The struggle for the title shapes up as another close one, with Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State and Illinois, the top contenders, but interest in the performances of individuals will over- shadow the team angle in this Olymp- ic year. The standouts for places on the Olympic squad appear to be Henry Brocksmith, Indiana’s mile and two- mile star; Ohio State’s Jack Keller in the hurdles, and Edwin Russell of Michigan, in the quarter mile. Other possibilities include a fleet of pole vaulters, Lennington of Illinois, Bryce Beecher and Joe Divich of Indiana, John Wonsowicz of Ohio State, Elton Hess of Minnesota, and Ralph Lovshin of Wisconsin. All have done 13 feet, six inches, or better. Brooker Brooks CHAMPIONSHIPS records for the mile and two mile, at 4:12.5, and 9:18.6, respectively, is look- ed upon as a certainty in either or both events, but probably will lack competition. Russell also appears to be in a class by himself in the quar- ter. Keller, however, will get plenty of opposition in the high hurdles from Saling of Iowa. Saling has a mark of 14.4 seconds, one-tenth of a second better than the Buckeye star's best this season. Keller, how- ever, appears to be away better than ‘any of the low hurdiers. In a dual meet with Michigan last Saturday, he ‘skimmed over the distance in 22.9 seconds, @ tenth of a second slower than the conference record. Ohio State also apparently has come up with a successor to the Great George Simpson in the dashes. In Saturday’s meet Don Bennett won both the 100 and 200 in sensational time. His time for the century was 309.6, and for the 220 was even bet- ter, 20.7, a tenth of a second slower Gi world record. fending champions returning are Russell in the quarter, George Wright of Wisconsin, in the two-mile; Keller in the high hurdles; Greg Kabat of Wisconsin, in the discus; Clarence Munn, Minnesota’s all-America foot- stival Track Meet to Regain Title _OPEN ER TO NAPOLEON, 6 TO 5 Petrolle Will Meet Battalino Friday BIG TEN OLYMPIC CANDIDATES TO Winner is Expected to Take on Victor of Berg-Fuller Engagement New York, May 16.—(P)—A pair ot for Tony Canzoneri’s lightweight title should emerge from ring warfare at Chicago and New York this week. Billy Petrolle tackles Christopher (Bat) Battalino at Chicago Friday night while Sammy Fuller, Boston battler, squares off against Jack (Kid) Berg of England in New York the same evening. Plans materialize, the winners be paired in a final elimination the ultimate survivor of which get a “shot” at Canzoneri’s gPhen Both are return bouts. Petrolle gave Battalino a@ terrific beating in their first battle, stopping the former featherweight champion in the 12th and final round. This time they will go only ten rounds. Puller and Berg, who galloped 10 fast rounds to a draw here recently, will try again at 12 rounds. ‘These bouts head a national card in which the only other matches of out- standing importance send Young Stribling, Macon, Ga., heavyweight, against Joe Doctor of Buffalo at To- ronto tonight, and Young Corbett, Calif., welterweight, against of Michigan, and Frank Purma of Tllinois, both have bettered 150 feet in the discus, and may win places. Brocksmith, who set big ten indoor O as th e A missed shot, or rather an inac- curate shot, often can be attributed to improper functioning of the left foot. Many times I have seen players start the downswing with the left heel still off the ground and the body turned away from the objec- tive. If one swings in this manner the arms cannot swing. freely and} hitting power is blocked by the left! side. Since the backswing is made by the body turning away from the ball it is only natural that the body be turned toward the ball as the down- swing is started. This is easily ac- |complished if the heel is replaced/ ti. Indians Increase Association Lead | by Winning Twice Minneapolis Slips Into Second Place by Tripping St. Paul, 7 to 6 Chicago, May 16.—(®)—Among the reasons why the Indianapolis Indians tion is the work of an old-timer, Sammy Hale. Hale, who played long and well for Connie Mack's Athletics, was signed just before the season opened to play third base for the Indians. So far, there has been no reason to think a mistake was made. He has a bat- ting average in the neighborhood of .370, and has driven in 20 runs, and has fielded well enough to make third base as tight as any spot in the In- dian infield. Indianapolis Sunday increased its lead over the next place club to three by taking a pair from Louis- ville, 10 to 7, and 10 to 4, Hale hit safely twice in game. Minneapolis slipped into second place by tripping St. Paul Sunday, 7 to 6, in 11 innings, while Kansas City was dividing a doubleheader with Milwaukee. Although the Millers out- batted St. Paul, 17 to 5, they had to come from behind to tie the score in the ninth. Slim Harriss, Russ Van Atta and Bud Strelecki were the vic- tims of the Millers’ wasteful hitting efforts, while Rube Benton gave the Saints all their hits, before being re- lieved by Brillheart and Rosy Ryan. Kansas City went 10 innings to outpoint Milwaukee, 8 to 5, in the first. game, but took a 15 to 17 beat- in the second which was a wild hitting affair.

Foxx and Chafey Hold Top Places in Major Leagues Senior Division Holds Slight Edge Over Rivals in Slug- ging Department New York, May 16.—(P)—A little Over a month after the opening games of the major league season, Jimmie Foxx of the Philadelphia Athletics and Chick fey of the Cincinnati Reds hold the™top places in the bat- ting lists for the big leagues. Foxx, one of the American League leaders from the start, shot his aver- age up to the new height of 458 Fri- day to top both leagues at the end of the fifth week. Hafey had not played often enough before this week to earn ® regular’s rating but he finally got in with 67 times at bat and after Fri- day’s games topped the National League by 52 points with a 418 mark, Only two other big league regulars jare hitting better than .400. ‘They | are Bill Dickey of the New York Yan- kees with .409 and Carl Reynolds of Washington. Here are the “first ten” hitters in E both circuits, taking 60 times at bat as the low mark for “regulars:” American League: Foxx, .458; Dickey, 409; Reynolds, 407; Cronin, Washington, .355; Porter, Cleveland. -349; Walker, Detroit, .348; Cochrane, Philadelphia, 347; Gehrig, New York, -342; Oliver, Boston, 341; Selph, Chi- National League: Hafey, .418; Critz, New York. .366; Terry, New York, .360; P.

The National League holds a slight edge in the various slugging depart- ments with its leader topping the first place’ man in the American League in runs, doubles, home runs, Tuns batted in and stolen bases. The junior circuit leads in total hits and in triples. The slugging leaders for both cir- cuits are: Runs—Klein, Phillies, 26; Foxx, Athletics, 25; hits—Foxx, Ath- letics, and Porter, Indians, 38; Collins, Cardinals, 37; doubles—Paul Waner, Pirates, 12; Johnson, Tigers, Camp- bell, and Oliver, Red Sox, 9; triple, Myer, Senators, 5; Klein, Phil- lies, Herman, Reds, and Suhr and Vaughn, Pirates, 4.

Stolen bases—Frisch, Cardinals, 6; Chapman, Yankees, Blue, White Sox, and Burns, Browns, 5. ‘The National League also can boast '@ pitching leader who has been more successful than the American League's best.
