timber toppers "lii"' before the final
of the Olympic 110-meter race Is run
at Los Angeles this August.
High hurdling has always found
Its most apt pupils In the United
States. The U. 8. A. has won seven
of the nine Olympic championships
In this specialty,
. This country has, at the moment,
the speediest collection tof young
hurdlers In the history of the coun
try, with a new claimant of the
world record in Percy Beard, who
won the national 120-yard champion
ship last year in 14.2 seconds, and a
lightning flash in Jack Keller of
Ohio State, who covered the route
In 14 seconds flat with a brisk breeze
behind him.
Three Kcjiinl World M;irk
Threo other college products
Gene Record of Harvard, Oeoree
Sa'tng of Iowa and Lee Sent man of
Illinois all have equaled the listed
world record of 14.4 for 120 yards, a
mark that was considered almost
impregnable and In a class with Ted
Meredith's lately -shattered quarter
mllo record until the new generation
started galloping. It was set In 1920
by Earl Thomson, . the great Cana
dian and Dartmouth hurdler.
, On -the opposite side of the hur
dling picture, however, Is the Indis
putable fact that since the' war the
U. 8. A. has more than met Its Olym
pic match in foreign rivals. .
Thomson's victory for Canada "m,
1020 lert no bitter sting, for he was
a product of one of this country's
foremjost teachers, Harry Hi 11 man.
I But In 1924 Dan Klnsey of Illinois
barely breasted the tape ahead of
Steve Atkinson or. south Airlca, with
two Swedes In hot pursuit.
Four years later this sarnie Atkin
son sweeped home first in the final,
nosing out Steve Anderson of Wash
ington after another South African.
Wcightman Smith, had lowered the
Olympic record to 14.6 seconds In
the semi-finals.
Scandinavians Challenging
With these gaudy achievements
tho South Africans may have shot
their bolt for the time being, but It
apparently is. the Scandinavians'
turn to Issue another threat to our
boys.
Wennstrom of Sweden and SJo
stedt of Finland did not startel the
onlookers with their performances
In the 1928 earnes at Amtcsrdam.
I but the former has since taken pos
session of the world record of 14.4
for the 110-meter hurdles and the
latter has equaled It.
Sten Pettersson, another Swedish
star, has a build like Percy Beard's,
but he probably will concentrate on
tho 400-meter low hurdles, as will
tho defending champion In that
event. Lord David Burghley of Eng
land, i
Beard, an Alabama boy, should be
tho Olympic fnvorlte. Standing 6
feet 4 Inches, with a tremendous
stride, he has every qualification for
the perfect high hurdler.
Keller has shown some amafting
flights over the timbers, however,
and when "hot" is capable of beating
anyone in the world. Record Is a
great competitor of the same type
aa the 1924 winner, Klnsey.

Armour with 75-71, and Sarazen, one
of the leaders yesterday with a 73

Alfred Robert Bradbeer, young
Somerset professional, held the lead,
with only a few scores yet to be post

a ?1 to his 70 of yesterday.
The main interest, however, was
furnished by Eric McRuvle, young
Scotch amateur and Walker Cup
player and Don Curtis, English pro

record of Jock Hutchinson and Ar

Wrecking Crew
Of Phillies W
Against Robins
Uy Oarle Talbot
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Should Burt Shotton's Phillies get
even passable pitching the next two
weeks, they are likely to make a world
of trouble for their guests from the
western end of the National league.
Starting today against the Pitts
burgh Pirates, the slugging Phils en
tertain Cincinnati. St. Louis and Chi
cago In that order, and they prom
ise to be anything but a soft touch
In their own Baker bowl with Its In
viting fight field wall.
The club still Is without a compe
tent pitching staff, but It has prob
ably the most effective "wrecking
ciew" in the National league, with
Chuck Klein, Pinky Whitney and
Don Kurst the big guns.
In their last 15 games, of which
they have won eight, the Phils have
banged an -average of H hits and
scored better than seven runs to
the contest. . ,
Against Brooklyn yesterday the
only game played In either major
league the Klein-Hurst-Whitney
combination worked overtime, con
tributing 10 of the team's 21 hits
off three Dodger hurlers and other
wise playing a large part In the 15
to 7 victory. ' ,
Whitney- pushed across four runs
with r. double and two singles. Hurst
hit four singles In as many official
trips and scored four times, and Klein
hit his 14th homerun of the year and
a brace of singles. The assault gen
erated by the trio netted 14 runs In
the first five innings.
Hack Wilson led a futile Brooklyn
rally In the late Innings with his
ninth and tenth homeruns, eventu
ally driving Phil Collins from the
box. Lefty O'Doul and Glenn Wright
also hit for the circuit.
Most of the fourteen other clubs
spent the day either In travel or In
exhibitions.

Jack Dempsey has gone back into
tho hotel business in Los Angeles, af
ter a very profitable season around
the exhibition circuit.
Our hot-stove-league hopes for the
old nauer's return to some real ring
action, possibly for a return match
with Jack Sharkey, or a itle bout
with Max Schmeling, seem well dis
sipated. Dempsey's barnstorming, no doubt,
helped convince him he is through
so far as serious : fighting is con
cerned. . ,
It likely Is all tor the best. We
like to recall h former champion
as he looked on the night he flayed
the robust chin of Gene Tunney at
Chicago. Bloody as he j was and
beaten at the finish, Dempsey
looked the great warrior again .for
a few flashes that evening before

He can afford to rest on his
laurels and his Income.

tory. AMERICAN HOPES ... , , ,
In 1021, on a windy, rain-swept
Scottish course, . Alexa was drawn
with Miss Cecil Leltch In the first
round, and was beaten, . largely by
her own mistakes. Miss Leltch then
occupied the same relation ,to Brit
ish women's golf as Miss Wethered.
when she - beat Glenna Collett In
that remarkable match fri 1929 at St.
Andrews.
Glenna was back again tri 1930. to
beat Miss Enid Wilson, considered
to have taken Miss Wethered's
place on ,the tatter's retirement
only to lose by an unaccountable
lapse In putting against Miss fJlnna
Fishwlck in the final match. -
Miss Fishwlck visited this coun
try the next year, but showed little
to Impress tiie critics with her suY
periorlty as British champion. AnU
Miss- Wilson, in her play over here"
last year, was beaten by Helcri
Hicks In tlie United States chamr
plonshlp as was Glenna also.
Miss Wilson gained a measure df
revenge by beating Miss Hicks lii
the Wentworth matches, and Glen
n's again went down before j Miss
Wethered.
Mrs. Hill's Cold and rhethodical
attack seems as likely as any to be
successful on British turf.
