AMERICAN ATHLETES GO BIG IN WORLD GAMES Taylor Wins 400-Meters —Osborne Takes High Jump and Legendre Breaks Record in Broad Jump, By HENRY FARRELL United Press SUifl Ur.rre spend >,it COLOMBES STADIUM, PARIS, July 7.—The first American victory in a final Olympic track event was registered this afternoon when G. U. Taylor. Grinnell College, won the 400 metre hurdles. Ten points were chalked up for America.

Charlie Brookins. U. S. A., finished ! second in the 460-metre hurdles, but ; was disqualified for leaving his lane lat the turn. Blackett. England was j disqualified for tipping over too many hurdles. In Fast Time Taylor's time in the 400 metres was better than the previous world's record, although not as fast as that which he himself established in earnj ing a place on the team in the Cam- ! bridge tryouts. The 800. metre semi-finals were run i in three heats, three men to qualify for the finals. The first heat was won hv Stallard. England, with Bill Richardson. U. S. A., second, and Martin. Switzerland, third. Time. 1:54 1-5. The second semi-final heat of the £OO meters was won l>v Lowe, the great Irish middle-distance runner, with Houghton. England, second, and "Soapy' Watters of Harvard. ! third. Time, 1:56 4-5. V. S. Runner Hurt The American team suffered a se. vr a blow, however, when Dodge, after finishing in the SOO meters, spiked himself and limped to the dressing-room with Mood streaming from his ankle. Vilem of Finland finished second to Taylor in the 400-meter event, bearing Ivan Reilley, U. S. A., and Andre. France, who were third and fourth respectively. Taylor's victory and Reilley's third raised America's point score to 20. Finland still was in the lead with 35 points Sweden was third with 1 11. Boh Legendre. New Jersey star, broke the world's record for the broad jump in penahalon competition : this afternoon with a leap of 7.76 ' metres. Yankee Flag Cheered The cheers that greeted the first appearance of the American flag on the scoring standard were doubled when Legendre's record breaking performance was announced. Transputer into English he jumped 25 feet 6 inches, or 3 inches farther than any one ever leaped before. Once more the American flag was raise-' when Harold Osborne. U. F. A., shattered an Olympic record tn | winning the high jump with a leap , lof 6 feet 6 inches. Leroy Brown, j I T . S. A., was second and Lewden France, third. This meant 15 more points for the United States. Osborne failed in an attempt to establish anew world’s record in the high jump, after winning the even' foi the United States. The United States failed to place i man in the 10,000-meter run Sunday. which was taken by Willie Ritola, an American-trained Finn, in world’s record time. Verne Booth. 'U. S. A.. . was the first American home, and he finished no better than twelfth. The Olympic committee barred Ritola from running for the United States. Finland won seventeen points In this event. Ritola ran one of the greatest races in the history of modern Olympiads and did not even know the race was over when he crossed the line. He was starting an extra lap when officials caught him. Oberst Is Third The javelin throw was the other final event contested Sunday. This was won by Myrra, the powerful Finn. Eugene Oberst of Notre Dame , University took third, providing four points for the United States, while William Neufeldt, of the University of California, was fifth, ao- : counting for two more points. This show was better than had been ex j pected. All four Americans entered In the 1 00 meters qualified—Loren Murchison. Chet Bowman. Jackson V. S holz and Charlie Paddock. The track Sunday was slow, soaked by a heavy downpour, but the running of the Americans in the - trials was impressive. America’s team suffered a set hack when Irwin, one of America's steeplechase stars, was forced to abandon today’s race owing to a bad knee. Joie Ray is in bad shape. He was badly beaten by one of the other American in a work out today. New Courts at Highland The Highland Golf and Country Club opened four new tennis courts Sunday afternoon. Matches were staged between club members. The new swimming pool soon will be ready for use.

TILDEN DEM ONSTRA TES WHY HE IS TENNIS KING Hennessey Makes Fine Showing in Western Tourney— Leo Kurzrock of Butler Winner in Junior Division, Indianapolis' big week of tennis is past and the Western champions are decided, but the memories of one of the best tourneys ever held in this city will linger long in the minds of the net enthusiasts. Bill Tilden, as was expected, won the singles’ title. His seintillating play was the big feature of the meet.

Tilden is one of -he outstanding | champions of the sport world, and >: is doubtful if there is any title holder more of a king than Bill. Much local interest was arouse I ; by the great play of Johnny Ilennes sey, who was runner-up. Johnny gained much national fame by de- j feating Norton, former Smith Af j rlcan Davis cup player, and Patter : son. captain of this year's Australian Davis cup challengers. The finals Sunday brought on* aj large gallery with the main interest centered on the Ilennessey-Tihlen match. There were not many who thought the local youth had much chance with the world's champion, j but they wanted to see the battle. Johnny Fights Hard Tilden won in straight sets. 6-2.* 6-1, 6-2, hut Johnny fought a courageous fight and gave the Phlla- i delphian the most competition he en : countered here. Tilden was at his very best form in the Western meet | and no other man in the world can j r omper s with the tennis master | playing as he did at Woodstock. Patterson - Schlesinger won the! final jn the doubles from Hennessey- j Chapfn only after a struggle, how ever, 7-5. 8-6, 6-4. It was a case of better team work against individual ! play. Hennessey had defeated Pal-! terson in the singles and Chapin had administered defeat to Schlesinger. j But the doubles was a different story. Kurzrock Victor Leo Kurzrock cf Indianapolis. Butler College player, was the only local winner. He defeated Tom McGlynn of Philadelphia, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in the junior division. Leo has improved remarkably within the last year. Walter Thomas of East Orange, N. J., took the boys' singles by defeating Phil Pike of Bloomington, 6-2, 2-6, 6-3. Thomas was a little fellow, compared to his opponent, but he had the stuff to come through for a well-e arned victory. In the women’s division, Chicago j players had things their own way. j Miss Leighton and Mrs. Adler, two j evenly matched performers from the Windy City, fought it out in the singles with Miss Leighton emerging the champion. The scores were 6-2, 6-4. Miss Leighton is a fine, strong player and well deserves the honor. Miss Leighton and Mrs. Adler, paired in the| doubles, had no trouble in winning from Mrs. Reise of Saginaw, M:ch., and Mrs. Ste-Wart of Chicago, 6-0, 6-1. TOURNAMENT NOTES Never in victory did Johnny Hennessey look as good or play as splendid tennis as he did Sunday in defeat Johnny gave everything he had. and at the end of the match scarcely could stand on his feet. He played a brand of tennis that would have defeated any but a marvellous player, and in Tilden he was up against the world s greatest singles player. Tilden said after the match that he never had played better tenuis. Hennessey’s greatest heights were reached in he final set. when groggy, worn, tired and facing Inevitable defeat he

ERVEN LASKAWITZ, who won the two-mile river "marathon” of the Hoosier A.

He is affiliated with the H. A. C . where, under the tutelage of Coach D. Melville Carr, he is developing into a star. Thelma Darby won fifth place in the annual II A.

Johnny s one outstanding weakness wlii.'ti cost him heavily w .as a lamentably weak service which Tilden simply slaugh tend at times. The outcome of the doubles was a great surprise to the gallery. Hennessey had defeated Patterson, Chapin had dis posed of Sohlesinger in the singles. Therefore Hennessey and Chapin should easily defeat the Australians, according to gallery logic, but singles and doubles are two different games. The Australians know- more doubles play than our boys ever had heard of It is a strange tennis fact that for years the mid-west has not produced a doubles team of real greatness It is equally strange that the Australians, no matter how mediocre their singles play may be. can always be counted upon to put a mighty dangerous doubles combination in the held. Many predictions were made throughout the tournament that within a few years Leo Kurzrock. who won the junior tournament. wiil be a really great player. The Butler star has shown more improvement in the past year than any other Indianapolis player and still has plenty of development left in his system. Brian I. C. Norton, how of St. Louis, former South African Davis Cup star, easily was the favorite of the tournament. A great player, a natural comedian, bubbling over with life and pep. he won the galleries the minute he walked on the courts. He kept the spectators In a gale of laughter during liis exhibition set with Patterson. Sunday.

Expert Tennis Talks By Mercer Beasley -

S'" TiMETIMES it pays to lose to win. This may sound misleading, but as a strategical policy It Is not without merit. Here is where It applies. Suppose you are facing an opponent who has started out in whirlwind fashion, and is playing all over the court and playing well. It begins to appear as if you may be overwhelmed. You may not admit he can beat you but you must concede he is playing better tennis. Still this man must have a weakness. All you have seen so far Is his strength. The “flash player” is not at all uncommon tennis. By that I mean the player who warms up like a national champion and perhaps continues to play like one through the first set. But as the match lengthens out his true form is asserted, and he begins to play with greater care and caution.

It is here that your “losing to win” policy brings worth-while returns, providing you haven’t already lost heart as a result of your opponent’s early power. By now you probably have learned your opponent's weakness and can play to it. But you would not have detected these flaws If you had tried to match every dazzling shot he made in the early stages of the match. You would have spent so much of your time and energy in trying to match his “flash form” that you would have lost any traces of weakness which he might have disclosed. Study the scores In the big tournaments and you will see that some of the big' stars are frequently beaten in the first set. In most cases you can put it down that they were “losing to win.’’

BUSHMEN ANNEX THREE GAMES OVER WEEK-END Ownie's Boys Go Into Tie for League Lead —Niles Performs in Brilliant Manner Burwell Repeats, Ownie Bush’s Indians created some disturbance over the week-end. Fact of the matter, the Tribesmen surprised the baseball world by taking the Colonels for three in a row at Louisville and thereby going into a tie for the league lead.

Amateur Tips

SAYS DAVE BANCROFT. Manager, Boston Braves. GREAT many infielders have a weakness on handling reU lays from the outfield. I have always been a “bug” on that subject, feeling that this feature of play has great possibilities. Keeping a close tab on the runners and doping out the situation in advance, often makes it possible for an infielder to pull a smart play in the handling of a relay from the outfield that would otherwise be wasted. If the opposition has a tendency to run wild on the bases, such players can be trapped. In the 1922 world series with the Yankees on several occasions I was fortunate in getting the break on relays and stopping a Yankee rally by playing the ball to the last expected point. Always keep your head up. TILDEN AT ST. LOUIS Net Stars of Western to Play in National Clay Court Meet. By Times Special ST. LOUIS, July 7. —The national clay court tennis tourney entry list was augmented today by the arrival of a number of stars from Indianapolis, w r here they participated in the Western championships.
