A short while later, he coasted in second to Hector | Dyer. Isis Angeles, in the 200 met-1 ers. Observers declared Tolan I veasily could have overtaken Dyer,, but he apparently chose to save his j , strength. ! There were at least three upsets , yesterday. Eugene Record, Har-j yard, and Jimmy Payne, U. S. C„ failed to qualify In the 400-meters hurdles, and Robert Jones, bitantord. did not place in the discus.

Sriedeker boxing show last night in i the open arena at First and Jackson street. In the first of the features Con- ] rad knpcked Gardner out of the j nng and fell on him, pulling the ! ropes, posts, and lights along.

AT last they are here. The final Olympic trials. The crucial test in which the cream of the nation's'amateur athletes will step out and determine just who is going to be who in the Olympic games. These tryouts will bring to a close about nine months of the most hectic competition ever seen in track and field events. Marks which before this pre-Olympic campaign had stood on the books for years, fell not once hut several times before the terrific onslaught of fleet, strong and vigorous young Americans, The mile run has taken its lickings. The mark in this event, held by Joie Ray and Paavo Nurmi (on the board tracks) seemed fairly intact until Gene Venzke ramp along. Then the Pottstown srhootboy made 'em stand up and take notice.

SENATORS IN WINNING ROLE New York. July 16- UR)— Walter Johnson’s Senators, fighting, to get back into first division of j the American league, have heartened Washington supporters by winning two straight games from the St. Louis Browns. The St. Louis aggregation, strangely enough, has been a stumbling block in the big train's pennant path for several seasons. l Prior to the present series, the Browns won seven of the eight games played witli Washington. But despite absence of Carl Reynolds. Johnson's men heat the Browns yesterday, 8 to 7, thereby increasing their winning streak to seven straight games. The Senators' two victories j over St. Louis were not easy. On Thursday they battled for 12 long innings, before Washington won, 5 to 4. and yesterday the Browns gave Johnson cold chills in the eighth inning when they rallied tor runs. Joe Cronin, most determined battler on Washington team, drove in the winning run with a double in the eighth. This victory enabled the Senators to keep close on the heels of the fourth-place Detroit Ttgers who bowled over the Philadelphia Athletics, 11 to 10, in 11 innings. Jonathon Stone. Detroit outfielder. led the Tigers attack with two home runs and a single, accounting for four (allies. A1 Simmons made three home runs and a double for the A's, boosting his home run total to 24. Philadelphia’s defeat cost Connie Mack a chance to pass the second-place Cleveland Indians who were halted in their winning streak at five straight fcjy losing to the New York Yankees, 8 to 5. Lefty Gomez registered his 15th victory in 19 starts. For the second successive day, i the Chicago White Sox travelled i H innings to beat the Boston Red Sox. The score was 4 to 2.

door mark by a few fractions of a second by pounding the Madison Square Garden boards and breaking the tape in 4.12. The world cheered and registered amazement. Not so much because the mark had been broken, but because of the manner in which Venzke coasted home. He was stronger, sports writers commented, in his last hundred yards, than he was in the first few laps. V short few days later, while the details of Venzke's victory were being spread over the world, this amazing. 23-year old schoolboy toed the mark again on the same track Rang! He was off He paced himself beautifully. He kept an even stride. Then, in the last quarter he broke into a sprint. By yards and still more yards he widened the distance between him and his closest competitors. And when

The Phillies replaced the St. Louis Cardinals in fourth place in the National league by the fraction of a percentage point when they nosed out the Cincinnati; Reds. 4 to 3, in 12 innings, while, the Cards lost to the New York Giants, 12 to 4.

Wyckoff, Simpson, Dyer, Tolan, i Toppino and the rest of the sprintt ers held up their end. hovering around the fastest times ever ac- : complished. In unofficial trials, nearly all of them are reported to , have lowered the marks in the . sprints. In the field events, perhaps the most formidable field ever to represent Uncle Sam is ready. Sexton, Brix—you could go through a list of names long enough to fill a page and still not exhaust the names of the athletes who are ready. But only a few of them will survive the final trials this week-end. their names no one can list yet. 1 Copyright. 1132. kin* Kculure* Syndicate. Inc

STATE POLICE HAVEPATROLED MILES OF ROADS Report Shows Police Have Patroled Nearly One Million Miles MANY STOLEN CARS are recovered 1 Indian! state police during the > first half of the present year have t atroled the highways foi a total o 989.715 miles, Patrolman Hai (Spot) Hollingsworth said today.

In proportion to number of men,, then these foices are doing generally. in only a few cases are these 1 organization- doing approximately| us much work as tue Indiana men. State policemen, with assistance’ !of local officers, have recover ! 1 ed during tile nine months since the : ! start of the present fiscal year, the j local policemen said, stolen automobiles worth, cn a conservative | estimate $189,500. That is $20,500, moie, he pointed out, than the cost ‘ of the entile department during the last fiscal ye.r to the motorists of , the state, who pay all state police bills. In addition, the department’s work on automobil • titles, licenses and transfers has brought into tile j.-tate treasury several thousands 1 of d,4la:s. | During the present year. Mr. Garrott’s report continues, st ite police have had mechanical defects on automobiles and title and license improprieties corrected in 24,487 cases. They have made 277 arrests, covered 431 accidents and investi--1 gated 38 automobile fatalities.

The department has just revampi ed its patrol plan, inaugurated in | July last year. Their notable adj vatices last year, enumerated in the j | report, included an improved plan for protecting children on the high-' ways, particularly those using | school busses, new patrol regula- 1 tions virtually eliminating fatal ac-l cidents on the Dunes Highway and corporation in gathering crime statistics for the U.
