THROWININAROW CANS STARTROPHY Martag, Galloping Barefoot, Second—First D. C. Man Is Fourteenth. BY R. D. THOMAS. ILLY AGEE of Baltimore galloped 7', miles through the streets of Washington yesterday at a pace of bet- ter than a mile every five min- utes to score his third consecu- tive victory in the Takoma Park Citizens’ Association’s annual In-| dependence day run. The national 15-mile champion finished half a city block in front of Clyde Martag, also of Balti- more, who discarded 1ill-fitting shoes and ran barefoot. Runners {from the Monumental City trailed into the next eleven places, the first Washingtonian to cross the goal on the Takoma Park playground being | Irving Nicholson. fourteenth. He rep- resented the American Leglon. Agee's time was 35 minutes 30 4-5 seconds, about five minutes faster than he covered the course. which starts at Thirteerth street and Ohio avenue northwest, last year. His victory gave him a third leg on and permanent Pos- session of The Evening Star trophy. Stonewall Club Ahead. 1t was his siyth triumph of the year | in distance races and his eightecnth in 20 contests in the last 18 mon bs, a record that included a third vieto v in succession in the natioral A. A. U. 15- mile test. Agee looks to participa.ion in the 1932 Olympics. By leading the parade of 49 starters yesterday, he made it easy for his elub, the Stonewall Democratic, to win team honors. The Stonewalls had a large representation and took five of the first 11 places for a score of 17. The Ram- sey A. C. of Baltimore was second with 56 points and the Knights of Columbus of Washington thrid with 115. only nine dropped out along the erduous route that was largely uphill. Many thousands viewed the procession of variously clad athletes and cheered then on the way, particularly Agee, whose Thythmic style commanded ad- miration. He scales a gracefully dis- tributed 140 pounds, with a generous portion of leg muscle, and literally bounds along. His only training has been the management of the largest pewspaper route in Baltimore, which gives him opportunity for considerable legwork. He is 23 years old and has been a runner for seven. His family takes a peculiar pride in his Independ- ence day victories. His younger brother was born on July 4 and his| sister on Washington's birthday. Billy | first saw the light of day on Christmas morn. | Event Well Managed. The race was barely under way when Agee emerged from the pack to lead throughout, his stride as strong at the finish 2s at the start. He gave the impression of being able to hold the pace all day. The barefoot Martag, taking short, quick strides, ran a game race and was never more than a 100 yards behind. He represented the Baltimore Cross Country Club and less than a furlong back of him in third place was a fellow member, Eugene | Newton. Two motor cycle policemen, cleared traffic for the runners and otherwise ave excellent service to Richard 8. ennyson, assistant supervisor of play- grounds, who handled the majcr de- tails of a completely successful event, assisted by a member of the playground taff, Harry Helme, former Georgetown University 2-mile star. The field was more than three times as large as last year and last year's was 1wice as large a sthat of 1929 when the was nish: William_Agee (S. % = ollegians). s 5.

C. ortsmen Told ut Poison lvy Tho P an outdoor fan is unfortunate enpugh to acquire a ‘“case” of polson ivy this Summer he'll be bfl-ll‘r off if he does not listen to his !rlends and try all their homemade “'sure-cure remedies,” said the Izaak Walton League in a vacation bulle- tin. The method prescribed by the bulletin is the result of hundreds of experiments conducted by a well known acientist, J. B. McNair. First, injected parts should be washed thoroughly with strong soap and water. Laundry soap is better than plain hand soap. The idea is to remove from the skin as much of the irritating oil of the poison ivy plant as possible. Soap and water will do very well, but washing the infected parts with ether or chloro- form is recommended because the oil of poison ivy is easily 'soluble in these. Next, apply a 5 per cent solution of ferric chloride which has been added to a 50-50 solution of water and alcohol. If you ean’t get the alcohol use the diluted ferric chlo- ride solution. Swab the infected parts thoroughly with cotton soaked m the chloride, and then apply com- presses of the solution to the i fected skin. Keep the pads molst and well bandaged. Renew the ehloride solution at intervals. Ferric chloride or iron chloride can be purchased at most any drug WASHINGT[]N i) WINS GANOE EVENT Unofficial Contest Proves| Mastery Over Potomac and Sycamore Island.

HILADELPHIA, July 4—With a veteran, bald-headed athlete as its leader, the Washington Canoe Club scored a brilliant sweep of all of.the six canoe contests of the People’s Regatta on the Schuyl- kill River this morning, leaving canoe- ists of this section far astern. The veteran was Harry Knight, who with his younger brother, Karl Knight, represented America in the 1924 Olymplcs. Harry Knight played a part in four of the six Washington victories and his brother Karl figured in three of them, for the most complete clean-up ever scored here by one visiting club. ‘The Cacawa Canoe Club, with head- qulru:rs in Tacony, was runner-up in | five of the six races and the Philadel- phia Canoe Club was second in the other event. The Cacawa athletes will hold the national canoe championship later in the Summer. A 15-year-old lad, Le Compt of Bris- tol, Pa, Young Men’s Association, fig- ured 1n the events, taking third in’ tan- dles, when paired with d of that Bflllol club. Although entered in the regatta, none of the canoeists of the Pendleton Canoe Club of New York or of the Po- tomac Canoe Club of Washington ar- rived in time for the races, and the events were run off without them. Washington completed the sweep of the regatta in the day's final canoe event, the quadruple double Mu.lu a hard-fought struggle from sf to fi nosing out :Cacawa by I. lenlth with Philadelphia a close third.

EMORIAL STADIUM, Lin- coln, Nebr., July 4 #.— Percy Beard of the New York Athletic Club, who never before had won a major outdoor track event, today stepped out and knocked two-tenths of a second off Earl Thomson's world mark for the 120-yard high hur- dles in the senio rdivision of the national A. A. U. champonships. Beard, a former Alabama Poly -ln- lete, took sixth place in an N. C. A. high hurdle race several years uu and Jast tied the world indoor record for the 70-yard high hurdles and reached his peak this season. Racing through s light rain on a soaked track, the South- erner conquered the barriers in 14.2 sec- onds, and officials indicated his accom- plishment would be offered for approval 8s & world record. He whipped Jimmy Hatfield, Indiana University star. handily, with Lee Sentman, running for the Illinois A. C., third, and Byron Grant *of - the University of Utah, Set Mark in 1920. ‘Thomson, then at Dartmouth, set his record of 14.4 in 1920, and it was tied by Wennstrom of Sweden in 1929 and by Steve Anderscn of the Univer- sity of Washington in 1930. The team title was won by the Los Angeles A. C., which collected 43 points to 35 for the New York A. C. The Olympic Club of San Francisco took third with 24. and the Washington A. C. of Seattle had 18 and the Illinois A. C. had 12. Four meet records were knocked over during the afternoon. Frank | Wykoff, the country’s premier 100- | yard dash man, whipped a fine field in 95 seconds to set a new seplor standard, while Bob Maxwell of the Los Ante]en A. C. did the low hurdles in 235 seconds for another mark. Eddie Genung of the Washington A. C. raced a half mile in 1:52:6 to aid in_the record-breaking, while Eddie Tolan of Michigan, shoved back to third place in the century, came back to win the 220-yard dash in 21 sec- onds flat. The race was run around a curve and his time was three tenths of a second better than the accepted senior mark set last year by Bob Simp- son of Ohio State University. ‘The mile failed to produce a record, Leo Lermond, veteran luum star, came close to Jole Ray's 4:14:4 in whipping a fast fleld. Gene Venzke, former New York University speedster, raced him every step of the way, and Lermond finished in 4:15. Prank Crowley of the New York A. G was a third, with Prank Lydic, Kearney, Nebr., State Teachers, who won the unior title yesterday, fourth. Ray con%e;d’!o ‘winner, was well back at ‘Wykoff Takes Century. ‘Wykoff left no doubt as to his supe- riority in the Century. He blazed {:Jl of his holes, and at 50 yards was lead- by 3.

Genung ran a corking half mile, fighting for the lead from the start and keeping it when he got it in spite of & hustling chalienge in the stretch by Otto Rosner of the N. Y. A. C. Dale Letts, who defeated Genung in the na- tional collegiate champlonships last month, was third, about 10 yards back. Jesse Mortensen of the Los Angeles A. C. unoficially was credited with 8,177.463 points for the Decathlon, enough to give him a new world record, but the officials in charge of the event would not give out an official verdict. It was Teported that Mortensen's eligi- bility had been questioned. Mortensen has served in the Physical Education Department of Riverside (Calif.) School, and the report said this might cause him to lose his amateur standing. Anderson Ineligible. John Anderson of the Century A. C..
