i SP ORTS. _THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, TUESDAY JUNE 11~ 1929. STORTS. Athletes of East Losing Prestige: 9 2-5 Mark for “100” May Not Last Long IBAD WEATHER ALIBI FAILS AS MIDDLE WEST SCORES 'Coast Climate Bogey Is Routed in National Col-| legiates—Sports World Suffers Loss in Death of Ernie Cozens BY WALTER of Pennsylvania. TRUMBULL. HE East has been comforting itself with the thought that it %s the California climate, whi sport, rather than the Cali ch permits 12 months of outdoor fornia athletes, that accounts for the supremacy of Pacific Coast colleges,in track meets. That alibi is not as good as it was. admit that the Middle West also has a superior climate. Yet it was | the Middle West which stopped California in the National Collegiates | at Chicago last Saturday. Ohio State certainly finished first, with Southern California | fourth and Stanford’s three-man Surely the East does not team no better than fifth. It is true that this trio took one first and tied for another, and also got a second and a fifth. It also is true that Washington finished second in the meet, but nobody can accuse Washington of profiting by warm Winters. I see small reason to doubt the time eredited to George Simpson. Any man who leads Bracey, Tolan, Leland and Elder to the tape in the 100 is likely to be traveling fast. To my mind Simp- son has been the best sprinter in the country all season, and one of the best who ever lived. Here is a man who can | run a 100, 220 or 440 in record time , and if he desired it's probable he could be a great 880 or mile man. Lloyd | Hahn started as a sprinter. Simpson | i8 just naturally a great runner. Every man who won an event in this | National, Collegiate meet grasped vic- tory against sturdy competition. Wal- )ur of Northwestern beat Willlamson, ! Bowen and Brown in the quart Genung of Washington trimmed Gist, | White and Letts in the half. Getz of Alfred won from Martin and Kiser in | the mile. Rothert of Stanford defeated F-renz, Behr and Jessup in the shotput, and ( Rasmus of Ohio won a discus_event | trom Moeller, Anderson, Jessup, Beattie and Krenz. Four men went 13 feet 6 inches or better in the pole vault. Gordon of Iowa again proved that Negroes are great broad jumpers. Gourdin of Harvard and Dehart Hub- bard of Michigan proved it some time ! ago. Robeson, Pollard and Slater in foot ball and Edwards, Drew, Tolan + and Foster on the track are others who have demonstrated what their race could accomplish in amateur sport. ! It is becoming clearer every day that no field record, with the exception of ' the hammer throw, and no track record up to the mile is ‘altogether safe from ' our college athletes of today. Not alone collegiate sport, but sport in general, suffered a cruel blow in the death of Ernest B. Cozens, graduate manager of the University of Penn- sylvania. A great athlete himself, Cozens loved all games of competitive recreation. He was a natural leader of men, and his influence over youth always was large and fine. Ernie Cozens always held the loyalty and affection of his friends and the re- spect of his opponents. With his d parture for that unknown country, a sportsman and a gentleman will be | missing from the game. | The leading clubs in the American League have kept their relative posi- tions fairly well, although it is notice- | 8ble that New York has improved lll club batting ¥ comparison with | rivals. Wi has done a Hltle better, and Boston still looks to have last place cinched. Foxx of the Ath- 1 letics still leads in hitting, and Cochrane and Simmons still are among the first five, but Lazzeri and Rice have dis- placed Kamm and Jamieson. In the National League Pittsburgh has gone to the front and New York hnl come 2 fast. Philadelohia has ‘ and Brooklyn has been hltling the chutes. O'Doul, Hendrick | and Stephenson still are among the five lead batsmen. Frederick and Klein have ped back a little, and Terry | and Herman are now among the leaders. It looks like a hot race in both leagues.

FFICIALS of the South At- lantic track and field cham- plonships today hopefully awaited a reply from Claude Bracey, famous Rice Institute sprinter, to an invitation extended him to compete in their 100-yard feature Saturday, in Central Stadium. Bracey is in New York. George Simpson, the Ohio State phenom who recently ran the century in the world record time of 92-5 sec- onds, and Pete Bowen, Pittsburgh Uni- versity star, already are in line for the race, although there is a possibility Slmpwn may withdraw because of an' injury. Simpson was hurt in winning the 220-yard race in the national col- legiate meet Saturday at Chicago, after he had dashed off the record century. Simpson’s trainer, Frank R. Cassell- man, has wired Winfree Johnson, sec- retary of the South Atlantic games committee, that he will not determine until Thursday whether Simpson will be permitted to race here. Until Saturday Bracey generally was considered the master of Simpson. He heid several decisions over the Ohio State youth. But Simpson’'s remark- lble Derformlnce Saturday, with Bracey hing second, elevated his standing. Utmon pains are being taken to get Simpson in shape for the South At- lantic race, Cassellman has wired John- d should George and Claude, speak-of Bowen, hook up under proper conditions, the most senstational dash in the hl-swr’ of track athletics here would be a probability. Bracey has run 100 yards in its | seconds, foo but with the aid of wind. He has done 9% wlthnut & breeze. He was rated No. 1 in the “100” and “220” last year by the A A U BERG, BRITISH SCRAPPER, FIGHTS LOAYZA TONIGHT | Wity .NEW YORK, June 1M (#)—Jack “Kid” Berg of England, latest sensation in the lightweight ranks, will get a se- vere test at the Queensboro Stadium to- night when he tackles the fast-punch- én“i Stanislaus Loayza in a 10-round ut.

EW YORK, June 11.—It has taken a quarter century to cut the record for the 100-yard | dnsh by one-fifth of a second | —from Dan Kelly's first of- | e;!ruw said Bracey, in tribute to the great Canadian. “Some of the watches at cmuty caught Simpson in ss low as 93-10," | Hjertberg pointed out. “and Bracey was | barely a foot behind him. Given favor- | able conditions, the record may be cut |t091-5 at Denver.” Yet, it wasn't so long ago that coaches and officials generally regarded 92-5 for the “100” as next to impos- sible, feeling that the limit of human Texas Speedster Is One of speed had been reached. “Bracey, although big and rangy. is a better yaan 8t the 100 than the 230" | Hiertberg continued. “I think he ca beat anybody, Simpson included, at the shorter distance. The Ohio runner won last Saturday because of a better start. He was losing ground to Bracey at the finish and that was the first time Simpson ever beat the Texas boy.” Bracey has one more year of college competition in which to seek additional sprint laurels. He has improved steadily under Hjertberg's coaching. Extra | weight has helped him this year. A | 6-footer, he now scales around 160 | pounds. He has a 17-year-old brother, | aciat 93 in 1906, to George SImpson's | w10 is’ 6 feet 2 inches tall and also | 925, that is expected to receive official | | approval—but the new mark may not | ‘ last more than a month. At least that is the conviction of [a Claude Bracey, the speed star of Rice Institute, Texas, who was runner-up to Simpson in the famous record- smashing race at Chicago last Saturday. Bracey, here today, believes the 100~ yard record will be cracked again at the National A. A. U, championships in Denver, July 3, 4, 5, and he has high hopes of being the sprinter .to do the cracking. _ A Great Sprint Field, The ‘sprint fleld for the big title meet will be the best ever gathered together in Bracey's bellef as well as that of his coach, the Veteran Ernie Hjertberg, even though it now seems | likely that a pulled tendon will keep | Simpson out of this competition. Bracey expects to find arrayed against him such stars as Eddie Tolan of Michigan, PFrank Wykoff of Glendale, Calif.; Rus- sell Sweet of the Olympic Club, San Francisco; Karl Wildermuth of George- town, and Percy Willlams, the curly- haired Canadlan, who wears the Olym- pic sprint_crown. Bracey is especially anxious to match strides again with Willlams, who beat the Texan in the Olympic semi-finals. “Willlams is the fastest finisher I A Genuine Anti-Knock Motor Fuel ] to shift Are you tired of getting knocks from yonrmomf'l‘lredofgnvhi m at the bottom of the ay up?
