.SoddIer to Watch Two Rivals
For Title Clash Here June 80

Sandy Saddler, world feather
weight champion, will take look
Iat two of his close pursuers-
WaShington's Gene Smith and
Glen Flanagan of st. Paul, Mimi,
the night of June 80 at Griffith
Stadium.
Saddler is a private in the
Army stationed at Fort Eustis,
Va, and, while his title is in cold
storage. the National Boxing As
sociation will crown an interim
champion. The Smith Flanagan
bout is one of a series to decide
the interim champ who will have
the right to meet Saddler for
the real title after the champions S
discharge.
Promoter Goldie Ahearn has

guests for the bout, a return
match. Smith, unbeaten in 81
professional bouts, and Flanagan
put on quite a scrap April at
Uline Arena. Smith won a split
decision, but it wasn't a popular
one, even with the home town
fans.
Smith found Flanagan's stiff
left jabs annoying and is trying
to master them by working out
with Welterweight Billy Graham
at Madame Bey's training camp
in Summit. N. j. Graham's style
resembles Flanagan'S.
Flanagan is working out in
Philadelphia where he can get
better sparring partners than at
his home grounds in the Midwest.

BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, June 19.-The
64th annual National AAU track
and field championships get un-
der way tomorrow night with a
full slate of champions on deck
to defend their titles in this
Olympic year.
For most of the field the AAU
offers chance to qualify for the
final Olympic trials in Los An
geles, June 27-28.
Foreign entrants here do not
figure in the final trials, and those
athletes who placed sixth or bet
ter in the NCAA meet at Berke-
ley last week are already assured
of place in the trials next week
Excitement Assured.
Track experts figure that at
least nine crowns are in danger
here, insuring a two-day meet
crammed with excitement.
The threatened titles include
those owned by Len Truck of
Ohio State in the 1,500-meter
run. Parry O'Brian, the NCAA
shotput champion: Dick Attlesey,
high hurdler of the Los Angeles
Athletic Club; steeplechaser Hor-
ace Ashenfelter of the Penn AC:
Dick Doyle, discus. Montana AC::
Gay Bryan, hop-Step-jumper,
Olympic Club of San Francisco,
and his teammate. Bud Held, in
the javelin: Jim Ford of Drake
in the 200 meters and Curtis
Stone. 10000 meters, New York
AC.
Nebraska VauIter Hurt.
Don Cooper. NebraSka's hope to
make the Olympic team in the
pole vault, will compete with a |
sore foot-if he competes at all
in the AAU.
Cooper sprained a muscle in his
foot in practice yesterday when
he fell to the saWdust pit from a
height of over 13 feet.
The ex-University of Nebraska
athlete, one of four men in the
world to clear Is feet. was helped
off the field at Southern Cali
fornia.
Examination showed no broken
bones and Cooper, who was sent
here to the AAU and the final
Olympic trials on money raised by
Lincoln (Neb.) friends, vowed he'd

incidentally, while there they
learned that / was going to stop
at Colorado Springs, visit Mani
ton and see pixies peak and walk
to the top of it. While | was a
different man from what they
had pictured in their minds,
when l told them this, they LOOK
ed at me in grave astonish-
ment. mo, you'll not do that, but
we are in position to be of
much help to YOU" | learned that
they owned several cottages at
Cascade, one of the resorts at the
base of Pixies Peak. They en-
ployed a man, a Swede, to take
care of these cottages during the
tourists season. 1t was arranged
that | go to Cascade and lodge
with this caretaker, whom, for
convenience, l will call, Mr..
Swede. But, as for walking up
Pixies Peak, that would be out
of the question for man of my
age and build. But secretly l felt
sure that I could. At least was
not going to be dissuated from
trying it.
They gave me a letter to give
to Mr.. Swede. Evidently they
must have telephoned this care
taker as he was at the R.R. sta
ton to meet me. This was on
Wednesday, I had it in mind to
make the ascent the next day.
Mr.. Swede advised that l take
the Cog Road, else ride a burro.
incidentally, l had been told that
the strength that you would
exert with your legs urging the
lazy brute along would take you
a long way toward the summit.
No, I was going to attempt the
climb with my pedal extremities.
1t was then that Mr.. Swede,
he having been a regular guide,
made some valuable suggestions.
Perhaps the contents of the letter
l had given him from Briggers.
I was to defer the trip until
Saturday and he would go with
me. That sounded good. He ex-
planned that in making too hasty
an attempt, there was serious
danger of hemorrahage blood
bursting out at the nose and ears,
as the altitude, even then was
having a little effect on me.
Furthermore, at his suggestion,
during the two intervening days,
| was to practice mountain climb
ing. This did.
On Friday, after l had been
absent for several hours and re-
turned to the Swede cottage, I
called him and his wife out and
l pointed to a tree far up the
gulch that hung far out over the
edge of a cliff. I told them that
two hours earlier l had stood by
that tree, hoping that in some
way | could attract their atten-
ton. They looked at me in
amazement. But that, they said,
was a long way from the top: l
was not even to the end of the
timber-line. That evening found
us busy making preparation for
an early start the next morning.
Most important, according to the
Swede, was a plentiful supply of
God for our MONDAY lunch.

A few years later, in 1915, I

stop-over privileges. While in
Kansas City, l phoned to these
people at HutchiSon, whom |

overdose of quinine. The Cog
railway station, weather signal
and hotel all appeared to be in
a long low stone building under
the same roof much resembling
a fort. Looking around the small
area up there, we came onto a
bronze plaque out on an over
lutting rock. The guide said it
was a receptacle containing
documents placed there by the
Masonic Order. .r
Then we came upon a wooden
grave-marker and according to
the inscription, a young lady
had lost her life. Having been
attacked and eaten by mountain
rats" | got sight of one of those
rodents. AS large as they are,
enough of them could soon make

AS the sun was fastening
Pacificward, we took our de-
parture. The guide said we'd take
the short cut back-follow the
track of the Cog Railway. Some
youngbloods had way of coast
ing where the track was steepest.
They would place a flat stone
on one of the outer rails and
balance themselves away they
would go. However the company
forbid it. Somewhere down the
route we came to a little flat.
Here, says the guide, on this
spot a man and woman from
your state (Ohio) lost their lives.
They were making the ascent in
the evening, intending to re-
main over night on the Summit.
When they were caught in a
severe snow storm. They became
bewildered and perished and
their bodies were found on this
spot. While we were standing,

man, came up putting and blow

This man who said his first milk
bottle was back in Sweden,
believed in eating. Camera and
fieldglass was laid aside for can
ned-salmon, pork and beans, etc.
But the Swede knew, or thought
he did. 1t was left to him to
decide the route. At this time
a new road, an automobile high
way was being built by Mexican
labor, and it was nearly COM
pleted to the top. That was to be
the route, so said my guide.
The next morning we started.
Our packs reduced to a mini
mum, all except the supply of
eats as I thought. The Swede's
broken English was somewhat
difficult for me but / got much
of his meaning. About the first
thing that attracted his attention
on the road were tracks. He was
excited. A herd of deer had
crossed the road. !
We trudged along side by side
and along about the middle of
the forenoon this man would
suddenly step in front and look
me squarely in the face at the
same time and ask, How yau
stand?" This would be repeated
at frequent intervals. I didn't
know what it meant. At length
we reached the noted, Half way
House." He thought it, time for
lunch. l told him l didn't feel
hungry could still go farther.
He looked at me quizically. Fin
ally he called halt. 1--WE eat" he
said. "Oh l said I could still go
farther" He told me we were at
the timberline; to go farther we
would have no wood to build a

ate to a satiety-at least the Swede
did, and it was surprising how
much we had left over for our
supper.
We resumed our journey up
ward. Nothing now but rock and
barrenneSs. And now as before,
my guide would step in front
of me with that same interroga-
ton: How you Stand?"e.
At length we found ourselves
in the midst of the gang of
Mexican road workers in a snow
and ice bank, three feet deep,
and in plain view of the sum-
nit only about a quarter of a
mile up.
Soon we were at the end of our
long climb and gazed in wonder
and sat down to rest. And then
Mr.. Swede unfolded his story
and l understood. He said he had
no idea of us reaching the tops.
That when lunch hour came /
would be ready to turn back.

was to see that the corpse was
