BY KENNETH I). FRY United I’ren* St-.ff Corroponilrnt CHICAGO, May 18—The two favored teams in the annual western conference outdoor track and field championships at Northwestern Saturday—Michigan and Indiana — will have to share field event points with other aspiring titular threats. Although these two schools appear to be neck and neck in most of the running events, stalwart athletes of other schools will cut heavily into their field event scoring. Illinois again show's up with a pair of sterling pole vaulters, Lenington and Seeley. Lovshin of Wisconsin and Divich of Indiana will display point winning performances. Michigan will cut heavily into the high jump and broad jump figures.

B/l l nttnl Press NEW YORK. May 18— Brooklyn is back in third place in the National League standing, the same position where it finished last season, and the Dodgers appear ready to enter the pennant fight full blast. Max Carey’s outfit showed a noticeable improvement recently, winning five of its last six games, not counting its tie with Cincinnati. Before this spurt it seemed out of stride, woefully weak in hitting and its field play was the worst In the league. The pitching was fair. The Dodgers’ fighting spirit was demonstrated Wednesday when they staged their third straight winning ninth-inning rally, making it two in a row over St. Louis, 5 to 2. Two singles, a sacrifice and two triples scored three runs in the ninth inning. This enabled Brooklyn to rise

The javelin is practically awarded to Purvis, Purdue sophomore. He has been tossing the spear over 206 feet, near the record. Kamm and Cook are the shot put stars, representing Illinois. The discus is wide open, with Dillmer of Minnesota topping the list.
