GOULD Amsterdam, Aug. 6.—(?) —The United States has captured the Olympic track and field champion- ip for the ninth successive time in 32 but only at the expense of the biegest blow to American toot * racing prestige ever sustained on an international field. Th most the unanimous opinion, even among Americans themselves, as the blue ribbon features of the ninth Olympiad closed with France's Al- gerian, El Ouafi, wearing the mara- thon laurel wreath instead of Joie Ray, and the bulk of the remaining running honors divided by Finland and the British empire. : Only the spectacular running of Ray Barbuti in the 400-meter flat in which the Yankees scorea saved the’ United States from com- plete rout on the cinder path. The point margin by which America won the team title, 173 to Finland's 102, was gained chiefly on the brilliance of the field performers, who won tive events. Competition Is Keener Keener competition, as evidenced | by the wider distribution of the chief honors this time than ever before, and the failure of many of the Americans, such > gain their home form, all helped to explain the way the Americans fared. “We haven't a lot to brag about, Head Coach Lawson Robertson ad- mitted, after completion of the eight- day struggle. “But, all circum- stances considered, I think the boys did well. If you think we are gloomy, look at the Germans. I fig- ured them our strongest ri out- side of Finland, but they didn’t win a@ single first place.” Finland ret d distance running supremacv, outside of the marathon; but two defeats for Paavo Nurmi and one for Willie Ritola, at a time | when this pair still was believed to be invincible, ranks as one of the THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE for the United States. Four of them smashed Olympic Sabin Carr of Yale, in the pole | inches. Although a number of the American athletes at Amsterdam proved immense flops in the early events of the Olympic games, these five young men came through in the style expected of them to win first places records to score their victories, while | the fifth gave a very excellent performance to head the field in his event. | The makers of new Olympic records were: vault with a height of 13 feet 9 9-16 lulu, third.

Marathon Is Upset The marathon victory of the Al- gerian Arab, E] Ouafi, who never won a big race before in h capped the climax of a succe: upsets which hit the United States and Germany, saw champions and record-holders trimmed uncerersoni- and developed such new sen- ms as the unheralded Percy iams, double sprint winner. El Ouafi and Miguel Plaza, second place winner, just happened to hit their stride at the right moment and run the favorites ragged, thereby repeat- ing marathon history, which always has been replete with upsets. Ray, though beaten, finished as gamely on his muscle-tightened legs as he did at Boston several months ago. His record of finishing third, first competitive marathons of his career is outstanding. Only two individual champions successfully defended their honors— Douglas Lowe of England in the 800 meters, and Bud Houser of the United States in the discus. With the track and field compe- tition over, American forces con- centrated their energy for the re- ing week of Olympic sports in oared crew and the single sculler, Ken Myers of Philadelphia, are the main rowing hope: Borg’s time of 19:1 4/5 not only beat the Olympic record set by Charlton in winning the champion- ship in 1924 in 20:26 3/5, but also beat his own world’s record of 20:04 2/5, made in Budapest in 1926 and accepted by the International Amateur Swimming federation.

Taking full advantage of this op- i portunity, Connie Mack’s Athletics, with pennant fever racing through their veins, trounced Detroit, 5 to 1, as Lefty Grove, 28-year-old south- paw, fired the ball past Tiger bats- men with bewildering speed.

Cards Whip Giants In the first game of one of thosé well-known “crucial” series, the St. Louis Cardinals stretched their Na- tional league lead to six and a half games by turning back their closest rivals, the New York Giants, 6 to 4 in 15 innings. Singles by Bottomley and Blades and doubles by Holm and Hafey in the 15th gave the Cardi- nals the game. Clarence Mitchell pitched the first 14 innings for the Cards but was replaced by Haid with one on and none out in the last half of the final frame. Carl Hub- bell, young Texas league recruit, suffered. a heart-breaking defeat after he had pitched 12 2/3 innings and granted only seven hits, four of these, however, came in the 16th where they hurt most. Behind Dazzy Vance’s great pitch- ing, the Brooklyn Robins salvaged one game out of the four game series with the Chicago Cubs 5 to 2, the Robins knocked Percy Jones out of the box in the first inning.

In the first game, Orsatti drove home three runs with a home run in the fifth inning, in the nightcap, the Kels scored all four runs in the sec- ond frame. Kansas City had the services ot its two mound aces, Sheehan and Zinn, but the Senators were not to be denied. They laghed out 10 hits for an 8 to 4 victOry in the first over Sheehan and Morrison, which were good for 30 bases and a 19 to 3 victory.
