Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

YORK, Aug. s.—Rogers Hornsby has been released as manager of the Cuba. It seems to have been the fate of Hornsby to plav a dark, sinister role on the big league stage, a cross between Ibsen and Conan Doyle. For years his steps have been dogged by mystery and mutiny. He has been the manager nobody knows. There is something about his presence that transforms peaceful, rolling hills into roaring volcanoes—a mysterious something that always leaves in Its wake an undertone of the inscrutable. He brought flt. Louis its first pennant In rnore than thirty years and was fired. He joined the Giants, long interested In his acquisition, lasted one season and was summarily dlsmls.-ed Prom the Giants he went to Boston and replaced his manager In mid-season. Moving on to Chicago he had a similar experience a hired hand at the start, he ultimately took over the club. No ott\er man in baseball has ever had such a turbulent career No other man has ever been the pivotal figure in so many unexplained revolts. No other man has ever been such a consistent success and at the same time such an ephemeral institution. Here is a man to whom everybody concedes the elements of greatness in his field. He was a great hitter and by all the standards he had established himself as a gi>at manager And yet the man can not. hold a job Eagerly club owners reach for him, enthusiastically they drop him. What is the answer? In baseball, the breath of scandal has never touched him. Asa player and manager, his record has been honorable It can’t be that he has always been the victim of whims and prejudices. The mounting list of his dismissals argues against, that. There must be a flaw in his technique somewhere, a very vital flaw. bub “'T'HE trouble with Hornsby,” a A club ow’ner told me today. "Is that he refuses to admit that the man who pays him his salary is entitled to any voice in the conduct of the business he controls. I think Hornsby would be an enduring success if he had his own club. Then he could dominate both the diamond and the front office.” This seems to be the real indictment against the man. Ini not sure that it is a serious one. There are some club owners who probably would make greater progress If they turned over all their Interests to the manager —or the bat boy. Still, I ran appreciate the point. Even a club owner is deserving of some consideration. Hornsby is a baseball fanatic. Nothing else Interests him. His conception of the business begins and ends on the field. His credo is, ’ take care of your affairs and I will take care of mine." He is Imratient of advice, intolerant of suggesions. a lone wolf in thought and action. With it all Hornsby has always been big enough to stand or fall bv his own decisions. Nobody ever heard him make an alibi. His Intense passion for the game developed in him a sense of infallibility. He was so close to the mechanics of the game that lie felt every move he made was instinctively right. It was probably this more than anything else that, provoked his sudden dismissal from the Cubs, since'it develops that Hornsby and the club president were at odds oyer the relative abilities of some of the players who were in the lineup and some who were not. It is eSsy to picture the outspoken Hornsby saying. ’ I’m running this team. Stay out of it."

Johnny struck out six, walked one and had one wild pitch, but his skill was such that only twentyeight men faced him, the sixth being the only inning in which four visitors were officially at bat. It was a marvelous performance r.nd saw Cooney in the best shape of the race. The lone run scored by the Kaws was chalked in the sixth when Collins tripled off the left field wall after one down and crossed the plate as Goldman tossed out Carson. Three Blues Reach Base In the initial session Kelly singled after two were gone, advanced on a wild pitch and was erased off second, Cooney to Goldman, when he took too much of a lead with the count three and two on Pick. In the fifth Grigsby walked after one down and was knocked off in a double play, Cooney to Wingard, when the Tribe hurler ipade a dandy catch of Boken’s liner. Kelly, Grigsby and Collins were the only visitors to reach base. Not a single K. C. runner was left on base during the pastiming, an unusual record in any league. The Indians started blasting early and crashed the sphere for two runs in the second and another pair in the third, against Lou Fette. In the fourth the men of McCann made a night of it by hammering the ball for a cluster of four markers and it was in this inning that Fette was sent to the showers. Max Thomas, southpaw, relieving. Wingard Leads Attack There was no further scoring. Tising and Fowler were other flingers employed by kansas City in the late innings, Thomas dropping out for a pinch hitter and Tising retiring on account of an injured finger. The Tribe hit total was sixteen and Ernie Wingard led the attack with two doubles and a single. Jack Kroner, third sacker, figured in two Indian rallies, once on a walk and in the other outburst he crashed a triple againsf; the left field wall, driving in Goldman and Fitzgerald and following his mates home when the- throwin went wide of third. The fielding of Marquardt and Pick featured for the Blues, the former accepting nine chances and the latter contributing running catches. The Indians played errorless ball.

Metcalfe Was Victim of Error, Paddock Claims Negro Ace Accidentally Handicapped Four Feet in 200 Meters BY GEORGE H. BEALE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. s—Ralph Metcalfe, the sturdy Negro from Marquette, anpears to be champion Olympique in the hard *luck line. He lost the 100-meter dash of the 1932 Olympic games by a debatable decision, and it now seems he had to run four feet more than his competitors in the 200-meter race, in which he finished third. Charlie Paddock, now a sDorts writer, but once known as the •‘world's fastest human,” was the authority for the statement that the Negro speedster was handicapped four feet. Paddock said he noticed when the 200 started that Metcalfe appeared to be behind the point where the staggering of runners ordinarily would have put him. After the race, Paddock claimed he went to Metcalfe’s starting line and found it to be four feet back of where it should have been. Metcalfe, himself, supported Paddock's idea, although he refused to sponsor a protest on the ground it would be poor sportsmanship.

The 15,000 fans were relieved to see McLarnin still on his feet when the ten rounds of savage fighting were over and the stocky southpaw from Massachusetts had won by a decision and not by the count.

Unknown Italian Races to New Record in 1,500-Meter Thriller

BY STUART CAMERON United Press Snorts Editor LOS ANGELES, Aug. s.—Three new records, none of them made by an American, had been established today as the sixth program in the track and field events of the Olympic games got under way. For the first time since the games were started on Sunday, the United States failed to capture a men's Olympic track championship. Only in the women’s division was there an American for whom the “ceremonie Olympique Photocolaire” was performed. This winner, not surprisingly, was Mildred (Babe) Didrikson of Dallas, Tex., one of the greatest women track stars in history. Babe won her second title in the world and Olympic record time Cliff Sutter Tests Mangin By Times Special SOUTHAMPTON. N. Y.. Aug. 5. Two old rivals. Clifford Sutter and Gregory Mangin, battled today in the semi-finals of the forty-second annual Meadow Club invitation tennis tournament. They met in the same round a year ago, Sutter winning.

Sutter rapped Lefty Bryan and Mangin turned back Fritz Mercur oh Thursday, while Wood won a hard match from Bryan Grant and Jones upset Berkeley Bell.

/DOMING from behind at a furious pace in the last 40 yards of the race, Great Britain's 24-year-old school teacher, Tom Hampson, above, won the Olympic 800-meter championship and shattered the world and Olympic records for the distance at Los Angeles. Hampson barely nosed out Alex Wilson of Canada, in the breath-taking time of 1.49.8. a full two seconds under the previous Olympic record established by Douglas G. A. Lowe, another Englishman. in 1928. He also shaded the world record of 1:50.6, set by Sera Martin of France.

Miss Didrikson won her second title by a scant margin. She barely beat Evelyne Hall of Chicago in the scramble to the finish tape. The men’s records came in these events: Jevelin Throw—Won by Matti Jarvinen of Finland, with anew Olympic record of 338 feet, 7 inches. Hop, Step and Jump—Won by Chuhei Nambu of Japan, with anew world and Olympic record of 51 feet 7 inches The 1.500-Meter Run—Won by Luigi Beccali of Italy in Olympic record time of 3:51.2. One of the prettiest and most inspiring sights of the games came when the ceremony signaling the outcome of the javelin was held. White and blue-crossed flags of Finland were hoisted up the three honor masts, and the solemn-soundhVf Finnish national anthem was played. The hop, step and jump was held on the north side of the field, far away from the large southern side stands, and thus was little seen. Japanese in the crowd, however, watched Nambu’s every step, and joined in the general applause that went to the winner. Beccali recorded the greatest surprise of the games thus far by winning the 1,500-meter over the rnofl favored Finns and the more heavy publicized Americans, Pen Holioweil and Cunningham. The little Italian put on a thrilling race for the 40,000 fans. He was back with the pack when the first lap was completed. He was in sixth

| “TT'S all over now," the tall, slim Negro said. ‘lt wouldn’t do any good to protest and I wouldn't protest it anyway because United States took first, second and third, and the result would be the same so far as the point scoi*e of the team is concerned. "When I got down on my starting line I felt that I wasn't far enough ahead of Tolan, but I thought that they'd have things right in the Olympics, so I didn't do anything about it.” Eddie Tolan, another Negro lad, ran in the first lane and won the j race, with George Simpson of Ohio state second. Under the staggering j system—necessary because the race is run around a curve—Tolan in Lane 1 was behind Metcalfe, who ran in No. 2 lane. Paddock said the error in Metcalfe's starting place was due to a field attendant having mistaken a mark for a hurdle position for the i 200-meter starting mark.

Grimm's Bat Checks Phils Winning Streak New Cub Pilot Gets Three Hits, Drives in Three Runs and Malone Halts Philly Sluggers; Dodgers 'Rap Pirates Twice. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. s.—Karl Johann Grimm, the 33-year-old first I baseman the Chicago Cubs were trying to sell, trade or give away last i winter, has made a brillaint debut as player-manager of that same j Windy City outfit.

Karl, or "Charley,” who used to work in a brewery, put a kick in the Cubs overnight. “Get those boys to hitting,” William Veeck, club president, ordered the other night when he appointed Charley manager to succeed Rogers Hornsby. So the old braumeister stirred the boys up a bit. Thursday they rattled out fourteen hits against the Phillies, crushing them, 12 to 1. Pat Malone held the Philly sluggers to eight hits. Herr Grimm proved that his managerial responsibilities had not dulled his playing ability by driving in three runs with two doubles and a single. The victory boosted the Cubs’ second-place National League lead over the Phillies to two games, and ended Philadelphia's winning streak at five. It left' the Cubs just three and one-half games behind the leading Pittsburgh Pirates, who dropped two games

to the fast-stepping Dodgers, 7 to 4, in the opener, and 6 to 5 in the ten-inning nightcap. O'Doul helped the Dodgers extend the Pirates’ losing streak to six straight with three home runs and grand stand field work. His four-

bagger in the opener accounted for the first victory, his second tied the score in the eighth inning of the second game, while his third broke up the nightcap in the tenth. He also got a triple. More than 22,000 fans cheered the Flatbush flock to victory. Lefty Clark outpitched Steve Swetonic in the lid lifter. Wally Berger drove in a mate with a home run in the third inning to give the Braves a 3-to-2 victory over Cincinnati. Huck Betts outpitched Si Johnson for his eleventh victory. A three-run rally in the eighth inning enabled the Giants to trounce the Cardinals, 4 to 1, behind Carl Hubbell’s good pitching. CARNERA, POREDA SIGN NEWARK, N.

place when there was but half a lap to go. Then he started. He increased his speed with every stride until he crossed the finish line three or four strides ahead of John Cornes of Great Britain. Phil Edwards, former New York university star, and who now represents Canada, was third. Beccali’s time was 3:51.2. This took the Olympic record away from H. E. Larva of Finland, who was winner in 1928, with a mark of 3:53.2. Today’s real thrill was to come in the 400-meter final, expected to develop into a third duel between Ben Eastman of Stanford, and Billy Carr of Pennsylvania.
