KELLER. | at Cleveland Today. LEVELAND, June 7.—For | the fourth time this sea-| son the Nationals have ex- perienced a lay-off of two successive days because of in- clement weather and it is not to| their liking. Idleness in Detroit | Friday put them a half gamel farther back of the league-lead- | ing Athletics, which is nothing a| second-place club likes to take.| Furthermore, a game a day now is better than two games a day later on. And the double-headers are iling up, six now being listed for he Griffmen. There was no help for it today, | though. It rained here all morning and | all afternoon it showered intermittently. | 1t was quite cold, too, 5o there probably would not have been more than a cor- poral's guard attending had there been | & contest. Evervthing in the way of weather favorable, Nationals and Indians will start tussling Sunday with the latter having a chance to wrest second_posi- tion from the Washington club. To do 50, however, the Indians would have to sweep the set of three games. They now are two and one-half games out of the second berth HT-HAND pitching probably will be served the Indians by the Na- tionals in all three engagements: At least, it is expected right-handers will start. As the Washington mound corps has performed recently it never can be figured just what kind of a pitcher will finish a game. There are in line for service here so far as right-handers are concerned Bump Hadley, Ad Liska, Fred Marberry and Sam Jones. Hadley, it seems, has about relieved himself of the arm sore- ness that troubled him for several days and s likely to open the series. Liska and Marberry loom as choices for the succeeding tilts 1t is believed by those who have to do with the conditioning of the Washing- ton pitchers that this trio still can stand much more work than it has been get- ting. The failure of Hadley, Liska and . Marberry to perform impressively in re- cent starts is attributed to too much Joafing by them. Looks as though these boys from now on not only are to get a lot of turns on the hill, but also a lot of toiling between starts. A\ for Jones to start in this serles as well as against the Tigers to- day’s postponement is apte to keep the somber squire of Woodsfield idle until Chicago is reached next Wednesday. When the championship campaign started it was announced that Jones uld be nursed carefully and have pots picked for him. While Sam is a crafty toiler on the hill the old salary wing is not so sturdy as it used to be and needs plenty of rest between efforts. At least four days of idleness should be given it after a turn before being « pressed into service again was the early calculation. This may be right. Jones opened fire + against the Athletics in Washington Jast Sunday and was thumped from the | slab. He tried to come back against the Tigers four days later and took an- other bumping. This is the sixteenth season_on big-league slabs for the Woodsfield squire, and he cannot be ex- pected to have the Tecuperative quali- ties of a youngster in the game. P 1G!

Shamrock V Beaten By Stiff Northeaster LYMINGTON, England, June 7 (P).—Weather conditions were all against the Shamrock V in her race with five other yachts today and she took only fourth place when the time allowances were worked out, although she crossed the finishing line second. The King's cutter Britannia was first, finishing the 38-mile sail 415 minutes ahead of the Shamrock. The Candida and Cambria took sec- ond and third places on time al- lowances, A stiff northeasterly breeze blew throughout the race. whereas the Shamrock is essentially a light- weather boat. In view of this fact, Sir Thomas Lipton is not at all dis- couraged by the showing of his America’s Cup challenger. “B1G MINORS” PLAN CHIGAGO SESSION Committees Expected Make Suggestion for An- nual Montreal Meeting. By the Associated Press ONTREAL, June 7—A joint M senting the three AA leagues in base ball, the International, meeting of committees repre- the American Association and Pacific | Coast, will be held in Chicago Tuesday, wiih indications that the session will continue throughout the week. The committee will have no power to take legislative action, but it will draft a report, including recommendations, to be brought before the three “big minors” at the annual meeting of the National Association of Professional Base Ball Clubs, at Montreal, in December. The International League will be represented by George M. ‘Weiss, Balti- more; Warren C. Giles, Rochester, and Walter E. Hapgood, Montreal. The National Association agreement, under which minor league base ball is operated, expires September 6, 1931, and it is understood that the AA leagues, wish some revisions made, possibly on a point that long has vexed the three, that of the small leagues, B, C and D, being on & voting parity with their big brothers. The Chicago meeting may also de- velop & discussion of salary limits. GETS MAJOR CONTRACT.

Max has gone about his training in a manner that indicates he has not built up enough linger around if Sharkey boxes as_well as he can and picks his spots. Road work, ained boxing sessions and other Stamina-building exercises have been lacking in the German's training schedule. This writer may be all wrong by insisting these are a necessary part of a fighter's training. With the excep- tion of a very few freaks of the ring, no fighter has yet achieved success, especially over a long route, who did not, indulge in these hardening exercises. Schmeling says he has no set plan of battle, that he makes it up as he goes along. If such is the case, he is again wrong. 1f Sharkey gives a repetition of the first round he flashed on Jack Dempsey. it is a safe bet that Schmeling will not answer the bell for the third round. Sharkey learned a valuable les- son in the Dempsey fight. Dempsey, under the rigorous system laid down by the late Leo P. Flynn, was in far better shape than Max Schmeling is today and only Dempsey's indomitable courage and calmness under fire saved him. If Sharkey ever gets Max in that shape, he will cut him to bits so that before the | second round is over the German will | be ready for the cleaners. It is that experience which gives Sharkey a de- cided edge. Jack Learns Body Punch. Judging from the way he has worked against his sparring mates, the German intends to keep walking right into Shar- | key and snap over a right hand blow. | Sharkey will undoubtediy box into posi- tion for short hooks to the body with the object of nullifying the dangerous right hand of his rival. By forging slowly ahead, Schmeling figures he will force Sharkey to discarJ his boxing tac- tics and swap blows. If that happens, Schmeling will have a good chance of winning. Sharkey' is no great shakes as a puncher, because he tries to get to0 much power behind his blows and as & consequence swings or loops his blows. This is a tactical blunder against a man who can drive through with a short, straight blow. Sharkey never fully appreciated the | value of a body blow until he stacked up against Dempsey, one of the most effective body punchers the game has ever known. Ever since that fight Jack has developed a wonderful hook to the body and weaves into position for a hard right uppercut just below the | heart. It was these two blows that took all the starch out of Tommy Loughran and made him an easy mark for a | looping _right to the temple. Jack belted Phil Scott with some beauties under the short ribs, and if Phil was | telling the truth after the fight, a | punch on the hip caused temporary | paralysis of the right leg. That gives |you a fair idea of Sharkey's weighty | body blows. | "And don't forget, Max Schmeling | dusted home to Germany rather than face this same Phil Scott. How the Dope Runs. 1f general form and training sessions are any basis upon which to judge the tactics the men will employ in the ring, then it can be set down that Sharkey will bide his time, outsmarting his op- ponent by his clever boxing and belt- ing the body in close, while Schmeling will adopt a weaving style to break up Jack’s stabbing left and at the same time try from the first bell to chug through with a smashing right. If such is the case, Schmeling will be so badly battered and winded around the tenth round that the German will either “retire” or the referee will stop the fight. On the other hand, if Sharkey attempts to rush and bully his way to a quick knockout it will be a stormy evening for the sailor. If Max Schmeling becomes the first | European to hold the world heavy- | weight title his victory over Sharkey will be a greater surprise than Gene | Tunney’s victory over Jack Dempsey in | | Philadelphia back in 1926.

U'. of Washington Team in Second Place. BY CHARLES W. DUNKLEY, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, June T7.—Move over for Frank Wykoff, another Gallant Fox—and make room smiling 20-year-old youngster of the University of Southern California. Traveling faster than any human be- ing has galloped 100 yards before, Wy= koff eclipsed the world record for the century to thrill a crowd of 12,000 to- | day when he won the event in the national collegiate track and fleld cham- plonships on Stagg Field in :09.4. Wykoff established his remarkable record without the use of starting blocks, wiping out the existing mark of :09.5, held by Eddie Tolan, the Uni- versity of Michigan's great colored sprinter. ‘The youth from the Pacific Coast, with his boyish face and wavy blonde hair, not only eclipsed the record, but also defeated George Simpson, the Buckeye bullet from Ohio State Uni- versity, who, a_year ago, raced to vic- tory in :09.4, but whose world record performance was rejected by the In- ternational Athletic Federation because he made it with starting blocks. Southern California Wins. Wykoff's sensational victory was in- strumental in helping Southern Cali- fornia carry off the team championship, making the Trojans track and fleld champions of the entire nation. The Trojans, previous winners of the Eastern intercollegiate and Pacific Coast_titles, annexed 57 27-70 points, with Wash- ington finishing second with 40, giving the Pacific Coast runner-up laurels, too. Iowa was third with 30 1-7, with Ohio State fourth, with 29 1-10 and Sanford fifth with 28. Forty-tree teams broke into the scoring in one of the most [ spectacular meets ever held in the coun- try. Besides Wykoff's world record, an- other world mark was tied, six records for the meet were smashed and another meet record was equaled. Only 6 of the 15 records established in 8 pre- vicus N. C. A. A. meets survived the day’s assaults, and most of them just by bare fractions. Leads Whole Route. ‘Wykofl's achievement in cracking the world mark for the century was a thriller. He was away winging, first out of his holes, and led every foot of the race, with Simpson snapping at his heels after the first 30 yards. With a mighty drive at the tape, Wykoff’s chest broke the white string a full 18 inches ahead of Simpscn. The Buckeye flyer, defeated for the first time outdoors this year, made one of the worst starts of his career and was last of the sprinters off his mark. He overhauled all except Wykoff, who raced on to vic- tery with the s of a frightened deer. Simpson, disappointed in defeat, offered no alibis and blamed only him- self for what he regarded as an in- excusably poor start. ‘Wykofl's victory resulted in a surpris- ing defeat of Tolan, the world record hoMer. Tolan finished fourth, about 4 inches back of a comparatively ‘“un- known,” Ed Toppino of Loyola Univer- city, New Orleans. The two Texas streaks, Claude Bracey of Rice Instis tute and Cy Leland of Texas Christian, finished fifth and sixth, respectively. Does Not Use Blocks. As Wykoff did not use starting blocks, officials of the meet said there was lit- tle doubt that his performance would be accepted internationally as a world record, since he had no wind advantage. When the sprinters bounded off their marks there was hardly a breeze stirring in the stadium, and the track, rain soaked for 12 hours previously, had dried out amazingly and was springy and fast. The spectators had hardly settled back in their seats to watch the first event of the program, when a world record was tied. Stephen Anderson of Wash- ington, equaled the world mark when he ran the 120-yard high hurdles in 0:144, to defeat Lee Sentman, the hurdling wizard of Illinois, heretofore undefeated this . They raced as a team for 90 yards, but the pace was a bit too fast for Sentman and he falter- ed over the last two barriers, allowing the champion of the Far Northwest to draw away and win by a yard. Sentman, however, got revenge in the 220-yard low hurdles, which he won by three yards to equal the meet record of 0:23.2. Simpson Gets Revenge. Another revenger was Simpson. The Buckeye star, beaten in the century, left no doubt as to his superiority in the 220-yard dash. He won by at least five yards in 0:20.7, one-tenth of a sec- ond slower than the world record, but a tenth faster than the former N. C. A. A record, which he established a year ago. Cy Leland of Texas Christian was sccond, while Tolan, farmer of North Carolina, and East and Root of Chicago, crossed the line in that order in a blanket finish. In addition to Simpson’s performance in the furlong, new meet records were established, 880- yard run, two-mile, pole vault, discus throw and shotput. Orval Martin, Purdue’s great middle distance runner, wound up his colle- giate career by winning the 880-yard event in 1:54.1, clipping a tenth of & second off the meet record. He sprinted away to win by 10 yards, with Dale Letts of Chicago in sscond place. Paul Jessup, six-foot seven-inch foot ball center from the University of Washington, set a new meet record for the discus with a toss of 160 feet 935 inches. Eric Krenz of Stanford, holder of the world record of 163 feet 8% inches, could do no better than second 1.;9 with a throw of 158 feet 63 ches. Harold Manning of Wichita, Kansas College, accounted for a record in the 2-mile Tun when he sprinted virtually all the way to set a mark of 9:18.1— ten and seven-tenth seconds better than the old record made by David Ab- bott of Illinois in 1928. Manning m out of the pack of 24 two laps the finish and won by 15 3 ahead of Brocksmith of Indiana, the Big Ten champion. ‘The record-bi toss of 51 feet 13 inches, made by Harlow Rothert of Stanford in the shotput yesterday, stood up today as a new N. C. A. A. mark. To wind ur the record breaking in sensational style, Tommy Warne of Northwestern added another new meet mark to the list with a leap of 13 feet 97 inches, to better his own mark by an inch. He followed this with an at- ;cl‘lllep; to break the world record, but adled. Fails to Bring Thrill. The much-touted mile run failed to bring out anything more than a spirited race §gmh was won by Sivak of Butler ]
