NEW SWIM RECORD
MADE BY GERMAN
Leipzig, Germany A new
women's world's record for the 500
meter breast stroke swim was
claimed for Herta Wunder, when
she covered the distance In elKht
minutes, 32 seconds Friday. The
former record, according to author
ities here, was 8:33 2-10.
The A. A. U. athletic almanac
lists no world's 500 meter breast
stroke record for women nor does
It recofmize any American record
for that distance in the breast
stroke style.
The fact that the Beverly Coun
try club of Chicago, where the ap
proaching national amateur golf
championship is to be held, includes
five holes rnted as par three should
not incline the prospective compet
itor toward a conviction that the
short player Is getting a "good
break."
While, on the other hand, the
ml lateral circumstances that of the
four holes rated as par five not
one can be reached with the sec
ond shot, does not mean that the
long hitter who usually counts on
birdie fours as a great help in time
of stress is going to be unduly
discriminated against.
The Ileverly layout will offer the
rontestants and the galleries some
thing rather different In the way or
rhampionship tests. I think It will
be Interesting perhnps acutely to.

The football depression, such as
it Is, hasn't been felt by St. Mary's,
the big little college founded in
San Francisco in 1863, transferred
to Oakland In 1889 and now located
prosperously In the Moraga Valley,
Contra Costa county, Cal., about
15 miles from Oakland.
St. Mary's has grown from a stu
dent body of only 62 In 1921 to an
enrollment of 800 for 1931. It has
developed correspondingly on the
gridiron In ten years of coaching
by Edward Patrick tSllp) Madlgan,
alumnus of Notre Dame. It has
turned out all -American stars, major
league ball players. It showed a big
ger Increase In football profits last
fall than any other university In
the far west.
There arc a lot of other Interest

which are easy to obtain, but it will
545 yards, are going to require at
least three strokes before the put
ting begins; and this circumstance,
in a way, favors the accurate short
player at the expense of the ex
tremely long hitter, who won't be
home with his second and may be
in trouble with it.
The second hole Is 545 yard.;; the
seventh 558; the eleventh 590 and
the eighteenth Is a fine flnlslier, of
572, a slight dogleg, with two real
ly big wood shots needed to gain
a favoraWc pitching point to the
small and ws.l guarded green.
ON'LY ONE TI'SIIOVEH
As for the five one-shot holes,
nlways a distinctive feature of any
course, the spade and mashtc nib
lick experts will find only one that
resembles a set-up for tlielr dia
bolical art No. 12, a pltvh of 110
yards over water to a small green.
The mashle nlbllc artists had better
make the most of this one. because
the other one -shot ters are as fol
lows: No. 3 A good bong with a spoon.
228 yards to a rather tightly trap
ped surface.
No. 6 The green Is an Is' and
surrounded by sand, and the shot
is of 187 yards.
No. 10 A good crack of 173 yards
with a No. 3 Iron, or 4 Iron for the
powerful.
No. 17 A good, big poke of 200
yards Is needed here. Not many
deuces are recorded, by the way.
So this course, with five par
three holes, four par five holes and
the rest par fours, allows a card of
36-3671, and I have a sneaking
suspicion that the 36 -hole medal
tent Is likely to be accomplished
without anybody lowering the pres
ent record of 142, held Jointly by
the retired champion. Bobby Jones,

WELCH GETS POST
Football coaching ranks have re
cruited another all-American per
former in Gilbert (Gibby) Welch,
who won all-star recognition as a
halfback with the University of
Pittsburgh in 1927.
Welch Is the new head coach at
Morris Harvey college, Barbours
ville. W. Va. A West Virginia boy.
Gibby has been welcomed to his first
coaching post; given a squad of
60 men and a slate of 10 games,
seven of which will be played at
night In Huntington.
His knowledge of the Warner sys
tem as well as his experience on
the professional gridirons should
equip Welch for a good getaway.
ANY GOOD AT CROQUET?
West Virginia Wesleyan's chief
offering for the gridiron spotlight
this season will be Clifford Gib
Battles, the halfback who ran wild
last year over a considerable num
ber of ten yard stripes. In fact,
Battles reeled off more long gallops
for touchdowns than any other play
er in the country, so for as records
reveal, and was rewarded with hon
orable mention In the Associated
Press All-American consensus of
1930.
From Robert H. Her7er of Wes
leyan I have these further details
on the prowess of young Mr. Battles:
"He is 6 feet 2, weighs 195 pounds
and punts, posses and directs the
team. He Is In my estimation the
greatest all-around athlete West
Virginia Wesleyan ever has had and
will no doubt have a blp year this
fall. He has twice been captain of
the basketball team, played on the
undefeated baseball nine at first
base, was No. 1 man on the varsity
tennis team and ran the 440, did the
hurdles, the high jump and brond
jump In track. In addition he Is In
structor In golf and swimming."
All of which will do, as they say.
until Wesleyan takes up the sport
of rowing.

BRANDT PITCHES
1 6TH WIN FOR
BOSTON BRAVES
'Br the Auoctftted Prut)
Ed Brandt, who has been pitching
for the Boston Braves for several
seasons without even threatening
the .500 mark In the averages, not
only has surpassed all his own hurl
ing marks this year but has made
himself one of the best southpaws
in the National league.
Brandt turned in his 16th victory
of the year Thursday when the!
Braves downed the Pittsburgh PI-!
rates 2 to 1 in the ten-inning first j
game of a double header. He has lost
eight contests, giving him an aver
age of .667, which only Bill Walker
of New York has beaten among the
leagues left handers. A year ago
Brandt could win only four games
out of 22. Now he has more games
in the "won' column than any rival
in the league.
Despite Brandt's victory, the
Braves could not gain in their strug
gle with Pittsburgh for fifth place.
The Pirate. come back strong
against Bill Sherdel In the second
game and won 5 to 4 as Pie Trainor
drove in three runs.
What gaining was done In the
National league Thursday went to
the credit of the New York Giants.
Some timely hitting behind Carl
Hubbell, with Fred Leach's homer as
n climax, gave New York a 3 to 1
victory over Larry Benton and the
Cincinnati Reds. This triumph put
the Giants a full game ahead of
the defeated Chicago Cubs and 86
games behind the league leading St.
Louis Cardinals, who were rained
out in Philadelphia.
The Cubs could make no headway
against Watson Clark of Brooklyn
until the ninth Inning and by that
time, Brooklyn had come through
with an eighth Inning rally against
Charley Root that netted them four
runs and a 4 to 1 victory. Jack
Quinn relieved Clark with the bases
full In the ninth and checked a Chi
cago rally. The Cubs got only four
hits.
Heavy hitting asain played the
big part in the American league pro
gram and with It came the broken
record that has become almost a
dally occurrence In the junior circuit.
fearl Averlll, Cleveland slugger,
crashed his 27th home run of the
year as the Indians made It three
straight over Washington's second
place Senators by a 10 to 8 count.
The homer broke the Cleveland rec
ord set last year by Eddie Morgan,
who also clouted a four bagger
Thursday as one of the 17 hits off
Marbcrry and Fischer.
This defeat, the fourth In succes
sion, left Washington only 3'i
games ahead of the New York Yan
kees, who used the home run route
to a 7-3 victory over St. Louis. Lou
Joe Sewell hit for the circuit, and
Gehrig hit his 33rd of the year, then
finally Babe Ruth crashed out his
34th four bagger with the bases full
In the ninth Inning to provide the
winning margin. Vernon Gomes
gave the Browns only one hit In
eight innings then weakened with
the first Yankee shutout of the year
in sight.
The Chicago White Sox won their
third game in 17 starts against the
Philadelphia Athletics by pounding
Walte Hoyt and Eddie Rommel for
19 hits. The final count was U to 6

ing the Sox another tie for sixth

In day baseball those my
sterious battery signals which

Elaborate steps were taken
to conceal them. The catcher
hid his hand between his legs
and under his mit, making
the signal visible only to the
pitcher and the infield.
But In night baseball they
cannot easily be read in the
