Title Defense

AAU Finals
AttractEih
BLOOMFIELD, N. J., June 25--
(J)-A half dozen or so of the na-
tion's greatest all-around athletes
emerged as top contenders for
three U. S. Olympic berths as 22
hopefuls gathered for the National
A.A..U. Decathlon championships
tomorrow and Sunday at Foley
Field.
The title games have been de-
elared the final Olympic tryouts
for the iron men.
One of the leading entries, Lloyd
Duff of Ohio State, last year's
runner up, was forced by injuries
to scratch at the last moment, Al
# Post, New Jersey A.A.U. president
and meet director, announced to-
day.
Bob Mathias of Tulare High
School, Calif., the 17-year-old fa-
vorite has the best previous score
of the entries. He rolled up 7,094
in a West Coast meet in which
6 Floyd Simmons, Ios Angeles A.C.,
scored 6,860.

Olympic Fund
200 Thousand
(Special to The Daily)
CHICAGO, Ill., June 25-.-With
the date for the embarkation of
the U. S. Olympic team less than
three weeks away the Olympic
fund lacks more than $200,000 of
the amount needed for the team's
expenses.
While several contributions are
anticipated within the next two
weeks, from official tryouts and
fund-raising campaigns current-
ly being staged in many cities,
there still is the possibility that
some squads may be curtailed for
lack of funds.
The U. S. Olympic committee
recently affirmed its policy to the
effect that only those teams for
which there are adequate funds in
the treasury will be sent to the
Olympic Games.
Order of Preference
In the event of incomplete fi-
ancing, the teams will be sent in
the following order :track and
field for men, swimming and div-
ing for men and women, boxing
basketball, wrestling, rowing,
equestrian, track and field for
women, gymnastics, fencing for
men and women, soccer, weight
lifting, rifle and pistol shootirig,
water polo, modern penthathlon,
cycling, yatching, canoeing and
field hockey.
The Olympic committee has es-
timated that it will cost more than
$500,000 to equip, transport, feed
and house the proposed team to
be sent to the London Games.

MICHIGAN
LAST TIMES TODAY

IN Tis CORNER - -
by JOE WALSH, Sports Editor
N THE ORDINARY run of things, the reading public doesn't en-
counter much crime news on the sport page. However, occasionally
some leading figure in the world of sport becomes involved with the
long arm-and as result a question arises.
The question is, "Does criminal liability necessarily involve
formal ostracizing from the professional sport world?"
It has been mulled over many times. Most notable instance was
the 1919 Black Sox scandal. At that time the major leagues hired a
federal judge from Illinois, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, to settle the
dispute.
More recently, the Rocky Graziano case was brought to pub-
lie attention. Now as it stands, The Rock is banned from display-
ing his talents in New York and cooperating states, and in states
adhering to rules of the NBA.
A grand-jury no-billed the case of the State vs. Graziano in the
alleged attempted bribe offer of a year and a half ago. Yet the New
York State Athletic Commission threw the book at Rocky. Later
when Graziano's dismissal (to say the least) Army record was brought
to night, the NBA saw fit to inflict further punishment and ruled the
New Yorker from appearing in states under their control.
The crux of the thing appears to be this. Once a man pays a pen-
alty for commission of deeds against society, is he given a clean bill
of health after that penalty is paid?
Society cleared Rocky. He paid his debt. Sure, he didn't go over-
seas and maybe pick up a few holes for his trouble. That's pretty se-
rious I guess, but is it any worse than the crime of murder? The way
the East Sider is being treated, one would certainly think his crime,
had been at least one of the heinous variety.
The whole shebang started when it was learned that Rocky had
been approached by some New York hood with an offer of $100,000 in
return for Rocky's taking a dive against one Reuben "Cowboy" Shank,
a so-so pug from Denver.
CONSIDER Rocky's plight. If he said yes, chances are word
would leak, as word usually dops, and he'd really be in the
soup. Or let's suppose, just for a change, that Grazianol has a
decent bone or two in his body, and he figured that going into
the tank wasn't the right thing to do. "
Now if he said no, he was still be exposed to a certain danger.
Gang reprisals are not uncommon in Big Town. And after all, to
Henry Ford II, a hundred grand is carfare, but to guys like Rocky
and you and me, "them ain't pennies." Let's suppose that "Golden
Boy" had turned in the punk, where would he have been? Could be
that he would be found in a concrete kimono in the East River some
bleak morning. Such things have been known to happen. Now the
East River isn't a bad river, but it can't look particularly attractive to
someone pulled from its depths with grappling hooks by the NYFD.
Now Eddie Eagen is the boxing commissioner of the Empire State
and he says that Rocky committed a monstrous wrong to society by
his failure to report the bribe. Eagen may be right-he's been right
before, but after all, what good would Rocky's informing do? Would
it stop cheap hoodlums from trying to turn a dishonest buck by get-
ting a fight fixed? Would it stop gambling on sporting events, Would
they erect a statue of Graziano on 8th Avenue? I doubt it. Yet
Rocky can no longer fight in his home town. Was he so crooked? Well
maybe some people think so, but this reporter for one still believes
that Rocky, certainly no angel, got the worst of a one-sided deal.
In the case of his DD from the Army, it is estimated that
16,000 men are walking the streets with yellow discharges in
their pockets. Not a nice thing, certainly. A terrible thing. But
does it give any group the right to take from a man his means of
livelihood? That's all Rocky knows--his hands.
Could be that yours truly is all wet. But in spite of the import of
a crime, whether committed by Bill Tilden or Dutch Schultz, if the in-
mate when released makes an attempt to earn an honest living, we
do not believe it is not the the right of the public or any sanctimonious
athletic commission, regardless of the reasons, to rob that individual
of his right to work.
But, as I said before, could be we're all wet.

and three-steppedu away from
the advancing champion.
Twice the referee warned the
boys to "get in there and fight."
One of the greatest champions
the ring had known, Louis was a
badly battered sight in the early
rounds with his left eye swollen
half shut frn Walcott's stabbing
left.
Twice he caught Walcott and
let him get away after refusing
to chase him in the first part of
thre scrap. In7 the early stages
Louis was concentrating on the
body, sticking left hands to the
stomach of Jersey Joe who has
known 34 lean and hungry years
as a run-of-the-mill battler.
Then he started to gu upstairs
with the left jab he has been
sharpening at Ponipton Lakes,
N.J. There was no question
about the power of those jabs
as compared to Walcott's flick-
ing slaps.
At the time of the knockout,
just as in the first Billy Conn fight,
Louis was trailing on the score
cards of two of the three officials.
Fullam had the champion out
front by a 5-2 margin with three
even. Judge Jack O'Sullivan had
Walcott ahead 5-4 with one even.
Judge Harold Barnes gave the
challenger a wide edge, 6-3, with
one even. The Associated Press
scoreboard had it all even, five
rounds for each.
But Louis wiped out any disad-
vantage he may have had on the
score sheets with the fury of that
right handed assault.
After pinning Jersey Joe on
the ropes with a smashing right;
he jarred him from head to
heels with another right to the
head and then cut loose with all
the frenzy of a wounded jungle
beast closing in for the kill.
Once Walcott sagged and start-
ed to go, Louis hammered him to
the floor with an attack that he
hasn't shown since pre-war days.
Walcott tumbled down and
turned on his back. At the count
of seven he started to come
