TOURNEY FINALS Nodaks Lead With 19 Men Placing in Preliminaries; Red Jarrett Hurt Grand Forks, N. D., May 30—(?)—' Continuing their attempt to lower records, 62 athletes from five schéols competed Saturday in finals of the North Central conference track and field meet. The University of South Dakota, although second high in the number of men placing in the preliminaries Friday, was a strong favorite, 14 men from this institution qualifying. The University of North Dakota, placing first in the preliminaries with 19 qualifiers, may be handicapped by another injury to Glenn Jarrett who was hurt while broad jumping 22 feet 9 inches. He placed first in the event, falling just three-eighths of an inch short of the conference record. South Dakota state has 13 qual- ifiers, Morningside 11, and North Da- kota Aggies, five. Conference coaches and athletic directors spent most of Friday dis- cussing the threatened investigation of loop athletics next fall by the North Central Association of Col- Jeges and Secondary Schools. ‘They took no definite stand on the matter and it was expected the re- solution would come up for discussion. again today when faculty representa- tives meet. Shires Continues | Lead in Class Hitting Averages Indianapolis Holds Team Bat- ting Honors; Sarge Con- nally Tops Hurlers Chicago, May 30.—()—Pitching in the American association last week looked just the same to Charles Arthur (The Great) Shires, as it has since he hit his stride, and his aver- age of .443, was good enough to retain the individual batting race lead, ac- cording to unofficial figures which include Wednesday's games. The great man’s mark was the same as @ week ago, and in addition, he was the leader in two other depart- ments and tied for the top in another. He had peeled off 58 hits and his total base collection was 82, while he had scored 33 runs to share the lead- coe with Eddie Pick of Kansas City. Tommy Angley, Indianapolis catch- er, had a mark of .447, but had played in 24 games, compared to the 33 in which Shires has participated. Other leading regulars were: Kubek, Mil- waukee, .438; Ganzel, le, 407; Cook and Nimmo tied for honors in the Lake Region golf tournament held at Devils Lake a short while ago and possibilities are that they will meet sometime in the championship flight. If such proves to be the case they will settle the Lake Region su- premacy at the same time. the pool may be opened Tuesday or ‘Wednesday depending on the weather. In preparation for the annual open- ing the pool has been cleaned and scrubbed, leaks in the walls have been repaired and new ladders installed. A little water will be run into the pool Sunday, Reel said. Improvements to the bath house consist of redecorating the in- terior and painting of the exterior. To safeguard the health of swim- ming patrons the pool will be drained and cleaned at least once a week, Reel added.

E Mg THE BALL AT RIGHT ANAS How should the putter be taken back? How should the ball be hit? * ee Calamity Jane, the famous Jones putter, swings back with an open face under pressure of the last three fin- gers of Bobby's left hand. Walter Hagen takes his back with the right hand, using an open face for long puts and a closed face on shorter ones. Horton Smith uses both hands in taking the club back. They. differ in the way they hit the ball, too. Jones hits with the right hand. Hagen putts against the left hand. Smith hits with both. If the player will take a comfort- able stance and concentrate on get- ting the clubhead into the ball at right angles to the line of the putt, any of the above methods will prove successful. Of course the putter must be swung low along the ground. Be- cause Jones is such a renowned put- ter, I can't help but favor his partic- ular Arlett, - Hornsby Lead in Batting in American Loop Ed Brandt, Boston Hurler, Leads in Pitching With Seven Wins and No Defeats New York, May 30.—(#)—Between them, Buzz Arlett of Philadelphia and Rogers Hornsby of the Chicago’ Cubs, have gained almost a complete! monopoly on the National League's batting honors. Arlett’s teammate, Chuck Klein, is the only other player who breaks into the limelight of the current records, which include Wed- nesday’s games. In the averages, Arlett leads the regulars with a mark of .378 and Hornsby is second with .374. The Philadelphia recruit also is ahead in hits, with a total of 51. in homers with ten, and in runs batted in with 37. He also has scored 26 runs and hit ten doubles and three triples to place well up in those lists. Hornsby is first in doubles with 15 and second only to Klein in scoring with 31 runs. Klein has scored 38 runs, nine of them on homers. Red Worthington of Boston leads the three-base hitters with seven while Ernie Orsatti of St. Louis is second with five. Babe Herman of Brooklyn, and Virgil Davis and Dick Bartell, Philadelphia, have bit 12 doubles apiece for second place. Adam Comorosky of Pittsburgh has stolen the most bases, seven. “Old Hoss” Riggs Stephenson of Chicago has climibed to third place in the batting averages at .351 follow- ed by Worthington at 343 and Walt Roettger of Cincinnati, last week's leader, at .342.

The only improvement I have found—and the greatest factor in the present wave of wrestling popu- larity—is that the modern wrestlers with their dash and go are better entertainers than the grunters of a decade past. ‘The same routine is being followed today that was popular then. A wrestling champion doesn’t last very lJong—because the public constantly is demanding a new interest, and be- cause the demands upon his physical self are too great to bear. Strangler Lewis has lost his title and regained it four times. A man just has to rest sometimes! Need New Talent Revival of a racket like wrestling depends upon new faces and chang- ing styles. Jim Londos hasn’t been the Curley champion very long now, but already fans are beginning to wonder how he manages to end all his matches with that same old air- Plane spin. The first few times you see the airplane spin, it is thrilling. But after you see it seven or eight times, ho hum! and a couple of well, wells! When Lewis regained his title re- cently in Los Angeles from Don George, he really was only resuming his work where he left off when he lost to Sonaenberg early in 1929 be- fore a $70,000 house in Boston. His vacation was over; he was back pounding the beat. Look To Lewis The fact is that Jim Londos, the Curley champion, recognized in New York and Pennsylvania, had been cutting seriously into the national wrestling surplus. With Lewis cham- pion again, the fans would scream for the Strangler. Besides, a rich field in New York City has been practically untouched by the Bowser-Sandow People. Thus, Illinois acted drastically. The substance of Illinois’ action was that there can’t be two wrestling champions defending their titles in that state. The problem was solved by declaring there is no wrestling champion. As a rule the lines of action of the big leagues of wrestling are fairly sharply defined, but I am told there have been some disagreements lately between Paul Bowser, manager of Don George, and Billy Sandow, the Strangler’s head man. This dissen- sion within the league may mean that the wrestlers of the Curley circuit will get more of a play on the Pacific coast. Los Angeles fans are begin- ning to catch on to the Bowser-San- dow curves. ‘This is the fifth Expect Changes In both the wrestling leagues, changes in the “championships” are soon due. That may explain why Mr. Lewis has won and lost the title four times. The story of Lewis’ title the last few years is intriguing in more ways than one. You may remember that Lewis lost his title in Kansas City in 1925 to Wayne (Big) Munn. The mistake that Mr. Munn made was to wrestle Stan Zbyszko later in the same year. Jack Curley went to Zbyszko's corner, offered him a small fortune if he would throw Munn, and Zbyszko consented, making short work of Munn. It was then claimed by Lewis that he had been fouled in the Munn match. In the same year Stecher lifted “the title” from Zbyszko, so it became necessary for Lewis really to wrestle Mr. Stecher in order to get back that championship, Mr. Lewis did wrestle Mr. Stecher and won.
