Boy Kills Hunger Crazed
Lion With Pocket Knife

Maxwell Calf. - A 300 pound
mountain lion, maddened by hunger,
charged a school bus the other day
near here.
The Maxwell Union high school
bus had picked up seven children
at Stony Ford and was proceeding
along winding mountain road to-
ward Lodoga. Roy Rice was at the
wheel
Suddenly out of the underbrush
the huge cat leaped at the front Of
the stage. II landed on the hood,
scratched and clawed at the wind
shield, and them fell to the road.
The lion Immediately returned to the
attack and sank its teeth into one
of the front tires.
The motion of the wheel threw the
lion to the ground heavily, stunning
it.
Herbert Calcaterra, eighteen years
old, school senior, opened his pocket
knife, leaped from the door, and
sprang upon the lion. Holding the
lion by the ears, Herbert slashed its
throat before it regained conscious
ness.
Herbert proudly helped place the
lions carcass in the bus, Rice
picked up other students at Lodoga
and delivered all, including the lion,
at the high. school only few min
utes late for classes.
Farmers said that continued snow
in the mountains and the lateness of
the Landing season had driven the
lion to desperation from lack of
food.
The lion measured seven feet
from nose to tail and weighed near
ly 300 pounds.

WASN'T IN FETTLE,
SAYS CUNNINGHAM
! ,500.Meter Record Smash
er Says He Didn't Warm
Up Enough for Race.
BY DREW MIDDLETON.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Feb, 2s-The master
miller complained with some bitterness
that he didn't get warmed up enough
for that last race"
A ripple of laughter swept through
the locker room at Madison Square
Garden. The athletes had just re-
turned from watching Glenn Cum
ningham run the greatest indoor
metric mile in history to set an as
tonishing new indoor record of 3:48.4
for the 1900 meters in the National
A. A. U. championships Saturday
night.
Glenn looked a little hurt. mo, I
mean it. 1 had radio appearance
and got there little late Say. that
first half was slow, too-2:05, 1 un-
derstand. But I guess I can't kick
I've got to rest: have to run another
l.50O in the medley relay.
But" he said as he relaxed Tell
'em I'm not shooting at records. I'll
just run my races and let the records
take care of themselves
Fellow Athletes Awed.
Most of the other athletes stood
around with their mouths open look
ing at Cunningham. One of them.
jim Herbert, was struggling into
polo coat preparatory to a turn on
Ninth avenue and little fresh air.
Herbert had turned in a record Of
his own, half hour before. when he
had raced 600 meters in 1908 to set
new standard and beat the strongest
field in the meet. But all he could
talk about was Cunningham.
Did you see him tonight?" he
asked Gosh, he was good enough
last week, but tonight-man, he was
perfect. How are you going to beat
that fellow? He's got sense of tim
ing that's as good as stopwatch and
more heart than any one I ever saw"
Cunningham's race was impressive
from any angle. He was not pushed.
Peter Bradley of Princeton stayed with
him for most of the first half, and
Gene Venzke, Glenn's persistent
shadow, turned on brief squirt at
the start of the last quarter, which
served only to touch off Cunninghams
terrific drive.
Conditions Favored Lovelock.
The durable ex-Kansan. in set
ting new indoor record under
VenZke's old mark of 3:49.9, equaled
the time he turned in when he lost
the Olympic $500 meters to Jack
Lovelock at Berlin In 1886. Love-
locks outdoor record, set on that day,
is 3:478, but the conditions prevail
ing indoors enhance Glenn's indoor
record. His race was run on shorter
track, which means more turns, and
in the smoke-filled air of the Garden.
1t was one of the great performances
Of foot racing history.
There were lot of other athletes
around. Ben johnson, who had tied
the world record of 6.6 in winning the
60-meter sprint; Allan Tolmich, who
had clipped the 65-meter hurdles rec
ords to s.5 and then tipped hurdle
IN the finals and gone Oh the track,
and Herbert, winner over q great field.
They didn't want to talk about their
feats. They just talked about the red
jacketed Cunningham, who lay pant
ilg on the rubber's bench.

SERIOUS D|z DEAN
GIVES CARDS HOPE
HurIer Again Real Asset,

Paul Feared Through
BS the Associated Press.


NASHVILLE. Tenn, Feb 28.-
Dizzy Deans greatest mound perform
ances still are ahead of him IF he is
ready to do some earnest pitching
Sam Breadon. owner of the st. Louis
Cardinals. predicted today.
Calling Dean potentially the great
est hurler Of all time. Breadon said he
thought Dizzy has finally taken stock
of himself and has decided to quit
fooling around-I hope he sticks to it,
But I don't think we cSn count
on Paul (Dizzy's brother) sfly more" i"
he said. Il don't think he will ever
make successful comeback. He's 40
pounds overweight and probably won't
be able to get into shape"
Asks Pitching. Not Publicity.
Breadon. thumbing his purple sus-
penders gingerly, added the Cards
would be hard to head off in the
National League race If Dizzy came
through. Asked if Dizzy's sudden
serious turn wouldn't reduce publicity
given his club, he said:
Publicity? Fiddlesticks! What
we're interested in is pennants
I'D rather have Dizzy Dean that
wants to be the greatest pitcher in
the world than a Dizzy Dean that
wants to be the most publicized in
the world, and I believe now I've
got it."
Breadon disagreed with those who
have said the Cards lacked catching.
Must Watch Slaughter, Too.
Mickey Owen is liable to develop
into another Delaney, and Dor
Padgett. who is being moved in from
the outfield, handles himself like a
Hartnett.
And watch out for this boy named
Enos Slaughter He hit 1872 last
year Gn the American Association)
snd X he doesn't give Medwick a run
for his money in the outfield, I'll be
badly fooled"
