: Cator holds the official world

the Colombes Stadium. Paris, short
ly after he finished second to Ed
Hamra of the U. 8. A. In the 1028
Olympic championships In Anmter

advises that Cator, In fine condition
for the Olympics after sir months or
consistent training, Is credited with
exceeding his own record In prac
tice. Nambu. last October, hopped 26
feet, a 1-8 Inches at Toklo In the
Japanese national championships.
This mark will be submit ted for a
new world record when the I. A. A.

Once U. 8. Pushover
Heretofore the Olympic broad
Jump has usually been Just one or
two big leaps and a breeze for our
boys. The reamn they lost In 1020
at Antwerp, where Pettersson of
Sweden topped tho list at only 23
feet, 6 Inches, was because Sol
Butter,' the great negro, pulled a
tendon on bis first trial. Uutler
was doing better than 25 feet and
appeared sure of a world record un
til he broke down. In the finals,
Carl Johnson, the hurdler, and
"Dink' Templeton, the high Junip
er, got second and fourth places tor
the United States.
DeHnrt Hubbard and Ed Hnmm.
within the past ten years, consist
ently proved themselves the world's
best brofld Jumpers. Hubbard, des
pite a bad foot, won the Olympic
crown In 1924. Hnmm set a world
record or 25 feet 11 1-8 Inches in
the 1928 rinal American try out and
then, on one of Ms last attempts.
Jumped to a new Olympic record of
25 feet, i4i inches, at Amsterdam.
This mark should tumble next Aug

The best broad Jump in Olympic
competition was not made In the
individual championship event. The
late Robert LeClendre of George
town cleared 23 feet 0 Inches at
Parts In 1924 while competing In
the pentathlon. It was in the same
pit that Cntor four years Inter set
a new world record.

The American prospects this year
are good but not exceptional. There
is no one of the class of Hamm or
Hubbard to carry the battle attaint
Nambu and Cator. Perhaps the
beat candidate is Dick Barber.
Southern California star, who won
the T. C. A. A. A. A. title with a rec
ord leap of 25 feet. 34 inches laM
year and recently did 25-4 In the
Fresno relays. His best is 25-7 and
he may find the extra kick ncccwary
to reach the 26-foot mark.
Al Bates, the national champion,
Kd Oordon of Iowa and IVmolne
Boyle, who ceveloped rapidly under
Lawson Robertaon at Pennsylvania
last year, all are capable of better

Pirates Poison

Iiy Ilertierx Y. ;-arker
(Ajutoctated Press Sports Writer)
One of the minor mysteries of the
major league season has been the
ease with which tlie Pittsburgh Pi
rates, floundering around In the
National league's second division
most of the tlne, have been able to
take the St. Louts Cardinals over the
traces.
Their eighth victory over the
champions, achieved yesterday by
an 8-4 count, boosted the Pirates
Into fourth place, only one game
behind the third place Cincinnati
Reds. Larry French, hard-working
left bander whose name has ap
peared in 14 Pirate box scores al
ready this season, wont the route
although walloped for 14 hits. It
was French's fourth victory of the
season and the pirates' fourth In
succession. They now have won
seven of their lost eight games.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Cubs in
creased their league lead to a game
and a hnlf by beating Clnclniital.
0-4. while, tho Boston Braves suc
cumbed again to the Phillies, 8-5.
Tho Cubs rushed all their runs
across the plate in the third inn
ing, Charlie Grimm's, homer with
oue on being the hl;h spot.
George Kelly's second home run
in as many days started a five run
Brooklyn rally that sank the New
York Olants, 5 to 2. and dropped
McOraw's henchmen Into the cellar.
Tho American league schedule
was restricted to two games. Tho
Detroit Tigers bunched ten hits to
good advantage to halt the Chicago
Wnito Sox, 7-5, and tighten their
grip on third plnce.
The Cleveland Indians battered
George Blneholder for nine hits and
six runs In sewn Innings and
coasted to a fairly easy victory over
tho St. Louis Browns, 6-3. CUnt
Brown gave five hits, one Goose
