...General Manager P. Joseph Cronin of the Red-Eds quipped as he returned from the police station last night. "In this 96th annual clash, I predict Crime will win, 23 to 2. And at 3:30 p.m. the Charles will churn to Crime's 23 strokes per minute as its eight opens its season with its 2-length victory over the Clowns in its final rate...

Even that victory at the world's fair in St. Louis in 1904 may have been hollow: some experts still say that the Americans won because there was no real European competition, and furthermore predict that the U.S. will never turn out a topflight team. Why can't the U.S. produce champion gymnasts? One man who thinks he knows is German-born Coach Bernard Unser of the famed Bronx branch of the American Turners (until 1948, the Turnverein'). Says Unser: "In this country gymnastics is not considered...
