Jack *Lovelock in the great | “National Metropolitan, 8; Second Na- mile event at the Princeton in- | vitation meet here late tomorrow aft- | ket ernoon will have to run three-quarters in 3 minutes flat This is the schedule which the Oxonian New Zealander has set for | the first three stages of the race, nndl his trainer and compePent critics be- | lieve he has an excellent chance of | meeting it, provided weather and track conditions are right. | What will happen in the last quar- ter may not be said. A world record, surely; at least so the track wise- acres hereabouts believe. Invader Is General Choice. F\'ERY ONE is picking Lovelock to “ win the race, whether or not he hangs up A new world record. Never was a runner in more superb form. never was an athlete in better mood. If he is beaten, the dope is that Bill Bonthron will be the man to turn the trick. Sounds a bit queer, doesn't it. what with Glenn Cunning- ham in the event. But Bonny is going awfully fast these days. Theory is that Cunningham. with all his ex- pended energy last Winter, cannot stand the pace of the first three- quarters and that Bonthron has a chance to do so. 8o the order of finish in the mile, as it is now being called in the Palmer tadium, is Lovelock, Bonthron, Cun- migham, with Venzke fourth by a hundred yards and the other two en- trants trailing. This you may take or leave, as you see fit, always re- membering that athletic prognostica- tions often are made to look terribly bad when an event is actually under- way. Sees Swimming as Aid. OU get some interesting stuff when you talk to a champion, chiefly because his point of view is apt to be so different from that of the ordinary run of athletes ‘The talk was about a runner swim- ming. American trainers have always held that it is bad because it takes the kick out of a fiyer, lets him all down for running “That is funny.” Lovelock said. “Last Bummer I swam all the time. Once after a swim I went into a meet and did the mile in 4:14 and a week later, after another long swim, I did 4:13." All of which merely shows that what is sauce for a champion is not sauce for the athlete on a lower level. See Pole Vault Record. 'A LL coaches and trainers here feel pretty sure that world records will be turned in not only in the mile, but in the pole vault, in which the two greatest sky toppers in the world, Keith Brown and Bill Graber of Southern California, are entered. Moving pictures show that in rais- | 14 feet 5 and a| ing the record to fraction inches at the intercollegiate meet, Brown might well have estab- lished a half-rising figure. In trying for 14 feet 7 inches, the Yale man's body is pictured on the film as 9 jnches above the bar. which was knocked down by his left foot as the vaulter was righting himself for the descent. Maybe he will be more care- ful Saturday. As for the quarter mile, even with Ben Eastman not present, Laval of Ucla and O'Brien of Syracuse are ex- pected to burn the track. Matty Geis, | Princeton’s trainer, says the quarter will be run nearer 46 than 47 and Tom Keane of Syracuse says nearer 47 than 46. So take your pick.

I ESS than 200 persons turned out to watch Bill Tilden play tennis yesterday and today Big Bill probably regrets that even that many learned of the last-minute switch to go through with the original plans and play the exhibition matches at Kenwood Country Club as first scheduled. For those of you who missed it, he and his crowd are re- peating their performance this after- noon at the same place, beginning at 4:30 pm. Tilden and his rambling racketers in Washington and yesterday was the day. Then, whep it rained Wednes- day night, the match was postponed until today. But yesterday, upon the was decided to go Few fans learned of | after noon, it | through with it the decision Tilden lost one of the few matches | he has ever dropped in Washington. | In fact, he lost more than one, he lost | two. He was defeated in two out of three sets by Martin Plaa, 5—7, 6—4, 6—4 and then he fared no better against the same player when each of them took on a partner for the dou- bles. Tilden played with Robert Ra- millon and Plaa took Alfred Chapin | as a teammate. The latter pair won the match in straight sets, 6—2, 6—1. Play Flashy Tennis. ‘TILDEN and Plaa exhibited plenty | of top-notch tennis. There was | nothing about the general play that | left anything to be desired by those who came expecting to see tennis played .as it should be played. But | the fact remained that none of the | scattered crowd expected to see the Old Master lose. | “For the most part, neither of the pair overexerted themselves. While | they put on a sparkling show, return- ing hot drives, picking up would-be base-line placements and showing a | backhand that left nothing to the imagination, they nevertheless refused to chase after or become winded by attempting to get drives which each placed far out of the standing place of the other. Even the presence of the Russian Ambassador, Alexander Troyanovsky, | failed to excite them and they played calmly like the professionals they are. BATTLE AT BALLSTON. Ballston A.

Husky Hamilton Pish, Rep- resentative from the Empire State | and earlier in his life one of Harvard's gifts to the roll of all-America foot ball players, provided the first upset of the city of Washington tourna- ment yesterday when he led his team- mate, Bill Breese, another son of fair Harvard, in a stunning setback to the No. 3 doubles team of the tournament, putting Prank Shore and Ricky Willis out of the running, 2—6, | 8—6, 6—4. But that wasnt all. Not content with having put out of competition | the third most favored team during the bright morning hours at Columbia Country Club, Pish and Breese re- turned to action in the evening and when the moon was shining high in | the sky were still going strong. In| | fact, their second-round match with | | Spriggs and Stocklinski was all tied | |up at 6—6 in the second set, when | { darkness forced the unwilling-to-quit | Representative to cease activities. Pish and the left-handed Breese took a | marathon first set, 11—9. By the time you read these lines the match will be over, as it was to | be finished this morning. . | " Fish did not provide the lone upset of the day, though. Hugh Lynch, seeded Ne. 5 in the singles, set just as many tongues a-wagging with his 7—5, 6—1 | defeat of Tony Latona, the No. 1 player of the tournament, as the Rep- resentative and his brother Crimsonite were to start with their sensations. The acme of consistency, Lynch tool Latona in stride and demonstrated to all thut his first year of competition in this city might be the last of the hopes of some District of Columbia veterans. | Lynch's feat followed his previous defeat the day before of Don Garber | in straight sets and leaves him as a distinct menace to Bud Markey when | they meet in the semi-finals at § o'clock this afternoon. | In the other semi-finals match, | which, incidentally, will not be played | until tomorrow, Dooly Mitchell, now | heavy favorite to take the title, will| meet Frank Shore, who played & whale of a game to trim Ralph Mc- Elvenny yesterday in a three-set match After scoring in the first set, 6—3, Shore dropped the second by the same score and then came the longest sin- gles match of the tournament to date.
