ATHLETIC TRIALS

ONLY ONE IN 12 FAILED

(By George M. R. Holmes)

New York, April 17. SOME days ago William J. Bingham, manager of the United States Olympic track and field team which will compete in the games at Berlin next August, gave out a list of times, heights and distances which should be taken as standards for those candidates who are to compete in the semi- final trials.

“UNKNOWN" BECOMES WORLD TITLE CONTENDER"

Mike Belloise As Challenger For Featherweight Title

Chicago, April 17. Mike Bel- loise,

The world champion accordingTM to the National Boxing Associa tion is Freddie Miller. Belloise impressed the officials by his knockout victory over Everett Rightmire, of Sioux City, Iowa, in 14 rounds here recently.

will have to be very good and the ultimate winners come pretty close to the present Olympic records for the various events.

Seventeen Olympic events were given in the list issued by Bingham. The runs were given in metres and the field events in feet and inches. The corresponding distances for the runs were also given in yards, with standard times for each, and, as it is with this system of measurement we have to deal here, it

is those standards which will be considered at this time.
