HRENZ THE BABE RUTH OF TRAGK Youthful Star Leads Leland Stanford’s Team in Meet Today Cambridge, Mass., May 26 UP— It's an old saying with the Yankees that “as Rutn goes, so goes the team.” Eric Krenz, 22 year old Babe Ruth of track and field sporta seems to wield a similar influence upon Leland Stanford's team, favor- fie today to romp Off with the fift sccond intercollegiate A. A. A. A. championships for the second straight year and take the historic title back to the Pacific coast for the seventh time in eight seasons. Eric, the curly-haired sophomore who tosses the sixteen pound shot, and uiscus around with the same reckless abandon that Ruth hits home runs, was in record-breaking form in yesterday's trials, from the moment he stepped out on the Har- vard turf to hurl the ahot to a new record of 50 feet 1 inch until, a few hours later, he wound up a busy day by tossing the discus a new record distance of 134 feet, 11, inches. “As Krenz goes, so goes Stanford.” Eric sets the pace but he isn't the whole team, by any means. Twelve and possibly thirteen others etood ready to contribute to Stan- ford's score, which experts expected to produce a one-sided victory for the Cardinals as well as to establish the highest point total in at least ten years, if not thirty years. It seemed probable to observers that Stanford, in spite of keen op- | position from Yale, Southern Cali- fornia, Harvard and Cornell, would equal or surpass the 47-point mod- ern mark, set by Cornell in 1918 and possibly threaten the all-time high- mark of 57 points, registered hy Pennsylvania in 1899. Yale, the east's only hope and a slim one, surprised even its ardent supporters by sticking close to Stan- ford in the qualifying competition yesterday, which™ cut the entry list of some 500 performers down to 106 in 13 of the 16 championship | events. The Cardinals’ margin over | the Elis was only 13 fo 11 in the | number of qualifiers but the pro- portion of scoring power embodied | in the Stanford group was much higher than that in the Blue bri- gade. There was a wider gap be- tween nford's scoring machine and other outstanding squads, such as those representing Cornell, Har- vard and Southern California, each of which qualificd eight men yes- terday. With team honors virtually con- ecded to Stanford, even by Yale's enthusiasts, the east's main hopes rested In the vossibility of wresting a fair share of individual chagipion- ship laurels from the invading far western countingent. Thres championship met records were shattered in the preliminarics, 1wo of them by Krenz and a third by Al Bates of Penn State with a trond jump of 24 feet, 10 3-8 inches "hese as well as other existing faced further attack and demolishment in the finals, 1 tc start this afternoon at 4:20 o'clock eastern daylight time. Yale pinned its faith in Sabin Carr, famous ypole vaulter, to repel the challenge of two western rivals, 1.ce Barnes of 8outhern California, ypresent world’s record-holder, and Ward Edmonds, slim Stanford ace. In the quarter-mile, another pros- peetive thriller, the Flis again put forward an eastern hope in Laun- celot Ross, who was kept out of the 220 especially to conserve his ener- gies for the race with Bud Spencer, stanford aptain, and Ray Bar- buti, so flier. The sprint king, Charley Borah of Bouthern California, secmed slated to keep his crown, despite the aspira- tions of such atars as Art French of Harvard, Jimmy Quinn and Jimmy Daley of Holy Cross, the east's pick. The half-mile and mile had eastern favorites in Phil Edwards of New York university and Bill Cox of Penn Etate, respectively. Krenz, with a margin of more than nine feet over his nearest rival, had the discus “sewed up” but in the shot-put, he had the prospect of an- other duel with his teammate, Har- fow Rothert. Rothert was only a half-inch behind Krenz yesterday, twice heaving the 16-pound iron ball out to 50 feet 1-2 inch. Krenz equal- 1ud this figure once and then did his Tecord 50-1, Thus, in one afternoon, these two Stanford sophomores «clipsed four times the former rec- ord of 49 feet, 11 3-4 inches, made Ty Bud Houser in 1926. Four times they put the ball out beyond 50 feet, & mark that had not becn touched in 51 previous years of I C. A, A. A. A, champlonkhip competition. Krenz, who totes an 18-pound weight around most of his waking hours, holding it even during his studies to strengthen his wrists, is the greatest all-around weight man 1o come out of the west since Bud Houser, who won both the shot and discus at the 1924 Olympics. Krenz's performances yesterday displaced two of Houser's records. He may be cut out to fill the Olympic role at Amsterdam this year that Bud did at Paris, Other prospective tussles today, on the basis of form and performances in the trials, included those hetween Wright of Cornell and Black of Maine, in the hammer-throw; Bates of Penn State and Dyer of Stanford in the broad jump; Hines of George- town, Ghillany of Columbia, a new- comer, and Darling of Stanford in the javelin throw; Maynard of Dart- mouth and king of Stanford in the high jump. — Son-in-Law Is Held for Death of Fairfield Man Bridgeport, May 26 M—Joseph P.

Phelan who will formally inquire into the circumstances of Berry's death early next week. marks NEW BRITAIN MADE PRODUCTS USED IN MELBOURNE HOTEL (Continued from First Page) of Waterbury supplied all the brass used in the hotel while the Colt Pat- ent Firearms company of Hartford built the two gigantic Aute-San dish washing machines, each of which cost about $7,000. The Spencer Tur- bine company of Hartford, installed the central vacuum plant and elec- trical and domestlc hardware was furnished by Landers, Frary & Clark of this eity. The Hotel Alexander is a modern hotel of 200 rooms, with a bath connected with each and, in- cidentally, is the first hotel on the continent of Australia to have a bathroom connected with each room. Suj s Speaking of the materials furnish- ed by New Britain concerns, Mr. Perrott expressed himself as mightly pleased with the service given and declared that the brand of goods was 80 far superior to any other, not excluding Australian made prod- ucts, that there was no doubt as to their desirability. Commenting upon his homeland, Mr. Perrott gives some interesting sidelights on this far away conti- nent with an area of 2,791,504 square miles and _a population of but 6,- 250,000. The city of Melbourne it- self, wihel a large, modern metrop- olis, has a population slightly un- der a million. The {mpression that Australia is the Iand of the wild and woolly, of kangaroos and murder- ous bushmen is erroneous, Mr. Per- rott explains, remarking that the developed areas are thorougsl modern and that the country truly is rich and prosperous. For example the imports for last year totalled more than 164 million dollars, while the exports totalled more than 144 million dollars, most of which was in wheat and wool, some of the fin- est wool in the world being preduc- ad there. Looking at the rural side, Mr. Perrott explains that the cattle average for the past ten yeara is .3.000,000 head of stock. The con- tinent has 25,000 miles of railroads and about 21,000 factories which employ 345,000 men and 110,000 women, whose annual wages total about $400,000,000 while the value of their productions amounts to about two billions of dollara. Bank- ing resources amount to more than a billion and a hailf dollars. An idea of the progressiveness of the country may be gleaned from the fact that the railroad station at Adelaide, the third largest city, was recently completed at a cost of two and a half million dollars. Antiquatet Regulations One of the great drawbacka in modern development in Auatralia, Mr. Perrott, cxplains, is the anti- quated rcgulations which must be overcome. For instance, when the Hotel Alexander was built it re- quired a delay of five months be- fore the city ordinancea could be altered to permit a hotel with a bathroom connected with each room Previously the antiquated regula- tions had apecified that every bath- room {n a hotel must be on the out- side and have an outside window. Obviously this was impossible and the city ordinances had to be chang- ed to permit an insidec bathroom with forced ventilation, a&a in the more modern buildings. But strange as these antiquated rules may seem, they are by ne means unusual and especially is the truth of this statement brought home when it is recalled that until sometime in the late sixties there was a regulation in the city of Bos- ton forbidding the use of bathtubs. §. Loads World. The United States, Mr. Perrott declares, is the recognized leader of the world in medern conatruction and it is to this country that archi- teets and builders look. Just as Europe leads in old style cathedral architecture, se does the United States lead in the modern building and American methods and Ameri- can designs are being followed and adapted. At the present time Mr. Perrott has two of his own staff, one an architect and the other an NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1928. engineer apending a period of sever-/ al years working with the leading architectural and engineering firms in this country so that they may bring back to Australia the very latest designs and improvements in construction. The city of Melbourne itself, Mr. Perrott says, is a thoroughly mod- ern city, with great wide streets, handsome homes and delightful residential sections. This, he con- trasta with the city of 8ydney which inold and more densely populated. As a basis of comparison, Mr. Per- rott mentions Boston, with ita nar- row, twisting crooked streets as something like Sydney. Fortune In Gasoline Surprising as it may seem, it was not until about two years ago that the city of Melbourne had euch a thing as g gasoline station. Up to that time the autoist had to either have his own supply at home and take extra cans with him in his i or else drive fo some garage in & city. About two years ago two young men, one 20 and the other 21, came down to Melbourne from Minneapolis. They had neither means nor plans, but noticed the absence of gas stations. They look- ed ever some available sites, “sold” the idea to some of the leading real estate and investment men, obta ed financial backing, secured Mr. Perrott’s service as architect and to- day own a big chain of gasoline stations. In two years these two youths have risen from the ranks of the penniless to moderate wealth and if, as is hinted, some of the big American or European oil com- panies buy out their syndicate they stand to make a fortus Autos Are Castly Owing to the heavy import duty, automobiles are expensive in Aus- tralia, Mr. Perrott says, but all the leading American makes are seen. The only difference is that Amer- fcan cars made for Australian mar- kets are equipped with right hand drives; this because traffic drives on the left side of the road in Australia, Shertly before starting on his trip te the United States Mr. Perrott traded in his auto. which and happened to be a Studebak r, was allowed romethin $1700 for it. In turn however, his new Studebaker is costing him well over the $2500 mark. That the American automobile concerns are making a great bid for Australian business is seen in their program of progressiveness, The General Motors and the Stude- baker company both have big as- sembly plahta of their own there which either are completed or near- ly 80, so that shortly these big mo- tor companies will do their own as- sembling right there and also be able to better service their ecus- tomers. Although the newest Fords had not arrived in Australia when Mr, Perrott left, they were expected im- mediately. Incidentally, Ford has his own plants right in Australia and an enormous concern it is, the visitor added, Tires and equipment are expen- sive. A new set of oversize tires for his car cost Mr. Perrott $250 and that was the wholesale price, he ex- plains. Gasoline too, is costly, the tank price having been sixty cents a gallon when he left. Little Cars Used A sight that would certainly amuse an American in Australia is the great number of tiny automo- biles in use. Some of these are called the *“Baby Austins” a small model of a famous British car. The French Citron car is also is used extensively in Australia and the Peugot also makes a tiny car. These are not like anything seen in this country, Mr. Perrott says, but are in reality a very tiny machine of narrow tread and short wheel base but of great power and speed. In- sisting that he was not joking, Mr. Perrott said that some of these little cars used a0 extensively are so light that it {s not impossible for a man to pick up the read end and drag it over in the road a bit when park- ing in a small area. They also are economical to operate using a motor- cycle size tire and some of them actually get sixty miles and better to the gallon. The apeaker however, explained that these little cars are used only in the cities where the roads are good. They most certain- ly are not used in rural runs. Radio Has Tts Place The radio has taken a big place in Australian life and the programns there are about on a par with those in this country except that the ad- vertising feature has not crept in. In Australia, Mr. Perrott says, there are two principal broadcasting sta- tions that operate under government control and every individual radio set owner has to pay the govern- ment tax. This tax goes partly to reimburse these two broadcasting stations and permit them to present high grade programs. Failure to pay a radio license is a serious offense in Australia and punishable by a heavy fine. A strict record is kept of all sets and a ‘close watch kept for owners who do not pay a license. As an example of how close & watch in“kept, Mr. Per- ott explained that the postman on his route noticed a neighbor with a crystal set. He reported to the au- thorities. Tt was found the set was not licensed and the owner was a rested and heavily fined. These reg- ulatiens have the strong backing of the press too, and in the example just mentioned the new out with hig headlines, Pirates Arrested.” The fnnocent vic- tim happened to be an American not long in the country and he was greatly upset by the incident, and more egpecially the newspaper char- acterization of “radio pirate.” At another time, children in the schools were given a certain set of exercises and lessons to perform. the correct answering of which would disclose that s radio s¢t had been known or heard. Checking up on these answers made by the children, the authorities made a cleanup of non-licensed radio set owners. American Clothes Costly Living costa in Melbourne are not quite as high as in this country, Mr. Perrott says, and also added that rents are not as expensive; Do- mestic clothing too, is cheaper but American made clothing is very ex- pensive. For instance, American shoes which would cost nine or ten dollars here in the States retail for $21 to $25 in Melbourne. And American made clothes of a stand- ard raake which cost between $40 and $50 here, sell for $100 to $125 in Mclbourne, Stetson hats made in America, sell at a standard price of $12.50 everywhere in Australia and, incidentally,smore Stetson hats are sold in Australia than in any other foreign country to which this Amer+ ifcan firm sends its products. The resources of Australia as yet are not scratched and the future of this continent is one that cannot be comprehended, in the opinion of the visitor ‘here. ‘The conatruction of the new capital city of Cambria is an example of this. This capital city, designed in a world-wide com- petition by a Chicago architect, is located in the interior about 300 miles from the nearest city. At the 'present time the main raiiroad does not even touch the city. One has to take a line to the nearest point and g0 the rest of the way by bus. The city itself, however, is being devel- oped in such a way that it eventual- ly will become one of the show places of the world and, as the con- tinent is developed, will eventually be In the midst of its activities. American Music Popular American dance orchestras are very popular in Australia and their musical syncopations and latest novelties generally make quite a hit with any social assemblage, the vis- itor says, adding that at present there are several such orchestras in Melbourne and vicinity. The Ameri- can sheet music—the latest popular airs—are distinctly popular with the younger set and those who have friends in the states who mail them coples of the newest pieces are re- garded as fortunate. A. A. Buell also there Albert A. Buell, a former local resident and who was employed at the Stanley Works when he enlisted at the time of the World War, is a brother-in-law of Mr. Perrott and makes his home in Melbourne where he is associated with an important fuel engineering firm which was or- ganized by his father, Going from New Britain (o Mel- bourne takes just a month, the local visitors say.
