Base Ball, Wrestling | r FINN SETS RECORD IN'STAR CONTEST Mel Porter Is Runner-up. Ward Third—Dewhurst First D. C. Finisher. | (Continued From First Page.) | strangely enough, did not run while in Finland, but after emigrating to Can- ada, four years ago, he took up distance runn Almost from the start of his distance running career he has been an | outstanding runner. He failed to finish in his first marathon, but yesterday | marked his eleventh start and his sev- enth victory—a wonderful record in a | game where few men can stand the grueling pace that.comes from a pump- ing heart, aching feet and that inner | volce that beckons to the less stout of heart, “why not quit? Is it worth the ‘ effort?” Wore De Bruyn Down. ‘The new champion is 34 years of age, | and weighs about 135 pounds. Sturdy | of leg, and lean of body, he has the | deep chest characteristic of outstanding athletes in any sport where endurance | Dlys dividends. That same endurance | gm his great heart, carried him over | torturing first 12 miles where he ran | neck and neck with De Bruyn lnd‘ finally wore him down. Where De Bruyn staggered across the finish line | in third piace last year, this year he | could not finish. The smooth strides of the gliding Pinnish ghost wore him just as did his first-place battle Bill Agee last year. | Komonen won the Canadian mara- | thon championship in 1931, and was called back home to Finland that year to represent his homeland in the Olym- pics of 1932. But in Pinland he de- \veloped trouble with his legs and was ‘unable to enter the trials. He has little | surplus weight, and in temperament | is modest and cheerful. As he crossed the finish line down there in the El- lipse late yesterday he was breathing | nclmlly. in strange contrast to others | flnnlinlegs barely carried them across the line and who collapsed after the finish. But Komonen wanted | water. He drank nearly two quarts| of water after he finished. As he posed for the photographer a few min- utes later when Col. J. A. Wocdruff,| officer in charge of Public B,uldmgs and Parks, presented him with the tro- | mmm by The Star, the little Finn like & man who had run 100 yards, and not one who had put more | than 26 fast miles under his feet. ‘Wins Local Title. Arthur Dewhurst of the Central Y.| M. C. A. won the Jocal marathon cham- | Ppionship, finishing fifteenth in the good time of 3 hours 38 minutes, 55 seconds. Dewhurst won the District of Columbia championship last year. Virtually from the start, and within 8 few seconds after President William E. Russell of the District Chapter, Amateur Athletic Union, fired the shot which sent the field of 87 runners away from the starting point at Mount Ver- non, it was a two-man race. Komonan took the lead after topping the first hill leading down toward the Potomac, closely pushed by De Bruyn. At the | five-mile mark, winding through the | Virginia hills along the river, they were | | running in this order: Komonen, barely | & pace in front of the sturdy German, De Bruyn: Sloboda, Porter, Martak and Hupal. They were in exactly the same tion at the 10-mile post, which the leaders covered in the good time of 59 minutes, 55 seconds, with the sole ex- oeption of Martak, who dropped back in the ruck and had been replaced by ‘Ward. For those first 10 miles and for the first 15 Komonen and De Bruyn plodded along in that order, De Bruyn barely a step behind the ghost-like Finn. But at the 15-mile post Porter had crept up and was only a few hun- dred yards behind the leaders, followed by Sloboda and Ward in that order. Pawson Forced Out. A chort distance north of Alexandria, Pawson dropped out, the pain of the e ERE even his iron nerve. They swept &Cross the Arlington Memorial Bridge with the smooth-striding Finn and the plodding German running neck and neck. Down into traffic-congested East Potomac Park they ran, winding in and out be- tween automobiles gathered down there around Hains Point to see Washington's greatest athletic spectacle of the year Perhaps down there the fumes from thousands of motors finally got to those iron lungs of De Bruyn _Perhaps it was the pace of the Finn. But whatever it was, De Bruyn dropped out. a worn \austed by the pace which sent n on to vict Down there in the park also Martak decided to call it 8 day. A friend from Baltimore picked up the fallen champion and co him back to the Y. M A. official race headquarters. That left Komonen far in the lead, 200 yards and more in front of Porter, who led Ward by the same margin. They swept up that heart-breaking hill on which sits the United States Capitol, out East Capitol street to Eighth and back west on B street to Pennsylvania avenue in the ssme order. with Porter and Ward un- sble to catch the fyir Sends Greetings to Mother. “Here he comes” a small shrilled above the noise of the throng as Komonen poked his wiry frame sround the last turn of the Ellipse. Put- ting on a final burst of speed he dashed across the finish line to the new course record and the crowning victory of the year among amateur distance runners. A radio nouncer grabbed him. “Hello, mother,” he said. “I'll be home soon.” He sat down on an Army cot, pushed away a solicitous Red Cross nurse and asked for water. And did | he drink water? His thirsty pores lit- | terally ate it up. One of the unusu: tures of the race, the second al marathon sponsored by The Star in Washington, was that several men who had not fig- ured prominent in the pre-race “dope” finished well up, while other more fa- vored performers were back in _the | " (Continued on Pourth Page.) urchin champion—the Monarch A.

A year ago Paul De Bruyn, winner of the famous Boston race, was in- stalled as a favorite in The Star’s first race. He collapsed near the finish and was fortunate to take third place. Yes- terday Leslie Pawson, 1933 Boston champion, was forced to quit with a | bad foot just LhJs side of Alexandria. Marathoning Ls a spicy event if Vl-‘ riety still is chief ingredient. A rank outsider, Clyde Martak, triumphed ln 1932. Yesterday form players had their | day when Dave Komonen, favorite, came through. | Komonen, a shoemaker, but unem- cently in constructing a pair of running | shoes for himself and Dick Wilding, an- | other Canada entrant. To these bro- | gans Wilding, talking for the non- English speaking Finn, attributes much | of the success of both Komonen and himself. Wilding, a member of the Sil- verthorne A. C. of Toronto, finished seventh. Neither pulled up with a single blister. Leslie Pawson’s reluctance to concede ‘himself much of a chance, upon his ar- | rival from Pawtucket, R. I, Friday | night, may be due to the fact he had broken the metatarsal bone in one of his feet while training last Monday. This fact was unknown until one of his training staff broke down and con- fessed after the race. As progmsflglw:s too, these Cana- dians will take a lot of beating.

Komonen might well be mentioned in the same breath with Finland's Nurmis and Ritolas. It was a great day for Finnish ath- letes all around yesterday. Two Finns " (Continued on Fourth Page.)

BY JOHN B. KELLER. T. LOUIS, June 17.—With their biggest inning of the season, the Nationals today got off on the right foot at the start of their second invasion of the Western sector. After two were out in the ninth round they mixed a flock of passes with a flurry of hits to chase across seven runs and take the measure of the Browns, 10 to 3. This increased to six games their longest winning streak of the campaign and kept them within a game and a half of the Yanks, league pace-setters. For eight innings the tussle was a warm left-handed war between Earl Whitehill and Ed Wells with honors e\'ex\ 50 far as runs were concerned, al- though over this stretch the Griffs got seven safeties and no passes off Wells, while the Browns got six hits and three walks off Whitehill. Cronin’s men twice had bunched | blows to tally while the Browns, after Carl Reynolds had poled a home run in m«- sixth, stepped out in the seventh to ull up to a tie with scores gleaned !mm a brace of two-baggers, a sacrifice |and a long fly. HE outlook was not so bright for the Nationals in the ninth when Joe Kuhel, trying to sacrifice, rurced aut Fred Schulte, who had drawn pass from Wells and Ossie \B’luege followed with a pop to the first | baseman. Right after that, however, the Washington offensive got under way in full force with Manager Joe Cronin rushing reserves into action and, after it was too late, Manager Bill Killefer sending the right-handed hill veteran, Sam Gray, to the rescue of Wells. Bluege's WE‘ was followed by a single | by Luke Sewell, the blow sending Kuhel | to third base. Sam Rice was hurried in to do Sewell’s running and Dave Harris | was ordered to take Whitehill’s place at the plate. Greatly respeeting Harris’ ability as {a pinch-hitter against south \ Wells purposedly gave the sheriff a | base-filling pass and not taking a chance with Harris brought about the undoing | of the Browns’ boxman. | For Cronin crossed the home side by sending up the right-hand-swinging Joe Boken in place of the left-hand-batting Buddy Myer. T was Boken who twice put the skids under the Browns in a series the Nationals had here in Xfay, and again the substitute pushed them to de- feat. After deliberately walking Harris, the St. Louis slabman could not find the plate with Boken up and the re- sultant unintentional walk shoved Kuhel across the counting with the score that broke the deadlock. ‘Then Heinie Manush singled to tally Rice and Harris. Goose Goslin clouted for a base to send in Boken and there was a mob again on the runwly when Cronin got a free ticket to first base. That eliminated Wells and broutht Gray to the pitching peak. Up came Schulte for the second time in the in- ning to single to deep short, and Ma- nush rumbled home. Kuhel hit a bounder to the first baseman and it was good for a single | when Joe dusted to the base a step ahead of Gray, who crossed to take a | throw. That scored Goslin easily and wide-awake Cronin also scored from the middle base as Gray was a trifie slow in starting a throw to the | catcher. Along came Bluege to rap a smart one that Jim Levey corraled in deep short and but for a great throw by Jim that got an eyelash decision over Ossie the Nationals might still have been moving around the Sportsman’s Park runway. HERE was no fight left in the Browns after that maltreatment. They were marks for Jack Russell |in the ninth. Two of them rolled to | Cronin. Then Garms, who picked up | Gray's bat, put up an easy one for | Schulte. After Wells had been troublesome ds, the Nationals opened {on him in the fourth as though they would get him off the slab quickly. Manush singled, Goslin and Cronin doubled and two runs were hung up. Wells braced suddenly, however, and permitted no more liberties with his pitching until the sixth inning when Manush's single and Cronin’s second two-bagger were good for another mgx;l](e" e Browns began countering in sixth with Reynol ?ds homer and matg: it all even in the seventh. Then Levy and Irving Shea whistled doubles down | the left field line, both drives just get- ting the corner of the third base to | become fair. Well's sacrifice followed Shea’s hit and the tieing tally crossed | after Manush bagged Scharein’s loft. Homer Standing By the Associatéd Press.
