THE E STAR, WASHINGTO \. D. C. THURSDAY, AUGUST 7. 1930. SPORTS. Team Strength Will Decide Meet Between British and American Combinations . THE LISTENING POST WILL USE ENGLISH . STYLE OF SCORING: Only Individual Event Listed Is 100-Yard Dash and That Tentative. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, August 7.—Team strength rather than indi- vidual ability will be the| determining factor in the | track and field meet between the United States and British Empire at Soldier Field, here, on the night of August 27. The English system of conducting games by relays rather than individual races is rather new in the United States, but som oef the more ultra- idealistic track folk believe it to be the proper method of determining interna- tional supremacy. Fifteen events aré on the interna- tional program and all but one will be | conducted as a team contest. Even the | fleld events will be so arranged and in | the pole vault, hammer throw, jumps | and javelin the aggregate distance or| height of three men will decide the| winner. The lone event for individuals.| is th 100-yard dash and that is only tentative. Sprint Promises Thrills. One of the events that promises to be particularly spectacular will be the 400-yard relay. The United States likely will send George Simpson of Ohio State, Eddie Tolan of Michigan, Cy Le- land of Texas Christian and either Bracey of Rice or Toppino of New Or- leans Loyola to the post against the| British. Al of the sprinters are in| serious training and some speedy time should be made. The United States also will be strong in the shotput and it is unlikely that any three men in the world can toss the | leaden ball farther than Rothert and |3 Krenz of Stanford and Paul Jessup of | Washington. With Lee Sentman of Tilinois, Steve Anderson of Washington and Dick Rockaway of Ohio State ready for the hurdle races, the States will be powerful and fast over the sticks. It is tn the hurdles that the British will be particularly strong, for Lord David Burghley, Olympic 400-meter hurdle champion, will lead the empire in those events and three other good men will be selected to aid him. Percy Williams, the Olympic 100 and 200 meter champion, will also be on hand to contest again-t Simpson and other United States sprinters. The British team will not be selected until after the Empire games held at Hamilton, Ontario, August 16 to 23. That meet will bring together the best track and field men from Great Britain, Canada, South Africa, Aus- tralia, New Zealand and other British | Ppossessions. U. S. Squad of 60. United States' squad of 60 will be named after the National A. A. U. championships at Pittsburgh on Au- gust 22-25. Most of the stars repre- senting the United States will be con- | sidered_the outstanding candidates for | the 1932 Olympic team, which makes the Chicago games of the utmost im- portance. Wykoff of Southern Cali- fornia is about the only outstanding star who will not be available for the meet, but he can be spared with all of the other leading sprinters on hand. 1t is probable that at least 20 of the United States squad will come from the Pacific Coast. The Los Angeles A. C. will send 13 men to the National A. A. TU. meet and the Olympic Club of San Prancisco will have practically the | same team that won the A. A. U. games | at Denver last Summer in the Pitts-| burgh arena. University of Washington | also will have six or more at Pittsburgh, £0 there is little chance to keep the coast stars from winning at least one- third of the places on the team that will oppose the British. WILL SWIM IN JAPAN. HONOLULU, August 7 (#)—The Japanese Swimming _Association has notified the. Hawailan Amateur Ath- letic Union to have Maiola Kalili and Manuella Kalili, Honolulu, and Mickey Riley, Los Angeles, depart for Japan Thursday to compete in Japan's na- | team has been assembled. but on paper Dodgers Buy Mattingly, Former D.

All riders to compete are members of the Century oad Club Association, except James Barnes, who will represent the Isher- wood A. C. He was runner-up to Edgar Bieber, last year's champion.

COMMERCE RACKETERS HOLD EDGEWOOD EVEN Edgewood, leader of the Suburban| Tennis League, was held to a 4—4 tie| by the Commerce team in a hai'-| fought match. In the feature contest Sendal and Staubly of Commerce de- feated Kip Callan and Robins, 6—4, l4—8, 6—2. The 25-yard free-stroke and side- stroke races will feature the playground swimming meet between girl teams of the eastern and western sections next Tuesday in the Georgetown peol.

Bruder Seen as Best Gridman of All Time EVANSTON, IIl, August 7 (®#).— After 20 years' experience as coach, critic and player, Coach Dick Han- ley of Northwestern University picks his 1930 captain, Hank Bruder, as the greatest foot ball player of all time. “Bruder is no specialist,” Coach Hanley said. “He can do everything. He can punt, he can pass and he can run. More than that, he can receive a pass, which is harder than throwing one. No finer defensive man ever stepped on the gridiron. Injuries have held him back the last two years, but watch him go this season.” Bruder flashed impressively during the start of the 1929 campaign, but broke his leg and was out for the season.

Enterprise came in first for two suc- cessive triumphs, as she also won Tues day. Weetamoe could have been sec- ond but did not cross the finish line, as she had fouled Whirlwind by crowd- ing Her at the starting line. The cup defense committee told Weetamoe to keep on when she inquired what to do. Enterprise was 7 minutes and 2 sec- onds ahead of Yankee, and 12 minutes and 52 seconds ahead of Whirlwind. Weetamoe also lost her Genoa jib, which split just after the start in an air that would not have blown up a paper bag. It was broken up the mid- dle from the foot, tearing like a sheet. She lost a few seconds by that, but was bezten in her own light weather. OPERATON SAVES LIFE OF CHAMPION TROTTER| SYRACUSE, N. Y. August 7 () — Main McElwyn (2:023-4), trotting_ stallion as a 2-year-old last vear, whose life was despaired of, can- not be counted out of the Hambletonian $70,000 stake at Goshen, August 27. Following an operation’ here in which | a cysh.was removed from the intestinal | tract, Dr. G. B. McKillop of Chicago and Dr. John Richards of New York, who performed the operation, said the | horse would be able to resume training next week. GIRL NET STAR HERE. Catherine Wolf, No. 2 in the Western Tennis Association ranking. is visiting here and yesterday played at Columbia | Country Club with Bud Markey. Miss Wolf, who holds the Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin State titles, is keeping in trim for the national cham- pionships next month in New York. champion | | 1 1 BY WALTER HE first All-America foot ball| eleyen was selected by Walter| Camp, in 1889 for a magazine | conducted®™by Caspar Whitney. The magazine died, but the All- America thing lived. | On that 1889 team, the two ends were Cumnock of Harvard and Stagg of Yale. When Stagg wasn't playing foot . ball he generally was playing base ball, and was one of the great pitchers in college history. But that is some time back. For the | last few years—38, to be exact—Amos ! Alonzo Stagg has been teaching the | youngsters of Chicago University to be- come athletes and sportsmen. . As these seasoris have passed, Stagg's | requirements for eligibility on teams he coached never have changed. He al-| ways has asked first, not for physical, | but for mental and spiritual qualities. | Stagg wants youngsters of high heart and gallant soul. He hasn't always found the perfect type, but he has| come as close as he could, never low- ering his standard for any purpose of | immediate gain. With less material numerically than many of his rivals. Stagg has turned out a surprising number of winning teams. I think perhaps his teams win be- | cause Stagg demands so much of his | men and is so sure that he will get it | that the boys hate to disappoint him. May his thirty-ninth season of foct ball coaching at Chicago be pleasant. Bob Zuppke says tha* he will have | to build a practically new eleven at| Tlinois. He insists that.his line ma- terial left from last season consists | largely of third-string men and is heavy and awkward. He admits that the hew material is fast, but says it is| too light. This makes me smile a little when I remember how violently Zuppke | asserted, only last Autumn, that he| could pick a team of 160-pounders which would lick any eleven I could name. Illinois has lost Crane, Wietz, Gordon and Burdic from its line and Timm, ony TRUMBULL Peters, Mills and Humbert from the backfield, ‘but I refuse to get very de- pressed over the situation. Zuppke al- | ways manages to bob up with & pretty formidable foot ball team. By next November he will be proving to any- body who will listen that abowt eight out of his eleven regulars are plainly of all-America caliber. Clark D. Shaughnessy writes me from Loyola University, in New Orleans, con- cerning Eddie Morgan of the Cleveland Indians. Shaughmessy incloses a clip- ping, which notes that Morgan's twen- ty-first_home run of the year won & game for Cleveland and beat Detroit, and asks if 1 remember how Eddie nulled a Dick Merriwell when at Tu- ane. Tulane was playing Louisiana State and was two runs behind. In the last half of the ninth inning, with two out, | two men on base and the count three and two, Morgan clouted the ball over ihe far-dway Tulane fence and busted up the ball game. It was in the ninth inning that he hit that home run in Cleveland the last day of July and broke up another ball game. Morgan appears to be one of those hitters with a sense of drama. He stretches suspense to the full and then comes through. Shaughnessy always said that if he would take the game seriously, Eddie Morgan would be a big league star. It looks as if that is good dope.

TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN’S, 7th & F e T 5 S S S S ST BOROTRA TO QUIT DAVIS CUP TENNIS PARIS, August 7.—Jean Borotra confirmed reports that he would not play on the 1931 French Davis Cup team and that Rene Lacoste would quit retirement to replace him on the squad. Borotra, most colorful of tennis play- ers and member of"the 1930 Davis Cup team, which successfully defended the | historic trophy a few weeks ago, said he was “to old” and that it was “time to give the youngsters a chance.” Lacoste won the Wimbledon singles | title in 1925 and 1928; the American championship in 1926 and 1927, and was a member of the French Davis Cup team in 1925, 1926, 1927 and 1928. Borotra said he would continue to play in tournaments save when hin- dered by business. WILLIAMS WINS SPRINT. TORONTO, August 7.—Making his first appearance in Eastern Canada this year, Percy Williams won the 100-yard | exhibiticn race at the Dominion police games yesterday.

NOLAN MOTOR CO, Sales @ Service GOOD USED CARS Alwdys 1111 18th N.W. “On_Your Way Downtown” from EXPERTS More Washington automobile dealers and distribu- tors recommend ESSO for use in the cars they sell than recommend any other motor fuel or gasoline. OU’D agree, wouldn’t you, whether you drive a car or not, that no one is in a better position to know the difference in gasolines than an automobile dealer. The car the dealer is demonstrating to-a prospect must run fault- lessly, quietly—and yet show quick pick-up and reserve power. It must show itself at its best or lose out to a competitive make. So we interviewed the 38 leading car dealers and distributors of Washington to see what %asoline or motor fuel they are using. And we ound that 19 of the 38 are using ESSO, the Giant Power Fuel, in the cars they demon- strate. That’s more car dealers than are using any LISTERINE SHAVING CREAM . QB¢ q tube Millions of men with tough beards and tender skins have paid 50¢ a tube for this wonderful shaving cream. To increase users tenfold, we have cut the price in two, confident that tremendous sales will reduce production costs. At 25¢, Listerine Shaving Cream is the biggest tube of quality eream at anything near its price. Your first shave will prove that its thick, creamy lather takes up water like a sponge. That it stays moist. That it deposits a microscopic film of glycerine on which your razor slides. ; Thus friction is reduced. The'ye is no scrape or pull. No heat or harshness.

This photograph actual size of shows tube other motor fuel or gasoline sold in Washington. But that’s only half the story A motor fuel might be good for stunt perform- ance but harmfui to an engine in the long run. And the company that sells an automobile wants it to give permanently top-notch per- formance. So we asked each car dealer, “What gasoline do you recommend to your .customers for use in the cars they buy?” Every one of the 19 Washington dealers and distribu- tors who uses ESSO for demonstration purposes also recommends that his customers use ESSO in the cars they drive. And that was testimony from bona fide ex- perts! Because we talked to the service departments of these car dealers where expert mechanics cure the wear and tear on motors. “We recommend that ESSO is the best-suited fuel for the modern high-compression en- gine,” said the Manager of the Maintenance Depart- ment of one of Washington’s leading car dealers. “We recommend ESSO to our customers for best all- round performance,” said the President of another large automob! ile agency. other service salesman.
