On the strength of their exhibition of stamina ing the champion Columb of speed in shattering the old record for the four-mile ity classic, the Golden Bears seemed to be the most formidable entry for ¢ honors and five ¢ the trials that will be held on the! — Schuylkill river, at Philadelphia, | July 6 and 7, to select the American | crew for the Olympic regatta at] Amsterdam. California's astonishing triumph in the climax race of the intercolleg- jate championship regatta was scored over the grueling four-mile route, whereas the Olympic tests are at 2,000 meters or approxi- mately a mile and a quarter. It means that the bears now must cut down their racing strategy and form from the endurance distance to the sprint route, none of the dripping crowd of 75,000 spectators who saw them win a heartbreaking race last evening doubts their abil- ity to do it. Columbia Fights The Bears beat a fine crew in the Columbia eight, the boatload that won the race a year ago, a gallant outfit that went down fighting to the last ditch and that will give California or any other crew a right to compete in the Olympics. California beat Columbia by bare- ly three quarters of a length. slight- ly less than three seconds. The new champions hung up a new four mile record of 18 minutes, 35 4-5 sec- onds. Columbia as well as a gal- lant Washington eight finished in- side the old mark of 18 minutes, 53 1-5 seconds, made by Cornell in 1901. Columbia's time was 18:58 and Washington 18:46. Cornell, fourth to finish the var- sity race, was not far from the old mark with 19:01 but the others were strung out pretty well in the ruck, Navy, Syracuse and Pennsyl- vania finishing in that order in the seven crew contest. For California it was the goal achieved after three failures. The Bears were second in their first at- tempt seven years ago, sixth on their return in 1926, third last year.

Sweeps Columbia Off Hudson California outrowed Columbia in the annual Poughkeepsie Regatta yesterday, defeating last year’s champion STEEPLECHASE AGAIN Willie Ritola, Who Spends His' Time Carpentering in the) United States, Was Easy Winner Last Year With Teammate, Katz, a Good Runner-up BY ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) New York, June 20—(?)—The steeplechase, a spectacular event that is neglected in this country for no apparent reason, looms as a cut and dried vehicle of victory for Fin- land’s rugged runners again. Willie Ritola, “Wandering Willie,” | who spends his time carpentering in the United States between Olym- piads, won the 3,000-meter steeple- chase in the last Olympics in easy style, with his countryman, Katz, runner-up and the first American, Marvin Rick of Princeton, in fourth place. Ritola not only will be back to defend his title over the hurdles and water jumps at Amsterdam but will be aided, if not beaten, by his countryman, Paavo Nurmi, essay- | ing a new Olympic test. With the cross-country off the program this year Paavo is turn- ing to the ’chase in order to keep himself busy. The distance is just | a romp for Nurmi. He has never had much difficulty defeating Ritola at other distances and events so he | likely will be a favorite to keep his slate clean, although Ritola is par- tial to the steeplechase. It would be the most sensational sort of an upset for any American to break up this Finnish combina- tion. None has been able to beat Ritola in this country so it isn’t likely they can do it abroad. Nevertheless there are potential point-scorers, if not Olympic win- ners in the American fold. There might be more if the steeplechase was held often enough to give the talent a chance to develop. _ To illustrate the possibilities it is only necessary to recall the way young Harold Keith of the Univer- sity of Oklahoma stepped out to win the first steeplechase of tis life at the Penn Relays this spring. The event, put on the program for the first time at Philadelphia, was held in a driving rain but Keith! displayed astonishing skill for an Did You Know— The Boston papers have base- ball back on the front page. + Fond of the Red Sox and Carrigan, too. ...

Alex failed to the route but he left Wee Willie Sherdel with a lead to work on in the seventh when the Reds rallied for three runs. Jim Bottomley hit his 15th homer of the year and took the league lead in that department. Vance Loses Game Dazzy Vance pitched just two balls at Ble and Brookl: it down to defeat, 11 to 10. Aft- er Jim Elliott had knocked out home run in the first half of the ninth and given the Robins a one- run lead, the Phils put two men on the paths in their half. Vance then was summoned to relieve El- liott. He pitched one wide one. The next one was to the liking of Wal- ter Lerian and the ensuing triple down the third base line scored the tying and winning runs. Elliott was charged with the defeat be- ‘'s outfielder, smashed homers in the first and second inning: Whitney got one in the seventh.

Risko lost a decision to Heeney at Detroit be- fore the tournament started, so the New Zealand blacksmith plucked the prize plum. Johnny won but he didn’t get anything. Rickard told Johnny to keep on winning bouts and perhaps he’d get his chance next year. Risko is heeding this advice but he’s fighting Godfrey at Ebbets Field for none other than Humbert J. Fugazy, Rickard’s metropolitan romoterial rival. Godfrey has n doing all the serious “black menacing” since Harry Wills was forced into retirement. His great size and a_ decision victory over Paulino Uzcudun, the ittling Basque, have made him a 7 to 6 favorite over Risko. Boxing critics generally feel, however, that Risko would outspeed and outpunch the big negro and gallop off with the decision. Godfrey will scale in the neigh- borhood of 235 pounds to 192 for Risko; he will have six inches edge on the baker boy in height and 5 1-2 inches in reach, WHO'D FORGET THAT?
