THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1980. Uncle Sam Continues To Reign Over John Bull On Track and Field ° BROOKLYN NOT READY TO BE COUNTED OUT OF NATIONAL RACE SUPREMACY IN FIELD EVENTS GIVES YANKS ; NINE'T0 FIVE MARGIN * Meet in Huge Lighted Soldier Field Stadium Presented Big Spectacle : EIGHT RECORDS ARE BROKEN One-Mile and Two-Mile Relays Are Interesting; Conger Is Outclassed Chicago, Aug. 28—(?)—Unclg Sam f still reigns supreme in track and field athletics — with on the “field.” Before a crowd of 43,000 spectators, , the largest ever to watch a track meet. Eon the American continent, the Unit- ed States, for the third time, defeated the pick of Great Britain's track and field stars, in Soldier Field stadium last night. The event, conducted un- der artificial lighting, was more im- pressive than meets held in the day emphasis i | ; time, and provided the throng with, one thrill after another, as Uncle Sam triumphed, nine events to five. The American team won over the gallant Empire team in the same fashion they won the 1928 Olympic games at Amsterdam —by immense ssuperiority in the field events. Not a ‘point did the British score in the ‘field, and had their field strength been comparable to their power in the distance races, the United States probably would have suffered its first defeat in the dual meet. Eight Rocords Broken Eight meet records were wrecked, five of them by the Americans. Start- ing with the 400-yard relay, the open- ing event, the Americans went on to win the pole vault, shot put, high jump, 480-yard shuttle hurdle relay, hammer throw, broad jump, javelin throw and mile medley relay. The Britains triumphed in the one - mile relay, the four-mile relay, two-mile relay, two-mile steeplechase, and thee-mile team race. While the wearers of the American shields were supreme in the field, the British gave them a man-sized lesson im the distance runs. The four-mile melay was a race until R. H. Thomas, England, hooked up with Ray Conger of the Tilinois A. C., inthe final mile. Thomas stayed near Conger until the Jast half-mile, but from there on he stepped out and at the finish had a Jead of 70 yards over the American ace. This mile was run in just a ) ‘raction over 4:15, and was as impres- ve as any performance in the meet. Edwards Gets Lead The British were no less superior in the two-mile relay. The first half of the race was a contest, but Phil Ed- wards, former New York university negro star, competing for British Guiana, ran R. R. Betham, jr., of the nnsylvania Railroad A. zround, and left England's T. Hamp- 50n with nothing to do but hold a 20) fyard lead over Orval Martin, Pur- ‘ue, Western Conference and na- sional collegiate middle distance shampion. Records started falling in the first svent. Russell Sweet, former Mon- sana sprint star, Cy Leland of Texas Dhristian university, George Simpson, Dhio State comet, and Eddie Tolan af the University of Michigan, did 37.5 in the 400-yard relay to defeat seigh Miller of Canada, W. B. Lege of South Africa, E. L. Page of Eng- and, and Johnny Fitzpatrick of Can- ada and better the former mark pf :37.8.

ROBINS BREAK LONG LOSING SPELL WITH GIANTS AS VICTIMS McGraw’s Men Are Stopped 7 to 2 by Rejuvenated Club Back in Form CUBS. LOSE TO PIRATES Cards Win Eighth Straight; White Sox Win Pair Over Cleveland Nine (By the Associated Press) Brooklyn, which led the National league longer than any other this sea- son, is far from being out of the pen- nant race. The Robins, back in their home sec- tion, have begun to battle for a place in the pennant race again by trounc- ing the. New, York Giants. The Robins opened the series with the Giants slamming out a 7 to 2 vic- tory yesterday and reducing the dis- tance between second place and third | toa half game. Big Jim Elliott, who | came into the game after Bill Clark's | dispute with Umpire Jorda had sent him out, outpitched three opponents to hold the New Yorkers to nine hits while the Robins piled up 15 effec- tive wallops. Johnny Frederick's home run, which put the Robins Wright's four hits in five times at ‘were the principal slugging feats. Gain on Cubs Also The Robins not only gained a game on the Giants and held their own against the oncoming St. Louis Cardi- | nals, but they picked up a lap on the league leading Chicago Cubs. The Cubs found some rough going against the Pittsburgh Pirates and lost the final clash of their series, 10 to 8, in a wild hitting struggle. The defeat left Chicago five and one-half games ahead of the Giants but enabled the Robins and St. Louis each to gain a game, placing them. six and one-half games behind respectively. St. Louis remained a half game be- hind Brooklyn by winning its eighth straight game. ‘Sparky Adams, who filled Frank Frisch's: piace at second | base, pulled the Cards through to a 2 to 1 victory over Cincinnati. Adams scored both of the St. Louis runs. | The Phillies, who had lost five straight games, and the Boston Braves, who had lost four, met in the other National league clash and it {was the longer losing streak which |ended. With Sugar Sweetland pitch- |ing effectively and Fred Brickell hit- | ting with just as much effect, Phil- adelphia won 9 to 3. Chisox Win Twice With the eastern clifbs of the Amer- | ican league enjoying a day of idleness, | the activity in the junior circuit was | confined to the lower-ranking clubs. The Chicago White Sox gained the big triumph of the day, taking a clear hold on sixth place by winning two games from the Cleveland Indians, holders of fourth. The Sox pounded the offerings of four Cleveland pitch- ers for 21 hits and a 14 to 5 victory in the first game then outlasted the In- | dians to take a 5 to 4 decision in the second as Tei Lyons won his twen- tieth game of the season. The St. Louis Browns, rode through to a 5 to 0 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

Nelson had | « @ chance last year to get within the! money group, but failed when he gol-| lapsed 50 yards from the finish. Yesterday he climbed out of the somewhat warmer water apparently as fresh and strong as when the nearly 200 swimmers plunged into the| lake. Only nine finished. Five hundred yards back of the win-| ner trailed Isador Spondor, Port Col-| borne, Ont. One-half hour later William F. Goll, New York city, crawled out of the g; water for third place. Fourth went to George Blagden, Memphis, Tenn., one of the favorites; while Ernst Vier- koetter, Germany, who was second last year and won the “cold-water”! swim of 1927, when none of the. start- | jers failed to finish, was fifth. *Norman | Ross, Chicago, finished sixth to get in the money. The other three to com- jplete the course were Clarence A. 'Ross, Brooklyn. N. Y.; Paul Zegger, | Farmington, Conn.; and Alfred Sully, Toronto.

A simple little plan is to aim directly at that which you particularly want to avoid. And because the ball can’t be steered, you miss it by trying to make it, Sometimes a slice can be cured by trying to steer the ball. If you are a slicer, try hitting for the right side of the fairway — not for the rough, but for the right fringe of the fairway. If you go into the rough, one bad shot won’t mean so much to you anyhow. And the result may surprise you, «Copyright. 1930, NEA Service. Inc.) TOMORROW: Natural grip.

Editors throughout the state have ‘een unusually friendly toward State college in the past, according to Mr. Finnegan, who says that the Bison have not had a real opportunity to reciprocate in the past. Davis-Elkins won 10 out of 11 games last year, and in 1928 took the Naval Academy into camp2 to 0.
