The New OREGON Statesman, Salem, Oregon, Thursday Morning, August 2, 1928 10 MaHcIkes TV p no is mpic Sprang GSiam Oly Yankee Athletes Lose Races But Win Most Of Contests In Field By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) OLYMPIC STADIUM, Amsterdam, August 1 (AP) Fer vor cy Williams, 19-year-old taken along just to keep peace in the Dominion athletic fam ily is now sprint champion of the world. Flashing the same speed, the same remarkable stamina and the same spectacular sort of finish that gave him the 100 meter victory two days ago, the curly-haired youth from Vancouver stagra a whirlwind spurt and won the 200 meters from the best America, England and Germany could pro duce. William?, who was thought to have shot his bolt in the 100, came from behind in a closely bunched f ieldo beat Walter Rangeley of Great Britain by a yard with Jackson Scholz, 1924 champion, and Helmut Koernig, German favor ite, declared tied for third by the judges after a long debate. To make the Americans' rout on the red-cindered Olympic oval worse, S. J. Atkins, rangy the pack in a spectacular 110 me ter hurdle final to beat the Amer ican trio of Stephen Anderson, John Collier and Lelghton Dye and equal the world's record of 14 4-6 seconds. Atkinson beat Ander son by Inches in a dazzling finish after Collier, leading at the eighth hurdle, faltered together with O. W. Welghtman-9mith another South African who had beaten the world's record yesterday only to finish fifth today. -On a rainy day which also saw Lloyd Hahn pass completely and dismally from the Olympic picture! in the first 1500 meter trial, it took a series of brilliant perform ances by American stalwarts in the field to lift a portion of the gloom now shrouding the Yan kee camp. Bud Houser. Los An geles dentist, and Sabln Carr. the young man from Yale and Dub uque did it. Field Events Spectacular In two Olympic record breaking performances, Houser repeated his 1924 discus throwing triumph with two other Americans, Jim Corson and John Anderson, plac ing third and fifth while Carr top ped the pole vaulting field in which the Yankees took four of the first five places. The pole vault was almost ex clusively a nAmerican affair as had been expected. Carr with 4.20 meters or 13 feet 9 6-16 inches, and William Droegemueller with 4.10 meters or 13-5 7-16 inches. battled it out for first place in a great duel. Charley McOinnis cap tured a jump-off of a triple tie for third place, thereby sending the stars and stripes up three Olympic poles and giving the Yan kee contingent its biggest thrill thus far. Lee Barnes, off form, cot only lost the title won in 1924 but also lost the Jump-off for fourth place with Victory Pick ard, a Canadian who has been at tending the University of Pitts burgh. ' Houser demonstrated himself a marvelous competitor for he came tack to win with a record throw of 47.32 eters or 155 feet 2 101 128 inches after nearly being elim inated in the trials. The Calif or nlan qualified in his third trial throw after fouling once and miss ing his second toss. He then put on pressure to beat the Finn AI Kivl and the American Corson, both of whom also bettered Hous er's former Olympic record. Ray Conger, slim Iowan. alone among the Americans, survived the 1500 meter trials and did it impressively by winning the toughest heat in which two favor ites, Edwin Wide of Sweden and Dr. Otto Peltier of Germany were eliminated. Conger exhibited his famous finishing kick to win after facing apparent defeat. Harden Clue Reported When Attempts Made To Cash Stolen Order PETALUMA. Cal.. Aug. 1. (AP) On report that a man an swering the description of William Herder, ex-convict from Oregon, had tried to cash here a postal money order stolen In the Willow Creek postofflce robbery July 13, police here began an intensive search for Herder. Automobiles were used to scour the town and surrounding countrty. The Western Union manager here reported the attempt to cash money order No. 1S.734, listed as stolen at Willow Creek. The man ager refnsed to cash the order, but made a note of the nnmber and reported the matter to the au thorities. The Willow Creek postofflce was looted by three men, one of whom, John W. Bishop, ex-convict, was killed In the battle where Deputy Sheriff William Carpenter lost his life. Twilight All 1 (Kay Sunday, ; While the Senators axe away from home Sunday, doing their best to keep on top of the heap in the Willamette Valley league, local fans who don't go along to support the team there will have an opportunity to do so in a dif ferent manner at home. Sunday afternoon at Oxford Park the all-star teams in the Commercial and Industrial leagues wilr play a "little world series all In one encounter for the city championship, and the proceeds Will go to help out the Senators' ailing treasury, Ray Rite hler who is la charge tf the Industrial league stars, has announced his squad of It players, but has not definitely assigned them to positions. The starting battery will be Kimlnki and Blpola, with Glggere en hand or relief mouad duty. All three are Hansen-Lfljequlat play ers. In fielders will be picked from Canadian schoolboy, who was. bouth African, emergrd from mm will go Two unquestionably tough games are ahead for the Salem Senators this week-end. The boys will leave by automobile this morning for Medford, where they will meet the speedy outfit that represents that city in a diamond contest which will be part of the entertainment at the state Amer ican Legion convention. Manager Court Hall of the Med ford team has some heavy hitting boys in his batting order, and Jack Hughes, a submarine type of pitcher who is just the kind the Senators don't like, for mound duty. He pitches something like Bill Baker, who has twice held the Salem boys to a few scratch bits. Hughes is a youngster, Just out of high school; but if he does not cut the mustard, then Hall will shove in Cliff Best,, one of the pioneer curve artists in that part of the country. Manager Leo Edwards will probably start Kermit Russell, hefty cross-ball chucker who will be getting back into the game af-j ter three weeks of inactivity on account of an injury. Otherwise the Senators will have their regular lineup with the exception that Harold Hauk will play second base in the absence of Clem Keber, who was unable to get away to make the trip. The boys will come back from Medford just in time to start out again for Albany, where they will play the Alcos and that's "enough said." Red Rupert's team is never an easy opponent for a Salem team, and there's plenty at stake Sunday. True, Salem is at the top of the heap and Albany at the bottom, but Salem must keep up its winning streak or lose out because Bend also has a perfect record to date, and probably won't be headed off until, per haps, one of the two games with Salem that wind up the season. SLOTEN, Holland, Aug. 1. (AP). American oarsmen hope to avenge their compatriots' re verse on the Olympic running track when the biggest rowing re gatta In Olympic history starts bright and early tomorrow morn ing. It starts early because heats will continue every quarter hour until late in the evening but It fs doubtful whether it will literally be very bright, for the blue skies and sunshine which welcomed the Americans to Holland a fortnight ago had become drab and dreary. Greatest interest here is in the big California crew and In Amer ica's chance of winning the scull ing events. California's first opponent will be the Belgian eight in a race scheduled for 5:45 o'clock to morrow afternoon. Ken Myers of Philadelphia will meet a South African oarsman in the single scuUs while in the double scull Charles Mcllvane and Paul Cos- tello of the Penn A. C. take on the Swiss.

TO MEDFORD TODaY OLYMPIC REIWiniE SCHEDULED TODAY Players By Billy Evans Fate plays many queer and un usual pranks in baseball. Es pecially is this true where a dis card one day may be a hero tne next day and where a player caught in the whirligig of a trade may find himself traveling from nant-winning one. Take the cases of Earl Smith and Clarence Mitchell, both vet eran National Leaguers and close to the end of their playing days. A few years ago, "Oil" Smith was with the New York Giants. He got in a pair of world series and was then traded to the much- stepped on Boston Braves- He seemed definitely out of any world series money as long as he was with the Braves, but another exchange took him to the Pirates and with that club he got into the 1925 and 1927 blue ribbon classics. Smith Lands Twice Now Smith comes across with another fast one in recent weeks Released by the Pirates, he grabbed a job with the St. Louis Cardinals, leading contender for the pennant. Hence, two "trips" are likely to put Smith into three world series over a four-season span. Small wonder it is it Earl is strong for the swapping marts or unconditional release. Mitchell's case Is very similar to Smith's. He has been in only one world series, with Brooklyn in 1920. He started this year with the Phillies, his fifth with that club, and had no possible chance to get any world series dough. Burt . Shotten, rebuilding his club, let the veteran go. And where did he go? He joined the Cards, and, like Smith, may get in on a world series slice this year. There also is the case of Dutch Reuther, now in the Pacific Coast league. Reuther put in quite a few seasons with Brooklyn and Cincinnati, getting into but one world series with the Reds in 1919. Helps Cop Flag Waived out of the older circuit, Reuther caught on with Washing ton and helped the Nats cop their second flag. About a month be fore the end of the following cam paign, Reuther went to the Yan kees on waivers and got in the big games that fall. Joe Harris, one-time Red Sox GENERAL . DIRECTORY AUCTIONEER F. N.
