this country has the greatest crop

Naturally American hopes are
pinned mostly upon Gene Venzke,
the Minnesota-born youth who came
east to learn how to run and within

the greatest injler this country ever

Taken as a group, I would hesi

' Hallowell won the eastern indoor

Not even this astounding outburst
of speed, however, can assure the
U. S. A. anything like an Olympic
sweep. It is well to remember that
with four of the best men this coun
try ever sent Into the 1,600, the
"nig Four" of 1912, an outsider In
the long-striding form of Arnold H,
S. Jackson of England came through
to win and hand America one of Its
biggent Olympic shocks. That was
at Stockholm In 1912. Jackson
adopted the U. 8. A. after the war
and now lives In Louisville. Hill of
England won the event In 1020, then
the Finns took charge.
The outstanding foreign contend
ers this year and possibly the favor
ites are R. H. Thomas, crack mile
champion of Great Britain with a
mark of 4:13, and Hurrl Larva, who
set the present Olympic 1,600-mcter
record of 3:63.2 at Amsterdam. Ap
parently Finland is so sure of Lar
va's ability to defend his title sue
cessfully that ft will not start eith

Venzke will be carefully "rated
for his first Olympic test. The try-
out program Is perfectly suited to
keep him on edge and Gene should
be ready to run the race of his life
at Los Angeles early In August. He
Is capable of knocking off 1,600
meters In 3:50.
Hallowell and Nordell, the eastern
college aces, would make good run
ning mates for Venzke. Hallowell.
greatest mllcr Harvard ever pro
duced, has the stuff to win If It
comes down to a real stretch battle.
Nordell Is ninny and powerful. -
Brocksmlth might have a better
c banco to win Olympic honors In
the 8.000 meter steeplechase or 5,000
meter flat. Lermond probably will
try again In the 6.000, In which he
finished fourth In 1028.

better pitching and hitting than
any of their western neighbors, had
slipped back Into second place In
the American league today, a half
game ahead of the faltering Wash

: The fact, almost unnoticed In the
turmoil of yesterday's Memorial

Tigers set a hot pace In the. opening
weeks of the compoign and were
leading the league until they made
their first trip east.
