Part 4—4 Pages _ SCHOLZ SCORES IN SPRINT AND BROWN IN HIGH JUMP Three Washington Men Triumph, Norton Winning in 400-Meter Hurdles, Dowding in Broad Jump and Ascher in 400-Meter Run. N of an unusually brilliant array of EW YORK, June 7.—The sensational sprinting of Jackson V. Scholz, ew York Athletic Club veteran, who bettered the Olympic re¢ord for 100 mieters three successive times, was the outstanding feat performahces today at the eastern Olympic track and field try-outs in the Yankee Stadium before a crowd of more than 38,000. A second Olympic standard was bettered when Le Roy Brown, a clubmate of Scholz and former .intercollegiate champion as a Dart- mouth athlete, leaped 6 feet 64 inches in the running high jump, more than two inches higher than the international mark set by Dick Landon at the Antwerp games four years ago. As a result of the try-outs in sixteen events, a contingent of seventy- three eastern stars was selected to fight it out next week at Boston for places on the American Olympic team, which sails for France June 16. This list includes all those landing among the first four places today, in addition to several others whose chances still are considered good enough for another test. . Scholz's performance in _conquer- ing the fleetest dash men of the east marked one of the most sensational come-backs of the spring and lifted the veteran to the top rank of Uncle Sam's sprinting hopes for the Paris championships. He vanquished Loren Murchison, national champion, in the semi-finals and in the final heat de- feated” Alf Lecone: former intercol- legiate champion, 0 also showed a brilliant return to form, and Frank Hussey, sensational New York school- boy, who was the center of all eyes » made his debut in open compe- tition. Scholz was clocked in 10 3-5 see- onds for his first and final heats, one- fifth of a sccond better than the Olympic mark held jointly by Charley Paddock and R. C. Craig of America and Walker of South Africa. The Mercury Footer's best work, however, came in the semi-final, when he out- footed Murchison by a yard in 101-5 seconds, only _one-tenth of a second behind the world record held by Pad- dock 5 Murchinson Not in Form. Murchinson, who has been ill with tonsilitis for a week, was beaten fairly, but did not appear at his best and withdrew from the final on the advice of Lawson Robertson, head Olympic track coach There were reports that Murchison also was threatened with appendi- citis, but the Newark Athletic Club star denied this, and said that with a few days’ rest he would be §t for the final trials next week. He was as- sured his place in them by the de- cision of Olympic officials today when he withdrew. Hussey, after winning his preliminary + heat, gave a creditable performance in the semi-finals and final, in_which he finished only a yard behind Scholz and inches in back of Leconey, but the schoolboy_star's inexperience proved too great a handicap in the test of speed with veteran rivals. He will make his final bid for a place on the team next woels, however. Another sprinting ace returned to form in Fred Lovejoy, former Cornell | captain, now representing the New York | A C., who uncorked a headlong spurt in the last ten yards to win the 200-meter dash from Leconey. with Eugene Good- willie, Chicago youth, now a Cornell freshman, in third place. Johmmy Norton -of the Washington anoe Club was the winner of the 400- meter hurdles. The veteran, a_member of the 1920 Olympic team and former + record holder for the event, flashed across the finish line a scant two yards ahead of Dick Oram, former Union Cbl- lege star, who was very much in the race throughout. Chesley of Syracuse, favorite, hit the third and last hurdle in the final 100 meters and was passed ueccessively by Joe Sullivan of the Bos- v ton AL A nd Herb Myer of the Newark A The time, 54 8-10, was but a fraction behind the recognized world record. The pulled tendon, which has kept Vernon Ascher of Georgetown Univer- sity from recent competition. showed ho indication of that hurt when he raced a Drilliant_vietory in. the 400-meter ran. McDonald of Pennsylvania grab- bed the pols, and had a slight Jead at the outset, but Ascher was determined to set a pace that suited him. He fought #t out with McDonald for fifty vards. that young man and con- tinued in front to the tape. Schoolboy Athletic Stars. Schoolboy stars were among the sutstanding performers of the meet Besides thd work of Hussey and Goodwillie, the most notable feat was that of Sabine Car. high school pole vauiter, who won his event with the Brilliant mark of 12 feet 9 inches. Frank Kubel, Cedar Rapids, [owa, high school hurdler, placed fourth in the 110-meter timber-topping event, | while Moody of Medford, Mass., high sohool, leaped 6.feet 21t inches to Zain second place in the running high jump. Sterling races also were run by Jdoyd Hahn. Boston A. A, middle dis- tanoe crack, who won the 1,500-meter ovent by o brilliant olosing spurt from Jimmy Connolly, former inter- collegiate mile ohampion, and Larry Brown, former_Pennsylvania captain, Wwho won the S00-meter race handily in fast time. The distance races resulted in one- victories for Johnny Romig, | former Penn State star, at 5,000 meters: Johnny Gray of Philadelphia at 10,000 meters, and William Good- win.of New York at 3.000 meters. The ranks of ace winners was completed by Olyfapic officials who awarded - fourth place in_ the 800- , meter run to Jake Driscoll.

It was the case of too much pit heaving from his left side, and too ching by Joe Shaute, who does his much balking by Jazebel Zachry. who also puts the arm nearer his heart into his work.

At that, Zachary was unsteady from the start of hostilities, which may have gccounted for the scarcity of Indlan wallops. He apparently made %0 many efforts to keep the ball away from the war clubs of the Tribe that five free transportations to the first sack were accorded enemy batters. True, none of these franked athletes completed the circuit, but this liber- ality kept Jez in hot water most of the route. When the Indians were able to glus- ter clouts they got results. That they did in two frames—the fifth and the eighth—and in each instance Zach kindly followed with a balk. All told fifteen Inlians romped on the paths, all but two reaching them at Zach's expense. That more did not make round trips was due to a Lrio of sparkling double plays and a couple of other nifty fielding feats acom- plished by the pitcher's support. “Break” ‘Helvs the Indiams. Lady Luck, though, was not with the Nationals all the time, and her temporary desertion of their camp in the second inning probably provided the Tribe with their best “break” of the afternoon. Joe Judge, leading off in that frame, sooked the ball toward George Burns, but the drive was so hot that the first sacker was unable to handle it cleanly. With Judge sprinting toward the sack, Shaute ran over to cover first as Burns was retrieving the sphere. George finally grabbed the ball and made a hurried heave toward the base. but Judge, who had arrived safely, took the heave on the jaw. The blow apparently was as severe as a regular ring haymaker, and down went Joseph for the count Five minutes = of strenuous first-aid work revived Judge, but Mule Shir- ley had to replace him, and as fate | would have -it. it was this recruit | first sacker who later came to bat when the Nationals were offered their best chance to score against | Shaute. * That was. in the sixth session when - the _hassocks were crammed with none out. But Shirley was un- equal to the task that it is reason- able to suppose would have been bet- ter handled by the dangerous hitting Judge. When Muddy Ruel followed Shirley's infield fiy with a loft to short left that resulted in a two-ply killing, there was little doubt that the Nationals were through for-the day, even with three frames to go. Little Dotng in First Half. There was no decisive action in the first four frames, although both clubs aw the bases frequently. Goslin got a single with two gone in the opening rpund, only to die stealing, while thres ome-base wal- | lops, two comiing after a pair of Na- tionals had been retired, were wasted | in the second round. Goslin began | fcenter and scored when the fourth inning with a hit and was immediately caught off first base mainly because of his own carele: ness. Two passes to the Tribe in the first frame and a walk in the third were nullified by double plays, and in the fourth Ruel's gameness in blocking the plate prevented a theft of home by Jamieson. The Indian had reached first on Peck' error stolen second and moved to third ol Speaker's retirement. Peck's single in the National's half of the Afth went for naught, but the Tribe broke the ice when their batting turn came. Burns got a life wher his rap was poorly handled by Pro thro, and Luke Sewell sacrificed Zach' then balked Burns to third and the latter counted on Fewster's short ngle. Chick was nipped attempt- ing to Fteal, but Walters doubled to haute hit to right. Rice would have had good chance to throw for a play the plate on Walters, but fumble the catcher’s drive. However, error was charged against Sam. Then the Nationals had’ their rea scoring opportunity. Rice inaugu- rated the sixth frame with a singie into left field, and Matthews made = sacrificial bunt that was messed up by Shaute and the bases were led, but Shirley was ruled out for hitting _an infield fly, while Ruel lifted the ball ® Jamieson in short left. Rice tried to score after thc catch and was tossed out by yards Tribe Threatens im Sixth. The Tribe threatened to count in it half of the sixth, that Jamieson started with a triple over Matthews head, but Speaker fouled to Shirle: and Jamieson was run dewn on the home stretch after Joe Sewell rolled e. With two gone in the Na tionals' seventh, Bluege walked and got a scratch single, but Ric v Sy for Shaute. Fewster's fool- ish attempt to steal second offset his pass in the Indians’ seventh, and a double play discounted Matthews’ stroll in the Nationals' eighth. Zachary became balky again, how- ever, in the Tribe's last round and pushed the third run across for the enemy. Shaute walked to open the inning, put was doubled off when Peck speared McNulty’s liner. Jamie- son, though, singled and went to third when Speaker came through with « one-base clout.

C the club have suffered injuric: LEVELAKD, Ohio, June 7—This big town along Lake Erie seem- ingly holds a jinx for the National Probably more members of s or attacks of illness here than in any other city of the American League, not even excepting Washington the home of the outfit. A long list of casualties was charged against the Forest Gity before last season, t! hen came the accident that so hurt Ossie Blaege’s knee as to practicaily icapacitate him for the remainder of the campaign, a recurrence of Walter Johnson’s leg affection, the mumps attack of Sam Rice and Joe J ‘That the jinx still is in good work- ing order was revealed today when Judge was forved out of thé game in the second inning after he took a severe knock on the jaw from a ball thrown by George Burns. The wallop, while hard enough to put Joe out of action for the afternoon, would not have kept idle to- morrow, but a that de- veloped in his neck this morning, may do so. Just what the trouble is has not Dbeen ascertained, but Joe finds it ex- tremely uncomfortable to turn his head, and one certainly has to do a deal of that in base ball. So far the pain has been confined to the back of the neck, and Trainer Mike Martin {s making every effort to pre- vent it affecting the: player's arms, something that frequently happens in similar ‘cases. Judge's neck was paining him considerably tonight, but he will be in the line-up tomorrow if he possibly can get there. Griff's Pitehers Doing Weil, In the eight games played on for- eign fields by the Nationals imme- diately .before arriving in Cleveland the work of their pitchers was fully as fine as the heavy hitting that made the club the pace setter at batting for other aggregations in the Amer- ican League. The hurling corps, somewhat unsteady during the first six weeks of the championship cam- paign, performed brilliantly in the contests at Boston, Philadeiphia and Detroit to give the Nationals a record of six victories in eight starts. In_only one game, the first with the Red Sox on Memorial day, was there really poor slabbing. Even in the overtime contest dropped to the Tygers, the mound work was of good order, for with better play afield, the Nationals probably would have taken that game in the regulation number of innings. . A pleasing feature of the pitching of- forts is Walter Johnson's record thus far on the tour. The veteran in three starts has registered two victories and pitched through both of them. Il the game in_which he was relieved, credit for the National win went to his suc- cessor. Walter was much better against the Athletics in his second start of the trip than against the Red Sox in the holiday double bill at Boston, and still stronger against. the Tygers Friday. Right now he appears (o be in far bet- ter form, physically and artistically, than at this stage of the campalgn last year. An’ unexpected "development of the tour has been the' ability revealed by udge’s tonsilitis case. Fred Marberry in the relief role. Rushed into three engagements when siabmates faltered, this husky youngster has twice checked rallies, and in the one loss charged against him was partially th | victim of some careless play in the out fleld. With Allen Russell seemingly un able to get his hurling arm into proper condition to resume the rescue job he took care of so effectually last vear. Marberry probably will have to carry the burden at least during the remainder of the trip. He is a strong boy. though. and ought fo withstand the strain of frequent long “warm ups” that go with the job of the relief worker. Warren Ogden, who shares with John- son the top place in the winning per centages on the present road jaunt, has uncovered enough to warrant his selec- tion as a regular turn member of the mound staff. Manager Harris now counts upon using_the Mack cast-off with Jez Zachary, Walter McGrew and Johnson in order, unless George Mo- gridge_and Joe Martina soon recover from hurling-arm_ailments. Inclement weather seems (o have affected the vet eran recruit Martina considerably, while Mogridge's shoulder muscles have been troubling him. Walter McGrew probably will toc the slab for the Nationals tomorrow afternoon. Metevier may do the hurling -for the Indians. Manager Harris and Nick Altrock were given the gate by the umpires today. Rowland put Nick out for kicking about a decision against G lin in the fourth, while the pilot pro- tested Hildebrand’s judgment ~on Zachary in the fifth too vigorously to suit the arbiter.
