Eastern Track Stars Will Try to Thwart California Invasion Cambridge, Mass.. May 25.—(P)— Eastern college track athletes to- day had the almost impossible task at the Harvard sta-lium of prevent- ing a small band of Californians from romping awev with most of the honors in the 52nd annual cl | ip meet of th. Intercollegiate tion of Amateur Athletes of America. Though the cream of 32. college track teams was entered, indications were that the wonderfully well- balanced squads from Stanford and Southern California would dominate the meet during tha trials this aft- ernoon and the finals tomorrow. The experts conceded Stanford its second consecutive championship most of them agreed that Dean well’s Southern California jided by Charley Borah, in- ygiate sprint champion, and pule-vaulter extraor- ary, would have little difficulty ishing in second place.

Roy J. McLeod, former James- town college ace, will receive his Capital City baptiem Sunday. Earl- ier in the week, McLeod was doped to occupy the backstop’s box. Today Churchill believes that he will start the silent Scot in the outfield. As has been the case all season, the outfield is causing the manage- ment some worry. The proper fielding, hitting and cooperating trio has not been discovered. Walt “Babe” Mohn will probably be shifted from center field to the left hand territory. Louie Lena- burg, Eberline, Carl Martin, Art Sailer and Karl Thornberg will then have to fight it out for the right field sector. Lenaburg’s excellent stick work and his errorless performance in the left field gardens in the first two games gives him an edge over the other aspirants. While Churchill is worrying over his lineup, Bill Kentos and John Larson are improving the park grounds. The fans will ,-cct the news that a scoreboard is to be built with pleasure. In view of every seat, a new 26 by 16 foot scoreboard is under construction in centerfield. It will have letters 24 by 18 inches, as- suring every weak-sighted fan of being able to discern the tally at all times. The grandstand has been repaired the past week. Loose boards have been nailed down, missing timbers replaced and a new oof laid. Other improvements will be the construc- tion of a pressbox and the laying of water pipes so that the outfield turf isher and winner of the $25,000 first prize money.

Riding on a crest of 12 straight victories, Toledo has arisen from the cellar to a tie for fourth place with Minneapolis today. The Hens are only two and a half games away from first place.

Before 41,000 cash customers and thousands of others who occupied points of vantage outside Shibe park, the two leaders yesterday split even in the first two games of a six-game series. The attendance set a new record for Philadelphia. Ten thousand wild-eyed fans vainly sought to push their way into the park which al- ready was filled to capacity. Riot calls brought additional police to ved scene in an effort to restore or- ler. The champions pounded Robert Moses Grove, Convie Mack's star southpaw, hard and often to take the opener, 9 to 7. but Ossie Orwoll held the Yankees to six hits in the nightcap and the Athletics raced in to a 5 to 2 victory. Babe Ruth’s fourteenth homer of the season and Tony Lazzeri’s first represented the sum total of the Yankees’ scoring. Ossie Wins Lazzeri pounded ix six runs in the first game. Despite the fact that Grove had an off-day the southpaw was permitted to remain in the game until the cighth inning, Pow- ers and Ehmke finishing. George Pipgras lost his first game of the det in the nightcap, the Athletics unching hits off him in the sixth and seventh to score all their runs. Speaker drove in three of them with a double and a single. Bob Fothergill’s double with two men on base in the twelfth enabled the Detroit Tigers to score a 6 to 4 win over the White Sox at Chicago. Johnny Mostil, great Sox fly-chaser, was knocked uncovscious when a thrown ball struck him between the eyes. He expects to return to the lineup tomorrow, Blue Gets 4 Hits The St. Louis Browns took a sloppy game “rom the Indians at Cleveland, 12 to 9. Sam Gray went the route for the Browns despite the fact that he allowed 18 hits. Twelve hits were turned into as many runs by the Browns. Lou Blue got four or them. The St. Louis Cardinals pushed their way to within half a game of the National League lead by beat- ing the Cincinn: Feds, 7 to 1, for their fourth straight victory. Holm and Bottomley hit home runs while Douthit contended himself with a single, double and triple. Flint Rhem pitched a strong game for the winners, Jess Petty recently suspen.ed for treaking training rules, returned to the Brooklyn mound and shut out the New York Giants with three hits, 3 to 0. Leslie Mann, who dotes on ecuthnaes: got two of the three safeties Petty granted. Fitz- simmons gave the Robins only six safeties but poor support sent the Giants down to defeat. The Pirates gave the Chicago Cubs their fourth straight set-back at Pittsburgh, 6 to 2. Artie Nehf lasted until the fifth despit. a four run rally by the Corsairs in the fourth. Despite a patched up _in- field, the Pirates played g ball behind Grimes. Eddie Mulligan shifted from second to third base when Pie Traynor, was forced out by an attack of influenza. Dick Bartell, a youngster, went to the keystone sack and handled nine| chances without an error.

George Pipgras TOD MORGAN HAS HARD TIME WITH EX-BANTAM KING Doggedly Fights Junior Lightweight Champ New York, May 25.—()—Tod Morgan, Seattle battler, mused to- day how narrowly he escaped join- ing the company ~f former junior lightweignt cnampions. While 6,000 fans looked on apath- etically, Morgan successfully de- fended his 130 pound crown against the dogged, bull-like rushes of Ed- die (Cannonball) Martin, one time king of the bantamweights, in a 15| | round bout at Madison Square Gar- den last night. Tod’s margin of victory, however, was the closest. The Associated Press score card gave Morgan sev- en, rounds, Martin six with two even, Slow afoot and short of arm, Mar- tin staked his whole battle for the title on a body attack, in he rushed, taking the champion’s short jabs in order to get a chance to pound away at Morgan’s body. Keep Plugging Away For the first few rounds the sharp-shooting Pacific coast star’ had all the better of the _ milling, catching the challenger coming in, with sharp left jabs and rigght up- reuts. Undaunted, the former ntamweight champion never stopped plunging in. After the first half of the battle, the pendulum swung to Martin as Moran tired under the challenger’s charging tactics. More frequently did Mar- tin’s wild swings land on the cham- pion’s head and Morgan was forced to drop his sharp-shooting and slug away. On even terms as the fifteenth round opened, Morgan saved his crown by a brilliant rally that had Martin groggy as the final bell ended the milling. There were no knockdowns hut both were bleeding profusely at the end. Morgan weighed 129 3-4 pounds, Martin 130, the class limit. * The 5,907 customers, surfeited with the feast of boxing they’ve been given this week, paid $17,754 to see the third championship bout staged in New York in four days, Sharkey Will Battle Risko-Godfrey Winner New York, May 25.—@)—Jack Sharkey, Boston heavyweight, has agreed to terms through his man- ager for a match in July with the winner of the Johnny Risko-George Godfrey battle at Ebbets field, June 20, Humbert J.

Four New Marks Are With more than $25,000 already invested in the new race track and fair grounds of the Bismarck Race and Rodgo association east of Fort Lincoln, the property will become even more valuable with the erec- tion of a new grandstand, construc- tion of which began today. Preliminary plans for the erec- tion of bleachers to hold 2,000 people were changed when it became evi- dent a grandstand was desired by harness fans. The new grandstand, thoroughly modern in every respect, is being built on the south side of the half mile track. It will be of the low {type with a curved roof. Two feet of space will be allowed each per- son, six inches more than in the average bleachers or andstand. There will be plenty of leg room. To Be Ready June 19 It is expected the grandstand will be geady two weeks before the race meet June 19, 20 and 21. Buildings constructed are two horse barns, bandstand, judge’s stand and caretaker’s residence. Smoothing and finishing of track will not be coe for several years, Mrs. C. K. Bryan, manager of the association, said today. “It is the intention of the manage- ment to make the Bismarck track the finest in the state. It rivals Bismarck Race Track Is Now $25,000 Investment oher state ovals at the present time but it will be made beter. It is obvious, however, that this cannot be done in one year,” she said.

This will be used this year but will be re- placed by a modern race track fence in 1929. Praise is being received by the local association for the high class entries in North Dakota’s 1928 har- ness premier. In_a letter to Mrs. Bryan, E. J. Curtin, secretary of the Harness Horse association of Chicago, says: “You certainly have a lot of high class horses and I hope your first meeting proves success.” Dr. W. A. Matthews, Flandreau, 8. D., veteran starting judge who will handle the barrier here for all the races, says, “Your entry list is a good one. You can tell your people you have as good a field of horses as were ever in your coun- try. With good weather your patrons will see some real ‘rac- ing.” Expected in Big Ten Track-Field Battle Evanston, Ill, May 25.—(AP)— Big ten track and field luminaries hoped to bolster America’s chances fcr a victorious team with at least four new records as they met in their annual battle for the confer- ence outdoor title in Dyche stadium of Northwestern university today.
