SPORTS: UNDERDOG IN OTHER JUMPING CONTESTS ] | | THIS MAKES UP FOR MY 8Ap LUC N 1928 | —z — Cator of Haiti Is Favorite in Broad and Japanese in Hop, Step. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. OS ANGELES, July 26.—In L the Olympic field sports, calling for more agility than sheer brawn, the United States still has a decided edge, although it is a curious develop- ment that now finds Japan and the little island of Haiti contribut- ing two of the world’s foremost long-jumpers to the international athletic party. American ocoaches regard the pole | vauli and the running high jump as “cinches” for Uncle Samuel's entries. Japan figures to capture the hop, step and jump again, with probably three star contenders. Southern California’s Dick Barber alone seems to have much chance to stop either or both of the men who have exceeded 26 feet in the broad jump—Sylvio Cator of Haiti and Chuhei Nambu of Japan. 'HE Olympic pole vault seems merely a vehiclé for the renewal of the California _ rivalry between Bill Graber of U. S. C. and Bill Miller of Stanford. Miller broke the world record once and Graber twice in the final U. 8. trials before hoisting himself over the bar at 14 feet 43 inches. It was the first time Graber had beaten Miller since their school days, but the South- ern Californian is favored to repeat. All three of the American high Jumpers bettered the Olympic record of 6 feet 6 inches in the final trials. The favorite is New York’s George Spitz, holder of the world indoor record of 6 feet 81, inches, but\he will have to beat the pair with whom he tied at Palo Alto—Bob Van Osdel of Southern California and Cornelius Johnson, Los Angeles high school boy. 5 There is not a single foreign entry of note or conspicuous prowess in either the high jump or pole vault. O Louisiana boys, Sidney (Snakey) Bowman and Rolland Romero, youngest athlete on the American track and field team, have a good chance to score in the hop, step and jump. Bow- man is an experienced competitor, ca- pable of bettering 49 feet, but the Jap- anese have an edge if they are up to form. Besides the Olympic champlon, Mikio ©Oda, who has been out of competition | for scme time with a pulled muscle, Japan relies on Nambu and Oshima. Oda has cleared more than 51 feet, bet- tering the world record. The third American is Sol Furth of New York, who replaced Levi Casey of Los Ange- les, 1928 Olympic runner-up, on the U. S. team. Barber's_running mates in the broad jump are Ed Gordon of Iowa and Lam- berl Redd of Bradley Tech, Illinois, both consistently capable of clearing over 25 feet LEAD IN COLORED LEAGUE Shields, Arrows Top Junior Class, 01d-Timers Head Seniors.

McCALLUM. { UDGED by the way the boys are ! burning up the course of the | Columbia Country Club in ad- vance of the qualification rounds | for the Professional Golfers’ Associa- tion championship there’s going to be | some hot golf out there next Thursday when some 30 professionals will load themselves down with pencils and score cards and play 36 holes to decide the four men who will represent this sector in the championship at St. Paul | next month. | Today is the last day for practice | before Thursday and pairings are to be | made tonight and will be published | tomorrow. the Middle Atlantic P. G. A., says there will be somewherc between 25 and 30 pros hunting for a place in the quartet of qualifiers. A brace of 69s, any number of 728 and 73s and all sorts of scores a stroke or two higher were marked up yester- day, as most of the men who will play on Thursday slashed the ball around that lengthy Columbia course, not as long as it will be on Thursday, but plenty long enough for even your long- est siugger. Fred McLeod says Colum- bia will not be a long course as courses go these days for championships, but | just the same it will measure 6,470 | yards, which is plenty of length. | ° Al Houghton, the Kenwood pro, play- |ing with “Dutch” Irwin and Buddy Tew, | walloped the ball around the Columbia layout in 69 strokes, getting out in 36 and home in 33 for & score one better than par. But along came Walter W. “Red” Cunningham a few minutes later to tie this mark with a card which read 35—34—69. Archie Clark of Congres- sional did himself a 73 and Billy Malloy of Columbia, playing with Fred Mc- Leod, shot & 72 in a match in which McLeod and Malloy lost on the eight- eenth hole to Ralph Beach and Sandy Armour when Freddie's chip shot for a 3 stopped on the lip of the cup. An- other turn and the ball would have dropped in to square the match. Glenn Spencer and Warner Mather came over from Baltimore, and Spencer, hitting the ball a tremendous distance from the tee, whacked it around in 71. Mather scored a 74. So the boys, view- ing these practice scores, are predicting it will take 146 or better to qualify for the P. G. A. tournament. They all want to play in that tourney, forait is one of the few big events of the year where the competitor is sure of a slice of money if he qualifies. Unlike the national open, where the expenses of travel must be borne by the player himself, he is assured in the P. G. A. of a plece of change the moment he quali- fies. And the further he goes in the match play rounds the bigger will be his collection. ITH 64 entries already in the hands of the United States Golf Asso- | ciation for the qualifying rounds for the national amateur championship, the closing date tonight is expected to | find nearly 90 players from this section entered for the 36-hole test at Chevy Chase on August 16.

A common fault is to take it away from the body so that it points into space. It should point toward the ground, as the right elbow of Mac- Donald Smith, a very great iron player, is doing in the accompany- ing sketch. Checking over other details of his arm position at the top, you will note that his right elbow is about elbow as it would 25 close to the le: be when addressing the ball; that both _elbows are about on a plane parallel to the ground, and that the two forearms are nearly parallel, All this makes for compactness and for control, balance and firm- ness in‘taking the club from the backswing into the downswing. “I'm helpless when it comes to long iron shots.” How many times have heard this?

A—13 lFight Against Giving I A. A.F. | Power to Control Athletes May Get Nurmi Into Games By the Associated Press. | 0S ANGELES, July 26—Strong | opposition has developed to Fin- | } land’s efforts to reinstate Paavo | Nurmi, star distance runner, in | time to permit his fourth participation | in the Olympics. | Stern as the Nurmi fight is certain | | to be, in effect it will be secondary to the battle within the International| Amateur Athletic Federation over the | power of its council to suspend an ath- lete or nation arbitrarily for alleged violation of amateur rules. The effort to reinstate Nurmi is sched- | | uled to take place Friday. He was| | charged with receiving money outside the sums covering his expenses and for | which he had receipts during a tour of five German cities in September and | | October, 1931. The runner specifically | deniea each itemized charge. ! | ““Executives of the I. A. A F., led by | J.'S. Edstrom of Sweden, in seeking a | change in the rules to cover specifically | their suspension of Nurmi last April, | have run into strong opposition, in | which the United States has joined. “It is the League of Nations all over again,” declared Frederick W. Ruibien of New York, veteran American delegate to the federation. “This country de- | clined to bind itself to an international group, endangering freedom of individ- ual Gecision and action. The Amateur Athletic Union takes the same attitude in regard to the I. A. A. F.” Defeat of the proposed rules chun§e,‘ Finland's delegates hold, automatically | will mean the reinstatement of Nurmi, inasmuch as this would leave Finland | as the final authority in the case. The | Finns already have cleared Paavo and repeatedly demanded his suspension be revoked. EO SEXTON, New York A.

Jimmy Ball, the Winnipeg quarter- miler who was runner-up to Ray Bar< buti in the Olympic 400 at Amsterdam, may not be able to run here, due to a bad leg and carbuncle. THE rest of the world's high hurdlers can expect to stand by and watch Uncle Sam'’s entries place one, two, three in the 110-meter event of the tenth Olympiad, barring the unforeseen. This is the opinion of Bob Simpson, a former world record holder in both high and low barrier events, and mem- ber of the United States international team of 1920. Simpson, now coaching at Towa State College, took a squint at Jack Keller, George Saling and Percy Beard yester- day and pronounced them very good. He turned a weather eye on the 400- meter hurdles and shook his head. Simpson is of the opinion that Amer- ica cannot expect a great deal of its 400-meter hurdlers. “Morgan Taylor is | the best of the lot, but he doesn't have the speed and finish which carried him to victory in the 192¢ games in 52.6 seconds.” Lord David Burghley of Great Brit- ain, winner of the low-hurdle grind in 1928 and considered among the fa- vorites, refused to comment on the sible outcome of the race when he rh'eld ye'xterdzy. “I'm just a young fellow myself, onl: 27, you know, he taid, “but I nave seen enough of competition not to make any prediction.” The young nobleman said :;e!wl::"mgderu};g from a “bit of a cold,” uf leved the warm sun would bake it out all right. He classes L. Facelli of Italy as his chief opponent. LOTT IS EASY WINNER.
