The story of the US Fencing Hall of Fame began when the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games Committee decided to build the first Olympic Village in Olympic history. The city held a contest to see which bakery could bake breads in every country's national style. The Helms Bakery, owned by Paul Hoy Helms, was the winner. Helms, the adopted son of a celebrated deaf-mute baseball player from the 1890s, was so moved by his involvement with the Olympics that he renamed his bakery Helms Olympic Bakery and in 1936 inaugurated the Helms Sports Hall of Fame.

Died. Paul Hoy Helms, 67, millionaire Los Angeles baker, would-be athlete (he tried out for all the varsity teams at Syracuse University, finally made the crew as substitute coxswain) and impassioned sports buff, who founded the Helms Athletic Foundation in 1936, built a $350,000 museum in 1948 to enshrine relics of sports heroes (e.g., the shoes worn by Dakota Wesleyan's, Mark Payne in 1915 when he booted his record 63-yd. dropkick); of cancer; in Palm Springs, Calif. Sports Fan Helms acquired his awe of athletes watching his uncle, old-time major-league Outfielder William E. ("Dummy'') Hoy, make circus catches, spent much of his time handing out medals to successful musclemen, encouragement to unknowns (the young Baseballer's Jackie Robinson and Ralph Kiner, Trackman Mel Patton), helped oversubscribe Southern California's Olympic contributions in 1952 and 1956.
