U. S. Loses Early Olympic Pool Margin; Degener Stars on Board.
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor BERLIN, Aug. 11.—Japan’s speedy swimmers, seeking to sweep both the men’s and women’s Olympic team titles, moved steadily ahead today, capturing two of ' three aquatic titles. The lithe little Oriental men, who displaced America as Olympic champions in 1932, smashed into a tie for the team leadership with the United States by capturing the 800-meter relay in world-record breaking time. Earlier, America had forged into. a temporary lead when its men swept the first three places of the springboard diving. The Americans, by finishing second in the relay, ' brought their point total to 25 which left them deadlocked with the Japanese at the end of three events in the men’s division. The Japanese women recorded their first victory of the games when Hideko Mayehata churned to Japan’s first 200-meter breast-stroke title in history. Miss Mayehata covered the course in three minutes, 3.6 seconds, which bettered the old Olympic record of 3:08.3 set in 1932 by Claire Dennis of Australia. That time fell short, however, -of the record she created in winning Saturday’s qualifying heat in 3:01.9. The triumph put. the Japanese women in second place, with 10
| points, behind Holland, which has
17%. None of America’s entrants reached the finals.
Reach Backstroke Finals
American hopes of retaining its women’s title soared today, however, when Edith Mortridge of Los Angeles and Alice Bridges of Uxbridge, Mass., both qualified for the semifinals. tomorrow in the 100-meter backstroke. Among the crowd of 20,000 which saw the competition was. Mrs, Eleanor Holm Jarrett of New York, Olympic champion in 1932, who was dismissed from the American team. A dramatic scene was enacted during the qualifying heats of - the women’s 100-meter backstroke. Dina Wilhelmina Jacoba Senff of Holland traced through the first heat in what was announced as world record-breaking time, When Miss Senff’s time was announced, the announcer-- made a mistake and said: “One sixteenth and two-tenths,” which would have bettered Mrs. Jarrett’s world record. Mrs. Jarrett, who the crowd of 25,000 watched more than the backstroke races, gave her shoul+ ders a shrug as if she didn't believe it. Five minutes later, the announcer corrected the time to 1:16.6, which only bettered Mrs. Jarrett’s Olympic record of 1:183. os Running away with their opponents and taking the 800-meter race for the second consecutive year, the Japanese covered the course in eight minutes, 51.5 seconds which shattered all marks for the distance. That time bettered the Olympic—and officially recognized world mark—which a Japanese team hung up at 8:584 In the 1932 Olympics. It s a mark of 8:52.22 up for acceptance which was made by, a Japanese team in Tokio in 1035. And it was better than the 8:56.1 race the Japanese turned in yesterday in capJusirig their opening qualifying eat.

By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Not one, but two “feuds” punctuated the Nae tional League pennant battle today. While the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs continued the first place struggle begun with fisticuffs yesterday, the Brooklyn Dodgers try

of their inter-borough enemies, the New York Giants. Casey Stengel and his men refuse to forget the slight incurred when Boss Bill Terry of the Giants ine quired one day in 1934, “Is Brooklyn still in the league?” It’s history that the Dodgers knocked the Giants plumb out of first place that gutumn —but the Dodgers keep #dding clarifying Tapiess, 12,000 See Game Cheered by 12,000 home fans at Ebbett’s Field yesterday, they handed the Giants-their first defeat in eight games, 6-5, dropping the New Yorkers to four and one-half games out of first place. To show the friendly reception one team gets « in the other’s ballyard, the Giants have lost all six games they've played in Brooklyn this season. And the Dodgers have been licked the six times they've shown their faces at the Polo Grounds. Individual rather than team une friendliness marked renewal of the Cardinals-Cubs hostilities, which saw the St. Louis bunch win, 7-3, to - recapture first place by one game. i Diz and Tex Clash Dizzy Dean left the rubber in the first inning to exchange blows with Tex Carleton, idle Chicago pitcher. who was “riding” him- from the dugout. Other players and the umpires separated the pair before any damage was done. The adversaries were not banished from the field and Dean went on to capture ; his nineteenth. victory. The Boston Bees: outslugged the Phillies, 9-7, in the only other game in the National League. The Washington Senators de feated the New York Yankees, 13-4, in the one game played in the American League. The defeat re duced New York's Jead over the. second-place Cleveland Indians from 12 to 11% games.
