WEIGHTS, QUARTER MILE RECORDS MAY PALL THIS SEASON Ted Meinhover and Wallie Greene, Demons, Should Crack Present Marks STATE RECORDS ARE GOOD State Shot Put and Mile Rec- ords Prove Exceptional for High Schools A glance at the records of the Cap- ital City Track and Field meet re- yeals that eight marks are held by Bismarck high school athletes and six are held by outsiders. Bismarck men have been superior in the 100, 200, 220, and the 440-yard dashes, mile run, high jump, 220-yard low hurdles, half mile relay, and dis- cus throw. Outside schools holding records are McClusky, Carson, Washburn, Man- dan, and Ashley, Wahl, of Ashley, who holds marks in the shot put and javelin, is the only man to hold two records. Weight Marks May Fall Prospects for breaking any of the records this year seem slight except in the discus, javelin, and shot put. Big Ted Meinhover, Bismarck athlete who already holds the discus mark, should hold the record in each of the three throws after this year's meet if he performs up to expectations. If pushed, Wally Greene, Demon cap- tain, should crack the 440 mark. Dark horses may be responsible for bettering other marks, though reports of outstanding men this year are few and far between. Records of the Capital City Track and Field meet follow: 100-yard— Duane Diehl, marck, 1926, 10.2 seconds. 220-yard — Boelter, Bismarck, 1925, 24 seconds. 440- yard — Myer, McClusky, 1926, 57 seconds. 880-yard — Register, Bismarck, 1924, 2 minutes 12 seconds. Mile run— Roberts, Bismarck, 1928, 5 minutes 13.7 seconds. High jump — Lofthouse, Bis- marck, 1927, 5 feet 63% inches. Running broad jump—Scheer- er, Carson, 1924, 19 feet 7 inches. 120-yard high hurdles — Fahl- gten, Washburn, 1925, 18.2 sec- onds. 220-yard low hurdles — LeRoy, Bismarck, 1925, 28 seconds. Half mile relay — Bismarck, 1928, (E. Spriggs, Greene, Davis, and Sell), 1 minute 42.4 seconds. Pole vault—Borreson, Mandan, 1928, 10 feet 7'4 inches. Discus throw—Meinhover, Bis- marck, 1928, 115 feet 5 inches. Javelin throw— Wahl, Ashley, 1925, 137 feet 10 inches. Shot put—Wahl, Ashley, 1924, 40 feet 115 inches. State Records Good Those interested in North Dakota track and field athletics already are looking at the record books, wonder- ing if any standing marks will be shattered May 17 and 18 when ap- proximately 200 high school athletes compete in the State University’s an- nual cinder classic. Last May, Orness of Valley City, heaved the javelin 167 feet and eight inches to establish the only undis- puted new record. Hamilton Simons, Fargo, gained the only other distinc- tion in this line at the meet by run- ning the 220-yard dash in 22 4/5 seconds to tie a mark made first in the dimly remembered days of 1910 by Boyd of Langdon. But Simons and Orneéss have been graduated, and this year’s record- breakers must be new stars. These are the marks they have to shoot at: 100-yard — Harmsen, school for deaf, 1922, 10.2 seconds. Fargo, $80-yard—Mueller, state school for deaf, 1922, 2 minutes 48 sec- Fargo, Mile 1910, 4 mintues 38.8 seconds. Pair of Clever Cleveland Boxers Win Junior A. A. U.

The two-day meet has drawn entries from all sections of the United States and from Hawaii and Canada. Interest today centered chiefly on the decathlon, the high hurdles, the college medley relays, and the ap- pearance of Paavo Nurmi, the phan- tom Finn, who hoped to set up new records for the two- and three-mile events. Keen competition was forecast in the decathlon, with Tom Churchill, Oklahoma, and Barney Belinger, Pennsylvania, the favorites among a dozen other all-around performers. Sol Furth, New York university, loowed as favorite in the 120-yard hurdles in a field carrying 28 other entries. Other timber-toppers who have been clocked in fast time are McCoy, Pennsylvania; Knoblock, Pittsburgh; Boyd and Dureen, Geor- gia Tech; and Crooks, Ohio State.

April 26—()— |Ten thousand golf fans saw the Ry- der cup team of America profession- als take the lead in the first 18 holes of the international foursomes today. It was a bare lead in two of the matches but Leo Diegel and Al Espi- nosa with a brilliant round in which their medal score was 66 smothered the British combination of Capt. George Duncan and Aubrey Boomer and went to lunch, seven up. Walter Hagen and John Golden were two up on Ernest Whitcombe and Henry Cotton and Johnny Far- rell and Joe Turnesa had an advan- tage of one hole on Charles Whit- combe and Archie Compston. Gene Sarazen and Ed Dudley were all square. with Abe Mitchell and Fred Robson. ‘The sensational and well coordinat- ed play of Diegel and Espinosa fea- tured the morning round. They iPlayed practically perfect golf in spite of the more or less ynfamiliar system of playing only one ball be- tween them. Farrell and Turnesa were two down in the early stages of their match and were not able to draw even until the tenth. They lost the eleventh, but with three threes in a row, two of them birdies, took a two hole lead which the British reduced to one when Turnesa missed a putt before the big crowd at the home green. Sarazen and Dudley had the hard- est fight of the morning. Mitchell missed a two foot putt on which he was half stymied at the eighteenth to {lose @ one hole lead. The fourth match was closely con- tested all the vay. Hagen turned the tide in favor of the Americans at the seventeenth when he holed a chip shot and the Americans added an- other at the hone hole when Cotton found a bunker with his second. Smith and Watrous Entered in Singles Teplacing en in the lineup for the United States. Johnny Farrell, American open champion, was named as the No. 1 player i the United States.

A. U. titles, the fruits of upset victories scored last night. Frankie Wallace, a stubby, two- fisted swinger, wen the bantamweight championship from Glen Nute, Tulsa, Okla., who ranked as the favorite be- cause of his success in the earlier rounds. His southpaw style, so effec- tive against early round opponents, failed to bother the Cievelander. Henry Schmid, Grand Rapids, Mich., whose showing in the qualify- ing bouts stamped him as the fa- varite, was forced to bow to the skill and punching ability of Louis Disan- tis, Cleveland, in the 126-pound final. Henry’s brother, Carl, finalist in the lightweight class, took a bad lacing from Tommy Rawson, Boston, and failed to finish the first round. Paris Apice, Providence, R. I. tamed Woodrow Williams, St. Louis, in the flyweight title contest. The crowd of about 10,000 persons yelled disapproval at the decision which gave George Bretsch, Pitts- burgh, the welterweight champion- ship over Morrey Bowman, Grand Rapids. Johnny Lee, Chicago,made a gallant stand against Karnoff Hansen, also pf Chicago, in the 160-pound title engagement, but took a beating. The light heavy final was about the only uninteresting tussle of the card. Harry Allen, Boston, managed to win a decision over Victor Booker, Chicago negro boxer. The heavyweight final provided a knockout as the finishing touch of the tournament, John Schwake, of St. Louis, with a big weight advant- age, putting away Joe Lillich, Wor- cester, Mass. Winners of titles became eligible to enter the International Amateur Union championship tournament here, May 22, 23, 24 and 25. McLeod to Send 10 Demon Athletes to Meet at Fessenden Bismarck Coach Does Not Plan to Win Meet, Just Giving Men Workouts Coach Roy D.

Last year, the opening days were so frigid that the season's attendance dropped approximately 100,000 below that of 1927. This year, the loss may be even more than that of last year, despite the belated opening. Only one game was allowed by the elements in the Hickey circuit yes- terday, but that was a 10-inning af- fair between St. Paul and Louisville. The teams finished the regulation nine innings in a five-all deadlock, | but in the next frame, the Saints pounced upon Walter Beck, who had just reported from Buffalo, and pushed over four runs to cop the con- test, 9 to 5. Maple, Deberry and Cul- lop were unable to stem the tide of St. Paul bats, which cracked out 15 safe blows.

Most of them arrived yesterday, many taking a brief but brisk work- out on the stadium track. The meet started off at 10 o'clock this morning with preliminaries in the high school Class B relays. Tomorrow, finals in the university section will be run off. The relays held a possibility of a new world’s record in the century dash, where names such as those of Bracey of Rice Institute, Elder of Notre Dame, Timm of Illinois, Wilcox of Kansas, and Tolan of Michigan stood out. They also held the prob- ability that either Warne of North- western or Canby of Iowa, not to mention Otterness of Minnesota, Mc- Dermott of Illinois, Soults of Iowa State, McAttee of Michigan State, might break the Drake record of 13 feet in the pole vault. They appeared to endanger the ex- isting mark in the broad jump where Portmess of Northwestern and Gor- don of Iowa were set for a duel of their own if they are able to shake off such opposition as that offered by Simon of Illinois, Thompson of Nebraska, O'Rourke of Notre Dame and Larson of Wisconsin. The high hurdles, likewise, boasted a sensation- al field including Lamson of Nebaska, Taylor of Grinnell, Hager of Iowa State, Haydon of Chicago, Allison and Saling of Iowa and Rodgers and Sentman of Mlinois.
