Athletes in || Big Workout

Coach Orders. | Runners to Cease Signing ' Autographs.

BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editer BERLIN, July 27.—Dean Cromwell of Southern California, assistant coach of the United States track and field, today placed a ban on the Olympic athletes, particularly Jesse Qwens, signing autographs. For the first time sincé reaching Berlin, Cromwell's charges, the sprinters, had a workout today. In Cromwell's words, “the boys worked out for a change instead of signing their names.” Cromwell emphasized that from now on the sprinters are going to buckle down to their work as the time is short before the start of the games next Sunday. The first event on the Olympic program is the 100meter dash, in which heats will be run at 10:30 a. m. Sunday. Practice German Takeoff After a short warm-up, Owens, Ralph Metcalfe, Frank: : Wycoff, Mack Robinson, Bobby Packard and the other sprinters began practicing starts to the German starting command of, “Auf die plaetze—fertig,” followed by gun's boom. All the sprinters seem to be accustomed. io to the German starting command, and are not likely to be left in their starting

holes. As usual when the American boys appear for practice, athletes from other nations gathered around the s line to gape at the heralded world's greatest stars. Some

Five Con tests in Three Days on Tribe Card

With six victories to their credit

another strong foe tonight when the Kansas City. Blues unpack their bats at Perry Stadium. Five games are scheduled in three days, a tough situation that calls for twilight-moon-light double-headers tomorrow and Wednesday. ‘The Tribesters have hustled hard recently trying to regain ground lost on the disastrgus road trip, and the strain is beginning to collect its toll. Oscar Eckhardt, the tesim’s leading hitter, is out of action and Bluege, Riddle and Flowers are handicapped by different causes. The mound staff faces a problem in the heavy series opening tonight and Manager Killefer breaks out in a sweat when he thinks of it.

Belen Leses Close One

It was an even hreak for the Hoosiers over the week-end. Minneapolis annexed the Saturday night affair under the lights, 4 to 2, as Grabowski of the Millers and Stewart Bolen waged a mound battle. Hits were nine each. In yesterdays first game of the scheduled double hill the Redskins collected 21 hits in the sweltering heat and downed the Bashmen, 12 to 8. Page worked on the Tribe mound for seven innings and then gave way to Legan under the merciless sun. Law Halis Second

The struggle required 2 hours and 34 minutes and as a result the scheduled second conflict was unfinished. The Hoosiers were out in front, 7 to 6, when action was Sf after three innings by the 6 o'clock Sunday law. Rookie Sharp was on the Tribe mound and was opposed by Ryan, who was battered in the opening tilt. Sharp issued six walks and the Millers scored six rums in the second. Indianapolis chalked one marker in the first, two in the second ang four in the third. Bush Uses Six Pitcliers Manager-Bush used everything on hand striving to grab the opener and 16 pastimers appeared in the Millers’ lineup. He called on six pitchers, but a nine-run inning staged by the Indians in the third frame beat him.
