N W YORK, February 21.—Edward Kirby, former Cornell star now carrying the colors of the Newark Athletic Club, flashed to bril- liant victory -in the 1000-yard run, one of the features of the Metropolitan senior A. A. U. championships tonight at the 102d Engineers Armory. Kirby's time was 2:19. An upset marked the final of the 60-yard dash Olympic_200. yard by his clubmate, Larry Rawlings. of the New York A. C. when Jackson Scholz neter champion, was beaten by a Scholz was off to a slow start and his closing rush was not fast_cnough to catch the fiying Rawlings, who coyered the distance in 6 4-5 seconds. Willie ~ Plant, premier American walker, scored a hollow victory his nineteenth season; Stanley Covel- eskie, 33, and a veteran on the mound Vean Gregg, 40, recalled for a come- back when it was apparently destined that Barney was not to be a Natlonal again; Joe Martina, who has been pitch- ing ball for 12 of his 35 vears; Allen Russell, another whose big-league exi perience, if not his years, rightly earns a place for him on the rofh of the vet- erans, are the pifchers who must be listed among the more or less uncertain quantities for future mound duty. Fred Marberry, 23, and Curley Ogden, 26, are the only right-handers outside of the rookles who are under 30, the big-league danger mark, as far as hurlers go. And so it would seem that youthful right-handers with enough “stuff” to get them by in fast company would have a good chance of sticking. Hard-Working Youths.” Both Kelly and Dudley are quiet, hard-working chaps, Bwho are tak ing their work serioudly. Kelly's 14| wins against 7 defeats for the Mem- phis pennant-winning team, would stamp him as a likely candidate. Reference to the manner in which | these two rookies go about their| work brings to mind the fact that the squad at Tampa contains none of the noisy, kidding “bushers” usually prevalent. True, there are nét many newcomers up this Spring, but all of those endeavoring to earn a place with the world champions are plod- ding-along in a praiseworthy manner. This condition did not exist last season. There were several typical “fresh bushers” up for trial. They dld not last. They seldom do. "Ball players usually pick them- selves out,” sald Clark Griffith, dis- cussing this phase of training camp activities. “Put a squad of rookies together, along with the veterans, for a month in a community house: let them have more or less free sway as far as their general conduct is con- cerned. They will do thelr own classification work. ‘Those with the poise and conduet, which is just as necessary as physi- cal ability, will establish themselves as worthy in this time. - The sulker, the know-it-all, the breaker of rules—these, too, will readily fix their own status. And then the rest is easy for those who control the desti- nies of a ball club.” GIBBONS ASKS BIG CUT FOR FIGHT-WITH WILLS ST.

He failed, however, in an attempt to clip the world record, finishing 20 seconds behind the mark of 0:28 held by George Goulding of Canada. Although the club’'s star Swedish hurdler, /Carl Christiernson, was not eligible to compete because he rep- resented his native land in the 1924 Olympics, the Newark A. C. nearly scored a clean sweep in the 60-yard high hurdles, capturing the first three places. Herb Meyer, national outdoor 220-yard champion, broke the tape inches ahead of his clubmate, Tom Farrell, with George Stoll- werck third. g The eleventh-hour decision of the A. A. U. championship committee which barred Christiernson from the hurdles also resulted in the elimina- in jican star, tion of Willie Ritola, Finnish-Amer- from the fleld for the 2- mille run. Ritola competed for Fin- land in the Olymplcs last summier. The decision was made after pro- test was filed by the New York A. C., which contended that Christiern- son and Ritola not only had com- peted for their native lands in the Olymples, but were ineligible also because they are not American citi- zens. So hastily was the ruling made that Mike Fekete, who competed for Hungary in the Olympics, engaged in the mile walk before it was an- nounced. Ugo' Frigerio, Italian walker, who holds the- Olympic title, captured the 4-mile special walk - after -the event was enlivened by 'a series of disputes, one of which involved the elimination of Phillip Granville, Canadian negro star, and the Italian's closest rival.

OWN MARK BROKEN ‘BY GIRL SWIMMER TAMPA, Fla, February 21.—The breaking of one national record and fast time in other events featured the opening day of the two-day women's swimming meet at Temple Terrace today. Agnes Geraghty lowered her own record by 10 seconds in the 200-meter breast stroke handicap, covering the distance in 2 minutes 24 3-5 seconds. Her former mark was made at @range, IN. J. last vear. The record here started at scratch with Miss Carin Niljson, having one second handicap and Miss Eleanor Coleman having an eight second start. It was a battle all the way between the two leaders with Miss Geraghty holding a slight lead after the first two laps. Another record was in danger of being shattered when Ethel Lackie swam the 50-yard free style in 281-5 seconds. This was only 1-5 of a second slower than the record held by Lilly Bowmer of Honolulu. She won from the national champion, Eleanor Gerrati, who came in second only 1-5 of a second behind. Carin Nilison, champion swimmer, in the 150-yard medley event, win- ning by a small margin from Miss Adelaide Lambert, when she came from behind after the first lap and took the lead, finishing strong. The time was 23-5. Miss Ethel Lackey proved her superiority over Miss Doris O'Mara in the 100-yard back stroke, winning that event in 1:20, with Miss Frances Clarke finishing third. The 220-yard free style was a bat- tle between Misses Martha Norelius, Ethel ‘MoGary and Margaret Ravior, finishing in the order named.

NEW MARKS ACCREDITED TO HAHN AND HELFFRICH Lower Times for 1,500 and 800 Meters, Respec- tively, While Burgress of Hilltoppers Ties Figures for 400—Games Are Big Success. BY JOHN B. KELLER. South Atlantic time bettered race. The draftsman of Abo left th Penn State and shey han Penn State athlete. James Burgess of Georgetown tied a world record when he ran over the 400-meter route in 51 seconds The mark was originally made by Jake Driscoll of Boston Athletic As- sociation, who was one opponents in the race last night Record for Gaffey. Another Georgetown man _broke into the record class in the 150-yatd invitation race. Andy Gaffey was sent against Louis Clarke, former Johns Hopkins star, in the event, and won in 16 seconds, bettering by a fifth of a second the old South At- lantic mark. Although the nearly 5,000 spectators were eager to see Nurmi in action they were well entertained while waliting for the flying Finn to put in his appearance. The best of the contests offered them was that in which Hahn was opposed to Joie Ray, doughty little Illinois Athletic Club speeder, and Jimmy Connolly, former Georgetown runner. This trio staged a magnificent 1.500-meter race Connolly made himself pacemaker | at the outset of the race and main- tained the lead about a third of the way. Then the chiesty Ray stepped to the front with Hahn right at Con- nolly’s heels. Ray stiffened the pace and Connolly fell back, but Hahn re- | fused to be shaken off by the Chi- | cagoan. Ray increased his stride a trifie, but Hahn did the same. In the backstretch of the lap before the last, the Boston man overhauled the Chicagoan and rushed on to the finish to win over Ray by 5 rards. Ray crossed the line about 40 vards ahead of Connolly. Marsters Presses Helffrich. George Masters, Georgetown man, rated as the best 1,000-vard runner of the country, and Helffrich staged | a great duel in the 800-meter special. { This pair and Mike Devanney of the Millrose A. A. of New York were the only starters, but Devanney never figured In the race after the first two rounds of the 12-lap track. He was | hopelessly outclassed by the George- |town and Penn State speed mer- chants. Marsters took the lead at the gun and burned his way around the course at a dizzy pace. Helffrich, though, never let.the Georgetown man get far ahead. About a‘’lap and a half from the finish Helffrich began to chal- lenge Marsters seriously and with less than 200 yards to go he drew abreast of Marsters. George fought gamely, but the pace of the Penn State athlete proved too spirited for the Georgetown representative and Helffrich went on to win with a three- yard margin at the end of the 800 meters. Both Helffrich and Marsters con- tinued tHe race to the 8§80-yard mark and Heiffrich was credited with a time of 1 minute 55 seconds for the half-mile. This time may be recognized as a rec- ord for-the distance indoors, although it has been beaten by Marsters when running a leg of a relay race. How- ever, some meet officials claim it is the best recorded in an actual half- mile race. Burgess made the going all the G. U.

He turned his first quarter- mile in 63 seconds, but did not hold to that pace for a length of time thereafter. He frequently checked hi elf by a watch, and at times quickened his stride, but generally he traveled at a steady galt Paavo caught Booth after running 15 of the 20 laps of the race, and finished in 7 minutes 46 2-5 seconds, practically a 1ap ahead of the Milirose man.
