Peacock Wins 100 - Yard . , Dash by Foot Because of Speedy Getaway NEW YORK, N. Y.. July 9. (JP) Jesse Owens of Ohio State and his national championship ' conqueror. Enlace Peacock of ; Temple, broke even in two events tonight in their final duel of the 1935 track and. field season but were obliged to share the honors ,of a rain-drenched all-star meet, conducted on New York univer sity' Ohio field, with two bril liant record performances. Peacock capitalized his speedier getaway, and withstood Owens' sensational finishing drive to win the 100-yard dash by a scant foot Jn 9.7 seconds. The "Buckeye ; Bullet" came back on a slippery take-off to square accounts in the broad Jump with a leap of 23 feet 9 inches. Peacock's best was 23 feet. 64 inche. 2-Mile Mark Kalis An unheralded foot-racer from the far west. Norman Bright of Blllingham. Wash., carrying the colors of the San Francisco Olym picClub, electrified the crowd of several hundred weather-defying enthusiasts by romping to victory over Joe McCluskey of ie New York A. C. in American record time for the two-mile run. Bright left McCluskey flat- i footed on the last lap to win by 30 yards in 9 minutes, 13.2 sec onds. This clipped more than two seconds from the former U. S. outdoor mark cf :15.4 hung up Ty Joe Marigan of Cornell uni versity of the Princeton" track in July 1933. Bright gave the timers a sur prise at the outset by requesting he be given the times at each quarter, then made good his rec ord breaking threat with a spec tacular last lap sprin '. He said afterward it was his first two mile race in competition. He has been timed for the mile in 4:14.5. Formerly a comp 'tor for Wash ington State Normal, he is now a graduate student at Stanford university. A new "world record" was claimed for the flashy New York A. C. quartet ;n the 1,000 meter Swedish relay. The evut, new to this country, is not on the of ficial world record list author ized by the International A. A. F. tut the winners' time of 1 min ate, 56.1 seconds was six-tenths of a second faster thaft the best previous listed performance, made by an American team consisting f Eulace Peacock, Bob Kane, Glenn Hardin and Ben Eastman at Oslo. Norway, last summer.

C, are separ ating "because of religious differ ences." She is the former Mary Ellen Sullivan. She was the director of a Capital hotel coffee shop before their sudden surprise marriage. Hints of religious difficulties arose immediately afterward with the new Mrs. Baer asserting Max would have a fight on his hands every Sunday if he did sot go to church. Max said afterward he was not sure whether he was Jewish. His bride was a Catholic. The News quoted Baer saying he and his wife would confer later this week on the separation before he goes to a hospital at Balti more. LONG BRANCH, N. J., July 9. -(;P)-Mrs. Mary Ellen Sullivan Baer laughingly denied reports of a rift between her and her pugi list husband, Max Baer. Didn't Go To City "There is nothing to it," she said. "I didn't feel like going to New York with Max and I sup pose that someone seeing him alone immediately thought the worst. Mrs. Baer explained that she had been suffering from a cold and has been under the care of her physician. Dr. M. A. Aaron son of Long Branch. "We are very happy," she said "I talked to Max at 5 o'clock to day and if there was anything wrong then, he failed to mention it." Mrs. Baer seemed more amused than disturbed at reports that Baer had announced that a sep aration impended because of "re ligious differences.'' She was sit ting on the porch of their cottage with friends, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Ann Heiles and Jerry Casale, Long Branch fight promoter.

Wait's, the team that has been the favorite of the crowd all this year, was virtually out of the first half race until both Kay Mill, and Pade's were victims of upsets on the final night of regular first half play. Monday night the Butchers got Pade's out of the 'road and now face the Kay Mill team which has won the epithet of "lucky" from the number of games it has won on forlorn hopes. Marvin "Ritchie will pitch for Wait's while Mick enham is slated for mound duty with Kay's. A softball team from Lebanon will meet Hogg Bros, in a prelim inary tilt at 8:30.

Paddock, who once held most of the sprint rec ords in the book, scanned the 1936 Olympic games horizon to day and saw only Eulace Peacock of Temple as a sure bet to defend the dash honors at Berlin for the United States. Only dimly could the once fast est human, veteran of three Olympiads, see such speedsters as Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalfe and George Anderson, as he paus ed in his duties as business man ager of the Press Telegram Pub lishing company. "I can only see Peacock as a certain performer in the games at Berlin," said Paddock almost without hesitation. "I'm afraid Metcalfe can't hold np another year, what with that bad leg, and POLLY AND HER PALS MICKEY MOUSE NL-V 300 MILES FROM HOME ON A lonelV ROAD, M1CKEV AND HORACE ARE OVERTAKEN BY PETE And sou inch in A 6 REEDIER CAR.' 1 " " "SY WHAT'S SHE NOTHIN !

Ray Lucas of Seattle and Bill Lu- dolph of the Oaks hitched np in a pitchers' duel here today, but the visiting Tribe managed .to bunch hits and an untimely error to score a 5 to 1 victory.

I had counted on George pretty much since he's from mv home town of Pasadena, but it looks now as though he would have a hard time gettine into the first in either the hundred or two hun dred meters." Although Paddock was the ex ception to the rule, he feels that the life of a sprinter Is shorter, competitively speaking, than any other athlete who takes part in track and field events.

It is proposed (1) to give the fans throughout the country a chance to vote on the selection of the two teams, as originally done and subsequently discarded; (2) allow for an off-day before the game, so that the rival pitchers will be in that much better shape to perform, regardless of their regular season assignments; and (3) set aside a percentage of the gate receipts, &y 110,000, to be ES BALL FLAIRS HARM WASHINGTON, July 9.-0P)-Most of the American league play ers who made the baseball jaunt to the orient last winter apparent ly left their "game" in Japan.

The all-star game Is strictly a charity affair now. As such, It has contributed close to $150, 000 in three years for benefit purposes. It is likely to be continued on the present basis, but as a pro fessional proposition many" base ball men think It would stimulate the game to offer something be sides prestige to the victors. The players themselves do not regard the contest with as much en thusiasm as the fans. They like to play and win but their motives are not exactly altruistic and their minds are chiefly concerned with regular jobs. They feel they are running risks, without getting anything out of it. First Baseman Lou Gehrig of the Yankees has improved after a slow start but still is in the worst batting slump of his career. Shortstop Eric McNair of the A's has been over the .300 mark only a few times this year. Out fielder Babe Ruth was uncondi tionally released by the Boston Braves and Outfielder Earl Aver ill of Cleveland hasn't found the hitting range. Catcher Frank Hayes was re leased by the A's. Pitcher Vernon Gomez of the Yankees is having a poor year. Pitcher Joe Cascarella was sent to the minors by the A's but was taken on by Boston. Earl Whitehill, the Washington south paw, has never found his best form. "Indian Giver" UBERN. GltyARE.NTT OU?) GWE HER A CUP OF HER ? OVOM MILK.. POOPW!

NEW YORK, July 9.-(P)-Max Baer has gone into port for re pairs. The former heavyweight cham pion of the world is going to Johns Honkins nosnital in TtnltJ. more Friday for treatment of his mjurea nands. "We've been told of so many ways to have them fixed up," said Ancil Hoffman, the fighter's manager, "that we've decided to go to Johns Hopkins. Some doc tors say to put them in a cast for 30 days and then they'll be all right, while others declare an operation is necessary. "Whatever the Baltimore doc tors tell us ought to be done will be done. We have a number of tempting offers for fights in the fall but I'm not going to con sider any of them seriously until Baer's hands are well again." Hoffman said he received a voo -'V ' ITS T-IO THEY'VE 60T MY PHOTO BY NOW AND SOMETHING TELLS ME I'M rONNA HEAR FROM THEM I CAN cablegram from Walter Rothen burg, German promoter, announc ing proposed arrangements for a Baer-Max Schmeling fight In Am sterdam, Holland, in September. R o t h e n burg guaranteed Baer 1100,000, Hoffman said. "It sounds good like all the others do but we'll have to see how Max's hands respond to treatment," Hoffman said. "Any way, Rothenburg will have to lay the money on the line before we'd budge from this country." Hoffman said he also has of fers for Baer to meet either Joe Louis, the Detroit negro, or Schmeling here fn the fall.
