Kenneth Myers Victor in Singles. Harvard Crew Defeated. By the Assoclated Pres OLYMPIC STADIUM, Amstérdam, August 2—American athletes today ex- perienced the most disastrous day of the Olympic track and field competi- tion thus far, when they were unable to gain a single championship of the four decided. ‘The 1,500-meter running crown went to Harry Larva of Finland, with the only American who qualified for the final, Ray Conger, no better than tenth; the running hop, step and jump title to Mikio Oda of Japan, with Levi Casey, United States veteran, second, and the 800-meter race for women to Frau Lina Radke of Germany, with Florence Mac- donald of Boston, lone American sur- vivor, sixth; while all four of the United States javelin throwers were eliminated under a burst of remarkable perform- ances by foreign stars. Olympic championship in the javelin throw went to E. H. Lundquist of Sweden, who replaced as champion Jonni Myrra of Finland. Although the United States today added only 5 points to its lead in totals for the games thus far, it still holds a commanding lead with 128'> points. Finland moved up to second place with 48 points, displacing Britain, which had a total of 37 after teday’s events. American in 400-Meter Finals. ‘The one ray of sunshine came in the 400-meter trials in which Ray Barbuti, former Syracuse quarter-mile ace, won both his trial heats and as a result be- came a joint favorite with the German, Joachim Buchner, who also made sen- sational time, for the championship tomorrow. Herman Phillips of the Illinois A. C., like Barbuti, won both of his heats to- day and will share with the erstwhile Syracuse foot ball player the assign- ment of carrying Uncle Sam’s colors against the best quarter-milers in the rest of the world tomorrow. The other two American representatives, Joe Tier- ney and Euil Snider, were eliminated in their second trial heats. “Three New Records Set. Three of the four championships were won with record-breaking performances. | & Larva cll‘)ped 2-5 second off Paavo Nurmi's Olympic record for 1,500 meters in 3:53 1-5. Lundquist beat the Olympic javelin throw mark by 2 feet 8 3-8 inches with his heave of 218 feet 61-8 inches, and Frau cut more than seven seconds off her own world record for 800 meters when she traveled the distance in the sensational time of 2:164-5. Frau Radke, after traveling at this fast pace for a woman, was barely able to withstand a closing rush by the ‘strong Japanese runner, Miss Kinuye Hitomi, who failed by only 2 yards to close the gap between her and the Ger- man., The pace was so fast that all six point winners were inside the. for- mer world record, Miss MacDonald be- ing timed at 2:23 2-5, which is 2-5 sec- onds better than the record. Mikio Oda of Japan won the cham- pionship in the hop, step and jump, with Levi Casey of the United States d. second. Oda’s winning performance was 15.21 meters, or 40 feet 1013-16 inches. Casey, the runner-up, did 15.17 meters, or 49 feet 9 21-128 inches. Conger Runs Poor Race. Cdnger was never & contender in the field of 12 starters in the 1,500-meter race. The slender American from the Tllinois A. C. had no finishing spurt and was nearly 100 meters behind the winner, Larva's dash from behind to nip Ladoumegue was perfectly timed {after Eino Porje of Finland had set the pace most of the last two laps. Perfect team work won for the Finnish | pair. ‘The Frenchman looked to have | the race clinched rounding the last turn with a lead of 10 yards, but he started his sprint too early and fal- tered when nearing the tape, Larva beating him by 3 yards. Larva’s victory reasserted the su- premacy of the Finns at this distance, as this champlonship was one of the four won by Paavo Nurmi in 1924, It also marked another setback for the Americans in races on the flat. The beautifully worked out racing of the Finnish flyers demonstrated why Nurmi was not needed to keep su- premacy in this event in the north country. The first series of Olympic six-meter yacht races was won today by Norway with Sweden second and the United States third in a field of 13 entries. | U. S.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. NEW YORK, August 2.—Conservative estimates by veteran campaigners now place the probable total that will be spent in the presidential campaign at well above $12,000,000. The Republican national committee has called for a budget of $4,000,000. This will be matched by the Democrats. Thus a total of at least $8,000,000 will be spent by the two national com- mittees. Total High. Then there are the State organiza- tions which will spend their money directly for State tickets, but much of it will go for the benefit of the national nom! wing only $2,000;000 in Allo each case for the the total is quickly brought to the $12,- 000,000 mark. It must be remembered, however, that are al! orghn! and clubs pendent of either national or State committees. A Smith-for- President Club business men of a Hoover-for-] - dent organization consisting of Demo- crats will be formed resfiuvely in many cities. These organizations are no means developed to evade respon- sibility on the part of the major na- tional committees, but to permit voters to express their preference and con- tribute money to a political mechanism which is distinctly personal and does party. Several of these clubs will spend in the neighborhood of §2,000,000 from coast to coast in the interest of both candidates. Entirely apart from all these personal admiration organizations are those which are based on some principle or issue, as the Anti-Saloon League and affiliated church organiza- tions. It is estimated that at least an- other million dollars will be spent by such institutions, so that a campaign fund reaching $15,000,000 is not im- possible, though $12,000,000 is being ac- cepted as more probable. Cox Charges Correct. Gov. Cox of Ohio charged in 1920 that a campaign fund of more than $10,- 000,000 was being raised to elect Hard- ing and he felt then that his figures were conservative. Subsequent develop- ments showed that he was more nearly right than were his eritics. In spite of those charges, however, the Republicans have been uniformly successful and the Democrats therefore are taking it for granted that public sentiment does not cdisapprove large campaign funds. The Democrats are hopl.ra to match dollar for dollar any Republican expenditures, | Rivera Announces He Will Sign | Anti-War Treaty in Paris This Month. - By the Assaciated Press.

Disclosure of American willingness to participate in a renewal of the prelim- inary arms conference on the basis of the Franco-British understanding meets fears expressed in Paris that the Wash- ington Government might find difficulty in such action because of the cruiser dispute with Great Britain at the time of the abortive three-power naval limi- tations conference. It can be taken for granted that study of the Franco-Brit- ish project has satisfied Washington officials already that it does not touch the to the American position with regard to ships of the 10,000-ton class as set jout at the three-power conference. ‘The fundamental change in the naval limitations situation created by the PFranco-British understanding, as Wash- ington officials see it, lies in the not involve affiliation with a political | composed of Republican | forthcoming year. them by bureau officials before him,| bilities it presents for adoption of a policy under which limitations could be Gen.
