WORLD RECORD SET IN RELAYS I Louisiana State Athlete Smashes All Shot-Put Records WORLD RECORD Des Moines, lu„ Apr. 28. —(U.R)--Tile climax oi 25 years of comimiltion in tlie west's most famous relay carnival was reached today us some of the .lation's finest athletes continued their assault on time and i distance in the silver anniversary lof the Drake relays. | The opening day's preliminaries i produced one of tlie greatest teats !in track and field annals when [.Jack Torrance, Louisiana State's I 280-pound all around athletic star, smashed all shot-put records with a toss of .’>s feet Its inches. With warm weather predicted for today the Giant southerner has hopes of heaving the 16 pound iron ball a few inches farther in today's final. The official world's record is 53 | feet inch, held by Leo Sexton, , former Georgetown star, but this I mark Ims been beaten several I limes. Not until Torrance sent the shot spinning on its long flight yesterday had any man ever bettered 55 feet in competition. In addition to his shot-put achievement, Torrance led the qualifiers in thy discus throw with a murk of 159.95 feet and is favored to capture the two individual titles. Unexpected competition may develop in the 100-yard dash as a result of a leg injury to Ralph Metcalfe. Marquette negro and “world's fastest human." who pulled up lame yesterday in the 440-yard relay, in which his team was shut out. Metcalfe easily won his heat in the preliminaries in 09.7 seconds, but with a game leg he may not have enough drive to beat out Ed Hall. Kansas. Durward (’rooms, Kansas State Teachers (Emporia), who won tlie Kansas relay century last week, and Hunter Russell. Illinois. his three leading competitors in a field of eight.

Ferrell was a holdout this year i over salary matters. Last season he was alternately in ivad and good > favor with the management due to ' outspoken criticism of the team ! management as times Johnson said he did not think [ Cleveland would suffer from hie | loss; that the Indian pitching staff ■ i was well fortified, and that he beI lieved Ferrell's mental attitude I made it impossible for him to be a consistent winner for Cleveland — though he added that he believes he can still be a winner elsewhere. o Guard Is Ordered For Governor’s Daughter i Columbus, O„ April 28—(UP) — Two national guardsmen today I were assigned to guard Mary White daughter of the Ohio governor, as I [the result of a tip that John Dillin- ] I ger s gang is plotting to kidnap the I governor and his daughter.

WARNEKE WINS THIRD IN ROW C u b s Defeat St. Louis Cardinals 3 to 1 In 11 Innings New York. Apr. 28 —(U.R) —That defeat at Chicago yesterday must have been doubly lieart-hreakjng for Messrs. Breadon and Rickey of the St. Louis Cardinals. Breadon and Rickey once > had Lon Warneke, the brilliant Cubs pitcher, in their "chain-store mesh at I-iurel back in 1928. He was picked up by a Cubs scout, and yesterday was on the Chicago mound during the 11 long innings that preceded the Cubs' 3 to 2 triumph. It was Warneke's third straight victory, his first two performances being one-hit affairs. Yesterday he allowed nine scattered hits while the Cubs made 11 off Tex Carleton. It gave the National league leaders their eighth victory in nine starts. The defeat permitted the idle Cincinnati Reds to rise into a sixth.]>lace tie with the Cards, who have won only two games in eight starts. The winning run came in the 11th. Kiki Cuyler singled and went to second on Charlie Grim's

By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright. IBS4 King FeaturM Syndicate. lo« HOLLYWOOD, Calif., — Several publishers and at least one major feature service are after Jean Harlow’s

, novel, but the blonde star is putting them off. The fact is Jean wants to sell the story to the movies. Moreover she wants to play the leading rote. Jean admitted as much to me when I visited her on the set of • “100 Percent Pure.” She said: • “I’ve written a script of the story and I'd like

Harlow

very much to play the girl. It would be more of a straight part than I've I done yet and would carry more sympathy. There’s still some work to be done on the story, but I expect to finish it as soon as this picture is i over.” The star, who has more brains under that mop of blonde hair than some people give her credit for, isn’t in a rush to make a deal. She knows the exploitation value of a novel by Jean Harlow and she’ll probablv cash in. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer already has asked to read the story. Children are easy to fool, but it pays to answer their questions as truthfully as possible. In the days of silent pictures, John Miljan’s step-son was much upset because daddy was always getting whipped in screen fights. John took the easiest way and told him: “I could really lick those fellows, but you see I get $5 every time I get hit on the jaw.’’ Came the talkies and pictures didn’t have so many fights. John's boy has evidently been thinking it over, for the other night he came out of a theater looking troubled. John asked him if he didn’t like the film. “Yeah, daddy," said the youngster, “but we don’t make so much money any more, do we?” Perhaps he han his tongue in his cheek but Erich Von Stroheim appears to tell it seriously. Months ago, he says, a Hollywood ■ seeress predicted the terrible injuries his wife received during a beauty treatment. And she also!

Montpelier Man Killed In Wreck Hartford City. Ind.. Apr. 28. — | (U.R) —James .M. Smith/64. Montpelier. was fatally injured and four Detroit residents were injured in a cross-roads automobile accident today at Adslphia Gardens. seven miles north of here, on state road 3.

All are made from brass casings of one-pounder shells, donated to the boys by their fathers who were in the World War.

foretold a critical three weeks' period in Von’s life when he probably would commit suicide. If he resisted, she promised good fortune. The director says he visited the seeress again last week and she told him that the danger time is now started. Percy Westmore, who knows all about makeup, says that Paul Muni goes in for more realism along this line than anyone since Emil Jennings. This week Muni stopped for a traffic light at the corner of Beverly Boulevard and Vermont. Miguel Gonzalez, a 20-year-old newsboy, was crying his wares. The star, who is about to play a Mexican in “Border Town,” saw just the type he had been looking for. He got out of his car and hired the boy on the spot The astonished newsboy now will work for six weeks as a sort of valet for Muni. The star will use him as a model for makeup. Herr Jennings, the same sort of stickler for detail, achieved a climax when he was making “Sins of a Father.” The script called for him to appear as a down-and-outer. Instead of letting the studio supply a ragged outfit, he made a pilgrimage to the midnight missions. That evening, an amazed bum traded suits with a welldressed foreigner, pocketed a $5 tip and shuffled quickly away before the stranger came

to his senses. Joel McCrea will take up horse-raising on a commercial basis. Several weeks ago the star had no thought of such a hobby. He bought nine horses for S4OO and sent them out to his ranch. In 30 days they were so much improved in condition that the

star sold five of them for his original investment and a SSO profit. He now plans to buy 20 more and to establish a stable to rent to motioa picture companies. DID YOU KNOW— That Marie Dressier. at the age of 15, played the role of Katisha ! in “The Mikado’’?
