NATIONAL RING SHOW READY FOR
 CHAMPIONSHIPS
Three=Day Event Starts With l28 Bouts at BOs=
 ton Arena

 Boston, April 8-(UP)-Fistiana's three-ring circus, the National Anna teur Boxing championships, start to- day with 184 competitors alert for the leap into the melting pot" from which eight titlists will emerge.
 Weighing-in ceremonies began this morning. Boxers waited in line for 8 final check by staff of clerks and physicians. The first bout was scheduled to enter the ring at 3 p. m. The N. A. A. U. Boxing committee voted last night to limit all bouts through the quarter finals to two- minute rounds instead of the usual three.
 Carpenters set up three rings in Boston Garden for the opening of the three-day tournament that off, cials predicted would be the greatest in the 33-year history of the cham pionships.
 Battlers, black, white, red and yell low, were ready for initial tests that will chop the field to GA before to- days eliminations are completed. They represent 30 district associa- tions from all sections of the nation and the Hawaiian Islands. If the entire entry list appears and none are rejected in physical exams, 128 bouts will be offered today. Eight Champions
 The fortunate GA will trade punches for 32 quarter final berths tomorrow night. Those with the hardest wallops, most skill and en- durance, battle Wednesday night in 16 semi-fnal bouts and eight final bouts. Thus, an octet of tired but triumphant youths will become 1940 national champions.
 Lone holdover from last years titlists crowned at San Francisco is Cozey Storace of Rome, N. Y. Stor- ace defends his welterweight cham pionship against 24 contenders, larg- est number of entries in any divi- sion.
 A heavy advance ticket sale indi- cated the tournament will smash box office records in this city where the show always has been financial success. The championships have been held there every year but six since 1907.
 Twenty-nine states were repre- sented by youths, most of whom have earned their places by winning sectional titles in elimination series. Last minute entries were received from the New Jersey and Indiana associations. A majority of associ- ations have entered eight-man teams.
 Koreans, Indians Listed
 From the standpoint of racial makeup, one of the most unusual teams is that representing the Pa cif1c association. Two Korean broth CTS, Paul and Richie Shinn of San Francisco, will fight in the 126 and 135-pound classes respectively. Their teammates include two Indians, Lawrence Rave of Stewart, Nev., and Al Carlisle of Fresno, Cal.
 New England has entered an eight-man team in seven divisions. This section has failed to win a championship since lightweight Richard (Ticky) Ford of Lawrence cleaned up in 1888. Best chance in this tournament seems to be the double entry of Larry Pacino and Joe O'Donnell in the middileweight class.

De Mar Dreams
 He Will Run We'll
BY CLARENCE DE MAR Written for the United Press

Keene, N. H., April 8.-lUP)- When toe the starting line in the Boston A. A. race April 19, l will be competing in my 81st marathon and my 22nd Boston grind. I think that is a pretty good record for fellow who will be 52 years old in June.
 During my long running career, I have won the B. A. A. classic seven times and finished first in about 13 other marathons.
 Recently I dreamed I did remark ably well in the race this Patriots s day. My dreams in the past have been an accurate barometer of my actual running.
 Les Pawson of Pawtucket, R. l., winner in the recent North Medford 2O-mile race, is the man to beat in the B. A. A. I did not run in the North Medford because it was too cold.
 Pawson's closest competitors prob ably will be Tarzon Brown, Don Heinicke, Gerard Cote and Johnny Kelley in that order. , I have been in training all winter and expect to be in good shape. My legs are feeling fine and my wind is as good as ever. I have been run ming from 10 to 20 miles daily. The 26-mile- -385-yard distance doesn't worry me. In fact I think I could run 50 miles.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

Agusta, Ga, April 8-(UP)-Ten years ago he was the emperor Jones, and the golf world lay at his feet.
 His were the open championships of America and Great Britain, and his were the amateur champion ships of the same countries.
 All those who swung clubs for 8 living, and all those who swung for fun, bowed down to him.
 The decade of yesterdays has done something to the once perfect swing of the master, and it has robbed his butter of its magic. Time has mar ched on in that way.
 But time has brushed lightly, If at all, the man Bobby Jones.
 Erosion has met its master in the qualities of his sportsmanship, the steel of his character.
 Those of us who saw him yester- day during the final round of the Masters Golf Tournament know that, and even more than ever we recognize him as the Emperor Jones.
 Out of the tournament with an injury that he fought for two days, before yielding, Jones, the mightiest golfer of them all, became simple marshal; a fellow with an armband. sweating and working, and running and yelling to keep the crowds in line in order that those who were playing the game he loves SO well might play it well.
 Long Walk
 He must have walked 72 holes during the afternoon, clearing the path for the Picards, the Demarets, the Woods, and all the others. Late in the afternoon saw him stretch ed out under a tree, dog tired, hot, and disheveled. The picture of him there will stay with me as the most vivid memory of the seventh Mas tar'S chamniOnShin I saw h0le in

DEMARET SETS BACK SICKNESS TO WIN MASTERS
Texan Has Four Stroke Edge With 28O, Eight
 Under Par at Augusta
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports EditOr)

Augusta, Ga, April 8.-(UP)-Give him fair weather or foul, sickness or health-little Jimmy Demaret is the hottest thing in golf today.
 He added to his incredible streak on the winter circuit at dusk yes- terday when he came up the back nine of the Augusta National Golf club for a par-breaking T to win the masters tournament with a 72- hole total of 280.
 That made him winner in six of the II major tournaments in which he has played on the winter circuit an achievement comparable to a baseball player hitting 800 or half back scoring eight touchdowns in football game.
 Demaret did 1t the hard way, too He was sick man when play start ed Saturday and even considered withdrawing from the tournament But after half hours delay he went out on this long, rugged course and banged home a 70-two under par to stay in the running against one of the toughest fields that man meets on any golf course.
 Nine Holes in 30
 But his shining achievement oc- cured on the first day of this tour nament, Thursday. The wind was ripping out of the southeast and rain was dripping from sullen sky when Demaret turned the first nine in 37. Then he really got hot and came up the back nine with a heart stopping 30-one of the greatest competitive nine holes ever shot. That was the signal that the Hous- ton kid was hot and the price on him to win dropped from to 1 to 3 to 2.
 The tip-of on how hot Demaret was in this tournament is that he won by four strokes. No player has ever won it before by more than two strokes. Demaret was eight under par for the 72 holes with rounds of 67, 72, 70 and Il. The victory gave him first money of $500 and brought him into the lead for win nings on the winter circuit with a total of $7,652.
 The only man who ever threatened to press Demaret in this tourna- ment was a comparatively unknown pro named Lloyd Mangrum, who snatched the leadership the first day with two 32's for a GA, finest round of golf ever shot in major competition.
 But he never got back on that pace or even near it and wound up with 284-four shots behind Dem- aret.
 How They Finished
 Third man at 285 was Byron Nell son, National Open champion, and after that this is the way the lead CTS finished: at 287 Harry Cooper, Ed Dudley and Willie Goggin; 288, Henry Picard, Craig Wood and Sam Snead; 290, Tony Penna and Ben Hogan; 291, Paul Runyan and Frank Walsh.
 Ralph Guldahl, defending cham pion, was far down in the ruck with 292, and low amateur was Charles Yates of Atlanta, former British amateur champion, with 293.
 Prize money was distributed as follows: Demaret, $1,500; Mangrum, $500; Nelson, $500; Cooper, Dudley and Goggin, $400 each; Picard, Wood and Snead, $2O0 each; Penna and Hogan, $1O0 each; Runyan and Walsh, $50 each.

TARTAN BROWN COPS
 TEN=MILE MARATHON

Boston, April 8.-(UP)-Ellison (Tarzan) Brown of Westerly. R. l.. two time winner and course record holder, appeared set to defend his Boston A. A. Marathon title April 19 after his showing in the present. ation 10-mile test.
 Brown, who galloped to the new mark for the 26-mile- -385-yard course last year, showed plenty of speed in winning the time prize in the pre- sentation handicap Saturday. Leslie Pawson of Pawtucket, R. l., another double B. A. A. victor, was second on the time basis. Anthony Paskell, 32-year-old Boston restaurant em- ploye. was first to cross the line aid- ed by a five-minute allowance.

one, 8 brassie shot go in cup for on eagle, and a magnificent stand by Demaret when he was almost too sick to stand up. But Jones, out there under pine, resting from the unselfish task of making it easier for others, will be the thing that will carry longest in my memory. It will stick longer with me than the sight of Jones standing under the trees at Merton, ten years ago, to receive the cup for the American Amateur Championship that com- pleted grand slam" that none of us now living will see accomplished again.
 Big Hand
 Then came the presentation of the winners. Jones walked out with an arm around Jimmy Demaret, the winner, and I know Jimmy well enough to know that he felt that the rousing applause was as much for Bobby as it was for him. As a mat ter of fact, I know Jimmy well enough to know that more than the $500 first money, more than the glory of winning, he treasured that walk across the green with Jones. He said so.
 In speech that somehow made you feel that another Jones was in the making, the smiling Texan said:
 T haven't prepared an acceptance speech. But I have talked to Bobby, and he has made so many, won so many championships, that I wish he would make mine. Winning the Masters was a great honor. Playing the Masters course was pleasure. But my greatest thrill was playing on practice round with the one and only Bobby Jones, my idol" Your idol, jimmy, and the idol of many another
