California Crew Wins Olympic Championship

American Eight Finishes Three-Quarters of Length in Front. KEN MYERS DEFEATED Australian Single Sculler Wins Title. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Staff Correspondent SLOTEN. Holland. Aug. 10.— America, represented by the University of California, today won the eight-oared shell race, classic of Olympic rowing, from Great Britain’s Thames Rowing Club. California won by three-quarters of a length in 5 minutes 3.2 seconds. In the California shell were: Bow, Marvin Stalder; No. 2, John Brinck; No. 3, Francis Frederick; No. 4, William Thompson; No. 5, William Daily; No. 6, James Workman; No. 7, Hubert Caldwell; stroke, Peter Donlini coxswain, Don Blessing. Both crews started rowing forty to the minute. The British eight led by two yards at the 250-meters mark. Californa overtook them and left them at the 500 meters, never to be caught. Once the Californians gained the lead, they settled down to thirty-six strokes to the minute. After the race the jubilant American eight, apparently strong, drew their shell into the canal. The British were badly winded, especially Killick, the No. 3, who collapsed in the boat. The United States was victorious also in the double sculls, where Charles Mcllvane and Paul Costello of the Penn A. C. defeated Joe Wright and Jack Guest of Canada, but suffered defeat in the single sculls. There Bobby Pearce of Australia, said by many to be the greatest oarsmen ever produced, defeated Kenneth Meyers, Philadelphia fireman. nl the four-oared shells without coxswain, the United States crew from the Penn Barge Club lost to the first Trinity four of Cambridge University, Great Britain. Thus America and the British Empire broke even in four of the day’s finals in which they were the contestants. • i • Olympic Rowing Champs SLOTEN, Holland, Aug. 10. Olympic rowing champions in the finals today were: Eight-oared shells—TJ. S. (TJ. of California. Single sculls—Bobby Pearce, Australia. Pair-oared shells without coxswain— Germany. Pair-oared shells with coxswain—Switzerland. Four-oared shells without coxswain— Great Britain. Four -oared shells with coxswain—ltaly. Double sculls—U. S. (Penn. A. C.). Big League Stuff A1 Simmons, Philadelphia Athletics’ outfielder, hit a home run with the bases filled in the sixth inning, broke Braxton’s spell over the Mackmen enabled the Athletics to beat the Washington Senators, 8 to 3. Braxton held the A’s scoreless until Simmons delivered his clout. Ehmke allowed only three hits. Fred Heimach, just up from St. Paul, pitched the New York Yankees to a 7 to 1 over the Boston Red Sox. Heimach held the Red Sox to four hits and fanned eight men. After holding the Yanks scoreless for five innings, Ed Morris collapsed in the seventh and New York made seven runs in that frame. The Pittsburgh Pirates won their eighth straight game by beating the St. Louis Cardinals, 5 to 4, reducing the Cards’ lead over the New York Giants to four games. The victory hoisted the Pirates close to the first division and within nine games of the top. Jess Haines was pounded out of the box by the Pirates who scored all their runs off him in the first four innings. CONSIDER NEW BALL U. S. G. A. May Make Links’ Game Harder With Big Pellet. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Proposals for a larger and lighter golf ball were to be discussed at the meeting of the United States Golf Association here today. If adopted the plan will tend to make the game more difficult, its backers say. The new ball will not have the distance nor the ease of control that the present one has, it is contended. A number of well known golfers are said to favor the new ball. DALLAS HAS NEW BOSS Bob Tarleton Now Active Manager of Texas Club.
