Olympic Gym Chatter
When the country's top-notch gymnasts converge on State Col
lege May 1, there'll be more national champions around than you
can shake an Indian club at.
Two of the cream of American gymnasts, who are to their sport
what Joe Louis is to boxing and Ben Hogan is to golf, are Edward
Hennig and Frank Cumiskey.
Hennig is a 1904 Olympic Games champion who now-44 years
later and at the age of 68—is seeking another Olympic championship.
In the 1904 games, he won the Indian clubs and horizontal bar
titles in the international competition held that year in St. Louis.
May 1 he'll compete in the clubs event of the
American Amateur Athletic Union meet in Rec
Hall A victory here will place him on the United
States 1948 Olympic team.
In his gymnastic career, the phenomenal Hen
nig has captured 14 AAU championships. Specta
tors at the May 1 meet will marvel at the Indian
club routine which won him titles in 1904, 1911,
1933, 1936, 1937, 1939, 1940, 1942, 1945, 1946 and
1947.
In 1942 ? at 63, he was third in the balloting
for the Sullivan trophy given annually to the out
standing American athlete. He followed pole
vaulter Cornelius Warmerdam and swimmer Bill
Smith.
A rabid hockey fan who never misses a home
game in Cleveland, Hennig plays handball and
works out regularly at a YMCA. He bowls weekly.
For 40 years he has been with the Kaltenbach Corporation in Cleve
land and today is its chief engineer and designer of drydock cranes.
Hennig
A pole vaulter-turned-gymnast is Frank Cumiskey, 36-year-old
star who will also appear in Rec Hall May 1. While a student at
Union Hill high school in New Jersey, he competed successfully in
the pole vault, but after graduation joined a Swiss gym society and
began a remarkable career as a gymnast.
While many of his contemporary gymnasts were small and com
pactly built, Cumiskey is six feet tall and weighs 180 pounds. He has
been on two Olympic teams, won the American
all-around championship five times, and copped
18 other national firsts and many senior district
titles. Cumiskey won his place on the 1932 Olym
pic team when nineteen
That he accomplished so much despite a seem
ing handicap was mainly due to "a desire to excel,
an ability to think fast and act faster on apparatus
and a tremendous driving swing," according to
gym experts. He was the innovator of several new
tricks on two apparatuses—the side horse and
horizontal bar.
For the last three years Cumiskey has been
national all-around title-holder and side horse
champion. Over a span of 16 years he has seven
national crowns on the side horse, one on the long
horse, one on the flying rings, two on the parallel
bars, one in free calisthenics and six on the hori
zontal bar.
After marrying, in 1937, a star performer of
the 1936 Olympic Women's Gymnastic team, he
settled down to raising a family (twin girls and
a boy), and a traveling job with a railway. This
eliminated regular gym work-outs and made com
petition impossible.
Returning in 1941 to work regularly in New
York after a four-year layoff, he showed his met
tle by placing second in the national all-around meet in 1942 and
1944, then swept the championship in 1945, 1946 and 1947.
He is now volunteer coach of the Swiss Gymnastic Society,

Back in 1890 Hennig attended a gym per
formance at which he watched a New York gym
nast swing the Indian clubs. That furnished the
impetus for his title march; five years later he
was practicing seriously. He developed his own
routines and today can swing the clubs in a five
minute demonstration without repeating any ma
neuver.
