WORLD RECORDS ARE SHATTERED Olympic Stars Continue To Better Records of Former Meets Lob Angeles, Aug. 3. —(U.R) Olympic and world records were scattered all over the place today as contesttmis in the international tests began the fourth day of track and held events Five new performances in record marks were added yesterday to those of the days before. Tuesday’s show contained rec-| ord breaking or record-equalling performances in 200-meter dash, Buo-meter run. HU-meter hurdles. I women's discus and women's 100-1 meter dash. The MO-meter semi finals and. finals wijl he run today. This com petition, past its first and second stages, contained one of the most tru y international fields of any of tile events.

FOR the past eight months, the sporting public has been reading reports of the phenomenal i performances of America’s numerous track and field aces. World’s records have fallen with monotonous regularity; and new “super-stars” have arisen almost overnight. On past performances, therefore, one must give the ballyhooed American champions a definite edge over the invading horde of foreign Olympic stars in most of the track and field events; BUT—you can’t win an Olympic title on past performances or on newspaper reputation, as a great many famed American stars have found out in the last couple of Olympiads. It will be a long time before Uncle Sam forgets what happened to his highly touted athletes in 1928, when they won but a single in the flat running events from the 100-meters to the marathon, and in 1924, when our celebrated track marvels met the same fate. fast Olympic experience has |

He made the distance lin 14.4 after Jack Keller, of Ohio i State, had won his heat in 14.5. for a temporary hold on the recI ord. Lillian Copeland, of California, set a new women's discus mirk of 133 feet. 2 inches. This was a j I world and Olympic record.

The Olympic track and field games reached the dizzy stage toI day. They were to begin with the ' 50,000 meter walk. The heel and toe boys will begin their battle at '2:30, and will conclude somewhere' around 6:30. Fifty thousand m.t-j ers, incidentally, is quite a loti more than 50,000 yards, and there are 1.760 yards to a mile. The long i walk, fortunately or not, will be ' held on another field than the one contained in Olympic stadium. The pole vault, discus. 110 meter hurdles. 1,500-meter tria's, women's 80-meter hurdles also were listed. — o The Misses Gwendolyn Stuckey.

taught the foreign athletes to take the tales of America’s athletic sup-er-men with several grains of salt. Will the invading athletes at Los Angeles repeat their past triumphs in the flat races? There is no way of telling; but one thing is certain — American trackmen face a very formidable field of runners this week. As usual, the hardy sons of Finland will be the chief threats to America’s Olympic supremacy. With their marvelous endurance, the Finns seem to take naturally to the distance runs; and they will again dominate these races, although, according to Nurmi, the Finnish squad is not as strong in some events as formerly. The chief opposition to the Finns in the long races will probably come from Kusocinski, the great Polish star, and in the marathon the threats will be De Bruyn, of Germany, Zabala, of Argentina, and the Japanese runners. Besides Da Bruyn in the mars I thou, Germany has strong contend-

GRIMM NEW CUB MANAGER Hornsby Let Go by Chicano Cubs; Marks Passing of Great Player Philadelphia, Aug 3—<U.R> After nearly 18 years in tile Nationi al league. Rogers Hornsßy. one of ■ the greatest batsmen of all time, ' today was out of organized baseball -dismissed as manager of the Chicago Cubs. In his place as Cubs' manager was Charley Grimm, veteran first i baseman who has served as field capta'|t miler Hornsby and his predecessor. Joe McCarthy. President William Veeck an- , tiounced Hornsby's outright release as manager and player last night "for the best interests of the team" after a long conference [ between them behind closed doors on the team's arrival here from Brooklyn, where they lost ' three out of four games. Hornsby's contract does not expire until December 31. 1932. and I President Veeck announced that ■ he would be paid in full. Grimm i was given an increase in salary, and will continue to play first base along with his managerial duties. During his checkered career, in I which lie rose to a position of the 1 highest paid player in the Nation- ■ al league and second only to Babe 1 Ruth. Hornsby has played with four teams, managed three of them and been transferred in three of baseball's most . ing deals. Hornsby's salary was . said to be $40,000 a year. His dismissal by the Cubs last i night came with the same dramatic suddenness which characteriz-! ed his transfer from the New York Giants to the Boston Braves in January. 1928. for two obscure ' players. At that time it also was

ers in both sprints and in the 400 and 800-meter events Japan’s best flat runners are Yoshioka, Japanese sprint king, and the marathon aces, Yahagi and Takahashi. England has a number of strong middle-distance contenders, and several excellent sprinters. The Italians pin their track hopes upon the European 1500-meter champion, Beccali, and the eversmiling Ugo Frigerio, Olympic walking champion. And so it goes, right on down the line. France, Argentina, Poland, Australia, South Africa, Canada and the rest all have their favorites, touted as possible winners in the flat races. As for the field competition, there, too, foreign stars will be in the thick of the fight in all but one or two events. All in all, it looks like Uncle Sam is in for a tough siege at the hands of these friendly invading armies. Cwrrithl. 1111. Klu VMluru SrndlcnU, IM.
