TODAY'S
SPORTS PARADE
Bv HENRY McLEMORE

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. IA. CUP)-
The camera is held in great rever-
ence out here in Hollywood and
such things as filters, shutters and
lenses are spoken of with a feeling
that most of US reserve for intimate
members of the family SO, sup
pose it is a bit tactless of me to
attack the camera in such a spot,
but recent events force me to.
I have no objections to the cam
era when it is kept in its place.
Fer example, I whole -heartedly
endorse camera when aimed at a
family group. Nothing, I believe,
binds family together SO much
as a group photograph. One look
at it is sufficient to convince each
member that, looking as he does,
ne is fortunate to have so many
other people who are willing to be
caught standing still with him.
I also endorse the camera when
aimed at mountains, lakes, papa
being buried in the sand at the
beach and other freaks of nature.
But do not endorse the camera
when it runs hog-wild at sports
events. In the past week I have
seen both professional and amateur
photographers interfere with the
performances of athletes who were
working for the money on which
their bread and butter depends. I
do not feel too harshly toward the
professional cameramen because
they too were working for their
photographer is another matter,
however. He has no stomach to
fill-only an album.
At the recent $4,000 Los Angeles
open golf tournament there were
285 players and 787 candid camera
men, and to be perfectly candid
about the candid cameramen, they
affected the scores of dozens of
players by taking shots at the
wrong moment. They were all over
the course, and in their efforts to
get unusual shots they did every
thing but sneak under the sweaters
of the players. And they didn't
time their efforts very well 1t
made no difference to them whether
their subject was in the middle of
his backswing or just lifting his
blade to try for a putt that meant
serious money. I feel quite sure
that many of these photograph
fiends must have albums full of
pictures entitled:
Puts ! caused 'em TO miss.
Drives I helped to hook.
Imperial Valley press., 1938-01-14

Championship hopes L nave
wrecked.
One of the most annoying fea-
lures of the candid cameraman is
his absolute refusal to take an Or
dinary picture, Every time he
snaps he must have something un-
usual Do you think he would be
satisfied with a plain, full view of
a golfer swinging? Either he must
have a distorted view of the club
head or one that shows nothing but
the players tense neck muscles at
the moment of impact.
Two nights ago I saw the Fred
Perry Ellsworth Vines tennis match
and the camera nuts became so
annoying that the players had to
suspend play and ask them for con-
sideration. Even after this per-
sonal appeal they continued to be
SO obtrusive that the real tennis
lovers in the gallery started to
chant
Throw 'em out Throw em out!'
Don't let this be construed as an
argument for the abolition of
cameras. For what would be left
on the magazine stands if the
cameras were banned? Moreover,
I love to have my picture taken,
and I love to take pictures with
my Brownie No. g. 1 don't mean
to brag but I once took a picture
of goat grazing that was given
prominent play in the Goat Graz
ers' monthly, which, incidentally, is
a publication that should be on
the living room table of every fam
lily in this country.
But to my credit let it be said
that l never let my enthusiasm
drive me to take a picture of
goat when ne was trying to sink
long putt for next months tin
can money.

By Burdette Kline
Post Press Sports Editor

The Champion can do no wrong
That apparently is the attitude
Of Manuel Ortiz, flyweight title
holder of the United States. who
recently returned from his success
ful tour Of the nation which brought
him his crown.
Thursday night in CaleXico Ortiz
came within an ace Of dropping a
decision TO Art Perez. Los Angeles
bantamWeight who lasted only two
fights in the Golden Gloves tourna-
ment in Los Angeles.
II was a different Ortiz who
staggered into the ring THURSDAY
night Either the champion has
decided that he doesn't need to
train or le has decided that all he
has TO do is wear his title belt and
scare his opponents into submis-
sion.
His bluff will work in most cases
but some night he will come across
another battler who will refuse to
be bluffed and who will give Ortiz
the beating of his career.
ORTIZ missed repeatedly Thursday
night in his bout with the Los
Angeles bantam and when Perez
opened up in the third and fourth
rounds he actually outfOught the
champion.
Only a terrific right hand which
caught Perez on the shoulder and
spun him to the canvas for no count
gave Ortiz the decision, a verdict
the crowd voted to Perez.
II was tie first time in Manuels
ring career that he left the ring
amid boos and his opponent was
cheered TO the rafters. And the
rafters at Calexico are very high.
Maybe the lesson Thursday night
will bring Ortiz around. make
better fighter Of him. We hope so

CALEXlCO, j a n IA. -
Manuel Ortiz, flyweight
champion of t h e United
States, successfully defend
ed his title in the main event
at the Calexico arena Thursday
night but he did not successfully
defend his popularity. That title
was taken by Art Perez who sub
bed for Bobbie Bowen.
Perez. who had conquered Bowen
in a recent fight, apparently was
in the ring with only one thought
in mind in the first two rounds.
That thought was TO last the dis
tance against hard hitting Ortiz.
Manuel vainly chased the elusive
Perez from corner to corner. But
Perez was not to be caught.
With the start Of the third round
however. Perez changed his style
He carried the fight TO Manuel
and outslugged the champion in
close fighting. He tipped rights and
lefts to Ortiz face and body to
take the round handily.
A right to the shoulder that floor
ed Perez in the fourth round for
no count lost him the verdict. That
margin gave Manuel the fourth
round and the fight. But all ap-
plause was for Perez when the fight
ers left the ring.
He took everything Manuel could
throw and was leading the bout
at the final gong.
Ike Blair provided the big upset
of the night when he outboXed
Wilson Mackey, one Of Los Angeles
leading welters,
Wilson took only the first round.
After that it was all Blair. In the
third round Blair had Wilson on
the verge of a k.o. but couldn't
provide the blow to accomplish the
feat.

BRUINS TO AID l TINY TH0MP SON
Boston Champs Want GOalie to Win Vezina
 Trophy Again

Boston, March 15 - (U.P) - The Boston Bruins, who clinched the American Division championship by defeating the second-place New York Rangers at New York Sunday night, oppose the Montreal Maroons in a National Hockey League con- test at Boston Garden tonight.
 Manager Art Ross of the Bruins said today that the Bruins would not let down until Goalie Tiny Thompson had won the Vezina tro- phy, awarded annually to the goal1e with the best defensive record.
 With two games to go, Thompson has had 84 goals scored against him while Davie Kerr of the New York Rangers has been beaten 88 times. The Rangers have one more game to play than the Bruins. Thompson has previously won the trophy three times.
 The Maroons, hopelessly enmesh- ed in the International Division cel- lar, are probably making their last appearance in Boston as Montreal team It is expected that the club franchise will be transferred to Cleveland next season.
 Roy Goldsworthy, Bruins third line wing who has been suffering from a charlie horse, is expected to return to action tonight. He will play with Gordon Pettinger and Art Jackson. Mel Hill, the youngster who has been filling in for Colds worthy, returns to the Bruins farm in Providence.
