TARTAN BROWN CAPTURES

colorful ten-mile Marathon plod at the
Boston Caledonian Clubs seth annual
Scotch picnic and games at the Gale

Saturday afternoon.
In every race he has engaged in
since winning the Boston Marathon
last April, the AAU "biggies" seem to
be a genuine nemisis to Tarzan, max
ing it their business to torment him
about one thing or the other. The
reason for this must all be quite clear
to the little brown-skinned plodder by
now. The argument put forth by the
"biggies" seemed in it's essence ugly
and cheap; something concerning a
large tear in the front section of his
jersey just above his trunks. They
Immediately requested him to replace
this jersey. informing him that it was
strict AAU rule to wear full track
uniform in all AAU sponsored races.
Tarzan threatened to withdraw from
the race, then and there; but, his oppo-
nents begged him to remain. One of
hhis opponents borrowed a jersey for
him to finish the race winner Tarzan
won the race over the last 200 yards

BITS FROM HERE AND THERE
By Lee Pervis

While rumors were being circulated
that Henry Armstrong would quit the
ring because of bad hands, Eddie
Meade, Armstrong; manager, steps
forth with the statement that Arm
strong may not defend his welter-title
because of over weight. The little man
is filling in chunkily. And to cause
the ring fans more to talk about,
Henry may fight Garcia for the middle
title, provided that Garcia beats
Apostoli in Oct. for the title. The cir
culating ring chatter causes plenty
hubbub and plenty of hubbub makes
sporting life as it should be!
A well known daily printed a story
about three big league ofav managers
to the effect that Connie Mack of the
Athletics was tactful pessimist; that
Bill Mackenzie, former Bee manager
and present Cincinnati pilot; was a
marvel as psychologist in reviving
old ball players to heights of their for
mer days and lastly, that John Nc
Graw was noted for playing a colored
man as Cuban or dark Latin (but
not from Harlem or Manhattan). But
