Marathon Running Is Pronounced Screwiest, Slap-Happiest Sport CRITIGISATLOSS - TOEXPLAINGAME Admits Everybody Has Some | Kind of Urge to Excel, or Find Spotlight. BY W. R. McCALLUM. F ALL the screwy, slap-happy forms of sport, you couldn't reach down in any grab-bag and come up with one that looks nuttier than running 26 miles 385 yards in the name of dear old | amateur sport. They call it mara- thon racing because a guy back in ancient Greece, before they had radio | And crooners, ran from the plains of | Marathon to Athens to tell a lot of bearded blokes that Greece had won | & victory over the Persians. When the guy delivered his non- commercial announcement he dropped | dead, all of which is a proper build-up for the iron-hearted, slug-nutty gents | Wwho run the same distance today. Probably a lot of 'em would like to drop dead in the modern mara- thons of today, but we moderns are made of sterner stuff. Where the ancient Greek, his sandals smoking | with dust and heat, ran practically alone for the entire route, your mod- ern marathoner runs between zig- zagging automobiles, breathing mon- oxide gas and listening to some radio guy broadcasting what a great runner he is. It beats all how the world has Dprogressed. There's Something to It. AND don’t think they don't come near dyving in these marathons. There was Pat Dengis, winner of The Evening Star marathon back in 1935. Pat ran second in the Boston mara- thon that year. Along about the twenty-fourth mile his heart began to pound and he nearly keeled over. For more than 2 miles he hot-footed over the asphalt pavement, believing that every step might be his last. He thought the old pump was ready to quit and at the end the medicos called it “‘just a stitch” in his side, after he'd struggled to a second-place finish be- hind Johnny Kelley. There must be something to this marathon game. Any sporting racket that gets guys ranging from the nearly rich down to plumbers to run that dis- tance over smoking pavements under & sun that cracks down at 90 degrees in the shade, must have something behind it. And at the end what is | there? There's the ephemeral ‘“na- | tional championship” and a silver | mug, but it takes more than that to | make a guy literally run his heart and | lungs out over such & distance. ‘We All Have Vain Urge. WHAT is it that makes 'em run | marathon races? Rod Thomas, ‘who has ballyhooed marathon running into a sport that has drawn some- where around 70,000 persons annually | along the route of The Star marathon Ctwill be held this year on June 12) | #ays this: “Hell, they just like to run.” | But that can't be the only answer. | ‘There must be more to it than that. These must be, for instance, that | intensely atavistic human urge to excel at something; that desire in the breast | of all humans to salve their vanity by | & brief moment in the limelight. We all have it in & way, no matter how | modest we may think we are. But | marathon running takes more out of & man than even headlines would re- pay, with pictures and broadcasting | rights and all the other ballyhoo. For | marathon running today is and prob- } ably will remain an amateur sport. It hasn't been professionalized exten- sively and probably won't be, while lungs and hearts are standardized and | “guts” are not the exclusive properties ©f any man or group of men. | De Bruyn Is Dramatic. OW, for example, could you ex- plain the most dramatic incident of the first of The Star marathons, the collapse of Paul De Bruyn, the Bandy-legged Teuton, 100 yards from the finish line, and his mental resusci- tation to drive wobbling legs across | the tape to finish fourth? Paul had run a good race. For | miles down the Mount Vernon Boule- vard, he'd led the parade. But that soul-taxing trek up Capitol Hill got him. He saw loping Clyde Martak pass him to win the race, but he stuck it out. One hundred yards from the finish those cramped muscles, tense and throbbing from more than | 26 miles of putting one foot in front | of the other under a searing sun, | gave up. An elderly German leaned over the heap of flesh that was Paul De Bruyn, whispered something in his ear, and | Paul staggered to his feet. He fell | acroee the finish line and for hours | lay, nearly dead, on a cot at Emer- | genoy Hospital, | There was Bill Agee, the Baltimore | harrier, and Dave Komonen, the! loping Finn, twice a winner of The Star marathon; sparrow-chested, 98- pound Percy Wyer and all the gallant company from Canada and Finland; Bill Mc} ahon, the present champion; gallant Monteverde, the 67-year-old man of wealth from Los Angeles; aging Mike Lynch, dean of local mara- thoners, and all the valiant men who've competed: in all the mara- thons, men of steel and muscle, of heart and wind and lung power. And for what? Komgonen Boasts Distinction. AGEE, a great 15-mile man, ran his | heart out in the marathons in| which he took part. But his stride, geared to 15 miles, couldn't carry him the marathon distance. He tried to match himself against Komonen, the tireless Finn, and he couldn’t make it, or he didn't make it. So did| others. Komonen remains the one| man who has won two marathon | races in Washington. | Young an dold, thin and tall, short | and chunky, the marathon game pulls‘; in all types and conditions of men. | But first they must be men. It's no game for weak hearts and pulling muscles. Even to finish is a feat in | itself, for the route of The Star mara- thon has been called by the runners themselves the toughest of them all. The winners aren’t limited to one physical class, although the small men have the edge. How, you ask, could a guy run that distance and keep his poundage? The answer is obvious. He couldn’t. If he didn't train it off in pre-race work he'd run it off in the race itself. So men light of bone, wiry and lithe of muscle, have been the victors. But they've all been men. He'll Stick to Golf. BILL MCMAHON, the 1936 cham- pion, is an example. Bill dropped PORTS. < THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1937. A MYSTERIOUS MALADY.

WHAT A TICKER'! e Ly TENNISIS SOARING IN'DIKTE COLLEGES Students Realize Value as Sport They Can Keep Up, Says Tarheel Coach. Br the Associated Press. ICHMOND, Va, May 18— Tennis has emerged from the shelf in Southern colleges during the past few years, John Kenfield, University of North Carolina coach, said, and has assumed | a foremost place in popularity with | students. “It is & sport which students do' not have to drop when they leave school,” he said. ‘Students have be- gun to realize the advantages of learn- ing to play well a sport they can enjoy after graduating, and this accounts | for the forward strides made by col- lege tennis in the past few years.” College athletic officials who former- Iy gave little attention to the net game have been quick to sense this change in attitude and are building more courts, improving equipment and employing coaches, Kenfield observed. Three Setting Pace. HE NAMED North Carolina, Duke and Virginia as leaders in en- ocouraging tennis. These institutions have provided vast layouts of courts and have seen that they are kept in playable condition. They are the only schools, he added, in the Southern Conference area with full-time, year- rouqd tennis coaches. The old system of assigning faculty members to the tennis squad and of giving but scant attention to facilities of the game was seen as on the way out. Even the smaller colleges are spending more athletic department funds on tennis, Kenfield pointing to Presbyterian College, where extensive improvements are under way. Kenfield directed the three-day 6 , 7- Southern Conference tennis tourna- [\eis, 6— ment, which ended here Saturday in a landslide for his North Carolins entries. Tarheels Have Great Team. AMSAY POTTS, Memphis, Tenn, pride, took the singles title for the second consecutive year. He de- feated a teammate, Eddie Fuller, Salem, Mass., New England sectional champion. Potts and Fuller teamed in the doubles to win the champion- ship over Bill Rood and Frank Farell, also Tarheels. North Carolina, undefeated on the courts for two years, whipped such strong Eastern squads this season as Yale, Army, Navy, Princeton and New York University. —By JIM BERRYMAN.

But for sheer, wiry, steel- cuscled driving power those skinny legs of Bill McMahon had more in|= them that June day than did the pins of bigger men. And those who've watched Ko- monen’s effortless shuffie never will forget the ease with which the diminutive Finn covered the miles. A cabbage leaf stuck in a handkerchief atop his thin locks, the tiny Finn scarcely seemed to move, but he ate up the miles just the same. Marathon running is one game in which to do the spectacular leads to disaster. To run 15 miles in record time well may, and frequently does, lead to disaster and eventual col- lapse. It's one game where ‘“easy does it” is the proper mental condi- tion. And Komonen was the least spectacular of all the victors in The Star Marathon. He and Percy Wyer, another wisp of & man, who finished second in the initial race. But why do they do it? I dunno. I'm s golf man. Chasing a little white ball over 5 or 6 miles of green fairway at a leisurely pace is exer- cise and nothing more. But running 26 miles? They can have it. I still don't know why they do it. Maybe there's a little of the greyhound in all of us. n Cel_[ 21— 11 11 91 815291 1% I 2i—I 111(101.624] 1% 21 11 9|111. 21 21 01 11—I 21 811/.4211 7 2110 11 21 1] 11—] 9113.409] 4 o1 81101 9I1IT1I8I——I | e ey RESULTS YESTERDAY.

Rival managers of the two heavy- weight headliners, Bob Nestell and Bob Pastor, after proving that two heads can be harder than one, finally agreed to a postponement from May 24. The new arrangement was a com- promise. Bus Wilson, manager of Nestell, demanded a June 1 date to let the Californian’s split eyelid heal. It was cut in training last week. Jimmy Johnston, jr, manager of | the New Yorker, held out for May 24. “Nestell is yellow,” charged John- ston, flatly. “Pastor wants to rup out.

ICHMOND, Va., May 18.— Bucky Jacobs, University of Richmond pitcher, whose ambition is to play base ball in the major leagues, has three no-hit performances in five weeks to back up his claim for attention. ‘The diminutive Buckey first broke into base ball's hall of fame at the expense of Virginia Tech, one of the stronger Southern Con- ference clubs. A week later he repeated against the usually hit-worthy Hampden- Sydney nine. That ‘brought the big league scouts a-running, but they were slow to take to Jacobs because of his lack of heft. He showed them yesterday that & 158-pounder can put & lot of “stuff” on & base ball when he tossed his third no-hitter against Virginia Military Institute to win, 3to 0. Jacobs makes no secret of the fact that he wants a trial in the big leagues, but has not talked about the outcome of conferences with scouts. Gene McCann of the Yankee recruiting staff talked to Bucky today. In fashioning the three no-hite ters, he struck out 42 batsmen— an average of 14 a game. Jacobs has won 19 games and lost only one in three years of varsity pitching with Richmond Uni- versity.

APPLY SALES MANAGER ANACOSTIA MOTOR CO. Ford V-8 and Lincoln Zephyr Dealer 1325 GOOD HOPE RD. S.E. Win Over Wilson Leaves Only Roosevelt in Path. Tech Beats Central. SSURED of at least a tie for the title, Eastern High's crack nine today found only the lowly Roosevelt club blocking its path to the public high school series base ball championship, and the Lincoln Parkers hope to remove that remaining obstacle effectively next Tuesday. Stripped of its pitching staff, Kilmer Bortz, via scholastic difficulties, Wilson offered Eastern feeble opposition yes- terday at Eastern Stadium, succumb- ing 8-1, as Walter Stockwell limited the Presidents to a single safety. Tech placed itself in a challenging position, remote as the possibility may be, by whipping Central's erratic team, 5-3, at Central Stadium. Eastern Still Steady. ASTERN, however, shows no signs of ripping af the seams. The Lincoln Parkers cracked 11 solid hits off the offerings of Bill Garland, and what with Wilson kicking in nine errors, had little trouble in annexing the tilt after the Presidents made one mild gesture toward triumph. Wilson pushed over its run in the second inning when Buck Barbee gained life on a miscue and promptly was pumped home by Bill Hawks- worth’s lusty double to left. From there in, however, the southpaw slants of Stockwell mowed Wilson batters down regularly, although the elongated pitcher was in trouble several times through his generosity with bases on balls. Eastern tied the score in its half of the second and added four more in the fourth, which was featured by Wes Taylor's crisp double to center to clear the fully populated bases. Marshall Jacobs collected three hits for Eastern, while Taylor, Everett O'Brien and Paul Kober slammed two each. Al Kidwell's flawless flelding also was instrumental in the eventual outcome, the stocky little shortstop continuing to rank as the smoothest infielder in the series. Wilson. AB.H Eastern.

"ECH'S conquest of its traditional rival not only was Centrals fourth defeat in as many starts, but also gave the Maroon a half game advantage over Western in the fight for second place. Tech and Western meet Thursday in a game which defi- nitely settle the question, Although “Abe” Linkins was taken out in the second inning when Cen- tral tied the score at 1-1, Tommy Doonis turned in a nice relief job, holding the Blue to five hits in the last seven innings. Central managed to tie the score in the fourth at 2-2, but Tech's three-run frame in the lucky seventh when it knocked Wil- bur Dezerne out of the box could not | be matched by its rival.

After allowing the enemy its only two runs in the second, Bill Lanier settled down to pitch one of his best games of the season for G. W, yielding only seven hits in all. A double steal by Johnson and De Angelis climaxed the winning rally, following two-base hits by Johnson, Edmondson and Zelaska.

The only one I've ever had is little Heine Scheer, an inflelder in the '20s. He was a flawless fielder, but too lighs to be a hitter. If I knew of another in the minors or colleges, I'd grab him. They learn like lightning. (Copyriznt, 1937.) TODAY BASEBALL 723 Washington vs. St. Louis AMERICAN LEAGUE PARK Temorrow—8t. Louis. 3:15 P.M.
