When the great dark cloud first hove in sight, players on both teams put on real speed and were : coming through with some mighty ¢ fast baseball, in the attempt to get in enough innings to make an of- figial game before the wall of water struck, but to no avail. Scores Made The Moose had scored two runs in. the first frame and added an- other in the third, while the Elks had slipped over one in the first. Behind the chucking of Jim Mor- an, the Paps seemed well on their way to another ball game. Morgan had already collected five strike- outs out of twelve batters to face him and the Elks run was in no way his fault, Bardi scoring from third when Forsythe threw wild on what should have been the third out. Morgan had allowed no hits. Koski, hurling for the Purples, needed a bit of taming—he had given four walks and two hits for Oiscus But taree not a ball one more before the AMERICANS HAVE WON THE EVENT SEVEN OUT OF TEN TIMES 11 Righis Raserved by The Ansicialed Pross SPORT SLANTS If any single event on the ath- letic program stands as a symbol of the Olympic Games it is the discus throw. The famous Greek statue of Discobolus typifies the ancient athletic contests more than |anything else. The Greeks insisted that the discus throw be included Olympic Games were inaugurated in 1896, but nno Greek ever won the event, From the very start American athletes adapted themselves to the art of plate-tossing with great suc- cess. The event was unknown to Americans when the Games were revived. But that didn't keep Rob- ert Garrett of the American forces from walking off with first honors in 1896. Garrett, a weight-tosser from Princeton, was selected for the event because of his experience with the shot. He hurled the plat- ter almost 96 feet, and that was farther than any of the more ex- perienced contestants could do. America was not successful in defending the title at the 1900 Games when Bauer of Hungaty out-distanced the field with a throw of slightly more than 118 feet. But, the immortal Martin Sheridan re- gained the title in 1904 and suc- cessfully defended in 1906 and 1908. Finland took the championship in 1912 and 1920, but since that time the United States has ruled su- preme. Bud Houser won in Paris, and again at Amsterdam. John Anderson, the former Cornell star, won at Los Angeles in 1932 when he sailed the discus 162 feet 4% inches for the existing Olympic | record. The Art Develops Garrett’'s winning toss of 1896 would hardly net him a prize in high school competition today. The art of tossing the discus has come along by leaps and bounds since then. The 96-foot throw of Garrett looks puny when compared with the existing -world record for the event. Harald Anderson, of Sweden, holds the mark—171 feet 11% in- ches—made 'in 193¢. Ken Carpenter of Southern California had a toss of 173 feet to his credit this spring. America seems fairly well forti- fied in this classic event this year. In addition to Carpenter, there is Gordon (Slinger) Dunn, former Stanford star, who won the event Island, and Walter Wood, Cor- nell's intercollegiate champion. . Some idea of the quality of the competition for the three places available on the Olympic squad can be gained from the fact that Phil Levy, a Coast star with a 170-foot artillery. et Lode and placer locallon neiices for sale at The Empire office. toss to his credit, was unable to win a place. John Anderson, es- on the program when the modern | Olympic record with a toss of 165" | feet this spring, but could not win iu berth on the squad which is now |in Berlin. Paul Halleck of Ohio University boasted a toss of 167 feet but was not good enough at the final tryouts. | It's a Jinx | Records seem to jinx the discus throwers in Olympic competition. | Jim Duncan for years held the {world mark for the event—156 feet —yet the best he could do at Stock- { holm in 1912 was third place. Paul’ Jessup, giant from the University ! of Washington, boosted the mark | to 169 feet 87% inches at the 1930 national championship meet, but two years later failed to make the ‘squad which competed at Los An- 1 geles. | Carpenter, the present record holder, was forced to take second place behind Dunn in fhe final tryouts and that may be an indica- tion of what he can expect at the| international Games in Berlin. The trio selected to represent America looks formidable enough, and if one of the stars happens to he a| bit off form on the day of the | competition, either of the other {two would seem capable of reeling loff a toss that will insure the championship’s remaining in Am- erica. Harald Anderson, holder of the accepted world mark, appears to be Europe's main threat. Then \there is Willi Schroeder of Ger- {many, who has been credited with la throw of 174 feet. If Schroeder is able to match that toss in Olympic competition, Dunn, Car- penter and Wood will have to do plenty of scratching.

That was the word brought back here recently by an official of the Dollar amship Lines after a tour of Malaya, [} stituted Si problem. Today, ng and re driving of bicycles have be- come so prevalent, and the accident rate so high, that the Government requires all bicycles and their rid- ers to be licensed. Repeated offenses bring revoca- tion of the license, and riding with- out a license entails a jail term. Rickshaws have been subjected to a licensing system for years, | much as taxicabs in America. Their ;number is gradually being reduced as transport in the Orient becomes modernized. There are now 6,000 rickshaws in Singapore, as compar- ed with 20,000 a few. years ago. The abandonment of the rickshaw is being carried out gradually to avold throwing large numbers of rickshaw pullers’ out of work. - MINER RECOVERING Alvin Norin, mine employee, who was taken to St. Ann's Hospital yesterday in an ambulance suffer- ing from a complete fracture of the bone in one of his legs, is re- ported doing nicely today after the bone had been set.
