There is much doubt in many minds about this. In the Australian contingent, feared by some American supporters, are at least two stars of the first magnitude in Jack Crawford and Harry Hopman Crawford, it will be remembered, reached the finals in-the American national, championship in 1928, losing onty to Frank Hunter, then at the peak of his talented game. The other two members of the team are D. P Turnbull and Ray Dunlop, youngsters both, but with bright tennis futures before them.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, MAY 2.3, 19.32,

. BENNETT IS BIG 10 STAR Chicago, May 23. — (U.R) — Don Bennett, red-haired Ohio State sophomore, is the new sprint champion of the Big Ten and one of the leading contenders for a berth on the Olympic team as a result of his spectacular foot racing in the western conference track and field championships last Week. Bennett tied the recognized world's record of 9.5 seconds in i the 100-yard dash and clipped onetenth second off the world's revI ord by running the 220-yard dash |in 20.5 seconds. Neither of these | marks will be given consideration ’ as records liecaush he raced with a wind at his back. The fact that Bennett was aided by the wind detracts little from his two victories because of the ease with which he beat the Big Ten’s beet sprinters, in previous competition this year he has shown speed which places him in the front rank of this country's runners. He won the 100-yard dash in the Penn relays in 9.9 and he tiel the Olympic records of 10.4 in the 100-tneters and 21.6 in the 200 meters In races this spring. Bennett's career is similar to that of Frank Wykoff of Southern California in that he took np foot racing for his health. As a youngster he had lung trouble and for two years was confined to a fresh air hospital in his home town of Toledo, O. Members of the Toledo police department formed a pool and Ismglit him his first pair of spiked ' shoes when he was a thin lad

No. 7 and then in 1930 he rose to No 3. In this same year his play at Wimbledon was really brilliant and he turned back some of the greatest players in the world to reach the finals to be opposed by Big Bill Tilden. He was defeated by Tilden — who incidentally was playing the closing Wimbledon of his career — but only after a gorgeous fight. The score was 6—3. 9—7. 6—4. Despite his brilliant play in 1930 he was not selected for the Davis Cup of last year. An oversight—- , if it may be called such — that caused considerable comment and revived the famous “tennis honeymooners” controversy of a few years back. Allison drew the ire of the tennis officials when he married just before the Davis Cup matches a few years ago and insisted upon taking hi? bride on the, trip abroad. After that lawn tennis honeymoons became taboo. This, however, seems to be Al- • bson’s year. Two victories over ‘he champion, Ellsworth Vines, have fallen tq his lot this season, and these victories have instilled : a confidence, which, coupled with his real ability, may bring him to 'the top before next Fall. 1 Uowrwht.

training to build up his constitution. Later when he entered high school he showed promise as a sprinter and in 1928 qualified for the Olympic final tryouts at Cambridge, Mass., where he finished second to George Simpson in one heat of the 100 meters but was eliminated in the quarterfinals. He was third to Tom Shew of Dayton and Roland Locke, world’s record holder in the 220-yard dash, in fils first 200-meter trial but was eliminated In the quarter-finals. Bennett is a straight-up runner, and probably is better suited for the 200-meters than the century. His style is somewhat similar to George Simpson, who was credited with 9.4 in the hundred and 20.8 in the 220 during his undergraduate days at Ohio State.

In competition this" spring Bennett, Ralph Metcalfe. Marquette negro, and Bob Kiesol of California have shown the most speed of the college racers. Metcalfe won the 100-yard dash In the Drakj relays tn 9.5 and holds victories over Simpson and Eddie Tolan. former Michigan negro, in the short sprints. Klesel defeated Frank Wykoff, Southern California star who lias been bothered by an injured back, in the 100-yard dash in a California meet Saturday, in 9.5. o — Froebel Wins Meet Indianapolis, May 23. (U.R) Froebel high school of Gary ran up 53% points, the largest number ever registered by one team in a state track meet, to win its fifth consecutive Indiana title at Butler Field Saturday. In the 18 events. Froebel took eight firstq. Elkhart was second witli 22 points and Technical of Indianapolis third with 20.

Twenty-Three Make Qualifying Marks i Indianapolis. May 23. — (U.R) - Twenty-tli e autos had qualified at unprecedent speeds as time trials for the 20th annual race at the Indianapolis speedway continued today. Numerous drivers brongh their mounts on the track yesterday hut only two took their trial runs of four laps around the two and onehalf mile oval. Wi'bur Shaw, driving Ra'ph Hepburn's entry, qualified at 114.326 miles an hour. Al Aspen, who finished 14th in last year's race, set a pace of 108. From the field of 72 entries, the 40 setting the fastest qualifying time will face the starter Memorial Day. Ixiuis Schneider, winner of the 1931 event, was expected to make his trial today. The huge 16-cylinder two-cycle auto piloted by Leon Duray. caught fire while he was making a practice spin. A spectator extinguished the [flames before any damage was caused. It was announced that Babe Stapp, who was to have driven the Gilmore Special, was forced to withdraw because of injuries he suffered in a racing accident on the west coast severa, 1 weeks ago. Oldfield Not To Drive Indianapolis, May 23.

"1 have decided to use Bob McDonough as pilot of the four wheel drive car which the F. W. D. company is sponsoring in the race." Oldfield said. “1 have been out of training so long that it seems impractical to attempt to ride in traffic ; with the younger pilots at Indianapolis."

ANOTHER Christy Mathewson! How often have big league baseball fans heard that description applied to some young pitcher burning through his first season in the big show? And how often has the young phenom turned out to be ju*t another pitcher’ Well, too often to enumerate. But now comes Manager Carey, of the Brooklyn Dodgers, with the opinion that "Wes” Ferrell, the big right-hander of the Cleveland Indians, i* in truth another "Christy Mathewson." And Ferrell’* record to date seems to lend weight to Carey’* great praise. Ferrell joined the Cleveland Indians in 1927, having matriculated from a nemi-pro team in i East Douglas, Maas Two years I

CHICAGO HAS TWO SUICIDES Youth Kills Self In Plane; (Jiri Leaps To Her Death Chicago, May 23. -(U.R) The mystery of the identity of a beuu [ tiful young woman who plunged lo her death clad only In stylish crimson pajamas from a 25th [ story room of a Michigan Avenue! hotel depccued today. The woman, about 25 years old. registered at the Stevens hotel a few hours before she jumped to her death after slashing her wrists with a razor blade. She gave the name "E. Goddard" and an address that was discovered to I’ei a Northwestern University men's I dormitory. All clues to her identity had tailed today. Tlie suicide was discovered ‘ I when guests heard Hjc crash of I the liody as it landed on a filth I floor balcony. No witnesses to 'be i leap were discovered but after a: systematic hunt through hotel; rooms, police discovered 1(1 ood j stains in a room directly over where the body had fallen. All identification labels had been ripped from the woman's clothing. On the hotel table was a copy i of Oscar Wilde's "The Ballad of! Reading Gaol." It was opened to a verse which ’ police believed held the motive o her act. The line, "Yet each man I kills the thing he loves," was ■ bracketed.

later he took his regular '/rn on the mound and turned in 21 victories, against 10 defeats. In 1930 his record was 25 victories and 13 defeats. And last year he won 22 and lost 12 and had the distinction of pitching a no-hit game against the St. Louis Browns on April 29. Always a hard worker, Ferrell is out this season to win at least 30 games. And already he is well on the way to that mark. To further his chances the 23-year-old youngster is not averse to working out of turn. In fact he has several times requested permission to work when he should have been resting.
