Ohio State's redoubtable negro shattered Olympic records -most every time he made a move in the day-long competition in two events.

Twice before, under the Parker banner, edged out of a city cham pionship in the home stretch, the Atwater-Kent clab is having a bad case ot jitters according to soft ball gossip. ; i A loss by Atwater-Kent tonight would throw them into a tie with Hogg Bros.; apparently the only team that .has any chance to break through on top. The Man's Shop has been for midable but the odds will be with the undefeated A-K team as Vern Gilmore, Man's Shop pitcher, will be pitching his first league game in two weeks after recovering from an injured knee. Master ' Bread and the Paper Mill, tied up for the cellar, will vie in the Becond contest.

Aug. 4.-(!PV-Shattering or records con tinued today lnlhe fifty-sixth an nual national archery tournament, Gillman Ci Keasey, of Conrallis, Ore., defending Champion, made 134 hlts-and a point score ot 792, to shatter the record of 134-78 for a single york round, set by Russell - Hoogerhyde, of Grand Rapids, Ilch., in 1934, at Storrg, Conn. "i i Keasey outclassed the field of 87 men in tho york round as the target shooting events opened. His closest competitor was L.e Gam- ber. St. Louis, with 123-750. t f Afck have noticed that these contenders for Babe Ruth's old title of round trip ruler are all American Leaguers, and this is no accident. The swatters of the junior loop are running wild this season, what with a bounding jackrabbit for a ball and the poorest set of mound staffs in recent A. L. history. The National League's hitsmiths, who have the misfortune to hit against the slants of such super moundsmen as Dean, Hubbell, War BLV HAUSE-R,; Back In the dim, dead days beyond recall when Atwater Kent wasi not '- Atwater - Kent and, though not a rose either, ' " was just aa sweet by any 'other name, that team had a hard time winning championships. It was Parker's then and under that banner championships slip ped through the grasping fin gers of that" doughty team like) ice passing down the gullet of a fire-eater In the eircna.; Ev ery time they would get so near that they could hear the cheers and feel the rosy glow of bask ing In the! acclaim that is the due of champions. Every ; time something piappened. The some- thing was usually Tade's. ! f : Now Atwater-Kent, hee Par ker's, Is pretty close to a cham pionship of the city softball lea gue. There are ways to figure that some other team would win and, with certain; combinations of cir cumstances, another team still could , win. The odds are pretty high. Atwater-Kent hasn't much to worry about. Haven't they al ready the first half championship In the well known sack? Haven't they practically a first mortgage on the second half championship? If they haven't somebody has been tampering with our horoscope. - . :- . . - -i Yet, not iforgettin g past things, ; Atwater-Kent Is Jit tery. Too I many times things have slipped for the Singer boys and their cohorts la the final week or so. They don't . feel safe, even now with Walt's oat of the way. Jitters don't help any. That may bo their down fall. So far they haven't been beaten bat we don't believe that they're invincible. Parker's had a better team last year and they were beaten.

The regular wrestling fans al most got tha thrill ot their lives last night at tha weekly American Legion wrestling show, but "Cry Baby" London finally outlasted Jack Clayborna. to win the last two falls and tha match. It looked like Clayborna would - win with ease after taking the first fall in five' minutes with a pile driver hold. .However "Cry Baby" turned certain: defeat - into victory , by crushing tha negro with a back ward body slam for tha second falL The. third fall went to Lon don withi a aeries of ahln kicks and a Boston crab. As usual the crowd was all against London and pulling for Clayborne, the popular negroi Harry Elliott, the referee, also had his hands full with Lon don, as Elliott had beaten the "Cry Baby" the night before In Portland. . - The semi-windup waa a surprise to the fans. For 45 minutes Wal ter Achiu and "Whitey" Wahl berg wrestled. Wahlberg got the first fall In. 20 minutes with a hammerlock throw and an. Indian deathlock. Achiu got his fall In 20 minutes later with an Indian deathlock which mada Wahlberg give up. Tha remaining five min utes was fast, clean- wrestling with neither man abla to cash in. Wahlberg who is tha ' Pacific coast middleweight champion, lived up to his reputation and showed tha crowd some real wres tling. This match was such a con trast to tha regular rough and tumble affairs that., tha crowd greatly appreciated it. . . In tha opener Al Williams took two straight falls . from - Frank Kimball, a newcomer from Mon tana. In actual wrestling Kimball had the best of it but not in the payoff. Williams won the first fall with an Indian deathlock and the second with a Boston crab. Ia between falls Frank Kimball put on a muscular control exhi bition which had the crowd aghast. This was the same per formance that ha put on at the world's fair at Chicago in 1933.
