'SPORTS SECTION he Sunday Star Z;velock_ CUNNNGHAMENDS THRD N’ CLASSIC Bonthron Also Overhauls Kansan Near Finish—No l Marks in Meet. BY ALAN GOULD. Assoctated Press Sports Editor. RINCETON, N. J. June 15— The slim, curley-haired boy! from far-off New Zealand, John | Edward (Jack) Lovelock, hand- | ed every one but old Pop Time a| handsome beating today as the| shadows crept over the sun-baked | home stretch of the Tiger track and | upward of 35.000 shirt-sleeved specta- | tors roared tremendous acclaim. | Reasserting his supremacy over the world’s greatest milers, after a two-| vear interval, Lovelock captured the widely-heralded “Mile of the Century” under wraps. He failed to come even close to record time, but he sprinted | down the stretch to break the tRDE| 10 yards in front of Princeton's Bill Bonthron, whose roaring finish carried | him to second place. 2 yards ahead of | the great Glenn Cunningham, holder | of all world records for the classic | distance. Lovelock’'s time was 4 minutes | 11.2 seconds, far short of the mark which it had expected would be pro- | duced by a gathering of the world’s | fastest milers. It was a big disap- | pointment to the crowd. On the same track two years ago the New Zealander | had scored an epic triumph over | Bonthron in the record time of 4:07.6. | Last year and in the same place Cun- | ningham raced to a new mark of 4:06. ‘This still stands. Lovelock Wins Going Away. OVELOCK, after dogging Cunning- | ham's footsteps with an easy trot for nearly three-quarters of a mile, | Won going away, with a broad grin on | his face as he looked back over his shoulder. He stepped away from the great Kansan as they came out of the last turn, 100 yards from home. There never was any doubt about the out- come from there on. Whether he was affected by the heat or merely not up to his best, Cunningham faded as he has rarely done in the stretch. Princeton rooters got their biggest thrill when Bonthron, making what he said was hiz farwell to foot-racing competition, came on with a char- | acteristic burst of speed. “Bonny” ' had appeared to falter on the back astretch. He lost a dozen yards after sticking to the heels of Cunningham and Lovelock most of the way. Then he came on again. Down the stretch he came, galloping, to overhaul the tiring Cunningham. Allen Fast in Hurdles. "THE nearest to a world record per- formance in Princeton’s second | annual all-star invitation meet, con- | ducted before one of the biggest | crowds ever to witness an Eastern meet, came in the 120-yard high hurdles. Sam Allen, a youthful grass- | hopper from Oklahoma Baptist Uni- | versity, skipped over the barriers in | 143 seconds. This was within one-tenth second | of the world record. The Western | Union time clock registered 14 flat | and several watches caught Allen in sub-record figures, but the officials came with 143 as their consensus after a prolonged ‘“huddle.” | Allen finished & yard in front of Alvin Moreau of the Marksville (La.) | K. of C. and nearly 2 yards ahead | of Percy Beard of the New York A. C., holder of the world record and the national champion. It was one of the few setbacks Beard has suf- fered anywhere in years. ‘The biggest surprise and the most thrilling conquest of the six events came in the 440-yard run. It was| won in the last half dozen strides by ' Eddie O'Brien, Syracuse sophomore, with a dazzling spurt that carried | him out of a fourth-place pocket, around all rivals and to the tape in | 47.3 seconds, with a 2-yard margin over the favorite, Glenn (Slats) Hardin of Louisiana State. | | Mile Start Is Slow. | HE rest of the six-man field was | nowhere in the mile. Gene Venzke of Pennsylvania, fourth, was 20 yards behind Cunningham, and Glen Dawson of Tulsa, Okla., who set the first-lap pace, finished fifth.| Joe Mangan, former Cornell captain, | dropped out on the last lap. | After the slow first quarter, Cun- | ningham stepped up the pace briskly, | but the world record was never in much danger. Lovelock, much the best, looked capable of doing the | distance several seconds faster, but he | did not choose to do any pace-setting. | ‘The times for the quarters were 64.9, | 60.8, 63.2 and 62.3 seconds. | O'Brien, an Atlantic City, N.

EW YORK, June 15.—Edwin C. “Alabama” Pitts, who has been barred from playing on the Albany team in the In-| ternational League because he served | a term at Sing Sing, saw his first big league baseball game today-—snd had his first experience in radio broad- casting. - Pitts, sitting in a private box with Warden Lewis E.

By the Associated Press. B and Adrian Quist salvaged the doubles out of the wreck of Aus- tralia’s Davis Cup tennié hopes today. but all signs pointed to their elimination by Germany tomorrow. Crawford and Quist defeated Hans Denker and K. A. J. Lund, 6—1, 11—9, 6—3. The Australians haven't figured how they can sweep tomor- row’s matches and thus qualify for the European zone finals against either Czechoslovakia or South Africa. Gottfried von Cramm, German singles ace, is figured a certain win- ner over Vivian McGrath. If von Cramm wins it will not matter how Heiner Henkel, second-string German player, fares against Crawford in the other match. Germany holds a two- !to-one lead. The series has five matches.

He belted three homers, twice with | the bases loaded, to tie the score, and once with two mates abroad. “He is,” declared a voice be- longing to a Washington pitcher, “the toughest gent in the business to get out when the pressure is on.” Eatl Whitehill, the rotund port- | sider who has been pitching regularly {n the big leagues for 11 years, nodded. “But of them all” he added, | “Jimmy Foxx is the greatest.” | ¢\ \/HY? sSimple, He can do more things.” “I don't remember Kling and Archer and that bunch, but to me | Foxx is the greatest catcher base | | ball has ever produced.

At midnight tonight the deadline fell on the buying and trading among major league clubs, thus removing all possibility of the Na- tionals getting a much-needed big- time pitcher.

Two slender high hurdlers, Phil | Cope and Roy Staley, running a dead heat, flashed over the tall timbers in 142 seconds to tie a four-year-old world mark, while the Trojan mile relay combination shaved two-tenths of a second off the accepted world record in the baton passing event. rushing through their paces in 3 minutes 12.4 seconds. It was highly improbable, however, that this mark would receive sanc- tion, since the Buckeye team failed to pass the baton and instead. paced Troy home in remarkable fast time. Owens Is Outshone. THE!: performances took the play away from Owens, the great Buckeye bullet. who failed, in the face of an advance build-up, to shatter any international figures, although he won four of Ohio State's six first places. Owens, who recently smashed three world marks and tied another in the | big ten championship, although com- peting on the fast tenth olympiad course, was able to approach only two international marks. These were the 220-yard dash, which he won in 20.7 seconds, one-tenth of a second back of Roland Locke's time, and four- tenths of a second slower than his own top performance of the year, and the low barriers event, where he also ! was a tenth of a second back of the accepted time. | It seemed apparent that Owens, en route to the national collegiate cham- pionship at Berkeley next Saturday, | was not running relaxed.

STAN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. T. LOUIS, June 15.—Maybe it was because the zero hour of trading was nigh or maybe it was only the law of averages, but Bucky Harris stumbled across a little pitching to go with the Nation- | als’ newly-found wallop today | The combination was much too | much for Trader Hornshy's down- | trodden Browns, so Washington pre- | served its chief claim to fame by winning its fifth game in as many starts over the St. Loueys, 11 to 3 Bucky stumbled—and stumbied is the word—across Lefty Leon Pettit | this afternoon. It was Henry Cop- | pola’s turn to throw but Henry had s sore arm. Bob Burke was Bjcky next choice but imagine his discom- | fiture when Robert also reported a lame wing So it was Pettit who received the call and fortunately so. The little portsider pitched the Griffs’ first real | game in over a week, giving up seven | scattered hits and breezing home on the crest of a 15-hit batting attack featuring a new National socking star, Sam Holbrook, the stocky rookie catcher who argues with umpires. Holbrook Steals Show. N FACT, Sam almost made the re- sult incidental by his performance After all, whipping the Browns is something done nearly every day. but finding a real rival to Clif Bolton for Washington's catching job is some- thing else And that is what Manager Harris | believes he found today. He stuck the flery. right-handed Holbrook into the line-up because a southpaw, Russ Van Atta, was tossing for the Browns When it was over and the smoke had | cleared, Holbrook had socked two | home runs right out of the diamond, | tripled on another trip, and en- couraged & base on balls. The net damage inflicted by this drawling Mississippi lad was five runs batted in and two scored by him personally. In doing all this the snaggle-toothed 22-year-old stole the show from a trio | of other deserving performers, Johnny Stone, Capt. Buddv Myer and Fred Schulte, who knocked out four, three and three hits, respectively, in the large afternoon. Get Busy Farly.

Socks Long Homer. "THEN in the fifth Holbrook began to bid for the stick laurels in a serious way when he blasted a terrific drive on a line to the distant center- field stands, scoring Schulte ahead of him and boosting the count to 8 to 0. Meantime, Lefty Pettit was going all right, giving up only two hits, but in their half of the fifth the Browns bunched hits for the first and only time to score two runs. Clift singled, Heath, batting for Rollle Hemsley, walked. and after each had advanced on Solters’ infield out, Ed Coleman singled them over. The Browns' 50 ushers and the scat tering of fans began to get mildly es cited when Bell's triple and an infield out produced another run in the sixth, but that was all for the host club.
