Rerg, the Collinsville and Besse pitcher, won a game last Saturday. Some of his friends doubted it, but Nilly Fitzpatrick checked it up and ound it to be so. Iitzpatrick also took a look at the butting averages of the Corbin team then derived great satisfaction when Borg reminded him that there was a time when he used to clout out threc nggers.

Etta Druien had had a weck’s rest before the race, while I'ayette National was shipped by mo- tor truck from Sandusky Wednesday. The 2:15 pace proved another sur- prise when Braden K.

Colonel Bidwell won the 2:06 pace in straight heats and Roger C. second to the winner in the first two, came in first in the third heat for second place.

You read recently where Zeegers of Holland was forced to drop out of the Olympic steeplechase because his belt broke and his running trunks began to de- sert him, This recalls the experience of Glenn Kreider, Ohio State miler, who made Big Ten history during the past sea-. son. Three years ago Kreider, then a rookie, started in the half-mile against Indiana. Just after the start his belt broke. Krelder made a swoop down- ward and seized the retreating pants with his right hand. His one thought was to get off the track and away from the crowd and this with all possible speed. Kreider put on extra steam. The erowd realized his predicament and laughed, Kreider put on still more steam. The crowd laughed all the harder, Kreider came thundering down the stretch hoding his pants with one hand. He breasted the tape yards ahead of his fleld and kept right on through the stadium gate and into the gymmasium without once break- ing his stride. Half an hour later he learned he had set a new record for the event and had qualified as a regular, JOHNSON IS DEFEATED IN MATCH WITH KINSEY — Loser Not Up To His Famous ¥orm, But Winner Plays Brilliantly, Seabright, N, J., Aug. 2.—America's second ranking tennis stars, William M.

He scemed unable to. compel Kinsey to take the offensive, his lack of speed and frequent lapses costing him the match, The first California victory of the ay was scored by Miss Mary K. Browne when she took Miss Mayme MacDonald, national clay court cham. pion, into camp in the woman’s sin- gles final, 60, 8——1. Miss Browne's speedy driving and her smashing vol- leying at the net heing the cause of Miss MacDonald's downfall, Teamed in the doubles with Mrs. T, Horace Dudley of Los Angeles, Miss beating Miss Naye MacDenald and Miss Florence Tallin of New York in the final of this event, —2, f—1 In the semi-finals of the men's dou- hles Robert Kinssy and Howard Kin- sey deefated Karl I, Behr and Dean Mathey, §~=T7, 62, 6—0, Miss Helen Wills, Olympie cham- pion, will play an exhibition match here today.

Score: Bartlett ... Barritt ,..... Batteries: Florko Wilk and Lasky. The Smith-Smalley game gave promises of being a very close game for the first three innings. However, when the Smith boys scored four runs in the fourth inning all teamwork dis- appeared from the Smalley team, and from that point on, it was simply a question of how many runs the Smith would score.
