Competing with the fastest fi eld ever brought together in an, American meet, this smiling Buckeye streaked down the 100-yard | stretch in the national collegiate track and field championship meet | on Stagg Field today in 9 2-5 seconds, clipping one-fifth of a second | from the officially recognized world’s mark 1 Simpson's prilliant performance, aided by his ttammates, enabled | Ohio State to triumph for the team championship henors | The Buckeyes, winning 4 of others, amassed a total of 50 poin ington second, with 42. Illinois, winner of the Big Ten with 3515, the University of Southern California fourth with 32, and Stanford; winner of the intercolleg fifth with 28. Forty-six of the 85 Simpson, in his startling victory, de- feated the famous Claude Bracey, the Dixie Flyer from Rice Institute, and | Eddie Tolan, sensational Negro sprinter | from the University of Michigan. who, | fwice within two weeks. had run the century in 9.5 seconds. The frail appearing Buckeye established himself as the outstanding sprinter of the world | by his remarkable performance. ! Simpson Leads From Start. | Simpson, putting his heart and soul into every step of the race and running with machine-like smoothness, beat Bracey to the tape by a stride in a | heart-breaking finish. Tolan was third, about & feet behind Bracey. The Wol- | verine Negro got away to a poor start was trailing sixth at the half-way mark. | but finished with a remarkable burst of speed. Simpson got away from the | mark like a shot and led from start to finish, with Bracey snapping at his heels | Officials said there could be no ques- tion as to the acceptance of his record. He was timed by five watches. Two of | the timers caught him in 9.3 and three clicked 9.4. Engineers immedi- ately measured the track and found it measured 100 yards and 1 inch Conditions were almost perfect for Simpson's record-breaking performance. The track was dry and fast. There was no breeze to aid him in his flight; instead there was a moderate wind blowing across- the course. Simpsol who_began his track career as a bo; in Columbus, when the high school coach yanked him out of a crowd and told him to run. was the highest indi- vidual point winner of the meet, scoring 20. | " After his world record breaking per- | formance in the century he came back to defeat virtually the same field in winning the.3220-yard dash in 208 seconds. seftmg @ new meet record This time Tolah finished second. with Bracey third.

There seemed no reason for |1t to be otherwise. The Babe, éxcept for some slight shakiness due to nearly a week’s confinement, has lost none of his ruddy color, his good spirits and back in the game.

It is somewhat indefinite, but here's what he says about that: 1 ought to be back in there soon. Believe me, I'm going to be in there | before that series with the Athletics that starts at the stadium on June 21. “The Doc (Dr. E. A. King) thinks I'll be O. K. by then, but he says, first, that I should go away from the city for three or four days for a change of scenery: then, even when I get back, he demands that I stay out of exhibition games and do not play in complete double headers, and the club officials he’s the boss.'” Somebody suggested it would be a good thing for Ruth to go off to the woods for an outdoor tonic. “Well I want to be familiar with joined.

Ruth was somewhat emphatic about this exhibition game business. “I,think the club ought to give me | a iittle more consideration, clared. “The regular games take a lot | out of me, but these exhibition games almost ruin me. I play just as hard in them, if not harder, than other times because the crowd is all shouting for me. They want me to pitch and autograph 200 or 300 base balls. Then about 40 kids will pile up on top of me. In a case like that there ain’t any- thing to do but wait until they get off. T've been nearly killed in some of those riots. They guarantee police protection and then the cops just stand around and laugh while I get mobbed.” Ruth is not on a diet, so far as food is concerned, he said. but Dr. King has banned tobacco for the time being. “Imagine playing a ball game with- out_a chew!" scoffed the Babe. “But believe me I'm going to take care of myself from now on. I've done a lot of foolish things in the past 15 years.

BY JOHN B. KELLER. IB league base ball must do its recruiting on the sandiots and in the colleges instead of looking to the minor circuits for re- plenishment in the future. thinks Walter Johnson, manager of the Nationals. Talent in the bud must be procured at these sources and carefully schooled in clubs fully controlled by the major | organization it is expected to serve after its worth is proved, the pilot | contends, if the major organization would get the most from the heavy expenditure made for the maintenance of a high-class club. The Washington manager unburdened himself of these ideas yesterday afternoon during a talkfest in the clubhouse after the scheduled game between the Nationals and Tigers was called off be- | cause of the inclement weather. Purchase of the Atlanta franchi by the Washington owners was being discussed when Walter opined the acquisition of franchises in one or two leagues of lower classifica- tion than the Southern association still may be necessary before the Nationals can establish an efficient schooling system for prospective members. ; “The old ‘farming’ plan has BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS gone from the game.” declared Johnson. “The big league clubs no longer are content to ship sur- plus material to some minor league club where the develop- ment of its property will be con- ducted as the minor club sees fit. Now the big league club wants its prospective players trained ac- cording to its own ideas and this necessitates full control of the ciuk or clubs handling the players. “And so many of the big league clubs have adopted this system to such an etxent that one not controlling several minor cutfits is pretty well out of luck when it tries to get first-class material, | 1 know this from personal experience. 41112 278331750 | Within the past month I have received 8t._Louis 7771 3 81 21281191.596 | from friends tips on several players New York {1737 8135181581 | supposed to be ready for big league Detrait i trials.
