America Holds Olympic High Hurdies Supremacy In Past Eight Olympiads Only Once Has Victory Passed to Foreign Country —Earl Thompson, American Coach- ed Canadian, Triumphed in 1920 NOTE—This is the eighth in | the series of inside stories on | the Olympics. By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) New York, May 15.—@)—Olym- | pic high hurdling supremacy has’ passed from American hands only once in eight of the big international meets. That exception did not carry much sting for Earl Thomson's tri- umph in Canada’s colors in 1920 was sito a victory for American coach- ra Thomson, perhaps the greatest high hurdler ever developed, was a product of the tutelage of Harry L. Hillman, Dartmouth’s famous coach and himself a former Olym- pic champion. The rangy Canadian was developed at Hanover and turned in his greatest performances on American tracks. He is now coaching at the United States Naval academy after serving some time at Yale. “Everything broke right for me that day,” Thomson told this writer in recalling his Olympic victory eight years ago, at Antwerp. “The weather and track were good, I felt just right and I was pushed all the way by Harold Barron, the Penn State star, and Fred Murray of Stanford.” , Thomson set the Olympic record in that race, 14 4-5 seconds, but his greatest performance was turned in that same year, a few months before H the Olympics, at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. The Canadian ace won the intercollegiate champion- ship there and set the world’s rec- ord of 14 2-5 seconds. “I felt right and figured I had a; good chance to break the old record of 15 seconds, held by Forrest Smithson,” he recalls. “The best I had hoped for, however, was 14 4-5. When I came running back, after breaking the tape, one of the timers showed me his watch, stopped at 14 2-5, and the amazement on his/ face was as great as mine.” Smithson, the old Pacific Coast star, set the world’s record of 15) HIGH HURDLE CHAMPIONS Olympic hizh hurdling cham- pions, over the 110-meter route, and their times: Year 1896 Curtis, Time 317 3-5 1909 Kraenzleii S. 2-5 1904 Schule, U.

He did it on grass and over hurdles that were made of iron, except for the top bar of wood. “Smithson was a wonder, as good as any of our present day hurdlers,” Lawson Robertson, Olympic head coach, asserts. The peak of America’s Olympic monopoly was reached in the 1912 games when nine Yankees entered the 110-meter high hurdles. They won seven of the eleven preliminary heats, all of the semi-finals and finished 1-2-3-4-6 in the final heat, with Fred Kelly leading Jim Wen- dell by a thin margin. Powell, the Englishman, was the only foreign contender, Three of the six finalists were American: in both 1920 and 1924. Four years ago, however, Dan Kin- sey, University of Illinois star, was chased to the tape by two Swedes and a South African, Atkinson, in the finals. It was a close call at Paris, and it may be closer this summer ct Amsterdam. Germany, Sweden, England and South Africa all have developed ca- pable hurdlers. Lord Burghley, the titled British star, has shown Ameri- cans how well he can perform, but “Davy” is better over the low sticks than the high ones. Atkinson will be a threat once more. 4 American hopes probably will be pinned chiefly on such stars as Weems Baskin, the Alabama ace; Monty Wells of Dartmouth, Chick Kerner of the Illinois A. C. and Leistner of the Olympic club, San Francisco. These four, represent- ing the south, east, mid west and far west, have been consistently good. There are others, however, to be reckoned with, such as Col- lier of Brown, Nichols of Stanford and Guthrie of the Illinois A. C. Kinsey, the 1924 champion, will not defend his title. He has taken up seconds flat when he won the Olym-| the decathlon.

Coburn | CHICAGO CUBS ARE LATEST SENSATION OF NATIONAL RACE In Second Division Two Weeks Ago, Nine Straight Wins Bring Them Up (By the Associated Press) Joe McCarthy’s Cubs, unwontedly docile for the first month of the Na- tional League season, must have gotten hold of some raw meat some- where. _Down in the depths of the second division two weeks ago, the cubs suddenly came to life and today were resting in second place, only @ game back of the league-leading Cincinnati Reds. An 8 to 2 victory over the Giants at Chicago yesterday stretched the Cubs’ string of victories to nine} straight, the last three over New York which went west leading the pack and now is in fourth place.| While the Cubs were pounding Fitz- simmons and Walker for ten timely blows, Charlie Root, ace of the Cub staff, was setting the Giants down with six hits. Root, who started the season in bad form, now has won his last three games. After seeing his club lose, John McGraw suffered slight injuries of the leg when he was struck by an automobile. The Reds maintained their hold on the lead by downing the Phillies at Cincinnati, 8 to 4. The game marking the Quakers’ tenth straight defeat. Luque was four runs in the first inning but was invincible thereafter. Timely hitting in thre. innings enabled the Reds to pile up their winning mar- gin. Three Homers Made Rallies in the last three innings gave the cardinals a 4 to 3 verdict over Boston at St. Louis. Hafey’s fourth hit of the game scored the winning run in the ninth after the tieing run had been sent over a moment earlier. Douthit and Moore hit_ homers, Thirty-five players struggled through two and a half hours of weird baseball at Forbes Field be- fore Brooklyn eked out a 7 to 6 vic- tory over the Pittsburgh Pirat With Vance pitching and the tieing and winning runs cn the runways in the ninth, Glenn Wright and George Granthan each watched while the “Dazzler” sped the third strike across the plate. Statz’ field- ing was the sensation of the game, which saw the pirates use five pitch- ers and three catchers. Wilbert Robinson contented himself with using three of his hurlers and two receivers. Their third victory in a row over the Detroit Tigers 7 to 5, sent the New York Yankees’ American League average up to the .800 mark, figured on the basis of twenty vic- tories and only five defeats. Babe Ruth hit his ninth homer of the year in the seventh inning and now is four games ahead of his record- breaking pace of last year. Ruth hit his ninth homer last season in his 29th game on May 17. His ninth in 1928 came in his 25th game. George Pipgras was wild and hit hard but sensational fielding by the champions pulled him through to his sixth straight triumph. Grove Lets Down 11 Lefty Grove, crack southpaw of the Philadelphia Athletics, struck out eleven men as the A’s beat Cleveland, 6 to 3, in 10 innings. The winning margin was provided by Jimmy Foxx’s pinch home run with two on base. Grove held the Indians to three singles up to the eighth but was nailed for five hits and the three tieing runs in that frame. Ed Morris, big right hander from Mobile, registered his third win in a row as the Boston Redsox nosed out the St. Louis Browns, 3 to 2. Mor- ris allowed only five hits, one less than the Redsox got off Sammy Gray. ii Milt Gaston pitched the Washing- ton Senators to victory, 4 to 2, over the Chicago Whitesox. Tate drove in two runs and forced another over when he was walked with the bases loaded. Ruth Now Is 4.Games Ahead of 1927 Mark New York, May 15.—(#)—Babe Ruth hit his 9th home run of the season in the seventh inning of the New York-Detroit game ‘Monday. Elam Van Gilder was pitching and the bases were empty. His drive made the score 7 to 4 in favor of the Yankees. Ruth’s drive put him four games ahead of his 1927 record season when he hit a total of six. Mon- day’s game was his twenty-fifth. On May 14 last year the Babe had only eight homers, .in twenty games played. (By the Associated Press) Cleveland—Tommy Jones, At- lanta, defeated Billy Wallace, Cleveland (12).

Few changes will be mace in the composition of the squad that iar ed in second place ai the May Festi- val meet in Fargo last v-eek-end, Coach Roy D. McLeod said today. The Demon mentor expresses neith- er optimism or pessimism over his crew but is content witn the ‘way that the individual members are working. If there are any additions to the squad, Jimmy Slattery, miler, and Vard, hurdler, will probabiy be se- lected. Slattery’s condition is none to good and if he fails to impress in the final workout on the TTeghes Field oval Wednesday, he will be left behind. Ward has been steadily forging to the front and may sur- prise if he gets the call. Hank Brown is being counted up- on to take a few more noints than he did at Farg.. The sorrel-top had difficulty with the proper step-tim- ing between the high hurdles at Fargo and has been busily remedy- ing this. He has changed from the five-step to the orthdox three-step style with better results. Count On Spriggs TONY CANZONERI GOES BACK TO NEW ORLEANS, FOR FIRST HOME TOWN BOUT SINCE HE WON FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE Protege of Octavius Roy Cohen, Noted Author, Will Meet the Dixie Italian— Feather King Started As Amateur in Mardi Gras City But Has Never Fought There Professionally New Orleans, May 15.—(?)—Ton: Canzoneri, world’s weatherweigh! champion, and former grocer boy here, is returning to New Orleans May 16 for his first professional bout in the town where he got his start. His opponent will be Claudie Wil- son, pride of Birmingham, Ala., and protege of Octavus Roy Cohen, Ala- bama author. To Wilson the fight is a chance to hit the high road to pugilistic fame after cight years of give-and-take slugging. Both fighters must make the featherweight limit of 126 pounds ang while the bout will be a no- decision one, Wilson would gain the crown should he knock out his op- ponent, while an adverse newspaper verdict against Canzoneri would give the Birmingham boy ample claim for a chance at the title in a return decision affair. Canzoneri and Wilson both are Dixie fighters.

About that time the Canzoneri Claudie Wilson (above) and Tony Canzoneri. professional field was Frankie Ed Sprivgs who surprised by tak- n c igh jump at Fargo but failed equally surprising- ly in the broad jump is expected to place in the aerial event at the Forks. Spriggs is capable of jump- ing into the point-winning class. Upon Ted Mienhover will rest the burden of copping a tittle for Bis- marck. This big sophomore has shown more real promise of being a star in the discus and shot put than any other athlete who has per- formed in No.th Dakota in years. His huge bulk and strength if used to be best advantage will make him an_ outstanding field ace. Youth counted against Mein- hover at Fargo. The big fellow suffered from buck fever. With a big meet behind him, he should have the confidence necessary to step up among the leaders, If the Capital City meet, Mein- hover threw the discus 115 feet for a new record. It was a toss that beat Martin Ender's winning effort at Fargo Saturday by two feet. Meinhover has thrown it 119 feet. A repetition of either of these two tosses will bring Bismarck five Points. Green and Davis, crack quarter milers, Benser and York, half-mil- ers, Roberts and York, milers, will be sure point winners. Captain Ben Jacobson is good for points in the pole vault. , Fargo will not have the. compara- tively easy time at Grand Forks that it did at Fargo. Performers from other cities that were not en- tered in the A.C. meet are sure to cut in on the Midgets’ points. Jt is this uncertainty that will give Bismarck a title. Bismarck’s team will leave here Toureiey noon by car for Grand orks, FLEMING LURED BACK T0 ARENA Man Who Knocked Out Benny Leonard Back in Glove Sport As Manager Chicago, May 15.——The lure of the ring is a hard thing for the old timers to shake off. Frankie Fleming, the Montreal feather- weight who achieved fame by knock- ing out Benny Leonard back in 1913, before Leonard became lightweight champion, is back in the glove sport, this time as a manager. s Fleming is piloting George Sid- ders, a 20-year-old Montreal youth, who recently graduated from the amateur ranks. Sidders is a junior welterweight, a terrific puneher and is growing so rapidly that he, prob- ably will be a middleweight within a@ year. Fleming will talk for an hour any time about the boxer he has under his wing, and takes more punishment than Sidders does when his boy is in the ring. It is more like a father and son combination, rathergthan the boxer and manager. Fleming, who was one of the finest characters in the ring, has taken a kindly interest in Sidders, who before he turned pro- fessional held the amateur light- weight and later the welterweight championships of Canada. Thinks McLarnin Will Win Jess McMahon, matchmaker for Mason, who had just lost his world’s flyweight title. The match staged at Birmingham, gave Wilson an easy victory. Wilson invaded the east where he beat a number of “good boys.” An automobile accident in which the young fighter was injured set him family moved to Brooklyn and Tony kept up the “fight racket.” He con- tinued to bowl over opponents and shortly afterward turned profession- ! al. Last February, his big chance came when he was matched against Benny Bass, who held the feather- weight title. The match was at COLLETT AND COMPATRIOTS _ WIN THROUGH American Women Golfers Ad> vance to Fourth Round in British Links Meet Hunstanton, Eng., May 15.—(AP) —tLed by Miss Glenna Colle:t, who won her third victory of the British ‘women’s golf championship, all the Americans in the title event today stroked their way into the fourth round, which will be played tomor- row. Miss Collett won her third match while her three compatriots had to play only two to enter the fourth round. Miss Collett. continued to kill off champions and former champions by defeating Mrs. Temple Dobell, 4 up and 2 to play. Mrs. Dobell ,the for- mer Gladys Ravenscroft, has won both the British and American titles. Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, for- mer British and American champion, won from Miss Dianna Esmond, a French girl, 6 anl 5. Miss Elizabeth Curtis, Clinton, Towa, had the hardest fight of the American quartet, disposing of Miss Couper, a Scotch player, one up. Mrs. Stewart Hanley, Detroit, de- feated Miss Alice Firebrace, of England, 2 and 1. Miss ‘Collett’s opponent in the fourth round tomorrow will be Miss Mabel Wragg, Yorkshire champion. Three British favorites, Enid Wil- son, Doris Fowler and Molly Gour- lay, remain in the running but Misses Wilson and Fowler meet to- ; morrow.
