Mark—Cardinals’ Total of 4534 Is Sensational. Edward BY ALAN J. GOULD, Associated Press RANKLIN FIELD, Philadelphi: performances, o climax today as Stanford Universit Yyear in a row. The Cardinals from Palo Alto, not only gave the Far West its eighth triumph over a span of nine s. but did it by the most overwhelming margin in 30 years. Not since 1899, when Pennsylvania's great team won with a beating its nearest rival by 29 points. has year: Stanford. : Stanford scored exactly 45% points, tallying in nine of the 15 events. This more than doubled the count of the nearest Cardinal rival, Southern California, which tallied 21 points and _thereby added to the rout of the East. Pennsylvania finished third with 1873 points, New York Uni- versity fourth with 14, and Yale fifth with 133. California, the third contender from the Pacific Coast, finished in a tie with Pitts- burgh for sixth place with 11 points. Except that its proportions exceeded even the rosiest expectations, there was nothing startling or unexpected in the team victory for Stanford, but there were plenty of record-breaking thrills in one of the greatest competitive carnivals in the half-century history of the East’s blue ribbon meet. To Phil Edwards, the dusky N. Y. U. fiyer and Canadian Olympic star, went the main honors as he spread-eagled his field in the half-mile run. In de- fending his title successfully Edwards ot only shattered the 14-year-old meet Tecord of the famous Ted Meredith, set at 1:33 in 1915, but also equaled Meredith’s American outdoor record of 1:52 1-5, made in 1916, and was only three-fifths of a second behind the world record of 1:51 3-5, made by Dr. Otto Peltzer of Germany at London in_1926. Edwards was primed for the greatest race of his career and did it, as a crowd of 15,000 spectators cheered him on. Running the first 440 yards in less than 55 seconds, Edwards was 30 yards in front of his teammate, Fred Veit. Going into the last lap, it appeared the slim but beautifully-striding Negro had set off at too fast a pace. He seemed to slow down rounding the last turn, but had enough left to finish fast, breaking the tape 25 yards in front of his nearest rival, Chapman of Bates, with Veit third. Hill Sets Jump Mark. The Far West took its share of the record-busting honors when Jesse Hill of Southern California broad jumped to a new meet mark of 25 feet % inch, while Harlow Rothert of Stanford Clinched the shotput title with the toss of 50 feet 3 inches, which he made in the trials yesterday and which was good enough to beat his teammate, Eric Krenz, the 1928 champion. Krenz made a gallant effort to overcome his rival, but his toss of 50 feet 3% inch was good only for second place. Another long-standing record was toppled when Jimmy Reld, Harvard ceptain, came from behind to win for the second straight year in 9 minutes 22 second. This barely displaced the record cf 9:222-5, made by Ivan Dres- ser of Cornell in 1919. A fitth record was battered when Sid Kieselhorst of Yale, retaining the title, won the 220-yard low hurdles in 23 3-10 seconds, 3-10 of a second better than the mark zet in 1898 by A. C. Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania. Because of the stiff wind at his back, however, Kieselhorst's mark was ruled out. Several other records were threat- ened. Eric Krenz, retaining one of the two crowns he wore last year, came close to his own mark in 'the’ discus when he hurled the winning throw of 153 feet 4 inches. Three pole vaulters attacked the world record of 14 feet, made by Sabin Carr of Yale two years ago, but all failed and finished in a first place tie at 13 feet 9 inches. The trio consisted of Ward Edmonds of Stanford, Jack Willlams of Southern California and Fred Sturdy of Yale. Leo Kirby of Stanford was just short of the javelin record when he won with 204 feet 7 inches. Stanford’s Big Three. Stanford captured three first places and tied for a fourth through the in- dividual efforts of Rothert, Krenz, Ed- monds and Kirby. This quartet alone collected 25 points, enough to win the meet. Altogether nine of Stanford's starting squad of 14 athletes figured in the scoring. “Hec” Dyer, the sophomore sprinter, was twice only a few steps short of the fame that goes to sprint champions. He contributed eight of the Cardinal points by finish- ing second fo Karl Wildermuth of Georgetown In the 100-yard dash and rangy Stanford Intercollegiate Summaries 100-YARD DASH—Won by Karl Wilder- muth | (Georgetown): second.

Pennsylvania, aided by the fine work of Barney Berlinger in the shotput and high jump, led the Eastern teams, but New York University furnished two of the most sensational winners in Ed- wards and Joe Hickey, red-headed mile champion, who uncorked a terrific spurt to cut down the favorite, George Offenhauser of Penn State, in the stretch.

Ralph Metcalfe, sensational 18-year- old Negro sprinter from Tilden Tech, Chicago, tied the world records in win- ning both the 100 and 220 yard dashes. He stepped the century in 0:09 8-10 and captured the 220 in 0:212-10. Metcalfe, with Keller, were high in individual point scoring, each register- ing 20 by their double victories. New records for the meet were es- tablished in the discus, 440-yard run, shotput and half-mile relay. William Moreau of Fort Collins, Colo., heaved the discus 136 feet 11 inches, to break the record by 6 inches which Arlie Mucks of Oshkosh, Wis,, made in 1911. Irving FPuqua of Brazil, Ind, won the first section of the 440 in 0:494-10, clipping 8-10 of a second off the record. Elwin Dees of Lorraine, S, ac- counted for a meet record in the shot with a toss of 56 feet 7 inches, while a quartet of runners from Central High, Columbus, smashed the meet record for the half-mile relay, reeling it off in 1:327-10, 3-10 of a second faster than the old record made by Northeastern High, Detroit, in 1927, By the Associated Press. HICAGO, June 1.—A world’s record went tumbling, three world performances were equaled, and four marks for the meet were cracked as 900 athletes from 30 States finished com‘}:etltlon in the Uni- versity of Chicago’s twenty-fifth national interscholastic track and field championship meet today. Jack Keller of East High, Columbus, Ohlo, after tying the world record of 0:152-10 in the 120-yard high hurdles, came back to smash the world mark in the 220-yard low hurdles by scissor- ing his way over the barriers in 0:24. This performance clipped two-tenths of a second off the old record hung up by Eugene Beatty, Northeastern High of Detroit, in 1927. Froebel Wins Meet. Athletes from Froebel High of Gary, i Ind., captured the meet by scoring 422 points, with Arsenal High of Indianap- olis, Ind., second, with 28.

MYER’S STREAK ENDED BY BROWNS’ HURLERS It was ended yesterday. Walter Stewart and Ed Strelecki, hurling for the Browns, applied the brake to Buddy Myer's consecutive-game hitting streak. In five trips to the plate, the best Buddy got was nothing more than two free tickets to first base. But 24 games in a row with hits in each was a long streak, at that, so Buddy has nothing to_bother about. Myer drew a pass yesterday the first time he faced Stewart. The next three times he batted against the left-hand- er he lofted to Fred Schulte in center. He walked the only time he faced Strelecki. = \ Joe Cronin raised his consecutive- game hitting streak to 14 games, how- ever. He got two singles and a triple off Stewart. Quite a day! Rice made a nifty theft of second base in the opening inning while Stew- art tried to think what to do with the ball. Finally, when Sam was well on the way to the middle the pitcher hurled to Blue to prevent a balk being called and Rice slid in safely under | plate almost as soon as Buddy |to the ball for a play on the bunter. TWO LAST-ROUND SCORES UPSET NATIONALS, 5 TO 4 Marberry, Relieving Burke, Is Hit for Loss After Judge’s Homer in Eighth Gains Lead—Griffs Chase Stewart, Outhitting Enemy. BY JOHXN R KELLER. FTER battling valiantly to overcome an enemy advantage, the Nationals proved unable to Withstand the Browns’ final thrust and were repulsed, 5 to 4, yesterday in the engagement that marked the start of the first invasicn of Griffith Stadium by Twice the Nationals were in the van, stepping out for a run in the lead again when Capt. Joe Judge a home: over the right field wall. niath 1o register two in jig Again the Johnson bunch learned that it's not how many hits counts. The Nationals outhit the owns g¢t much better results with als got *rom a like number. Ne¥Per Bob Burke nor Walter Ste?sft finished the southpaw slaboing duel they started. Stewart was first to leave the field, being lifted in the eighth after Judge smote his homer and Jack Hayes connected for a double. Burke de- parted in the ninth after Blackie O'Rourke, starting the inning for the Browns, singled. Stewart had been nicked for all the Washington hits and runs before he was yanked. He also had issued four passes, only one of which helped the hcme crowd. Burke yielded seven hits and three passes. He also struck out five batters, but he was unfortunate in having hits off him bunched for runs in one inning and also in having a telling St. Louis smash follow an error by Joe Cronin, the only misplay of the fray. Burke really was impressive all the way. Marberry Charged With Loss. ‘The successors of these left-handers, Fd Strelecki and Fred Marberry, be- ceme the winner and loser of the prstiming. Strelecki assumed the Browns’ mound burden in the eighth with a National on second and none out and gave the home side nothing more than a base on balls. He then gave way to a pinch-batter, so Al Crovider hurled the ninth after the Browhs had damaged Marberry and dispo®ed of the Nationals in order. It ®was O'Rourke’s single in the ninth that started the repulse of the Nation- als. After walloping Blackie yielded to Pinch- aner Earl McNeely and Man- ager Howley sent the right-hand swing- ing Ritk Ferrell up to bat for Oscar ‘When Johnson countered by rushiny Marberry to the hill, Howley withdre¥ Ferrell and substituted the left-han$ hitting Jenkins. And Jenkins whiffed. Red KYess did better, though. He socked the ball to deep center and when Ita Flagstead failed to make good with 2 one-hand stab the sock became & triple that tallied McNeely with a tying run. Thel Otis Brannon grabbed Strelecki’s Bat and a perfect squeeze play followed. Kress was fll: 8o With this the Browns copped the game. The St. Leuis attack started brisky, Blue opening the first inning with a single. But stcond base was as far as Lu got during the round. The Na- tionals fared better. Myer walked only to be forced ovt by Rice. Sam swiped sscond before Goslin hoisted to Manush and tallied when Flagstead hit through Biue for a base. Flaggy tried to make his blow a double, but was nipped when Blue recovered the ball quickly and threw to Kress. Browns Forge Ahead. There was no more scoring until the fifth and then it was the Browns who made the runs. Schang walked at the outset of the frame and crossed when O'Rourke crashed a two-bagger to left near the line. Melillo’s intended sacri- fice bunt was only a pop to Burke, but Kress walked and after Stewart skied to Goslin a looper: from Blue's bat landed in short left for a single tallying O'Rourke. Cronin started back for Blue's hit and it looked as though he would get under it when he stopped running suddenly to let Goslin charge in when the Goose had no chance in the world to get to the ball. It was Cronin’s fumble of O'Rourke's tap that paved the way to the Browns’ third run. The error came at the start of the seventh inning and was followed by Melillo’s bunted sacrifice and Kress’ double.

Joe tried to make a homer of the blow when Coach Milan waved him on from third base, but was caught easily at the plate by Melillo's relay of Schulte’s throw. The Browns nearly broke the tie in the eighth, only a great peg by Hayes stopping them. Manush walked with one man out and following Schulte’s re- tirement the visitors put on the hit- and-run. Schang made good with a single, but Hayes, receiving the ball from Flagstead, got it to Ruel in the nick of time. Blue's relay to Kress. Judge's homer was fair by about a foot only. It looped lazily over the right-fleld wall with Right-fielder Mc- Gowan stretching his neck to watch the sphere’s flight.
