Soccer and Spectacle Games in which professionals take part must consider the public and safeguard the spectacular side. Association football drastically changed one of its most important laws-the off-side law-four years ago in order to provide more attrac- tive play. It was preceded by a Press campaign, because the columns of the newspapers voice the opinion of the public and the game as a whole.

A well-known Australian book- maker on board the "Empress of Asia" has offered to wager $200 at even money, that Olsen and Maiullari will not be more than 12 hours apart, in elapsed time at the finish.

Every indication points to the fact that Olsen will have to hustle in order to win the unique super- marathon which is causing tremen- dous discussion and bitter rivalry between the Italian and Scandina- vian residents of the Bronx section of the city.

The commission add! that there are five-Gregorio, Brown, Archie Bell, Teddy Baldock, and the Italian, Bransonini-who must be considered as the outstand: ing contenders for the title.

Have They Forgotten? Apparently the commission have forgotten that Baldnek established his claim when he defeated Archie Bell so decisively twelve months ago, Bell xt that time being the acknowledged best bantam in the States. Brown and Gregorio are due to meet and the New York Commission are careful to em- phasise in their stateinent that Baldock will still have an equal op- portunity with Bell and Bransonini of meeting the winner..
