Aug. 10 (JP) Edward Johnson, 20-year-old United States Air Force private, won his second featherweight bout in the Olympic boxing tournament from B. Alves.

of Uruguay, today but the decision touched off a demonstration of disapproval that eared riot proportions. Announcement of the Kansas City Negro's victory set off a thunderous chorus of boos, which continued nearly 20 minutes. Fans Crowd Ring: Spectators threw their caps at the ring and a violent argument broke out between two officials on the judges stand. They were separated by two companions as spectators spilled over the balcony railings and gathered in angry, shouting groups near the ring. Supporters of Alves hoisted him to their shoulders and carried him to the judges' stand, where guards pushed them out while other fans continued their thunderous applause for the.

little Uruguayan. Alves clambered off their shoulders and ran completely around the arena, waving to the crowd. Spectators cheered wildly. Another fight in the ring was ignored as the fans United States team. Even before the boys departed promoters were hovering around, The youngster who has drawn the most attention is Jay Lambert, 22-year-old, 180-pound, 6-foot-l-inch Utah University student He's a heavyweight and, with the world seemingly devoid of top-notch fighters- in that division and Joe Louis planning, retirement, there's a fortune available to the fighter, manager and the promoter who can step above the Lambert is being hailed as I .1 if I he makes this week will be watched closely.

His first appearance in the Olympic Games came yesterday. It was satisfactory. He won an easy decision over Vincente Dos Santos, of Brazil, after flooring him three times in the first round. That's what the public likes in its champions ability to drop, opponents. Half a dozen other heavyweights block Lambert's path to the Olympic title, and then his professional debut.

Basketball Team Has Much Easier Task continued booing and An even more impressive opening for the United States boxing forces came from Kansas City's Negro featherweight, Edward Johnson. He staggered New Zealand's Bob Gosslin so badly and so often that the fight was stopped in the The featherweights always furnish one of the best-rounded divisions in the Olympic fights and South America generally holds the spotlight. Therefore, Johnson will have a difficult time the rest of the week.

Hambletonian May Suffer Fate Of Saratoga What Saratoga was once to thoroughbred racing, Goshen and the Hambletonian Stakes, to be run tomorrow in New York State, has been to the harness-racing world.

Now both seem to have outlived their places in racing, and it is only a question of time how long either can continue to draw the people and the horses. Saratoga already has lost the betting public, which makes present-day racing possible. The attendance and the betting there since the war have been on an average of what is now expected at the nation's half-mile tracks. That is around half a million dollars in betting, although yesterday's mutuel total reached $601,526. It has been able to continue by running two weeks of its meeting at Jamaica, where it collects the profits to make up the losses at Saratoga.

Gradually, however, the pressure is increasing to abandon Saratoga for continuous racing around New York city. Goshen still offers the leading 3-year-old stake of harness racing in the Hambletonian. It compares with the Preakness, the Belmont and the Derby in the thoroughbred field. It's $60,000 purse was once the outstanding offering of the season. No longer is that true.

Very few are concerned with thoughts of the future. One determined lad who falls I into the latter category is Robert Warren Trimble, 11-year-old youth who can be seen almost every day on the Forest Park golf course. Has Golf Instinct In his case, playing golf can be termed building for the future, be cause Bobby intends to make the links sport an integral factor in his life. Bobby's current ambition is to be a golf, professional "likeCMr. Flattery," Jimmy Flattery, Forest Park golf mentor And if the youngster continues to show the interest in the sport as he possesses.

Flattery thinks he would make an excellent salaried shotmaker. "He has golf instinct," said the genial Forest Park Instructor. "He loves to play and no matter what the situation, Bobby keeps his head and takes things in stride. His swing is basic, and he will improve as he gets bigger and stronger." 71-Pound Linksman This is high praise for an 11- year-old, but Bobby takes it lightly. He already is a veteran of tournament competition, having competed in the pro-junior affair at Green Spring Valley last month.

His next goal is the club junior tournament in the fall. Meanwhile he is playing at every opportunity. The tiny 71-pound shotmaker won the hearts of tne fieia at Green Spring. Admittedly nerv ous as he drove off the first tee in his initial tournament competi tion, Bobby amazed onlookers by carding a 4 on the hole, one over par. Short of the green on his drive, he pitched on and took two putts for a score as good as that turned in by some pros.

Dad Golfs, Too Because he was nervous and be cause it was the first time he had played on a course other than Forest Park, Bobby took 65 strokes on the front nine. However, he shaved seven shots off that score coming home to wind up with a 123. He was somewhat disappointed, for he had scored 106 at Forest Park. Bobby has been a links devotee since he was 8 years old. He used to go around with his father George Trimble, a first-flight golfer at the Hillsdale oourse and soon Flattery took him in hand.

showing him the proper grip and correct swing. i Six-Club Bag "The youngster carries six clubs' two woods, three irons and a putter. He favors his wooden clubs and putter, getting about 100 yards off the tee and enjoying a smooth putting stroke. He does not fret while lining up a putt. Of course, the brown-eyed, blondish youth has plenty of other diversion too.

"I like baseball and see about one movie a week," he says, "and get as much ice cream as possible." He also got a big thrill when he caddied for Charles Yearick in the Frank Fischer memorial tourna ment and saw his golfer returned victor in a playoff. Tabbed For Poly As for his choice of high school. Bobby wants to attend Poly after he is graduated from Arlington junior mgh because "I will learn something there." Bobby has a 4-year-old brother.

Adolph Rupp, assistant United States Olympic made careful notes on the Mexican game, although the Mexican stars were kept under wraps as much as possible. One of the Mexican coaches is Augustin Garcia Arreola, who was trained at the University of Kansas.

Two For The Book i London, Aug. 10 (IP) The International Amateur Athletic 'Federation took steps today to prevent female impersonators or hermaphrodites from competing in the Olympic women's track and field events. The Congress accepted a recommendation of its women's commission that a medical certificate as to sex accompany the entry of each athlete for both the Olympics and the European championships.

Requests to the to approve world track and field records also must be accompanied by a medical certificate of sex. No question has been raised in the present Olympics as to the sex of women competitors. In some track meets in the past, however, officials have privately questioned whether women competitors actually were women. London. Aug.

10 (IP) When Argentine Flyweight Pascual Perez couldn't make the 112-pound weight in the Olympics today they cut his hair on the scales. He still couldn't make it. So they washed all the dirt off the bottom of his bare feet. Still he was a fraction over. In desperation, Argentine trainers gave him a rubdown and scraped dirt off the scales with a big paint brush.

No soap. Pascual was still over the weight and was led tearfully away. But there was a happy ending. Hours later officials called Pascual in. The scales were off.

He could fight. He won his bout, too. By Walter Rochester. Aug. 10 In spite ofi the poor season each is having, Bobby Wilson and Beto Avila loom the only likely choices for selection from the Orioles by Cleveland in the working agreement between) the clubs.

Such an agreement stipulates the Indians, in return for player help sent during the season, have the right to purchase from the Flock each year two players for the sum of $2,500 above the waiver price. September 1 Deadline The waiver price is $10,000, so the sale 6f two men to the Tribe would net the Birds $25,000 in cash. With the International League season having less than five weeks to run and the Orioles now almost a dead certainty to finish last, Cleveland is bound to exercise its prerogative shortly. The American League leaders are supposed to advise Manager Tommy Thomas whom they will take by September 1. Both Are 22 Avila is a logical choice because he is a bonus player and therefore subject to the draft.

Wilson has been in baseball four years and in Class AAA two seasons. Thus, he, too. is draftaole. Both lads are 22, fast, hustling and aggressive. At the moment each is hitting a weak .229, but this is the first poor season for Wilson, and Avila has been hampered by a hernia which required surgery and cost him two months of the cam paign.

Six Claimed Wilson That each would be a likely draft pium is probable, although only one coma oe taken, six clubs put in a claim for Wilson last year under the mistaken impression the lad was draft bait then. Last spring Brook lyn was very much interested In Avila and presumably still is. Thomas Stands Pat As for the Flock, on Sunday the limits on the number of players ho may be used are raised, and clubs may import talent from lower leagues to augment the 21 men who have comprised the roster thus far. Yet Thomas does not expect to recall any Bird optionees. "I wouldn't bring up anyone un our on 01 Taylor less his club's season was over," he said, "and seasons in lower leagues run as long as ours.

I London, Aug: 10 (JP) A band of hard-riding American bicyclists is serving notice in the Olympic Games that the European monopoly on cycling champions may soon be broken. The team from the United States where cycle racing is strictly a minor sport is not expected to win the Olympics this year, but so-far they look stronger than any team America ever sent to an Olympiad.
