Stanford’s Hopes of Taking Track Crown Declared to Rest With Injured Stars COACH UPSET OVER EASTMAN, MILER Fears Middle-Distance Ace and Pole-Vault Champ _May Not Score. L4 | | BRIDGE. - T, LET's sec—| DEALT AND | BID FOUR SPADES BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. AMBRIDGE, Mass, May 26.—Stanford’s chances of justifying the position of favorite in the track and field battle for intercollegiate A. A. A. A. championships, starting with the qualifying trials today, apparently hinged upon the abil- ity of two disabled stars to come through—Capt. Ben Eastman, middle distance ace, and Bill Miller, the Olympic pole vault champion. Despite the general conviction that the Indians can recapture the team title from Southern California and the best the East has to offer without winning performances by either Eastman or Miller, R. L. (Dink) Templeton, Stan- ford coach, was pessimistic. “With all our men in first-class shape, I would not hesitate to pick our team to win,” said Templeton today, “but as it stands now we will .need every point we can get. Eastman has had only one race since the start of the season, and I will be surprised if he qualified in the 800 meters, the only event he will enter. Even if he qualified, I may be rorced to pull him out, rather than run UNNeCessary to his future, Mlller has a bld nnkle—rortummy not. the one on which he takes off in the pole vault—but it will slow him up and make it tough for him to place in a field that includes the best vaulters in the world.” JALS this afternoon in Harvard Stadium in 11 of the 15 champion- ship events, starting at 1 p.m, '(Eastern standard time), were expected to give a definite line on the relative strength of Stanford and U. 8. C. Yale ‘was regarded the strongest of 30 East- ern entries, but the best the Elis could hope for was third place, barring some spectacular upsets. Use of the metric system of measure- ment for track events, for the first time in the 57-year history of the meet, as- sured the establishment of a flock of new records, but also has aroused the ire of a big majority of the coaches. At a stormy meeting last night the Track Coaches’ Association voted, 22 to 3, against meters and in favor of the old g « gy i 3 pe track circles, charged the metric system. was “railroaded”’ through the I.

HEY may be & pain in the neck to Central, but they're cousin Teddles to Tech, those Roose- velt base ballers. For Rposevelt, which previously had not shown s0 much in the public high series, yesterday turned in as neat & victory over Central as you could want. The Ruf Riders, with chunky Frank Baron! pitching, humbled the Blue, 2-1, in a fine 10-inning game, Claude Cowan, who went the route for Cen- tral, also pitched cleverly. Each al- lowed four hits. Two errors, one by himself, cost Cowan the decision. Roosevelt's victory assures Tech the flag. Even should the Riders defeat Tech in their game scheduled Monday (it may be postponed), the latter would still be the champion, as it has lost no games, while winning three. Central and Eastern, each with two wins and two defeats, has finished series play, as has Western, with one victory against three losses. OOSEVELT'S winning run in the tenth came when, with one down, Garner walked, took second on an infield out, went to third when Cowan fumbled and scored as Raub mussed up Wcher’s grounder. Each team scored one marker in the first. Central counted as Lefty Chum- bris walked, went to second on an error and counted on Bill Bryant's single.

The contest was scheduled for last Saturday, but was postponed. The main feature of the day will be a golf match between Democrats and Republicans’ but there are a number of subsidiary features, in- cluding a match play against par con- test, an 18-hole medal play tourney and other golf affairs. A dinner at Burning Tree in the ‘evening will wind up the day. 8ix golfers from Washington were playing today in the first flight of the Baltimore Country Club invitation tour- ney, with four more entrants from the Capital scattered through the lower flights. Led by Harry G. Pitt of the Manor Club, winner of the tourney for the past two years, who captured the qualifying medal yesterday with scin- tillating 73, the Washington contingent may well completely dominate the tour- ney, for they are weli scattered through the draw. Indeed it would not be sur- prising to zee sn all-Washington final tomorzow. Pitt played cne of his mun consistent rounds of golt yesterday to win the medal with a card three above the par of the course, matcl par on 15 of the 18 holes and only Root defeated | man ‘Tynan of Georgetown wi 81, met Talbot T.

Miss Didrikson, who makes no secret of her championship aspira- tions, is going in earnest about the some. On the last nine holes she got & 42, 6 over par, the best score of her career.

Pitt is the outstanding favorite to win. L HOUGHTON, Kenwood pro, Was far down the list with a first round card of 78, as the Metro- politan open championship swung into its second round today over the Winged Foot course at Mamaroneck, N. Y. At that, Houghton led a lot of better known pros, for the scores in the open- ing round were mn John M.

Downey beat the mmd mwey in the first flight final by 3 and 2, going into the lead at the hole and never being headed by the North Carolinian. He scored a 33 on the A course, played as the first nine with the aid of three birdies and needed two 4s for a 71 when the match ended. PFinal rounds in the other flights were scheduled for today.
