Tolan Wins by Two Inches
Over Metcalfe in 100
Meters Record Breaking
Starts Early in Games
Br Alan Gould,
- (Associated Press Sports Editor.)
LOS ANGELES, Aug. S.yp) On
the crest of a record-breaking wave
unparalleled In world athletic eom-
petition, America moved awlftly to
day Into a commanding position In
the Olympic track and field cham
pionships, aa a result of the most
amaahlng victory for the natlon'a
aprlntera In eight years.
The first brilliant chapter of the
United fltatea' comeback In the realm
. of human apeed was completed yes
terday when two black thunderbolts
. blazed down the Olympic cinder
path, ao close together at the finish
that only the motion plcturea finally
could establish that Eddie Tolan of
Detroit beat Ralph Metcalfe of Mar
quette by two Inches In the world
record equalling time of 10.3 ecc-
onds, for the Olympic 100-meter
, championship.
Ovation for Negro Pair. .
Not since Jackson flcholtz shaded
Charley Paddock In the Olympic 200-
meter final of 1024, has there been
ao dazzllngly close a sprint finish In
these International games.. Not since
then, either, has America known
what It meant to acclaim an Olympic
dash winner, and a crowd of 60,000
In the mammoth Olympic stadium
yesterday gave the two negro boya a
remarkable ovation.
Without single day of rest, Tolan
and Metcalfe, along with their two
closest rivals, Arthur Jonath of Ger
many and George Simpson, third
American sprinter, were primed to re
new the speed battle today in the
first two rounds of 200-meter trials.
The continuation of the speed
whirl ahared the third day's track pro
gram Interest with the 800-meter
final, in which the new British
champion, Long Tom Hampson, faced
the challenge of three Americans,
Zddle Genung, Charles Hornbostel
and Ned Turner, among others.
Irishmen Crowned,
Meanwhile this dazzling Olympic
ahow featured the crowning of, two
sturdy Irlah champions, burly Pat
rick O'Oallaghan In the hammer
throw, for the second straight Olym
piad, and slim Robert Morton Tisdall
in the 400-meter hurdles: a fresh
deluge of records, making It certain
the Olymplo book of standards will
be revised from top to bottom; and
definite assurance that all attend
ance marks for Olympic track and
field sports will be wiped out com
pletely. A born showman, O'Oallaghan gave
Monday's crowd a dramatic moment
by getting off his winning hammer
throw, measuring 178 feet 1114 Inches,
on hie very last whirl In the aeven
Xoot, screen-bordered circle.
The new 400-moter hurdle cham
pion, Tisdall, won his first Olympic
gold medal but lost a world record
because he tripped over hla last bar
rier. Tisdall was clocked In 01.8 sec
onds, beating Morgan Taylor's world
track mark of 02 aeconds flat, but
disallowance of the record for knock
ing over one hurdle wna automatic.
Hardin F.nunli Itrcorri.
Thle gave Glenn Hardin, American
boy, the distinction of moving into
world record company, despite being
beaten. Hardin finished second In
62 second, and thla waa accepted aa
equalling Taylor'a mark. Taylor was
third and the defending chamnlon
Lord David Burghley of England,
xourtn.
The paid attendance ao far for two
two days of sparkling competition In
the atadium has approximated 110 .
000, officials eald, thereby making it
certain tne tenth Olympic gamea will
pass the previous record of 130,262
paid, for the entire eight days of
track and field sp;ria at Amsterdam,
four years ago, although the stadium
has been only about half full the
post two days, since It was packed

CARDS' PLAY BOY
Flint Rhem Now Consistent
Winner Under New Sur
roundingsWins Eight in
Ten Starts for Shotton
By Herbert W. Barker,
(Associated Press Sports Writer.)

ner for Burt Shotton's flailing
Phllllw. .
The righthander whose disregard
of training rules and ineffective

has rolled up a string of eight vic
tories against only two defeats since
he Joined the Phillies early In the
campaign. For the Cardinals he had
won four gamea and lost two.
Aids Third Victory.
Rhem's pitching was responsible In
no small measure for the Phillies'
third straight victory over the league-leading
Pittsburgh Plratea yes
terday, 18-S. It was significant that
Rhem blanked the Plratea until his
teammates had piled up a 0-0 lead
tor him. The Phillies flogged four
Pirate hurlors for 23 hits to pile up
their one-sided triumph, their tenth
In 14 gamea with the league leaders
this aeason.
Tex Carleton pitched the Cardlnale
to a 4-2 victory over the Boston
Braves In the only other game on
the National league program.
The New York -Yankeea and Phlla.
delphla Athletics were the day'a win-
ners In the abbreviated American
league program.
Yanks Down Tigers.
The Yankees tripped Detroit, 6-3,
as Danny MaoFayden kept '11 Tiger
hits well scattered.
Rube Walberg, had a alight edge
on Wea Ferrell as the Athletics nosed
out the Cleveland Indians, 1-0. Fer
rell allowed only two hits until the
ninth when singles by Cochrane,
Foxx and MoNalr scored the only run
of the battle. Walberg waa reached

' WHEN TO BIO H1GU OB NOT

1 By Tom O'Neil
Original bids of two under most
systems are made on handa of great
strength. Such an offering on one
suit of 'exceptional length and noth
ing much else Is deceiving.
With such a band it would be far
better to pre-empt with a bid of four
In a- major or five In a minor than
to bid two. A pre-emptive bid often
will shut out opponents when they
.have possibilities of game or a part
acore.
On the other hand, an original bid
of one and a game-demand bid of
two will certainly cause partner to
count on high-card atrength that the
hand of the original bidder lacka and
trouble will ensue.
Here la a hand from a game In

West led the ace of diamonds,
which waa trumped by south. The
nine of spades went to east's queen,
and east returned a diamond, south
again trumping. South then led a
club, which west's lone king took.
South then lost another spade and
another club, being set one doubled,
not-vulnerable.
If west had bid four spades origi
nally the chances are that west
would not have doubled and north
certainly should not have bid. But
with souths' original bid of two north
very properly assumed that south
had plenty of high honors. It was
his duty to show the heart suit, and
Indeed rebld .hearts if necessary.
A ons -spade bid originally by
south likewise would have warranted
north In bidding and re bidding
hearts or jumping to four hearts Im
mediately. As a defensive measure the result
to north and south as actually
played, or If four spades had been
bid originally, was worth while, since
east and west could have made a

Indeed, they could have dade gam In

being led.
