SFORTS United States Figures to Take Majority of Track and Field Events in YANKEES FAVORED IN 10 OF 18 TILTS Finns Picked in Three and, Japanese in Two—Others Scattered Among Trio. w[ BY LAWRENCE PZRRY. | EW YORK, July 13.—With| the final track and field tests for the Olympic| games set for the coming week end. it is timely to make prophecy concerning the probable make-up of the American team in the Olympiad and, as well, to e our athletes with candi- t the various events from other parts of the world For the 100 and 200 meters, our leader 1s likely to be Ralph Metcalfe of Mar- quette, who has surpassed record per- formancss many_times this year. Be- hind him come Tolan of Michigan, an- other colored boy, and Kiesel of Cali- fornia. After them will come Wykoff | of Southern California, who, although fast. is an unreliable performer. Top- pino of New Orleans and Simpson of ©Ohio round out a classy list While Germany will send three sprinters of real ability and Great Britain at least one, the outlook is very bright for an American victory in the | sprints | Ben Eastman of Stanford stands out | almost in a class by himself in the 400- | meter event and he will be well sup-| ported by William Carr of Penn, Carl Warner of Yale and Bowen of New York U. Foreign stars to be reckoned | with are Wilson of Canada, Strandwell | of Finland, Noller of Germany and| Rampling of England. But Eastman| should win by yards unless some un- foreseen accid: t occurs. | HE 800-meter again finds Eastman as our chief reliance, with Bull- | winkle of New York A C. and Hallowell of Harvard close to him. The | invaders in this event will be led by| Sera Martin, France. Hampson, EDg- land and Beceali. Italy. The race should go to the United States of Amer- | Rico, defeated Sammy Slaughter, TeITe | pojieved that the Bouin result of 11 ica. | For the first time in years we have a | really strong field to pit against the Finns in the 1,500 meters and we should Win the event. Venzke, the schoolboy, | Cunningham of Kansas and Brooksmith | of Indiana are our entrics | Again we have found strength in the | 3.000-meter steeplechase. While Lieut. | George Lermond of the Army is popu- | larly hailed because of his recent feat in breaking the world record, he did this over 2-foot 6-inch hurdles, whereas | in the Olympics he will have to clear 3-foot obstacles. Joe McClusky of Fordham will be apt to beat him under Olympic conditions. with Highley of the Naval Academy and Pritchard of Ham- fiton College close aboard For the first time, also, we are able to offer first-class runners in the 5,000 meters, with Shugert of Miami, Brock- smith of Indfana and Baker of New | first and second in their great specialty, the hop, step and jump. IN the pole vault we have but to choose among Brown, Yale; Miller, Stanford; Graber, Southern Califor- nia; Beecher, Indiana; Seeley, Illinois; Barnes, Los Angeles; ‘Warne, North- western: Wonowitz, Ohio State; Poole, California, and Lee, Sturdy, Thompson and Pierce of Yale to be certain of the first three places Sexton, Rhea and Brix in the shot ut should hold off the challenge of Douda, the Czech; Hirschfeld, the Ger- man, and Duyrani, the Hungarian. We may confidently look for a new Olympic record in the shot put. There should pe a new one in the discus, too, as Remeoz of Hungary has a mark of 166 feet 8 inches and Noel of France 162 feet 33; inches. Anderson of New York has been doing a bit over 160 feet and Jones of Stanford and Crowley of vale have been flirting with that mark. TPLE hammer throw, McDougal of Penn. Connor of Yale, Johnson of Boston, Zaremba of New York, Rusneck of New York and Malin of Yale can hardly hope to beat Callaghan of Ireland, who is now in great form. Sweden has Skold, with a mark of 171 feet 8'4 inches.

N 1926 I ran the—for American conditioris—fairly seldom used dis- | tance of 3,000 meters in 8:20:4. I hold this record as one of my very best, and its value is increased by the fact that I achieved this result in a severe duel with Wide. The 2-mile record for _open-air | tracks, which held good up to last Sum- mer, for instance, cannot even be com- | pared with it. The 2-mile record was, of course, lowered considerably last Summer. ~ Helped by pacemakers 1— just on the threshold of old age—man- aged to do it in 8:59. That is not any | brilliant achievement, but it 1is just| worth mentioning. “In the pink of | | condition” I might have been able to| do it in 8:50 or 8:52 perhaps. A | "In one respect 1 have been as care- | less as all other great men in the his- | | tory of athletics—I have not. worried | about polishing up my records. and bringing them as far down as posaible while there still was time and pos- sibilities. HE opinion in Europe is that the 5,000-meters world record, 14:28.2, was something of an uitra-class ind. But that is not the case, irre- spective of the fact that only Ritola and 1 have gone under 14:30. We might both have done better. Besides, the present record came about without my knowing it. During the actual run- | ning T had no idea of my time at the intermediary stages. If I had only | known, when running, the times for | the separate rounds, I should certainly | have forced my speed. The present 10-kilometer record is| more of a fluke than the result of a| purposeful run. The record was run| |in our lovely town of Kuoplo. Before the match I had had a bad attack of Jumbago a week before. Ritola and | Wide consider the result, 30:06:2, as| | one of the best of my achievements, | together with the record for the hour’s run. Others have not come anywhere near | it for the simple reason that they do }no( hold out high speed for the whole | distance. It may be that the 10-kilo- | | meter record, together with the record { for the hour’s run, will keep my name | remembered for the longest time, pro- | vided I am not stimulated to test my strength seriously on the marathon. Some 15 to 16 years ago I seriously | miles 1,442 yards for one hour was not | |to be relied upon. I was of the opinion | that the Frenchman had been given an | extra round gratis. | 'HEN in London a couple of years ago I came to talk with old man | | George and the former well known | | miler, the sports editor of the News of the World, Joe Blink. They both said that they considered my record for the hour's run as one of the best| running results of the world, but they added that if I could last for the re-| maining 100 yards, or thus run the full 12 miles, that record would be hors concours. In times gone by I could | have done this—perhaps still. In any | | case, it is absolutely certain that 12 | miles will be run vet in the hour, per- | haps even a yard or two more. But 10 men will have run the | before that, under 4:10. LOS ANGELES.—Speedy Dado, Phil- | mile STAR, D. C., WEDN.

ET us refresh our memory.

Etcetera. There are plenty of examples. The Japanese and the Finns lost their chances in the marathon run of Antwerp by running one another in the beginning to the point of choking. My compatriot Sten- Toos, Who won in the Parisian games, can thank his power or rationing his speed while the match lasted. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. HARLES D.

BEHIND HAMPSON French Fear Englishman in| 400—Say American Has Competed Too Much. By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, July 13—Sera Mar- tin and Jean Keller, middle- distance runners both, appear to be the class of the track and field section of the French Olympic team. | Martin, who campaigned here sev- eral years ago with some success, prob- ably will concentrate on the 400 meters | while Keller’s principal objective is the 800-meter title. his_arrival here yesterday with the the 62 other members of the in- vading French delegation, Martin in- dicated that the man he feared most in the metric equivalent of the quar- ter-mile was not Big Ben Eastman, but | the Englishman, Tom Hampson. S+ FTVHIS fellow Eastman,” Martin sald, “Ah, he is the man we must all beat in the 400 meters, but let me warn you, England is sending over a great quarter-miler named Hampson. In that last 100 yards . . .| poof . . . he is gone.” | Hampson genetally has been regard- ed as a more formidable contender at 800 meters than 400. in which George Rampling is English champlon, but Martin evidently believes Hampson is| | more to be feared. | | Martin was wondering, too, whether | or not Eastman would be in shape by |the time the Olympic games open | July 30. “HE must be careful” the Prench- | man said. “He is running too much. We have been reading | about him in Prance. For four months | he races every week.

OWN in Baltimore, Md., the city that has turned out more good bantams, feathers and lightweights than apy other city its size, there is & young man, Andy Kwasnik by name, who is employed occasionally as a ship's carpenter. He was worth a heap of money at one time, but lost it all on poor in- vestments and now he picks up what little he can by plying the trade into which he was apprenticed before he took up boxing. You probably never heard of a fighter by this name, but if you're a dyed-in-the-wool fan, you've heard plenty of a great little Baltimore scrapper called Andy Chaney. Well, Chaney and Kwasnik are one and the same person. When Andy was in his prime, only a few years ago, he was a terror among the featherweights and junior light- weights. In fact, so good was he. that after he had twice whipped Johnny Kilbane in overweight matches, the feather king refused to have anything more to do with him and wouldn't give Chaney an op- portunity to fight for the crown. That's how good Kilbane thought Andy was. . Besides whipping Kilbane twic Chaney whipped Joe Tiplitz, Ha: Kid Brown, Johnny Murray, Garold Farese, Pete Herman, Jack Sharkey, Bobby Michaels, Artie O'Leary. Billy De Foe, Jack Kid Wolf, Danny Frush, Tommy Noble, Jimmy Good- rich, Dutch Brandt, Eddie Kud Wagner, Johnny Shugrue and Bob- by Garcia—all good boys. He par- ticipated in 157 bouts and scored more than 60 knockouts. Recently Andy applied for a license to resume boxing. (Copyright, 1932.)
