and decathlon cham
pions. But they admit frankly that
they didn't know what training was
until Ted started cracking the whip.
When they aren't on the road they
practice eight and nine hours every
day.
Says He Hasn't Slowed.
At A. Shawn sUears he can shake
as fast foot as ever, though an
occasional critic thinks he detects a
slight slowing up on the hills. In
appearance he is about 10 years
younger. and he still packs the same
1875 pounds he started with. AS a
standing proposition, he would like to
match stamina and muscular control
with any athlete near his age
In fact, Ted makes fast dancing
sound like the fountain of youth. It's
only when he digs into another
favorite theme of his. the relation of
dancing to various sports, that you
begin getting fidgety. He thinks. for
instance. that basket ball is pure
dancing" and that a little practical
terpischore would make another Red
Grange out Of many a run-of-the mill
halfback.
You may. Of course. take that or
leave it strictly alone.

FALL FATAL TO
 DAVID C0ND0N
Park Department Employe Fails to Regain Con-
 sciousness Up to End

A fall of not more than five or six feet from atop bear cage at the Hamilton Park zoo Monday aft ernoon caused the death last night of David M. Condon, 69, of 152 Vol colt street, park department en- ploye.
 MT. Condon did not regain con- sciousness from the time of his fall Monday afternoon until his death at 8:45 last night at St. Mary's hospi- tai. A severe brain concussion was the cause of death.
 Dr. J. Henry McGrath attended MT. Condon after the accident. Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum, medical ex- aminer, gave permission for the re- moval of the body after viewing it.
 The park department worker was engaged in cleaning out a water tank on top of the bear cage when he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He apparently struck his head in the tumble.
 Born in Southbury, MT. Condon had been a resident of Waterbury for more than 25 years. He was a parishioner of the Church of the Sacred Heart.
 Surviving are a daughter, Loretta, of this city, and brother, William, of Woodbury.
 The funeral will be held at 8:15 Friday morning from the home, 152 Wolcott street, to the Church of the Sacred Heart, where a solemn mass Of requiem will be sung at 3 o'clock
