Speaking of Sports Robert Mautner of the Centrul Junior high school, yesterday broke the high jump record of the achdol at Willow Broek park with & leap of five feet three and a half inches. He i3 15 years of age and his feat s remarkable considering all the sircumstances. 0 The school record was formerly held by John Reid who did four feet 11 inches in June, 1923. 8econd place was bon by Felix Bresh. ‘The West Ends baseball teany will practice Friday night at 6:30 o'clock at Walnut Hill park.

Barazen has not been able to oreak into the championship class ISSUES LIST OF DOUBLE HEADERS American League Season Behind 38 Games Due to Postponements Chicago, June 20 (A—The Ameri- can league season is in the hole to the extent of 38 games, due to weather postponements, according to a revised schedule of double head- crs issued by President E. 8. Bar- nard. The new schedule calls for a game bhetween Washington and Bos- ton today which originally was list- | ed as an open date. The remainder since he won the apen in 1922 and followed by capturing the profes- sional title the same year and suc- cestully ‘defenging it in 1923. The lorng hitting Gene played in his first open in 1920 and after qualifying in third place finished in a tie for 13th. He finished 19th in 1921 and won as a dark horse when he galloped home with a score of 288 in 1922 at Skokie a stroke ahead of Bobby Jones and John Black, With the responsibility of defend- ing champion on his shoulders, hel could do no better than a tie for 16th in 1923 but in recent years he has been a constant threat. He tied | for fifth in 1925, tied for third in 1926 and was in undisputed posses- | sion of third place in 1927. He was) in a tie for sixth last year. | He failed to qualify in the British { open in 1923 but last year he was runner-up, two strokes behind Wal- ter Hagen. After starting 73-74 in the 1929 British title clash, he took 51 on the third round and practiacl- ly removed himself from the com- petition, finally finishing ninth. The 1929 championship will be de- cided on a course not far from the spot where Gene started out as a humble bag carrier and the Italian- American star will have no difficuity in finding his way about. The rug- ged Winged Foot lay-out suits his game perhaps as well as any course in the country. The former champion likes to go with might an¢ main and there is no question that the 7,000 yards to be negotiated at Mamaroneck will cffer the opportunity for those whe have the courage to defy the traps. ‘Winged Foot has its sand to exact dire penalty for those who miss the greens or fail to stay on them Barazen will be among those taking a chance. the New York Giants Tuesday, went to Boston Wednesday and lost two games to the Braves by scores of 8 to ¢ and 9 to 0.

Nearly every coach is planning to send his boats over the course to test their times today if the temperature is low enough.
