ANDERSON EQUALS RECORD IN HURDLES Three U. S., Five Meet Stan-| dards Aic~ Go—Tolan and Simpson Break Even. P the discus throw and the best shot put and javelin heave ever recorded in America featured the national senior track and field championships of the Amateur Athletic Union at the University of Pittsburgh Stadium this afternoon. Led by a powerful band of athletes from Los Angeles A. C. which cap- tured team honors by an overwhelmln, margin and also carried off seven the 20 individual titles, the track and fleld talent of the Far West turned in the most spectacular performances as Uncle Sam served notice of con- siderable strength at his command for the meet with the British Empire at Chicago Wednesday night. Sharing the spotlight with sensa- tional achievements in the discus, jave- lin and shot was the latest renewal of, sprinting rivalry between Eddie Tola: of the University of Michigan and George Simpson of Ohio State. Tolan Beats Simpson. ‘This time the honors in the 100- yard dash went to Michigan's “mid- night express” after a great race in which he collared his rival at the half-way mark, but the Buckeye bullet came back to beat him in the 220- yard sprint and set a new American record of 21.3 seconds for this event sround a turn. All told, one world's record was set, another was equalled, three American récords went by the board and five championship records went: into the discard as this fifty-fifth .annual meet provided all the thrills that had been anticipated and more besides. Perhaps the outstanding individual feat was that of Paul Jessup, 6 foot 6 inch discus-thrower from the Wash- ington A. C. of Seattle, whose athletes vied with those of the Los Angeles A. C. in sensational performances. human skyscraper from the great Northwest threw the discus 169 feet, 87s inches to better by 6 feet the present world's record held by Eric Krenz of Stanford University, who did not compete here. Equals Hurdle Mark. In some of the other big moments of the day. Steve Anderson, also of the Washington delegation, equalled the world mark of 14.4 to retain his 120- yard high hurdle championship with several feet to spare; Herman Brix, for- mer University of Washington athlete, now competing for the .Los Angeles A.

That Uncle Sam has at least one young man who may fill the need for disiance stars was indicated by the fine running of 18-year-old Joe Mccluskey of South Manchester, Conn., and Pnrd- ham Um‘muf in winning the 2-mile steeplechase with 150 yards to spare.

By the Associated Pres: AMILTON, Ont., August 23.—To the tune ‘of crashing records in the track and fleld champion- ships, the British Empire games came to a close today before a Levi | rain-drenched crowd of 20,000. | _Led by the Olympic sprint champion, Percy Williams of Vancouver, captured d | five of the ten track and fleld finals | decided today while four went to Eng- land and one to New Zealand. ‘Willaims, after winning the 100-yard dash in 9 9-10 seconds, pulled up lame | and had to be carried from the track. | Later it was announced the Vancouver | flash had pulled a tendon in his left | leg and probably would be out of com- petition for some time. Four Canadian records went into the | discard today. Lord David Burghley, | crack English timber-topper, smashed | the mark for the 120-yard high hurdles | with & 14 6-10 seconds performance. | ‘Lord Burghley's time clipped one-tenth of a second off the Dominion mark set \up by H. G. Davies of South Africa in a preliminary heat on Thursday. Davies | was second in the final with P. E. Gaby | of En[lnnd third. . | Thomas, another English star, \rln n ‘spectacular race to smash the Canadian record for the mile. Thomas ran the eight furlongs in 4 minutes 14 | seconds to clip a full second off the old mark of 4:15 set in 1921 by Jole Ray of Chicago, second place went to William | | Whyte of Australia, with J. F. Cornkin | | of England, third; J. Walters of Canada | | fourth _and Phil’ Edwards, Negro star | | from British Guia a poor fifth.

Thompson himself was dubious.
