Just 10 years ago, in a similar meet In Spokane and it drew over 8000 fans, incidentally both Jim Tyack, then with Bellingham, and Marty Martinez of the Spokes, later to be. with Portland Beav ers before being killed in the war, toured the bases in :14 flat. Tyack had done a terrific :10.3 in the century before that. In case you're interested, the "world record" for circling the bases by a ballolayer is :13.6. Stan Hack, late of the Chicago Cubs and now managing their Class A Western league Jclub at Des Moines, did a :13.6 a few years back In a field meet at Chicago. The rec ord for a straight century Is :10 flat. Snd this is all the more Impressive when you consider that the sprinters are attired in bulky baseball suits and shoes, and must run on grass.

LONDON, Aug. 10-(;p)-Ameri ca's sprint relay team and lit ! tie Barney Ewell I won eom- j. ( plete vindication today, when an uiymmc Jury, of aopeal decided Unanimously that they won Sat urday's 400-meter-final fair and square. After viewing still nd motion pictures of the disputed race, the international body said was "satisfied" that an error i had been made in calling a foul on Ewell, the first American run iner. It ordered that! the Amer i ican team be credited with - the victory, with Britain j second and Italy third. j j" , In sustaining a vigorous pro test lodged by Coach Dean Crom well immediately after the race was run before 84.000 spectators, the Jury found that Ewell had passed the baton to Lorenzo Wright, second American j runner, well within the 20-meter change over zone. Ewell, 30-year-old veteran from Lancaster, Pa., has been deny ing bitterly for three days that he delayed too long in passing The little negro was at not getting the gold medal he had I iSZiT Olympic i . , . . He; t The American team with Har rison Dillard running a sensa tional third lap and Mel Patton finishing strongly, hit the tape seven or eight yards ahead of the British. The great crowd was stunned when, some 15 minutes later, the Union Jack was hauled up the Olympic flag pole. Shortly after the reversal was announced today, the press was given a special showing of the film. The verdict was virtually unanimous that Ewell had let gd of the baton like it was a hot brick at least a full stride before he hit the line marking the end of the change-over. The reversal gave the American track and field forces their 11th championship, compared to five won by 4he second place Swedish team. In - a day almost entirely de voted to preliminary rounds the United States forces made a re srjectable showing in the minor sports. The sabre team advanced to the semifinal round of the team championships by defeating first Greece. 14 to 2. and then Great Britain, 11 to S. Ed Johnson. 20-year-old air force private, was the innocent cause of an incident in the box ing matches that far outshone the day's results. When the ring fudges rated Johnson above his opponent, Basilio Alves of T7ru- in a featherweight Doul manv of the spectators staged a fight of their own to show their - ... displeasure. Others tried to at tack the judges. It iwas 20 min utes before guards, could restore order. In addition to Johnson, whose home is in Kansas City, flyweight Frankie Sodano of Philadelphia; Wallace Smith, Cincinnati light- Lweisht: and Charlie Speizer, 18 year-old Detroit light Heavy weight, also advanced to third rounds. the Walling Team Upset Victim The previously undefeated Walling Sand and Gravels suf fered their first setback in Class C Salem Junior baseball league play last night atj Olinger field when the Four Corners team reg istered a 4-3 win. J. Brown's tri ple, a walk and an error in the final inning gave i the .winners their two necessary runs. Hunt had a triDle for the losers. In the other league game at Leslie the Truax Oilers of Keizer blanked the Midget Markets, 1-0, on Shannon's two-hit pitching. Smith scored the only run.
