Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

JEW YORK, Aug. 3.—lt appears *r> that the Americans scored a moral victory in the Davis cup finals with France. A concededly Incorrect decision favoring Jean Borotra during the match with young Wilmer Allison proved the turning point. Had the decision gone the other way the cup would have come back to these shores. The Incident is hardly important pnough to call out the troops. Be- ' sides the troops are too busy win"ning glorious battles over women and children and their penniless men folk. It goes to show that no one country enjoy* a monopoly on official astigmatism. In a wav. the tennis decisln helps to balance the scales of sporting Justice In international competition. An Incorrect decision took the heavyweight championship away from Germany several weeks ago. Possibly It would be wise to keep a double entry check on the champions of the year—one showing the actual winners and another showing the officials’ choices. In that way it would be possible to satisfy everybody, and eliminate unpleasant aftermaths. It appears, too, that Borotra experienced an excessive amount of trouble with his dogs, or puppies, during the match with Allison. Three times a gentleman rushed from the sidelines with reinforcements in the form of new shoes for the Borotra dogs and Just as often the veteran star of the French team stopped to make changes. That it was the humane thing to do there can be no question. Nothing so stirs the soul or chills the marrow like the low anguished cries of aching dogs on a hot July afternoon. It It tt WHILE Borotra's solicitude for his dogs will command the praise of all right thinking people, the reaction it had on his oppon- . ent’s game was such as to provoke a spirited discussion of ethics. The continuity of Allison s game was affected by the frequent delays, the smooth, flowing quality of his stroking was interrupted. Is it not possible that the result would have been different, even taking into account the incorrect decision. If Borotra's dogs had been less sensitive? It Is a delicate problem in sportsmanship—quite as delicate as Borotra's dogs seem to be, and it is unwise to form hasty conclusions. At one stage, the rebellion of Borotra's dogs became so acute that the situation threatened to get completely out of hand. The big toe of his left foot broke through his shoe, gasping and groaning. Only the alertness of court attendants averted a pathetic scene. This Incident is presented in detail by. way of illustrating the stark wretchedness of the situation and to absolve Borotra of • any suspicion of low trickery. After all when a man’s dogs hurt they hurt-. tt r tt STILL it was a bad break for Allison. Replacing Frank Shields as a singles player at the last minute, the red-necked Texan acquitted himself with high glory. So did the squad as a whole, in fact. They didn’t win, but they came close enough to convince everybody that they are headed in the right direction. Another year from now they will be much more formidable and conversely the fading French defenders will be correspondingly weaker. The important difference between the two countries in tennis at the present . typing Is that America has got young stars who are coming along and France hasn’t. Ellsworth Vines Is probably the best tennis player in the world today. He lost the match he was expected to win against France and then turned around and beat Cochet—the man they said he couldn’t beat. The chances are Vines would have won both of his matches if the Importance of the assignment hadn't unnerved him at the start. That’s always a handicap In a young squad. It operates with equal destruction In all sports. In the pre-Olympic form charts, the two men most favored to win certain points for America were Venzke the miler and Spitz the high Jumper, both youngsters. Venzke had run an indoor mile faster than it had ever been run before. • Spitz had jumped higher than any Jumper In history. Venzke didn't even qualify for the ' team, and Spitz was shut out In the Olympic heats, failing to clear the bar at a height four Inches lower than his record performance. The explanation is simple. The scene overawed them, they tightened up. pressed and lost the naturalness which had made them sensations in the minor - shows.

Shoo, Jinx! By United Pres* CHICAGO, Aug. 3—Chicago's White Sox discarded their traditional white stockings Tuesday and donned new hosiery with a three-inch red band around a white background. It was the first time since 1917 the Chicago team had worn anything but white hose. President J.

British School Teacher Shatters 800-Meter Mark in Thrilling Race

BY NORMAN B. DEUEL United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3.—Sports history which* will send shivers chasing up and down the spines of thousands as they remember the Olympic games of 1932 was written Tuesday. There was recorded probably the greatest 800-meter race of all time. There was inscribed a word picture of a stocky, tousled-haired girl who hurled the discus 133 feet 2 inches. There was written the story of a clean-limbed Polish lass who ran the 100 meters in 11.9 seconds. A bespectacled school teacher from Hertfordshire, England, emblazoned in the archives of these modern Olympics and almost unbelievable world record of 1 minute 49 8-10 seconds for the 800 meters.

♦ Gossip Os The Indians ♦

BY EDDIE ASH AMERICAN ASSOCIATION territory was filled with upsets Tuesday. Right here at home the clouds upset on the Indians and Philadelphia Athletics and washed out their exhibition game after three and one-half innings; at Columbus the tail-end St. Paul Saints upset the Red Birds in ten innings, 6 to 5, and at Toledo the sixth-place Mud Hens upset the league-leading Millers, 8 to 5. Moreover, the clouds also upset the Milwaukee-Louisville night tilt and knocked it kicking. The afternoon game at Louisville was played and Dudley Branom upset the Brewers by walloping a home run with the bases jammed. tt tt tt Eddie Twilling’* Kansas City Blues open a series with the Tribesmen at Perry stadium this afternoon at 3 o’clock and a glance at the standing indicates the Cowboys have become aggressive again and are trailing the second-place Hoosiers bv only two and one-half games. The Tribesmen regained the runner-up berth when the Apostles downed the Birds at Columbus Tuesday, while the Indians were idle. The outcome of the Columbus tilt broke a second-place tie. 0 0 • The Blues are scheduled in Indianapolis for three games, consisting of the daylight fracas todav. and night contests Thursday and Fridav. A noteworthy performer with the Blues is Hal Smith, slender righthanded pitcher, who is destined to graduate to the majors. Fact of the matter it is said the Cowboys could get a fat price for him now. The big league scouts have camped on the trail of the Blues persistently and it is evident they have concluded the young hurler is the real article. Latest rumors say the Pittsburgh Pirates have the •'inside" in the negotiations. Blues and Corsairs always have been on more or less friendly terms. .0 tt tt THE Columbus Red Birds have grabbed off another Class A A outfielder in George Selkirk, lefthanded hitter. He was a sensation with the New York Yankees during spring training. The Birds are out after the A. A. pennant regardless of cost, it is said. Selkirk is a big iellow, standing 601 and weighing about 185. He throws right-handed. The Birds obtained him out of the International League, through the Yankees. 000 The rumor factory ha-s turned out the tip that the Toledo Hens are in danger of becoming orphans again. It is reported the Cleveland Indians will toss up their financial support in the Maumee city on Aug. 25. If Cleveland throws in the towel the league will fare she task of "carrying” the Hen franchise and player pay roll. If the Hens knock over the Millers a few more times Cleveland bones may change their minds. 000 CONNIE MACK brought his entire champion squad to Indianapolis Tuesday and such famous players as Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw "shagged” in the outfield at Perry stadium during the big leaguers batting practice. Jimmy Fcxx. home run leader in the majors, demonstrated his marvelous strength by poling the sphere high and far over the left-field wall.

Chuck Drives in Four Runs as Shotton Club Sweeps Pirate Series and Climbs Within Game and OneHalf of Chicago. By Times Special *■ , PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 3.—'With a record of five straight triumphs, four of them at the expense of the pace-setting Pirates, Burt Shottons Philadelphia Phillies hoped today to come within less than two percentage points of capturing second place in the National League race from the Chicago Cubs. Trailing the Bruins in third place by slightly more than one game, the Phils planned to send Fidgety Phil Collins to the mound today to give them their sixth consecutive triymph. Big Pat Malone, erstwhile bad boy, was slated so do the Chicago hurling. For the eleventh time in fifteen starts this season, the Phils showed their disrespect for the Pirates sty taking an 11-to-6 triumph Tuesday,

sweeping the series. Despite this defeat, the Pirates maintained their first-place lead of five games over the runner-up Chicago Cubs, who dropped a 4-to-2 decision to Brooklyn. Chuck Klein led the Phillies’ attack with his thirty-first home run of the season and a brace of singles, accounting for four tallies. Six other home runs were made during the game by Mallon. Heathcote and Lee of the Phillies and two by Comorosky and one by Paul Waner of the Pirates. Shottons men pounded French and Harris for fourteen hits, while J. Elliott, Rhem and Hansen yielded twelve to the Pirates. A two-base hit by pinch-hitter Johnny Frederick in the eighth inning scored Hack Wilson and Tony Cuccinello with the runs which gave Brooklyn its victory over the Cubs. Bud Clancy, Brooklyn's new first baseman, continued his heavy hitting with a triple and two singles. Lonnie Warneke on the Cubs’ mound was charged with his filth defeat of the season and second of the series. Boston Braves nosed out the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 to 3. The Cards tallied all of their runs in the eighth inning. Lindsey. Stout and Dean were found for eleven hits by the Braves, while Seibold and Cantwell limited the Cards to six. Bill Terry's New York Giants beat, the Cincinnati Reds. 3 to 2. although thi

His feat sent the Union Jack fluttering to the top of the victory pole for the sixth time in Olympic history for this event. Tjae record cut two full seconds from the previous Olympic mark and lowered the official world record of 1:50.6 seconds set in 1928 by Sera Martin of France. Hampson barely nosed out Alex Wilson of Notre Dame, competing for Canada, Phil Edwards of New York university, also running under the Canadian Maple Leaf, was third; Eddie Genung, United States, fourth; Ned Turner, fifth, and Charles Hornbostel, Indiana, sixth.

Jimmy nearly handcuffed Harry Rosenberg with a line drive during the game and before the thunderstorm ended action. He fanned the •first time, on a high pitch, being eager to treat the fans to a wallop over the wall. 000 Manager Mack started his regular iinsup with the exception of McNair at short and Cochrane back of the plate. Regulars used were Bishop, Haas. Simmons. Foxx, Miller. Dykes and Rommel, pitcher. Rommel, a veteran, is on the roster as a relief hurler and formerly was an ace on the Mackian staff. The Athletics combed Rex McDonald, Tribe rookie, for five hits and tw>o runs in the first inning and for five hits and three runs in the third stanza. The Indians scored three in the second. Rain chased the pastimers off the diamond as Philadelphia finished batting in the fourth round. 000 Twenty-five hundred fans turned out for the exhibition despite threatening weather and their ticket money was returned. Connie Mack was pleased with the reception, though regretting the financial loss. Connie and several -of .his star athletes were kept busy autographing scorecards before the game. 000 One Punch Bill Dickey, hard-hitting catcher, returns to the New York Yankee eligible list Thursday. This move sends Eddie Phillips, back to Newark. Phillips is a former K. C. backstop. Dickey is finishing a thirty-day stretch for clouting Carl Reynolds on the jaw. 000 Clarence Rowland, a man of many moves in baseball, is on the move again. He plans to transfer the Reading International League club to Albany. N. Y. Attendance has been poor at Reading. Rowland has been a boxer, big league pilot, minor league pilot, umpire, and minor league club president. He formerly managed the Columbus A. A. team. 3 MAT EVENTS SIGNED Light Heavies in Double Windup on Friday Bill. An opponent for Henry A. Clausen. Danish middleweight, was sought today to complete the wrestling card for Friday at the south side arena. A double windup, with Red Lyons, Texas light heavyweight star, battling veteran Soldier Elmer Guthrie, and Stanley West, sturdy Texan, taking on Johnny Carlin, tops the bill.

Reds outhit them, 11 to 7. Waite Hoyt, veteran hurler, received credit for the victory, although Gibson relieved him in the final inning. Chick Hafe.y of the Reds, who has been convalescing from an attack of influenza, returned to the game as a pinch hitter for Ben Frey in the eighth inning. In the American League, Lefty Bill Chamberlain was given poor support in his major league debut with the Chicago White Sox, and Washington's Senators won. 4 to I. The young rookie allowed only four hits m the eight innings he pitched, but his six bases on halls coupled with three errors enabled the Nats to win. Red Faber pitched the ninth inning allowing one hit. Alvin Crowder gave six hits to the Chisox. St. Louis Browns downed the tail-end Boston Red Sox, 6 to 4. The Brown* got off to a good lead with four runs in the second inning. The Red Sox tallied three runs in the ninth. Weiland.

way mark, Edwards maintained a ten-yard lead, but Hampson was drawing up. Wilson made a bid and passed Edwards as they came out of the curve into the back stretch. Genung was sprinting in a mighty effort, but Hampson eased by him. He passed Edwards and drew even with Wilson at the curve. Hampson's long, powerful legs, forced onward by bulldog British determination, drew ahead of Wil son. They crossed the line only a foot or so apart. Head thrown back, spectacles on the high bridge of his nose, a glimpse of white teeth showing, the star of Great Britain broke the tape, loped over to the grass and flopped on his face.’ Two attendants picked him up and walked him around until he revived. It was the highlight of a day of broken records. The tousled-haired girl in feminine track suit with the numeral 169 was Lillian Copeland of Pasadena. In her last throw of the competition, and the last throw of her athletic career, she overcame the lead of Ruth Osburn of Shelbyville, Mo., to set anew women's discus record of 133 feet 2 inches. The former record was 129 feet 11 9-76 inches, made at Amsterdam by Halinaa Konopacka of Poland. Miss Copeland threw straight, an individual style, discarding the pivot. She will abandon athletics to study law. Miss Osborn only a few minutes before had established a world record of 131 feet 8 inches with her first throw, only to see it shattered by Miss Copeland's last. Stella Walsh was the Polish lass. Unable to finish better than sixth in the discus throw, she walked from the discus ring to the chute, dug some foot holes in the sixth lane and with no more than three minutes to rest tied her own world's record set Tuesday. She flashed down the 100-meter track in undeviating pace to finish for the third time in 11.9 seconds. Hilda Strike, a little Canadian girl, finished second and Wilhelmina von Bremen, a. tall blond from San Francisco, won third place for the United States. Ed Gordon, former Gary tlnd.) high school sports star, captured the broad jump title for the United States. The lanky Negro, who attended lowa U., leaped 25 feet. % inches. Lambert Redd of the United States team was second.

Slugging Dan Passes at 74 By Times Special EAST ORANGE, N. J„ Aug. 3. Dan Brouthers, one of the greatest batsmen in baseball history, died here Tuesday. He was 74. Brouthers was the Babe Ruth of early baseball and played sixteen years as a big leaguer and never hit below .300, his best season, 1887, showing him with a mark of .419. He passed out of the game as a player in 1897. Only Ruth has hit a ball farther than Brouthers, it is said. He led the National League in batting four times.

By Untied Press NEW YORK. Aug. 3.—Firew'orks may be expected immediately in the National League, now that directors of the Chicago Cubs have unleashed anew manager, Charley Grimm, with orders to boot his

outfit into a hitting streak. If first baseman - manager Grimm carries out these orders effe ctiv e 1 y, a three - cornered, rough-and - tumble fight should ensue among the slumping Pittsburgh Pirates, the bellicose Phillies, and the desperate Cubs. Grimm indicated that the

Pirates would change the wording of the old ditty, "Clap Hands, Here Comes Charley,” to "Look Out, Here Comes Charley.” Grimm said he wasn't optimistic about the Pirate’s slump. "It's only temporary. They're worn out from double-headers. I expect them to give us a tough fight. But mark my words. We’ll catch them. And the Phillies—yes, I expect they'll give us plenty of trouble, too.”

Braves’ Pilot Fires Sliires; Minors Again

By Times Special BOSTON. Mass.. Aug. 3.—Art Shires of the Boston Braves, who talked himself out of the majors while pastiming with Chicago's White Sox two years ago, and then batted his way back into the big time with Milwaukee last year, apparently is on his way back to the minors. He was the sensation of the American Association in 1931, with a .385 batting average. The colorful first baseman was "fired” Tuesday by Bill McKechnie. Braves' manager when "Whattaman” voiced strenuous protests to the plan of the Braves of trading him for a minor league player. Shires has been handicaped by injuries most of the season. He was forced to the bench and failed to reach major league standards when he returned to action. He was benched again last Sunday in favor of Randy Moore. Meanwhile, Emil Fuchs, Braves’ owner, is scouting for anew first sacker. U. S. THINLIES IN LEAD Yankee Men and Women Top Rivals in Olympic Points. By United Press LOS ANGELES.

JATJG. 3, 1932

From the American viewpoint there is the satisfaction of knowing that the big three of the United States came through the first tests of the 200 in more than creditable style. Eddie Tolon of Detroit and Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette, both Negroes, won their second trial heats in record figures, while George Simpson of Ohio was second to Lurl of Argentina in another recordbreaking finish. Luti Is Contender Luti is highly dangerous, as is Jonath of Germany, who equaled Luti's new record time of 21.4 in winning the fourth heat of the second trials after Metcalfe had set a mark of 21.5, equaled by Tolan shortly after. Tuesday': big hero was Tom Hampson of Great Britain, new Olympic 800-meter champion. British sports experts had warnedthat Hampson would be a dangerous foeman and it really was a great race that he won. He had to fight from back in fourth or fifth position in sprinting on the last half lap to nose out Alex Wilson of Canada, leaving Phil Edwards, also of Canada, and the early pace setter, with third honors. Hampson was caught in new record time of 1:49.8. Wilson is a former Notre Dame university student. It was George Saling of lowa, who finally held the 110-meter hurdles record. He made the distance in 14.4 after Jack Keller of Ohio State, had won his heat in 14.5 for a temporary hold on the record. Long Walk Today Lillian Copeland of California, set anew women's discus mark of 133 feet 2 inches. This was a world and Olympic record. Stella Walsh, of Poland, once again put on an 11.9 performance in the 100 meter. She made this record time twice in the first tests and equaled it on Tuesday. The Olympic track and field games reached the dizzy stage today. They were to begin with the 50.000 meter walk. The heel and toe boys will begin their battle at 2:30, and will conclude somewhere around 6:30. Fifty thousand meters, incidentally, is quite a lot more than 50.000 yards, and there are 1.760 yards to a mile. The long walk, fortunately or not, will be held on another field than the one contained in Olympic stadium. The pole vault, discus, 110-meter hurdles, 1,500-meter trials, women's 80-meter hurdles also were listed today.
