INTEREST, THOUGH, KEENER THAN EVER Hot Contests and Some New Marks Sure to Result in Annual Affair. l not expect to see many records broken in the annual Municipal Playground Department track meet to be held Wednesday, August 21, on the Plaza playground. This would be in decided contrast to last year, when 12 marks fell. Among those who are thought to have a good chance to shatter records are Pearson of Bloomingdale playground, who will strive to better the standard of 15 feet 2 inches which he hung up last year in the 70-pound class broad jump. In practice this season Pearson has exceeded his record. Shorb of Garfield is looked upon as having not only a good chance to win the unlimited class half-mile, but to better the record of 2 minutes 8 seconds, which is held by Ben McCullough, erack Fastern High athlete, who is not eligible to defend his honors because of being a letter winner at the Lincoln Park school. Shorb, also an Eastern High student, has been runner-up to McCul- lough in the 880 in the playground meet the past two years. The half-mile has steadily grown in pularity among the playground ath- tes. This year it will be on the pro- gram of the colored city championships, August 23, at Cardoza, for the first time. Meehan of Plaza, who last year Jeaped to a record in the 115-pound class broad jump at 19 feet 81, inches, is believed likely to shatter his own mark. HOUGH the preparation has been more intense and the interest greater, playground officials do Teams Are Strong. Another warm fight for top honors seems likely in this year's meet. Last year Towa Avenue, with 21 points, won out by & single point over Rosedale. with 20. Plaza, third, was right behind the leaders with 19, followed by Weight- man with 15. The competition was so close that any of the four teams could have won the meet in the final event, the unlimited class 440-yard relay. This year officials believe that the team able to score 18 points will come mighty close to winning the meet. One of the most gratifying features of this year's track season, according to Richard 8. Tennyson, director of boys activities for the Playground Depart- ment, is the increased strength shown by some of the smaller playground teams, which heretofore have not fig- ured so prominently in the sport. Some of these are Reservoir. Fillmore, Hoo- ver, Maury and Peabody. .

' BUCKINGHAM BEST AT BENNING TRAPS ‘Nash Buckingham powdered 48 out of 50 targets to take top honors in the weekly Washington Gun Club_shoot yesterday at the Benning traps. Walter flson was close on Buckingham's heels with 48 hits. He also figured in the miss-and-out contest in which Dr. W. D. Monroe was victorious, gaining the spoon trophy for high added target handicap. Buckingham and Burrows led the field in the two contests on the Four Months' trophy, each scoring a win with 24 hits out of 25. Smashing 46 out of 50, Julius Marcey was outstanding in the doubles.

They are Bill Evans, quarter and half; Bill Heintz, guard; George Madigan, centef, and Augie Roberts, halfback. With other 1928 reserves and about 20 from last season’s freshmen, the squad should number around 40.

HOLLY VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB, Michigan, August 3.—Emmet Pare of Chicago, national clay court champion, meets Fritz Mercur of Bethlehem, Pa., the seventh ranking star in the coun- try, for the Michigan State singles championship tomorrow afternoon here. Pare got even with Ellsworth Vines, the 18-year-old sensation of Pasadena, for a stinging defeat the Californian handed him in the Western champlon- ships recently and won in four close sets, The scores were 6—2, 4—6, 7—5, intermittent blowing rain post- A poned the match twice, but playing | ‘went on though the court was a bit heavy. The rd-hitting Vines, who smashes practically every ball at top speed with a zipping stroke on both forehand and backhand, had a lead of 5—3 in the third set, but Pare rallied and took four straight games for the set. Then nfifln in the fourth set Vines went ahead at 4—2, but Pare broke out again and ran four games to cinch the match. Vines controlled the play with his terrific drives with Pare smacking them back steadily, re- lying more on Vines' errors than his own placements for points. Vines and Keith Gledhill, his Cali- fornia teammate, meet the winners of the Mercur-Shields vs. Jennings-Chaf- fee match ih the finals of the doubles play. Immediately after the singles Carolyn Swartz, an attractive San Prancisco 1, who ranks fifteenth in the national feminine lists, meets Cath- erine Wolf of Indianapolis, the Illinois State champlon, in the woman's singles final. The woman’s doubles title went to Miss Wolf and Muriel Adams, also of Indianapolis, when they trounced Miss Swartz and Ruth Oexman of Cin- cinnati with unexpected ease, 6—I1, 6—3. Hugh McArthur, another California ter, won the junior singles cham- the net to volley and érack beaul overheads for Phoemenu whenever he needed a point badly. HAGEN AND SMITH, WITH 68, CAPTURE MATCH, 4-3 LINE CHIEF PROBLEM FOR NORTH CAROLINA CHAPEL HILL, N. C, August 3.— For many years foot ball teams at the University of North Carolina have been noted for their strong lines. But, ex- cept for the team of 1922, which won the South Atlantic title, the Tar Heel backfields of the last 10 years have not set_the woods afire. ‘This is not to intimate that Carolina teams have not won a large percen of their games in the last 10 years. dn | truth, they have been remarkably €uc- cessful, but for their laurels they have had to depend to a large extent on their lines. s This year history in the Tar Heel gridiron camp may reverse itself. Coaches Collins, Fetzer and Cerney last year developed a fast corps of back- fleld men, and most of those boys will be back. 'Nine letter men who played in the backfield last season are ex- pected to report on September 2, and there should be much promising mate- rial coming up from the reserves and freshmen. Eight letter men are ex- pected to report for the line. Wyrick will House and Harden make a fine pair of fullbacks; and there will be a num- ber of fast halfbacks, with Magner, Maus, Nash, Jackson, Erickson and Ward all returning. Much may also be expected of a number of the reserves and freshman backs. Fort Erie Entries Associated Press.
