Venzke Third as Cunningham Wins. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. | RINCETON, N. J, July 4—| Touching off a burst of rec- | ord-smashing exploits that re- verberated like the frecrack- | ers set off at intervals in Palmer Sta- ! dium, America’s foremost track and | field athletes girded themselves for | the coming Olympic battle by waging & spectacular fight today for national A. A. U. senior championships for the | benefit of a crowd of 20,000 holiday | enthusiasts. Paced by such mighty performers as Jesse Owens, Forrest (Spec) Towns, Glenn Hardin and the redoubtable Don Lash, the all-star onslaught | upon time and distance produced rec- ord-making performancés in eight of the 22 events on the title program. witnessed the downfall of eight champions in individual competition, and hoisted a new satellite to the ath- | letic skies in George Varoff, blond | pole vaulter of San Francisco's Olym- pic Clyb. Risks Job for Record. AROFF, 22-year-old janitor wh risked the loss of his job by com- ing East after qualifying at Los Angeles for the Olympic tryouts, elec- trified onlookers by soaring to a new world record of 14 feet 6', inches. Never before a contender in national title competition, the former Francisco schoolboy star beat highly favored Southern California pair, Earle Meadows and Bill Sefton, as he wiped out all existing standards by a convincing margin. Varoff topped the listed world mark of 14 feet 4% inches, set four years ago in the Olympic tryouts at Palo Alto by Southern California’s Bill Graver. He also displaced the Amer- ican mark of 14 feet 5!5 inches, made by Yale's Keith Brown in the inter- collegiate A. A. A. A. championships last year and on file for world approval. Meadows dropped out at 14 feet 3 | inches and Sefton's best was 14 feet | s they took an unexpected trimming from their coast rival. Varof's best; previous mark was 14 feet 3 inches made 8 week ago. Until this year he had not touched 14 feet in competi- tion. Born in the Hawaiian Islands, of Russian parentage, Varoff got his early training at Balboa High School, San Prancisco, and had a year at the University of Oregon before going to work as janitor in an office building san | the | mark, displacing the mark of 51.8 that Hardin set in 1934. It was a | full second short of the world record made by the Louisianian at Stockholm, Sweden, two years ago. The closing contribution to the record-breaking spree came from the | flying feet of Charles Beetham, Ohio State’s great half-m who won the 800-meter run in 1:50.3, to Wipe out Ben Eastman's meet record by | one-tenth second, made in 1934. Eastman, only foot racer to better Beetham's time this year and co- holder of the world record, was miss- ing today, but the Ohio State ace overcame a crack field. He took com- mand on the back stretch and stood off the closing rush of Johnny Wood- ruff, University of Pittsburgh Negro sensation, to win by a scant yard, with Indiana’s Chuck Hornbostel a close third. | The biggest foot racing surprise | was the defeat of the two California Negro stars, Jimmy Luvalle and Archie Williams, in the 400-meter final, by Harold Smallwood, repre enting the University of Southern alifornia. It was an all-coast bate tle, with Al Fitch of U. S. C. con-| | tributing to a somewhat rough four- cornered tussle for positions. Luvalle | ‘was thrown off stride on the turn and | with Williams, boxed out of position as Fitch and Smallwood ran shoulder to shoulder into the last stretch. Blanket Finish in 400. SMALLWOOD shot into a substantial lead, but barely had enough left to stand off the closing rush of Lu- valle, with Williams at the latter's heels, in an exciting finish. The trio was separated by scarcely a yard. | The winner's time of 47.3 was not outstanding. It contrasted Williams' new record time of 46.1, made at Chicago, and Luvalle’s best of 46.3 for this year. The American and meet records | for the 3.000-meter walk tumbled when Harry Hinkel of the Los Angeles A. C. successfully cdefended his crown in 13 minutes 36.8 seconds. Another upset marked the 3,000- meter steeplechase, in which the | veteran Joe McClusky of the New York A. C, five times winner in the last six years, yielded to Harold Manning of Wichita, Kans., as well as Glen Dawson of Tulsa, Okla., on the final lap drive over the barriers. | Manning won handily in 9:15.1 to | repeat his 1934 victory and stamp this year. Owens Ties Meet Marks. AS MUCH surprised as was every one else when he cleared the record height, Varoff “guessed” his employer might agree to hold his job open for him after hearing of his exploit. He will make his bid for the Olympic team in the final tryouts next week end at Randall's Island Stadium, New ‘York, along with the other stars who made today’s athletic show one of the best in A. A. U. history. The incomparable Jesse Owens, re- deeming his failures of a year ago at Lincoln in the same meet, accom- plished two stylish triumphs. After outrunning his Marquette rival, | Ralph Metcalfe. by a yard to capture | the 100-meter dash in 10.4 seconds, | equaling the meet record, Owens re- | turned to the broad-jump pit and cleared 26 feet 3 inches to annex his second championship. This leap tied | the meet record which enabled Eulace | Peacock, Temple University Negro, to | win the event last year. It also bet- tered the listed world mark of 26 feet 2'5 inches, held by Japan’s Chu Hei Nambu, but fell short of the Ohio State star's own best mark of 26 feet 8!, inches, made last year and pend- ing acceptance as a world record. Owens fouled on four of his six broad jumps, one of which measured | 26 feet 7': inches. He cleared 26 feet 1 inch on his first attempt. Pea- | cock was kept out of the competition | by a leg injury, meanwhile being as- | sured his entry would be accepted for | the final Olympic tryouts next week, | but another Negro rival emerged to- | day in Kermit King, a New York boy | representing Kansas State Teachers. | King jumped into second place with 25 feet 5 inches. LASH. following his record-smashing | victory in the 10,000-meter run last evening, captured his second na- | tional title and removed any linger- ing doubt he is America’s premier | distance runner by scoring another record-breaking triumph, in the 5,000 meters. The iron-legged Indiana boy followed the pace of his San Francisco rival, Norman Bright, then opened up the throttle in the home stretch with & matchless finishing drive. Roaring past the faltering Eright.‘ ‘who stopped to a walk after conceding defeat, Lash broke the tape for the distance, slightly more than 3 miles, in 15 minutes 4.8 seconds. This was considerably behind the world record of 14:17, held by Finland'’s 1932 Olympic champion, but good enough | to wipe out the championship mark of 15:14.1, set last year by Joe Mc- Cluskey. The South’s twin hurdling aces, Towns and Hardin, showed their heels to the best available opposition in record foshion. Towns skimmed over the 110-meter high hurdles in 14.2 seconds to equal the listed world record, held by Percy Beard, and come within a tenth-second of equal- ing his own best time of the year, already on file for record acceptance. The slim Georgian's time wiped out the former meet mark of 14.3, set by Johnny Morriss of Louisiana in 1933. ‘He broke the tape in the final a yard in front of Phil Cope, Southern Cali- fornia star registered from Denver, ‘who had equaled the meet record in this trial heat. HAR.D!N, exhibiting his best per- formance of the year, flashed home 8 yards in front of Dale Scho- field of Brigham Young University in 51.6 seconds. This set a new Ameri- can record as well as & new meet Another Mark for Lash. | Records for Hardin, Beetham. ~ | of the greatest high-jumping battles | ever witnessed. himself as an outstanding Olympic | hope. Cunningham Keeps Title. | GLEN CUNNINGHAM retained his title in the 1.500-meter run in a race that was made to order for the | barrel-chested Kansas veteran and noteworthy chiefly for the proof that | Archie San Romani of the Emporia (Kans.) State Teachers Cdflege is to | be reckoned with in the forthcoming | battle for Olympic places in the “met= | ric mile.” Cunningham, rating him- self off the race, came from behind on the last lap to pass Gene Venzke, shake off Bill Bonthron, and break the tape a decisive winner in 3:54.2, San Romani, coming up fast in the stretch, nipped Venzke for a sec- ond place and finished three yards behind the winner. Venzke was an- other two yards back, with Bonthron pulling up in fourth place after find- ing his “kick” insufficient to keep pace with Cunningham. Of the 15 championships that changed hands, including eight in competition and seven by default, | the shake-up was most marked in the field events. Louisiana State's ziant, Jack Torrance, still far from his record form of two years ago, was beaten by a half inch in the shot- put by Dimmy Zaitz of Boston, who won at 50 feet 73 inches. Henry Dreyer of the New York A. C., also off form, lost the hammer throwing | g title to Bill Rowe of Rhode Island State, who tossed 175 feet 7 inches. Roland Romero lost the hop, step and jump title to a fellow Louisianan, Bill Brown, who achieved 49 feet 2 inches. Great High-jump Duel. CORNEUUS JOHNSON, lanky Los Angeles Negro, almost missed a chance to defend his high-jump title. Rushing on the field an hour after the event had begun Johnson was per- mitted to enter with the bar-at 6 feet | 7 inches. He cleared it on his first at- | tempt, then retained his crown in a triple jump-off with two Ohio State Negro rivals, Mel Walker and Dave Al- | britton. All three cleared 6 feet 8| inches. Tied for fourth place, at 6-7, were Ed Burke of Marquette and Wal- ter Marty of the Olympic Club in one So keen was the individual battle that only five titleholders remained on top. Cunningham, Johnson and Hin- kel were joined in this exclusive class by Ken Carpenter of Southern Cali- fornia, who won the discus at 166 feet 2 inches, and Ralph Metcalfe, who won the 200-meter title for the fifth suc- cessive year. Only four sprinters chal- lenged Metcalfe and he was thus | obliged to run only one race to retain | & his crown, beating Bobby Packard of Georgia by & yard in 0:21.2. Metcalfe | ko also anchored the victorious Mar- quette Club 400-meter relay team. ‘The New York Athletic Club success- fully defended the team title, with a totai of 39 points. This was nearly twice the total of the nearest rivals of the Mercury-foot outfit. The threat | " of San Francisco’s Olympic Club fad- ed and the Westerners were tied for second place with Ohio State Univer- sity, each collecting 20 points.

CECIL TRAVIS, who needs "em, lost 2 hit in the second inning when, with Stone on first, he sent a low drive to Di Maggio. The right fielder got his hands on the ball, but couldn't hold it.

He was in trouble in the third, when Crosetti singled and Rolfe 0 | Dean gave the Reds their tenth-inning | doubled, but Cascarella, who previous- |1y had fanned Lazzeri and Gomez in | this inning, retired Joe Di Maggio the | same way. ! The next two iruings, the fourth | and fifth, proved the Griffs’ undoing. P Erubsk.y, | Showers; Lombardi’s two-run single | Cascarella never seemed to recover from running out a double in the Nats' third and the Yanks, with | Gehrig hitting a two-bagger and Dickey acd Selkirk walking, quickly | filled the bases with only one out in the fourth. Lazzeri Starts Trouble. HERE the aged Signor Anthony | Lazzeri, a “money player” from ‘way back, lined a double to right | field and two runs were across. Sel- | kirk, who reached third on ‘Tony’s hit, scored a moment later on Gomez' fiy to Hill. It was the only ball E1 Goof | hit all day, incidentally. It was obvious, in the fifth, that Cascarella was tiring. Di Maggio led off with a hit to deep short that | Kress barely was able to fleld and Gehrig walked. Bill Dickey followed i with a slashing drive down the first- base line, but Joe Kuhel saved Cas- carella by making a great stop of that ball and beating the Yankee to the bag. To aid Cascarella in getting out of the hole, Manager Bucky Harris ordered Selkirk to be purposely passed to get at Jake Powell, who had whiffed on his two previous trips. Carcarella got two strikes on Jake, but he finally grounded to short and Di Maggio scored. Lazzeri ended the inning by popping to Kress. The Yanks put all their offense into those two Mnings. Syd Cohen, the rookie from Chatanooga, came in to hold them to a hit and no runs in the sixth and seventh and Bill Deit- | rich, formerly of the As, breezed | through the last two frames and gave | up only one hit. 4| THE Griffs were the strong finish- ers but they didn't make their bid early enough. This, plus inabil- 4 | ity to make their hits count, cost them the game, for they outbatteq the New Yorks, 11 to 8. A double by Ossie Bluege in the fifth and a single by Jesse Hill, after Pinch-hitter Johnny Stone’s wally produced the first run, and while they hit the tiring Gomes freely in the next three innings it wasn't until the ninth that Washing= ton made any real bid for the game. The inning opened tamely enough, Walter Millies flying to Di Maggio, but Pinch-hitter Cliff Bolton singled and Hill walked. Buddy Lewis, hitless and overdue, slashed a hot grounder over first base, and on this drive Gehrig pulled a play that probably saved the game for the Yanks. Lou made a suc- cessful stab of the ball and beat Lewis to the bag by inches. Once again the spark of victory was fanned, however, when Kuhel pumped a single through the box to score Bol- ton and send Hill to third. He also sent Gomez to the showers, but not until Crosetti had grabbed Kuhel's drive and made a desperate throw that got away from Gehrig, letting Hill score with the run that narrowed the count to 4-3. On the wild throw, which went into the Washington dug- out, Kuhel took second after Gehrig had stepped on Joe's face in the scramble to reach the ball. - Malone Checks Chapman, Thus was the stage set for Chapman to drive 38,000 people goofy, but Paj Malone, who came in the box to relieve (See BASE BALL, Page B-7.) )
