Other California favorites were on the borderline. After a record-breaking day in which virtually all of the headline performances were turned in by stars of the East and Middlewest, the Olympic track and field committee, under pressure, broke precedent by deciding to extend the qualifying limit in all field events from five to eight. The decision was made public as unanimous but it was preceded by a stormy session Friday night and immediately stirred up an East-West controversy in the official family that dwarfed the recent debate over the timing of easterners at the intercol- Jegiate A. A. A. A. championships. Explanation Is Made Joseph T. England of Baltimore, chairman of the committee, made this explanation: “It was the general feeling, on the basis of the closeness of the perfor- mances in nearly all of the field events, that we were justified in ex- tending the qualifying limit in the interest, not of any special section, but of the American Olympic team, which we want to make the strongest possible.” The effect of the ruling was to put @ total of 18 men back into the final competition Saturday after they ap- parently had been eliminated. Of these, nine were Far Western athletes and included such conspicuous per- formers as Dick Barber of Southern California, intercollegiate broad jump champion; Ken Churchill and James DeMers, record-holders in the jave- lin; and Bob Jones of Stanford, in- tercollegiate discus champion. Only a matter of inches separated some of these stars from getting within the first five. Even with another chance, how- ever, all of them faced the necessity of big comebacks to gain one of the three places allotted to each event for the Olympic team. Meanwhile the East figured to con- solidate its advances, paced by the world record feats of John Anderson in throwing the discus 165.54 feet and Leo Sexton in hurling the 16-pound shot 52 feet, 8 inches. These two stalwarts were among the main rea- sons for expecting the New York Athletic Club to capture easily the National A. A. U. team championship, held in conjunction with the trials. Tolan Class of Sprinters The Middlewest, coming through superbly in the track events, looked to Eddie Tolan, dusky filer from Michigan, as the best bet to sweep the sprint finals. The South, too. showed strongly, with Emmett Top- pino of New Orleans in the 100, John- ny Morriss, an assistant school prin- cipal from Abbeyville, La., the high hurdle sensation, and a chance to sweep all three places in the hop, step and jump. On one of its most famous battle- grounds, the far western brigade, by contrast, faced a terrific battle to come back after the shocks to its track and field prestige. Outstanding were the prospects that speedsters such as Eastman and Frank Wykof! the Southern California sprint ace, would be hard-pressed even to make the team, let alone win their favorite events Saturday afternoon. Eastman looked away off form in his 400-meter by comparison with the dazzling formance of his Palo Alto, Pennsylvania. The blond Stanford star won his heat, beating James Gor- don of Los Angeles, among others, in 48.8 seconds but his was more than @ second slower than Carr's time for the other heat, and Big Ben actually had to fight every step of the last 200 meters to do even that well. “He wasn’t the runner we know,” said his coach, Dink Templeton, who witnessed the trials from a wheel- chair on the sidelines. “I'm keenly disappointed but I still think Ben wili come through.” To others it appeared Eastman’s obvious letdown was the natural re- sult of “putting him on the spot” in ‘one of the most extraordinary athletic feuds in a long time. ‘Revenge’ Seems Remote ‘The chances Saturday appeared ex- ‘tremely remote that Eastman would eet the “revenge” his admirers ex- pected for his beating in the 400 at Berkeley. Carr stepped off his 400, “breezing” in in 47.6 seconds, equal- Haw Soe Ctyrapte recor’ as he took the measure of Kar! ‘l Warner of Yale ‘by about four yards. This Eastern Pair was favored to finish 1-2 Satur- day afternoon, with Eastman in the free-for-all struggle for third place. ‘Wykoff bowed only to the best sprinting performance of the trials ‘when he ran second in the 100 to ‘Tolan, who raced against a brisk hheadwind in 10.4 seconds, equaling the ‘world record he shares with Charley Paddock. Nevertheless the Trojan flier obviously was having trouble a: the finish. He withdrew from the 200 meters, complained of @ recurrence of trouble with his back muscles, and subjected himself Friday night to a “baking out” under lamps. Tolan afterward ran a close second to Hec Dyer of Los Angeles in the timed at 21.6 seconds, equaling the Olympic record.

Metcalfe came back in the 200, however, to beat Simpson in 21.7.‘ The third trial in the 200 went to Bob Kiesel, University of California “bullet,” in 21.8, with another mid- west flier, James Johnson, Tilinois state normal, qualifying handily for the second time. With eight qualifiers in each race, minus upsets, the 800- and 1500-meter runs offered little chance to gauge form. Eddie Genung, the national half-mile champion, impressed critics in the 800 with his finishing “kick,” while in the 1500 Henry Brocksmith, “Pen” Hallowell and Glenn Cunning- ham, a trio of collegians, showed to better advantage than the two New York A. C. favorites, Gene Venzke and Leo Lermond, The surprise entry in the hurdles proved to be Morriss, the soytherner, who whipped Percy Beard, national champion, in his first trial and then outraced George Saling of Iowa in the semi-finals of the 110-meter gal- lop over the high sticks. Saling, in an earlier test, equaled the Olympic record of 14.6 seconds and Jack Keller of Ohio State duplicated the feat in the semi-finals. The field events featured the big- gest upsets as well as the most start- ling performances. Sexton in the shot put and Anderson in the discus, on the basis of their record form, out- classed all rivals. Brix Is Disappointment Herman Brix, of Los Angeles, who has surpassed world records with the shot, struggled to finish fifth with a toss of only 49 feet 2 inches. Paul Jessup, who has filed a world record claim in the discus with his American mark of 169 feet, 8% inches, qualified second to Anderson with on- ly 156.37 feet. Clam Friedman of the Olympic club; of San Francisco upset the javelin| dope by getting off the best throw of 212.05 feet. In the broad jump, paced by Lam- bert Redd, of Bradley Tech (Il.), with the mark of 25 feet, 2% inches, Dick Barber finished seventh with only 24 feet, 514 inches. Barber foul- ed on his best leap, in which he clear- ed over 25 feet. Eighteen finals were on Saturday's Program.

FAIRENO ARE Thoroughbreds to Run Mile and Quarter For $90,150 Pot of Gold Chicago, July 16.—(#)—America’s richest three-year-old stake, the Ar- lington classic—a mile and a quarter for a pot of gold totaling $90,150— came up for decision at Arlington claimed champion of the Américan turf. Thirteen of the finest thorough- breds in training were named as the field with a possibility five or more might be withdrawn before post time. Heading the list was Top Flight, queen of the American turf, the cn- try of C. V. Whitney of New York. This amazing flapper, undefeated as two-year-old champion of 1931, rank- ed as favorite, with Faireno, winner of the Belmont, Dwyer and Shevlin stakes, ruling second choice. Indications were the race would be witnessed by a crowd of upwards of 40,000, and would be decided under Perfect weather and track conditions. There was a heavy thunderstorm with a short downpour of rain Fri- day night, but this did not impair the track. Top Flight, defeated only once in her career, and that in her first start this year in the Wood Memorial, moved into favoritism because she has smashed nearly every record she has gone after and has been trained Perfectly for the race.

By all the standards, Gibson al- ready had exceeded the bag limit by producing two such phenoms as Steve Swetonic and Bill Swift in a single season, but he has hauled out another to make life miserable for the opposition. Remy Kremer is the latest to come under the Gibson spell. All but for- gotten in the excitement created by his younger teammates, the veteran had more or less been watching the parade go past until he was turned loose against the Boston Braves Fri- jay. The result was a 1 to 0 victory for the Corsairs, and in the process, Kremer allowed just three hits, two of them by Wally Berger. Matching the leaders stride by stride the Chicago Cubs humbled Brooklyn, 8 to 3, as Lonnie Warneke registered his 13th victory. Charlie Grimm knocked in four Cub runs with a home run and a single. The Phillies fought 12 innings be- fore they subdued Cincinnati, 4 to 3. Freddie Lindstrom's homer with the bases full and Mel Ott's four-bagger with three on featured the Giants’ 2 to 4 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. Cleveland’s wild ride through the eastern sector of the American League was halted when the Yankees knocked Wes Ferrell from the hill and won, 8 to 5. Lefty Gomez scored his 15th victory. Washington ran its winning streak | to seven straight at the expense of the St. Louis Browns, 8 to 7. Despite Al Simmons’ three home runs and a double, driving in six runs, the Athletics dropped an 11 to 10 decision to Detroit in 11 innings.

The commemoration of the event was scheduled for Minneapolis, and the Millers, apparently well on their way to the 1932 title, hoped to celebrate by adding another full game to their lead. Donie Bush’s gang Friday arose to the occasion of winning a 10-inning battle from Indianapolis, 10 to 9, and increased their margin over the In- dians to five full games. Babe Gan- zel’s single with Joe Hauser on third base accounted for the winning run after the Inidans had rallied for three runs in the eighth to tie the score. The victory was Minneapolis’ eighth in a row, and the actions of combination accounted for the big-; any time during the season. | Milwaukee continued to make prog. ledo pitchers for a 9 to 4 victory. St. Paul also made a belated finish to defeat Louisville, 8 to 7. Paschal enjoyed a productive day at bat, ram- ming out a home run and a triple in addition to the double that won the ball game.

The Saints also maintained their wide margin in double plays, having made 123 to 88 for Indianapolis, which ranked second. Texas Girl Queen of Women’s Meet Babe Didrik Hopes to Grab Three Qualifying Places in Track Meet Chicago, July 16.—(#)—America’s feminine track and field talent set out Saturday to battle for 18 places on the 1932 Olympic team, and more than 200 young ladies thought they had @ chance of wining the coveted honor. Ten events were on the program of the affair at Dyche Stadium, North- western University, but only five of them mattered much to the contest- ants. The five were Olympic events —the 100-meter dash, 80-meter hur- dies, high jump, discus thrown and javelin throw — while the other five were for A, A. U. championship culy. Twelve members of the 1928 Olym- Betty Robinson of Chicago, winner of the 100-meter title, was present as an official, but the big attraction was Mildred (Babe) Didrik of Dallas, Tex., who expected to grab off three of qualifying places for herself.

New York, July 16—(7)—The bat- ting leaders of both the leagues Passed through @ poor week as the days grew warmer and the pitchers correspondingly tough, but neither Jimmie Foxx in the American League nor Paul Waner of the National was in immediate danger of losing his laurels, Although he lost five points during the week, Foxx continued to hit a valuable .372 for the Athletics in ad- dition to leading in three other de- partments, and Waner, though drop- Ping 13 points to .367, still was well in front of the National circuit. An injury to his hand probably had something to do with the Pirate ‘Star's slump. Hurst of the Phillies retained his status as runner-up to Waner, with .359, and Earl Averill of Cleveland took over second place in the Amer- ican League with a mark of .343. Fol- lowing are the other leaders through Friday's games: American League: Jolley, Boston, 340; Gehrig, New York, .338; Sim- mons, Philadelphia, 337; Burns, St. Louis, 337; Walker, Detroit, .336; Manush, Washington, .332; Combs, New York, 331; Dickey, New York, 323. National League: Klein, Phillies .353; Lombardi, Cincinnati, 349; O'Doul, Brooklyn, .344; Traynor, Pittsburgh, .344; Orsatti, St. Louis, .329; Herman, Cincinnati, 327; L. Da- ner, Pittsburgh, .327; Ott, New York, .323; Hogan, New York, .323. Foxx was deprived of the leadership in one department during the week. {his teammate, Al Simmons, becoming the American League's leading scorer with 97 runs to Jimmie’s 89. Foxx continued to show the way, however, with 35 home runs, 125 hits, and 107 runs batted in.
