AMERICA WELL IN THE LEAD U. S. Athletes Have Piled Up Enormous Margin of Points Les Angeles, Aug. 4 (U.R) The I United stales track and field steam j iol.«r was geared today to con- I tfntle Hie enormous margin over its rivals in the tenth modern . Olympiad. While there Is no recognized . point score for the international ■ games, every nation keeps one. and 1 the unofficial system, used by the I United Press, as well as the ' first : place only" system adopted by I some European nations, each placed i Americac well Inta the lead. The United Press score sheet i gave the V. S. 151 points. Great [ Britain was second with 28. Unit j ed States had seven firsts, ami the Irish Free State and Great Britain, each had two. Three men’s tinals were listed for today. Japan, with Hs I ri’liant Kenki- | < hi Oehiima as well as Nambu ami Oda, should be ab e to capture chief laurels In the hop, step and ; jump. Maitl Henrik Jarvinen. of Fin-I land, -holder of the world's unofficial javelin throw record of 239-ft., f.Vi-in.. along with his teammates, Pvnttils and Sippala. were the aces it, this classic event. But the United States had quail- i Red three men, G'enn Cunningham t of Kansas, Norman Penrose Hollo- . we 1. Jr., of Harvard, and Frank Crowley of Manhattan, in the semi- I finals of the 1,500-meter, and these ; men at least promised a serious battle with John Edward Lovelock 1 of New Zealand, and Luigi Beccali j of Italy, winners of the second and I tliird heats. Cunningham won the ! first heat. The track and field program - reached its fifth day, with new record performances coming in almost j monotonous regularity. Four events were decided at Olympic stadium yesterday and there were record performances in each. Most exciting was the 200 meter ‘ dash final, won by Eddie Tolan of Detroit in 21.2. This mark sup-1 planted the 21.4 performances of Luti of Argentina, and Jonath of) Germany, in the trial events. It 1 a so established a new world mark j for a 200-meter around a turn. America made its second -clean; sweep of the first three places of , an event in the 200, for George I Simpson of Ohio was second, and Ralph hietealfe of Marquette, third. U. S. stars also finished, one-two- ' three when George Baling of lowa flashed home first, with PercyBeard of Alabama, second, and Jack Keller, of Ohio, third with the 115 meter high hurdles. Saling's time of 14.fi equalled the official Olym-1 pic mark, but he had made an un- . flicial mark of 14.4 in the semi- j final tests. These blanket performances by ' Americans twice sent the United . Stales colors up each of the threehonor mastheads over the archway peristyle, giving the more patriotic ' spectators an abiding thrill. There was also a record perfor- 1 matice in the dramatic pole vault contest. Lanky Bill Miller of Stan-

CHIEF among the South Amer- | ican Olympic contenders nowcompeting in the games at Los Angeles are the-colorful Argentine athletes. The Argentine squad may not be so large, but it boa.sts of a number of formidable Olympic threats. 1 Pina and Lutti have done 10.4 and I 10.5 respectively in the 100-nieter i dash; while Argentina’s sprint re1 lay team has been timed in 41.8 sec- . onds for 400-meters. Frederico ‘ Kleger, champion hammer-thrower. ! has a distance of 167 feet to his credit. One of the sturdy Argentine Indians is Luis Oliva, who competes in the steeplechase. Like many traditional Indians of fiction, Luis says j he doesn’t know his own age. Hector Berra is probably South America’s most versatile athlete. He has done better than 7500 points in the decathlon, and can broad jump

mile. The events will start promptlyl at one o'clock. The program will! consist of a parade of all riders, I teeter-totter, elyninati n race, polo game, potato race for girls, finilj I race, trick riding, broad jump, and I weiner snatching. An admission charge of ten and t twenty-five cents will be made. The money collected will be distributed j among the riders. Grandstand seats also will he provided. _ o NEXT CONCERT ON TUESDAY CONTINUED EHOM PAGE? ONE t had offers frcm other band or- • ganizations to give the concert next week and selection will be made in a few days. The concert was changed from Wednesday to Tuesday evening because the former date conflicted with Wednesday night church services in the city. The stores remained opened last I night and every effort was made to | ' please the crowd that visited De-1 catur. i MAY NOT FILL COURT VACANCY FOR TEN DAYS ' CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE 8, so the last day for naming the candidate would be September 7. It is probable that whoever Governor Leslie appoints for the vacancy will be the Republican candidate in the November election, I thus eliminating a contest between Republicans for the nomination. It i is assumed that a Republican will i be named by the Governor, leaving the field open as far as preferance i is concerned among the Democrats.

' 24 *-i feet. He is also a fine sprinter : and discus-thrower However, the Argentine athletes who are best known to the American public are those two colorful stars with the melodious names: Zorilla and Zabala. Albert Zorilla is a truly great swimmer. A veteran of Olympic competition, he won the 400-meter crown in the last Olympiad, defeat- . ing such swimmers as “Boy” Charl- - ton of Australia. Arne Borg of | Sweden and Clarence Crabbe of the United States. Zorilla has been training at Los Angeles for some time, preparing to defend his title against the same rivals he defeated in 1928. He has competed in America before, and is well-known to U S. swimming fans. The other famous Argentine athlete now at Los Angeles is the “Wild Hare of the Pampas." Juan Carlos Zabala.

In this respect it was pointed out that "savings clauses” i would make both bills effective, excepting for such portions as might .be found unconstitutional. In the face of the opinion by Wai- j ter Myers, Dem.. Indianapolis. | [speaker of the house, that the bids could not lie recalled, efforts were! considered to pass substitute bills, eliminating the objectionable pro-j visions, and correcting titles, but otherwise remaining the same. It appeared extremely doubtful, how-1 ever, that substitutes would have I - time to complete the legis'ative > circuit.

S. distance records while competing in New York an, Chicago earlier in the season. Juan is another former newsboy who hamade good in a big way as an ath lets. Zabala’s running mate on the Ar gentine team is Jose Ribas, a real veteran of the track. He is 29 years old and, like Zabala, is an ex-news boy. Many Buenos Aires fans rate him the equal of Zabala. Both of these two distance runners rate with the world’s best in the 10.000 meters and marathon events. Win or lose, the Argentine ath letes will add plenty of color to the great sports pageant now under way at the big stadium in Los Angeles. I Copyright, I*l2 King Veglurg, Sm4ira:a, Ing.
