Forgotten By f nitcd Press LOS ANGELES, Aug. I. It took Vice-President Chares Curtis to obtain an Olympic pass for Jim Thorpe, one of the greatest athletes of past games. Learning Thorpe had had to borrow a pass, the VicePresident urged the organizing committee to give him one. Thorpe will receive his season ticket today, Curtis was assured.

Cuban-Shea Go Attracts lit 7 iwt h Syri ial CHICAGO. Aug. I.—The Kid Chocolate-Eddie Shea scrap for the junior lightweight title, scheduled to be held at the Chicago stadium. Thursday night, marking as it does the return of major boxing to Chicago, virtually introduces Chocolate to local fans, despite the fact he has boxed in Chicago before. That was way back in 1929 when he tackled Steve Smith at a small club. His fight Thursday marks his first start here against an opponent of worth and, as a result, the boxing public is showing an unusual amount of interest. The Cuban, Chocolate, is king of the junior lightweights.

Hoosier Youth Turns In Best Time of Sunday’s Qualifying Tests; Three Yankees Gain Places in Each of Today’s Feature Races. BY STUART CAMERON United Pres* Snort* Editor LOS ANGELES, Aug. I.—California will see one of the grandest footraces of all time late today. This will be the final of the Olympic games 100 meter event, and will establish the name of the current world’s fastest human. This competition, whether it is won by one of America's big three, by Percy Williams of Canada, by Japan's head-bandaged Yoshioka, or by one of the seven other surviving contestants, will constitute the one large and abiding thrill of today's sports show. Each of the United States’ stars survived the dangers of the first day’s competition. Big Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette Negro, lasted out the preliminary tests along with Eddie Tolan, also a Negro, and running pride of Detroit, as well as George Simpson, Ohio’s brilliant speedster. Percy Williams, Maple Leaf wearer of the world’s record for the event, as well as Olympic defending champion and Olympic 200-meter titleholder, is one of the four chief threats for the title.

Little Yoshioka of Japan, who won his preliminary heat, and was second in his next test, will be a dangerous contestant. Prom the United States’ viewpoint the games were sent off to a thoroughly successful start, with four of the five new Olympic or world's records made or shared by an American. Hornbostel Nears Record Led by Charles (Chuck) Hornbostel, the Indiana U sophomore sensation, three American runners Sunday qualified for the finals of the 800-meters event today. The lanky Hoosier youngster romped home in front of Alex Wilson, Canadian ace and Notre Dame U. star, and Dr. Otto Peltzer, German champion, in the semi-finals. His time was 1:52.4, the best cf the day and less than a second from the Olympic record. Tom Hampson of Great Britain, and Ed Genung of Washington U. and American champion, were Hornbostel's chief rivals today. Ned Turner of Michigan was the third American to gain a place in the finals, along with Paul Keller of France and Phil Edwards of Canada. America’s reign in the Olympic high jump was broken. George Spitz, United States champion, failed to clear at 6 foot 3 inches and was eliminated. McNaughton of Canada woman extended jump off after tying with three other at 6 feet s*B inches. Van Osdel, United States jumper, was second. Toribio of the Philippines, third, and Cornelius Johnson, Los Angeles Negro, fourth. Babe Didrikson Shines It fell to a feminine contestant, Mildred (Babe) Didrikson of Texas, to put on the leally spectacular show of the first day Sunday. Here's the picture: Olympic stadium, a large concrete thing shaped like a bowl. There's a large greensward down below. A lot of girls come out for the javelin throw. The Olympic brass hats stick out a flag which the announcer tells you is the best a woman ever did in this contest. Then the Babe grabs hold of the javelin and lets loose. Bang! The javelin hikes into the grass at something like ten yards past the neat little flag and you cheer for you know something really real has happened. The girls, including Babe herself, tried all afternooon to do better, but nobody even came close. So they put on the ceremonial that comes after each Olympic championship, and it was Babe for whom the show' was staged. Five Records Fall Sunday’s opening track and field competition brought out four new Olympic records in addition to that ol Miss Didrikson. The Babe's, incidentally, w'as 143 feet 4 inches, shattering the old w'orld record of E. Braumuller of Germany. Miss Didrikson’s mark was the first Olympic record, for the women's javelin has not been an event of the games until this year. The other marks weie those made by the following: Leo Sexton. United State*. .VI ft. C 3-lfi in., in the Khotput. Eddie Tolan, U. S., 10.4, in the 100meter. Tisdall oflretand. and Hardin, of United States, 52.8, in the 400-meter Hurdles. .1. Kusocinski. of Poland, 30:11.4, in the 10.000 meters.

More Than 80,000 Fans Were There

- ■ '■ ' *

The second largest crow'd in baseball history jammed into Cleveland’s new $3,000,000 municipal stadium Sunday to witness the inaugural game in the mammoth bowl. A total of 80.184 spectators saw' the Philadelphia Athletics beat the Cleveland Indians, 1 to 0. There w r ere 76,969 paid admissions. This approached the record crowd of 85,265 which attended the New York Yankees vs. the Athletics in a double-header at Yankee' stadium Sept. 10, 1928.

Line Decision Beats Allison and Gives France Davis Cup Victory

BY WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Aug. I.—A linesman’s decision on a close play prevented a fighting Yankee team from wresting the Davis cup from its French defenders, so the historic tennis trophy will remain in France for the sixth consecutive year. This decision occurred at match point and took victory from Wilmer Allison of Texas in his singles match Sunday with the Basque veteran, Jean Borotra, giving France the necessary three out of five matches to win the series. Borotra was credited with beating Allison 1-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2. 7-5. Had Allison been credited with the match, the United States would have taken the series because Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena scored an upset victory over the French ace, Henri Cochet, in the concluding singles encounter, 4-6, 0-6, 7-5, 8-6. 6-2. The Americans had won the doubles match Saturday, and France had swept the opening two singles contests on Friday. Allison, the red-necked Texan, was leading in the fifth set, 5 to 4. at match point, when Borotra served what appeared to be a double fault. Allison deliberately outed the ball and ran to the net to shake hands with Borotra, thinking he had won the match. But the linesman called the ball good. Allison was dumfounded. So were most of the spectators. Most newspapermen in the press section considered the decision wrong. The same linesman had made three questionable rulings on Allison's service previously. They were obviously so incorrect that Borotra deliberately outed his next ball after one of them. After the match point decision, the bounding Basque resumed his net attack and ran out the match, to the thunderous acclaim of the 12,000 spectators jammed in Roland Garros stadium. "I feel terrible about the whole

Babe’s Bat Steals Show as Yanks Rap Tigers; A’s Win

By l ulled Press NEW YORK. Aug. I.—Babe Ruth, baseball’s old maestro, still is able to steal the show any day the major leagues offer headliners for fandom's attention. I Cleveland opened anew stadium Sunday before one of the iargest | crowds in history—a new firstbaseman made a sensational debut : with Brooklyn, and the down-trod- : den Giants won a double-header. All big-time stuffy j But George Herman Ruth, 38, and ; limping slightly from a recently injured leg. dimmed the luster of these events when his bat converted al- : most certain defeat into a 12 to 6 ! victory for the Yankees over the Detroit Tigers. j The Bambino drove a home run j and two singles in four times at bat, besides walking twice He drove in five runs. He poled out his thirtieth heme run of the season and his fourth in four days. Since his return to the lineup Thursday, after ten days' absence with a pulled muscle in his right leg, he has hit at a clip of .785. He has walked seven times and driven in fourteen runs in the last four games. The score was 8 to 2 in favor of | the Tigers going into the fourth inj ning. Then the Babe went to work and stimulated his team mates to do likewise. This victory enabled ' the Yankees to maintain their firstplace American League lead of eight games over the runner-up Athletics. The Athletics trounced Cleveland, 1 to 0, in Cleveland’s new $3,000,000 ; stadium before 80.184 spectators, the j second largest crowd in baseball hisi tory.

Polish Star Cracks Mark in 10,000 Meters, Beating Finn

BY GEOORGE H. BEALE United ’’ress Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, Aug. I.—For a real old-fashioned love feast you need a couple of long distance runners, one each from Poland and Finland. Janusc Kusocinski, the Pole, and Volmari Iso-Hollo, the Finn, had one in the 10,000-meter race of the 1932 Olympic games, and for downright good will it beat even the battle between the cobra and the mongoose. Solemn and sullen, that pair started out on that more than sixmile run, and while they spent something over thirty minutes together they just couldn't get excited about it. When they finished about ten yards apart—Kusocinski first—they offered a most casual lefthanded handclasp, , smiled those smiles the villain uses when he turns the old folk out of the mortgaged home, and trotted off the field. And how fine and cordial Kusocin-

Giants Snap Long Losing Streak \\ ith Twin Triumph

By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. I.—Bill Terry’s New York Giants halted their losing streak at seven games Sunday when they took both ends of a double-header irom the Cincinnati Reds, 4 to 3 in ten innings, and 6 to 4. New York won the opener when Leslie’s fly drove Ott home with the winning run in the tenth inning. Home runs by English in the fifth and Lindstrom in the seventh played an important part in the second game. The runner-up Chicago Cubs failed to gain on the idle firstjjlace Pirates when they split a twin bill with Brooklyn. Supported by Charley Roofs excellent pitching, the Cubs won the opener. 6 to 3, but dropped the nightcap, 5 to 4, because of Bill Clark’s good relief hurling for the Dodgers. Bud Clancy, newly acquired Brooklyii first baseman from Jersey City, made his debut with a double and two singles in each game. Boston's Braves and the St. Louis Cardinals split- a double-lieader. Paul Derringer blanked the Braves, 7 to 0, in the first game, and big Ed Brandt held the Cards, 7 to 2, in the concluding session. Deringer yielded only six hits in the opener, while Pruett was pounded for fourteen. In the nightcap. Dizzy Dean and Stout allowed the Braves fourteen hits, while Brandt limited the Cards to seven. Dean hit a home run before he was

the decision or the action of the hockey player, Le Febure, who ran onto the court several times with shoes into which Borotra changed. Despite the decision, it must be said for Borotra, the hero of the series, that he fought a brilliant uphill battle, coming back after losing two sets to outplay the fast-tir-ing Allison, who had spent two exhausting days in the doubles Saturday and the opening singles Friday. Like Borotra, Vines appeared hopelessly outclassed in the first two sets. The American champion became more sure of his game in the third set. He won it and the fourth and fifth for the match.

ski and Iso-Hollo were to the twen-ty-four men that started out with them to do the twenty-five laps around the Olympic stadium track. The Pole and the Finn took the gun and then either one or the other had it to the finish. A second runner, Lauri Johapnes Virtanen, tried to join their sociable gathering and they let him trail along for quite a while, only to drop him as if he was one of the even-your-best-friends-w'on’t-tell-you guys. As for the others in the race, they seemed to be social outcasts. And all the w'hile the two w'ere putting on their brotherly love act, Kusocinski was rolling up anew Olympic record.
