MSS HARRIETT RANDALL not only takes a large divot out of the popular masculine theory that women play wood shots poorly. but she also proves that in golf there is no substitute for practice and experience.

SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1939
PRINCETON, N. J, June 17 (U. P.) —Sydney Wooderson, a little! man with a giant's stride, will be shooting at his own world’s record | when the starter fires the gun for the feature mile of the sixth annual Princeton invitation track meet about sundown today.
The diminutive Englishman, who set the outdoor mark of 4:06.4 for eight furlongs two years ago, is not worried a mite about America’s select quartet of milers who will face him. He is the greatest master of pace since Paavo Nurmi. He has set a flat 4:03 mile as his goal today. On paper, Glenn Cunningham should be his closest challenger, but Glenn's old legs are not what they used to be, and he admits he is not, in condition for a record-breaking effort. Cunningham actually has run a faster mile than Wooderson, but his 4:044 was registered around the boards at Dartmouth in the winter | of 1937, and indoor accomplishments are not recognized by the Interational Amateur Athletic Federation. The dark horse in this race is Charles (Chuck) Fenske, the wiry Wisconsin lad, who has worked harder conditioning for this race than | for any other in his life. San Romani has been sounding off about | being ready for a record-breaking run, and this would be the auspicious | time for him to let it come forth. The fifth runner will be Blaine Rideout from North Texas State Teachers College. | This is the final of the five-event program. Next in intevest is the half-mile. The field will be headed by John Borican, the Elberton, | N. J. Negro, who holds the indoor mark of 1:498 and will include Chuck Beetham, winner last year; Ed Burrowes, Princeton freshman, and Howard Borck, national 800-meter champion. Don Lash of the Indiana State Police will shoot at the two-mile record of 8:36, with which Miklos Szabo, the Hungarian, erased Don's name from the record books in 1937. This is the third event on the program, and Don will face his old Indiana teammate, Tommy Deckard: Joe McCluskey and George de George of New York, and Rendel of
Alfred University. The Indians —

Second Place Battles Are On
4 American League Clubs Fight for Runnerup Spot.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 17.—With the Yankees off by themselves with a

ing along behind a 3's game lead,
both major leagues could offer noth= | ui
ing better today than two thrilling battles for second place. The American League is having an exciting tussle for second place— if anybody cares who finishes seecond—with four clubs all using the same blanket overnight. The gap between the second-place Red Sox and the fifth-place Tigers is only a game and a half. The National League's runnerup seramble isn’t quite so close, but Barring the Reds, and the Phils on the bottom, any of the other six clubs seem to have a shot at second place honors judging on today's stand-
ings. Are They Hot?
The Tigers and Giants are presently the two hottest clubs in the majors, and both are closing in on second place fast. Detroit ran off its ninth straight yesterday by slamming down the Red Sox for the fourth time in a row, 8-7. Charlie Gehringer hit a homer and two singles, driving in three runs. Terry's amazing Giants, still hustling their heads off with a patchwork lineup in which only four men are playing their regular positions, ran off their eighth straight —five of them over the Cubs—by beating Hartnett’'s hirelings, 6-4. Frank Demaree tormented his former mates by driving in three runs with a double and single. The Yanks beat the Indians for the second straight day, 4-3. In the

In the other two American League games Washington beat the White
Sox, 5-2, and the Athletics put on
a three-run rally in the ninth to trim the Browns, 11-10. George Case stole his 25th base in the Senators’ victory. The Cardinals trimmed half a game off the idle Reds’ lead by nosing out the ‘Dodgers, 7-6. Johnny Mize had “three for three” and Medwick and Padgett hit homers, which was fortunate, as Warneke

LOS ANGELES, June 17 (U, P.)) .—Individual performers today tried for new world and American track and field records in the National Col= legiate Athletic Association meet as the University of Southern California virtually was conceded the team championship. The record-breaking parade started during qualifying trials yestere day when big Elmer Hackney of Kansas State shattered the American mark in the shotput with a heave of 55 feet, 103% inches, after having broken the N.

Hoag snatched the American League lead from McQuinn by .0001 point by adding .017 points to his average.
Wyatt Takes Lead Whit Wyatt, Brooklyn, who has been nursing an injured knee, returned to action and won his fifth games in a relief role to take the

records were set by Jack Torrance of Louisiana State in 1934. Even the most ardent supporters of other schools did not see where any of them had a chance to win the title after U. S. C. sent a team of 15 men into the finals. The title has rested with the Trojans since 1935. Stanford was second with 10 qualifiers and Michigan third with seven. Considering performances in the trials, close finishes were antici pated in the 100, 220 and 440-yarc dashes as well as in both hurdle races. Ellerbe Slight Favorite
Clyde Jeffrey of Stanford, dee fending champion Mozel Ellerbe of Tuskegee Institute and Tommy Nelson of Fresno State College will be pitted against each other in the 100. Ellerbe was a slight favorite to win. Jeffrey also emerged on top in his heat of the 220-yard dash in the fast time of 21.1 seconds which was equalled in the next heat by Curtis Ledford of Washington State, Bob Lewis of Ohio State won his, trial in 214. On the basis of time in the trials, Fred Wolcott of Rice would appear to have an edge in both the high and low hurdles. In the high sticks Wolcott made the fast time of 14.3 seconds while in the 220-yard low barriers he skimmed to an easy victory in 23.3 seconds.
Marshall Has It Easy
Jim Humphrey of U. S. C. cleared the high hurdles in 14.6 and ended fresh. Boyce Gatewood of Texas won his heat in 14.5 and probably will be among the point winners. In the low hurdles Earl Vickery of U. S. C. won his heat in 23.5. Charles Marshall of Butler won his heat in 23.8 seconds without being challenged seriously while Roy Cochran of Indiana won his race in 23.6. Probably the tightest race on the program today will be the 440-yard dash in which six runners demon strated they were capable of 47.2 seconds or better.

College Crews in Long Grind Today
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 17 (U. P).—They row the 42d Poughe Keepsie Regatta at dusk today and, if you like a crew with a reputae tion, put your greenbacks on the Golden Bears of California in the varsity main event. If you go for a crew with fight, ride along with Uncle Sam's Middies of Annapolis, the boys who showed them the way home last year, And if you're one to string along with an eight that always shows | promise in training but never comes through when the chips are down, then stand up and cheer for old Cornell. There'll be four other boats in that back-breaking swing down stream tonight—Washington, Syraecuse, Columbia and Wisconsin—but California, Navy and Cornell are the “big boys” But strange things happen to old man river, and when they swing away from the stake boats on the four-mile carnival it'll be every man for himself with the long shots having just as much chance.
