? SPORTS | ' Doherty Registers Best Score Ever Made in A. U. in Winning i s i s e 0w NEAR WORLD MARK INDENVER VITORY Three Relay Records Broken as Annual Games Are Brought to Close. BY FRANK H. FRAWLEY, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. ENVER, Colo., July 6 (#).—The greatest all-around athlete in the United States, by Amatenr Athletic Union measurements, is Kenneth Doherty of« the Cadillac Athletic Club, Detroit. Doherty. & tall. studious-looking fel- low, whose slender physique belles the strength and endurance that is his, yesterday scored 7,784.68 points in the decathlon of the annual A. A. U. track and field championships. It was the highest score ever made in the United States for the grueling competition, Iasting almost a full day. The highest number of poinis previously scored was 7.174.42 by Fait Elkins of the University of Nebraska in 1927. Doherty's show- ing closely approached the world rec- ord of 8,053.29, made in 1928 by Paavo Yrjola of Finland. Defeats Fine Field. Doherty, who won the A. A T. decathlon title last year with 7,600.52 points, beat out a fine fleld of com- ‘petitors in the 10 events, the 100-meter Tun, broad jump, 16-pound shotput, 400- meter run, 110-meter hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, 1,500~ meter run and high jump. V. Kennedy of Warrensburg, Mo., ‘Teachers’ College, was second with 7,362.003 points and Wilson Charles, an | Oneida Indian, of Haskell Institute, Lawrence, Kans., third, with 7,240.053. Charles, until the last events of the decathlon approached, appeared to be headed for a world record, but he | failed to stand the pace, due to an ankle injury. The three-day stand of the “American olympics” came to a close with three Telay records being smashed. Two new marks went to the Los Angeles Athletic Club, which took the relays champion- ship with 16 points, and one to the New York A. C. Milt Maurer, Charley Paddock, Maurice Guyer and Frank Wykoff car- ried the L. A. A. C. colors to a world vecord in the 440-yard event for a track with two turns, covering the quarter mile in 419 seconds, a half second faster than the old mark. This same quartet clipped one full second from the A. A, U. record in the half mile by making the distance in 1 minute 264 seconds. Jackson Scholz, Johnny Kerr, Howard Jones and Frank Cuhel, running for the New York A. C, set the new A. A. U. rec- ord for the mile at 3 minutes 17 sec- onds, or six-tenths second faster than the old mark made in 1926 by an Illi- nois A. C. team composed of Steven- son, Taylor, Oestreich and Kennedy. Herman Brix, University of Wash- ington product, threw the 8-pound shot 67 feet 11 inches—a new world record. Ralph Rose had held the record at 67 feet 7 inches since 1907. Bracey Takes “Special” Claude Bracey, the “Texas Tornado,” who finished second to Eddie Tolan of Michigan in the senior 100-yard dash, won a special 80-yard dash yesterday against a picked field, but he failed to Jower the world record of 8 seconds by one-ienth second. Immediately after the finish of the Jast event yesterday the Denver Uni- versity Stadium was hit by a drench- ing rain. An unusually strong wind prevailed during the three days of the meet, In addition 1 A A to the two world records, . marks fell during the hampionships. Five records were ten in the junior division—3220-yard dash, pole vault, 120-yard hizh hurdles, the high jump and the javelin throw— and four in the senior championships— 400-yard run, discus throw, javelin and pole vault, 1 DECATULON. _John .

The coach demanded the sa squad in Spring practice. semblance. After sizing up his candidates he announced that they were t00 puny to make a foot ball team worthy of Lafayette. Something had to be done to build them up. He suggested manual labor. The candidates paled a little at the suggestion, but there wes no sacri- fice that they would not make for the alma mater. . With the start of the Summer vaca- tions nearly all the members of the Lafayette foot ball squad got jobs as members of a pick and shovel gang. A few slackers got light work es steve- dores and one or two went to the steel mills. But ths others are in their ditches picking or shoveling for dear old Lafayette. Let the foot ball squad of Rutgers tie this for devotion. Snaring Educated Ivory. on the part of somebody because the ivory hunters from the big leagues are invading the college campus seeking their prey. In several instances they seem to be finding it. Col. Jacob Rup- pert, who has reserve ivory all over the country, has just looted Holy Cross of the most promising pitcher of the sea- son. Those who deplore fvory hunting on the collegiate reserves point to the fact that Mr. C. C. Pyle and the other gentlemen who tried to professionalize intercollegiate foot ball never signed a player until he was ready to be graduated. They made this agreement with the col- leges to stave off criticism. But ‘when a base ball scout sees a good prospect he apparently strikes him down and drags him off before he can finish his education. 4 1f the collegian really is destined fo become a big leaguer, this part of it is immaterial. After one sezson with the big league he will become just a base ball player. It would not matter if he ‘were permitted to remain long enough in college to take a post-graduate course and make his Ph. D. He would be trading his Phi Beta Kappa key for a pair of galloping dice or a pinochle deck at the first training camp. * But what the scouts should not do is to sign a college player and permit him to play for the alma mater under cover for the remainder of the college sea- son. There have been instances where a player signed by a big league club course in base ball. The big league magnates might be fair enough to an- nounce the fact when they sign a col- lege player, since the players themselves are not so frank. 3 The Rising of 0’Doul. Mr. Francis Xavier O'Doul, now a leading batsman._ of the National League, once was believed to have In- dian blood in his veins. ‘While he was a member of the New York Yankees the legend spread that Mr. ODoul was = lineal descendant of Sitting Bull, the sedentary Sioux.

Perhaps this indicates something of interest I do not know. He writes: ‘‘As might be expected, women get. their vocal apparatus in action a full beat quicker than do men. Whether it is because a wom- an’s perception. is quicker or because the contact between sight and sound is more directly connected, an ex- | eciting play will invariably find a woman’s volce in full flight while a man is starting a preliminary throst mumble. Of course, the score of false vocal starts is naturally heavier against women than against men, so that it would seem as though the quicker action is more a matter of how closely emotions lie to the sur- face of expressions, after all.” All of this may or may not indicate that the female of the species is more deadly than the male, or whatever the writer started out to demonstrate. At price fights the emotions qf the female are very much like those of the | male, only more so.

ROBERTSON, Assoctated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, July 6.—Picking turf champions in ly is dan- gerous business, but if titles were awarded on the basis of performances since April, seven thoroughbreds would be well qualified today to wear the crown of their re- spective divisions. A selection of title holders after the Fourth of July races would look some- thing like this: Two-year-old, Boojum; 3-year-old, Blue Larkspur; 2-year-old filly, Alciblades; 3-year-old filly, Rose of Sharon; sprint champion, Osmand; bandicap champion, Diavolo, and steeplechase champion, Bangle. Many Fine 3-Year-Olds. But even after the above list is de- cided upon there is still much room for dispute. Not in recent years has the 3-year-old division been so devold of an outstanding horse. Blue Larkspur is & good eolt, but not a great one. He the rank of of July cham- plon because of victories in the With- ers and Belmont. No other 3-year-old has won more than one important stake event. The muddle, however, may be straightened out next Saturday, when all the leaders of the division, with the possible ex n of Jack High, meet at Arlington Park in the $60,000 Ameri- can classic. Even the 2-year-old scramble for yearly honors is stil a wide-open &rop- osition and probably will remain so until the rich and important juvenile fixtures at Saratoga in Harry Payne Whitney’s Boojum has shown the most speed. In his few times out this season he never has been rulhed. “:lw-yl winning with several e. 3-year-old division the is!

By fhe Associated Press. IMBLEDON, England, July 6. —France has a firm grip on fo threaten Helen Wills' monopoly on feminine laurels. Her feat in trouncing Helen Jacobs, another Californian, 6—1, 6—2, on Wimbledon’s famous center court yes- terday gave Miss Wills her third British champlonship in es many vears and her second in a row without the loss of a set. As a matter of fact, the earnest searcher after facts must go back to 1927 before discovering any opponent world tennis, but no nation has nominated a rival able| w girl. In that year, Miss G. R. Sterry of England bowed to Miss Wills in the ships, 6—3, 3—6, 6—3, but Miss Wills swept through the rest of the field to win the title for the first time. Since that day, June 11, 1927, when Miss Sterry gave her such .a tussle, Miss ‘Wills has not lost a set. Her victory in the current champion- lh!gs was more impressive than either of her other two. In 1927 she lost one set and 43 games in taking the title. In 1928 she dropped 18 games but no sets. This year she lost no sets only 16 games. Miss Wills' easy triumph over Miss Jacobs indicated among other things that the Berkeley girl will have lttle trouble defending her American title this Fall. She won the American, British and Frénch titles in 1928 and already has repeated in the French and British events of 1929. There seems to be no reasonable ground for suspecting that she will not sweep through all opposition in the na- tional championships of her own land. The final day of the 1929 champion- ships today found Miss Wills with chance for another title to add to her string. The women's champion and Fra Hunter were matched in the finals _of Joan Pry and L C. Collins of England. The final of the men's singles brought | ¢ ] together the French aces, Henrl Cochet and Jean Borotra, and the women's doubles found two British teams, Mrs. Phoebe Watson and Mrs. Peggy Saun- ders Mitchell, _title holders, paired against M. S. Phyllis Covell and Mrs. Dorothy Shepherd Barron.

Horton Smith was the boy wonder of golf on May 21, when he estab- lished a world ccmpetitive record in the Prench open by playing two rounds in 66 strokes each. Next day Horton became 21 years old. Smith's game is self-made, the re- sult of much reflection and practice. the his it to him here for a splendid adapta- tion of method to his own physique. ‘Horton is some inches over 6 feet.

MacKenzie of Columbia will not be among those to answer the starter’s call when the medal round starts at the Del Monte Golf anc Country Club in September. Nor will Watts Gunn, nor Dick Jones, and probably not Francis Ouimet or Jesse Guilford. % In other words, three members of the last Walker Cup ttam will not be among those present, and while Bob Jones will be there to defend his cham- plonship, and George Von Elm, the perennial rival of the Georgian, will also be there along with the aging Chick Evans, the champlonship will lack that In| flavor’ which would be imparted were the best of the East also to be ent.

Roland MacKenzie, always diffident about saying something that might hurt some one, was discussing the forthcoming championship. “It takes a long time, and a good deal of money,” he said. “I'm afraid I won't be able to make it.” Watts Gunn said the same thing, and George Voigt sald he was not yet decided, while it is practically seitled that Ouimet and Gullford, the champions of 1914 and 1921, will not be among those present. Serious competition in that cham plonship will take at least three weeks of time, and at least $600 worth of currency, if all the conventionalitics are lived up tp. Many of the boys are more hard up for the money than for the time, although to some of them time is money. So the U. S. G. A, Is very likely to have a nice little personally conducted run-around for Bob Jones in California in September. Not that any of the Eastern lads would be seri- ous opposition for Jones. They have had their whack at him and falled for five years. Von Elm is the only one who has been able to take him. And Jones will never be caught mpnmx ‘.nnum Von Elm as he was at Baltusrol 1926. Miller B. Stevinson is not going to California. Harry G. Pitt dallied with the idea for a while and then gave it up. Page Hufty thought long and lo v ingly on the Far West and decided to pass it up. So it looks as if the current year will find the National Capital en- tirely without representation in the tournament which Tommy Armour calls the “set-up for Jones. WEST VIRGINIA PITCHER IS NOTICED BY GRIFFITH MORGANTOWN, W. Va., July 6 (@. —Johnny Pervola, who has pitched iwo no-hit games and slammed out 23 hits in 26 times at bat for the Monongahelz West Penn Co. in the local junior league, has attracted the attention of Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators. Pervola recently received a letter from Griffith, complimenting him for his record and inviting him to visit Wash- ington at the expense of the Nationels, - Addison A.

Apparently the only way the women golfers from Frederick, Md., can defeat the Washington woman's team is to re- ceive a handicap of at least nine bisques, for yesterday they played in another match at the Columbia Country Club, and notwithstanding the fact that the Prederick women received their reg- ular handicap allowance, they were beaten by 2212 to 10la. Earlier in the week the Washington women journeyed to Frederick and scored a victory over their hosts in a match at the Catoctin Country Club. Virtually the same team played for Wnsmngon yesterday that played earlier in the week. Members of the Army. Navy and Ma- rine Corps Country Club were to com- g;;e this afternoon in a blind bogey dicap event. ‘Work of demolishing the old golf shop and former clubhouse of the Washing- ton Golf and Country Club is to start within a few days, preparatory to mov- ing the professional's shop into the addition to the clubhouse now under construction. Dave Thomson, the club pro, will have a new golf shop located as part of the clubhouse under the re- construction plans, while a caddie shelter will be constructed on the hill- side, north of and below the first tee. The site of the old caddie house will J. | be graded, sodded and landscaped. — e OWENS MOTOR CO.
