Gunder Hagg winning the N. A. A. U, 5000-meter title yes-
By ‘JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, June 21.—The most. interested spectator at the race of the century, the 5000 meters at Randalls island in Sunday’s sun was Gunder Hagg, the mechanical man from Sweden. No sucker, he functioned both as a participant and a spectator. All through the race he was gandering back to see what the rest of the field were doing. At first his actions puzzled the crowd. But it soon became evident he was just another fan. After all he was seeing his first’ race in America. It must be assumed he enjoyed himself. From where he was the
race had to appeal to him. There was nothing he saw that was
calculated to give him any alarm. He broke on top, as they say at * the track, set his own pace and won as he pleased. At one time he was so far out in’ front it would ‘have taken a long distance phone call to contact his mearest rival, who happened to be none other than stumpy little Greg Rice, the best middle distance runner this country ever produced, ” ” #” ” » » EXCEPT FOR THE testimony of the stop watch, the 24-year-old splinter of a Swede lived up to the very last agate line in his press notices. He simply flows along with the wind in an easy, effortless stride. Your eyes followed him once aroynd the track and youeknew ‘you were looking at a great runner; you were convinced there was nothing freakish about those seven world records he set last summer in his home land.

The time-—14.48.5—was some 50 seronlls oft the ‘Swede’s own record for the distance. It was even nearly 15 seconds back of Rice’s. own record—admittedly mediocre. So many. things could have: contributed to that. The Swede had spent 26 days on a tanker and had only 10 days.of training; he was making his first start in a strange country and in strange climate. It doesn’t figure he was primed for his best.” Against this kind of time Rice should have made it. closer; should have won. But he’s in the'merchant marine now and his training is done on a catch as catch can basis. Just the same he gave the race what little drama it had; he put on his customary kick sprint and ate up a lot of ground on the last lap but still wasn’t able to make : it close. ” » . . . td ' TO ALL INTENTS and purposes the race was over at the two-mile mark. At this point the streamlined Swede whose unsheared hair floats-out in the wind giving his head a blurred effect was aiready beginning to lap the stragglers and the addicts were standing up and applauding his smooth, rhythmic running style. Rice, unbeaten in 65 starts, was their popular choice but they realized they were looking at something special in this human hairpin. As the race was run only Hagg and Rice were in it. Rice finished physically distressed. Hagg came immediately from the track and made his way to the’ top rim of the stand to drench a short wave.rrdio with native phrases, the gist of which seemed to be: ‘‘Hello, mom! I win easy.” The combination of inadequate training and climate
Wham!
may Have dulled - the Swede's ‘speed but apparently ‘if didn't: cut’
into his stamina... The infield was. cleared of practically everybody before the race: started. This included the badge wearers who were requested to take
. seats in the stands.. Before the badge wearers rushed for the
there had been hundreds of empty seats. Now the stands groaned under an overflow load. The better athletes wére permitted to remain in the infield, fellows like Warmerdam and McCluskey, and they paid the Swede the tribute supreme; they couldn't takes thejr eyes off the Count Fleet of the cinder paths. There were 10 starters. The other eight came out merely to fal the race. Either that or they wanted to beat the weather by wearing ° their shorts. None had ever figured to make Rice extend himself. And certainly none belonged on the same track with the Swede. This: poses a problem: Rice is admittedly our best and the feeling is growing he isn’t good enough. Who then is there to run against Hagg in the other races scheduled for him? Maybe Count Fleet's a .
good name for him. The Count seems to have run nse! out of
competition, too. » "8 » » »
WELL, IF that comes to pass the Swede can just go sight seeing ’ concern himself with the ban on

Manager Ownie Bush announced that Earl Reid, righthander, is to be sent against ‘Skipper Nick Cullop’s third-place Birds. The Tribesters are two games ahead of Milwaukee and six ahead of Columbus. However, although the league standing adds up-to a two-game lead for Indianapolis over the Brewers, the Indians enjoy an additional edge. Their lead is actually closer to three games owing to the fact Milwaukee has played 47 games to 39 by the Tribe and has six more defeats with only two more ‘victories.
Three-Game Series
Columbus is here for a threegame series, tonight, tomorrow night and Wednesday night. Tomorrow will be Shrine Night at Victory field. Yesterday's Tribe - victories over the Mud Hens were pitched by John Hutchings, 5 to 3, and Jim Trexler, 5 to 'l. It was Trexler's second triumph in the series as he blanked the Hens in the second half of last Thursday's twin bill. It was his eighth victory against only one setback. Horseshoes helped Hutchings over the hump yesterday in the nineinning contest. With the score tied at 3-all, Ed Morgan belted a double after two down in the Tribe seventh. Stewart Hofferth was given an intensional walk by Bill Seinsoth, Toledo southpaw. Then the lefty lost control and walked Willard Pike, filling the bases. Luck sided with the Indians as a stiff wind swept the field. Mickey Haslin hit a high infield fly and Lin Storti, Toledo third sacker, tried for
" {it.- But the wind played tricks with
the ball and it blew away from his glove and landed for a lucky hit, Morgan and Hofferth scoring.
Nine Hits Apiece
The teams garnered nine hits apiece, the ‘Indians were charged with two errors, the Hens none. The fielding gem was a running, one-handed catch by Wayne Blackburn in the seventh on Keller's drive in left center. Hofferth cleaned the bases in the first inning when he walloped a long double to deep left center. Moore, English and Morgan clattered home on the timely blow. Hal Epps, Toledo center fielder, clouted three singles and a double and walked once. He also scored two runs. Jimmy Bucher, second baseman, batted in the Hens’ three runs. In the seven-inning second game the Indians scored one marker in the first stanza, three in the second and one in the sixth. In the second canto an error, giving Pike a lift, was followed by another Hofferth ‘“special,” a rousing double, and Pike scored. Haslin sacrificed and Hofferth tallied on Carl Fairly’s single.
Trexler Pounds Triple
Jim Trexler thrilled the crowd by smacking a 400-foot triple to right center, scoring Fairly. A double by
. | Haslin scored Pike in the sixth. The
Indians’ first inning run was manufactured on singles by Blackburn and Moore, the former scoring when English stroked into a double play. The Hens registered their lone run off Trexler in the fifth on Bob Wren’s single, Red Hayworth’s double and a long fly by Schulte. Toledo got seven hits in.the nightcap, the Indians six. The Hens made two errors, the Tribesters one. Fred Vaughn, Tribe second sacker, reported with a bad cold yesterday and remained out of action. The veteran Haslin held down the keystone in both games.

tile task and agreed to reconvene today. . As is the case in most controversial questions in the circuit the issue centered around George P, Marshall, colorful owner of the world champion Washington Redskins. Marshall purportedly had an agreement with the league that he be given six home games. He advertised the season ticket sale’ ;n the capital on that basis,
‘Get Six Games
When the tentative schedule was drafted early yesterday the Red-
skins were given the six games.
Then the furor started. The New York Giants said if the Redskins were entitled to six home
‘| games. that they wanted a like
number. - At one time the Giants threatened to abandon competition unless their demand was met. Mara, president of the Giants, dropped the threat but stuck in his demand. ¥Ynder the schedule President Elmer Layden originally proposed the Redskins would have six games at home, the Chicago Cardinals four and all the remaining clubs five. That schedule plan was bas ‘upon a 10-game playing program. Each club in the league would have played home - and - home engage~ ments with every other club in its division and one game each with
-| clubs in the opposite division.
When the impasse. was reached this schedule arrangement tentatively was abandoned and Layden set about to draft a schedule proposed by Earl (Curley) Lambean
of the Green Bay Packers. This:
calls for one game with every other club in the league and the remaining three contests against “selected” rivals. Bitterest Wrangle
