TRACK RECORDS ARE THREATENED By Bert Demby, UP Staff Correspondent Chicago, June 8.-OJ.R; A great UM) yard dash field and possible record breaking performances in other events were the feature attractions today as the beat of the country’s athletes went into the finals of the eighth annual national intercollegiate track and field meet. The meet was off to an auspicious start yesterday when one world's record was broken, one tied, and one meet mark shattered In the preliminary events. The world’s record went to Pete Rasmus, Ohio State, who tossed the discus 159 feet, 1 7-8 inches, to better the old mark held by Bud Houser. Houser’s distance was 158 feet 1 3-4 inches, but that was bettered by Carl Jatk. Army, who a few weeks ago set up a mark of 158 feet, 7 1-2 inches. However. Jack’s mark has not been recognized yet. The world mark was tied by Eddie Toland. Michigan, and George Simpson, Ohio State, both of whom stepped, the 100 yards in 9.5 seconds. That time was set by Tolan himself, two weeks ago at Evanston, 111., and has not been officially sanctioned but since there was little wind it was believed Eddie would receive credit for the performance. There was only a cross wind yesterday and the opinion prevailed that the performances of both Simpson and Tolan would be recognized. Both men have been running the hundred consistently in 9.6 seconds and they were favored in the finals today- although they will be competing against one of the greatest sprinting fields in years. Besides Tolan and Simpson. Claude Bracey. Rice Institute and Cy Leland, Texas Christian, were regarded as. possible winners. Bo’h Bracey and Leland ran their preliminary heats in 9.6 seconds. Tolan's style is peculiar. He has a short stride and is a slow starter. AL) most always he is second or third at; the 50 yard mark and pulls away to | win by a step in the last 50 yards. | Simpson, a fast starter has a longer, stride and was favored slightly over, the Michigan man. There were many, who believed both Simpson and 1 Bracey might beat Tolan. Carl Rothert. Stanford, broke tfie.; meet mark in the shotput with a heave of 50 feet. 3 inches, 2 1-4 inches better than the old mark held by John Kuck, .the Kansan. Rasmus’ throw in the discus was not the best effort of the preliminaries hut Edward Moeller, Oregon, fouled after he had registered a distance 0f'159 feet, 10 inches.

o Watching The Scoreboard By United Press Yesterday’s Hero: Charley Root, Chicago pitcher who held the Brooklyn Robins to four hits and gave the Cubs their sixth consecutive victory of the year over Brooklyn, 11 to 2. John Moore, reserve outfielder, led the Chicago attack with a home run and three singles in four trips. The defeat left Brooklyn in the National League cellar and elevated the Cubs into second place. The New York Giants rapped out a smart 8 to 1 victory over St. Louis, their third in a row in the western city, dropping the league champions into third place. The Cardinals led the league when New York invaded St. Louis for the first of the three game series. Pitssburgh strengthened its grip on first place by checking Boston, 6 to 2, at Pittsburgh. Ed Brandt allowed the Pirates only nine hits, but walked six men, five of whom scored, losing his own game. Six National League club presidents saw the Reds stop Philadelphia, 7 to G, in an 11 inning game at

The New Golf Ball Golfers who are looking forward to the birth of the new ball some 18 months hence need have no serious qualms about its effect upon the average man’s game. The chances are that the duffer won't be able to tell the old ball trona the new without comparing them close iyAfter all, it is not going to be quite like swatting at a tennis ball. The difference In diameter is only 6-100 of an inch, while the new hall will be a fraction lighter. The change will hardly be apparent except to the expert. . But the new ball will sit up better in the fairways, and that is something of great importance to the duffer. Probably the green keeper and those in charge of keeping the fairways in

Cincinnati. The Phillies totaled 13 sinles, three doubles and one homo run—Hurst’s 10th of the season — during the game but to no avail. Cincinnati made 16 hits. The Cleveland Indians loosed another barrage of base hits at New York to beat the Yankees for the second time in a row. 7to 3. The defeat dropped the Yanks from second to third place. The Philadelphia Athletics lost n game to St. Louis, at Philadelphia. 15 to 6, when four Athletic pitchers were unable to hold the slugging Browns to less than 18 hits. Six and one-half games separate the two teams. Thirty-fonr safe hits featured Detroit’s 17 to 11 victory at Washington. The Tigers made 23 of the blows. Going into the ninth with the score tied at 11 runs, the Detroit nine scored six runs to clinch the decision. — o STANDINGS CENTRAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct.

shape will appreciate this. Silencing the Critics Champions have away of striking their stride just about the time that the critics start shedding tears over their collapse. Such has been the case with Rene LaCoste and the New York Yankees. It was said earlier in the spring that LaCoste was through as a ranking star, washed up and probably ready for ping pong. Then he settled dow to some serious international tennis and proved as unbeatable as of yore. The Yankees didn’t get into first place during their home series, and baseball fans began to consider their “successors.” Then Miller Huggins took his club into the west, and opposing American League teams just couldn’t get the boys out.
