CINDER PATH FOR !K 1:49.8 Long Tom Hampson's Per formance Feature Third , Day Klamath Runner Is "' First in 5000-Meter Trial Br Alan Gould, (Associated Press 8porta Editor.) LOS ANOELE3. Aug. 3. WP) World athletic have not only "turn ed the corner'! but galloped In full cry down the middle of the road on the basis of today's evidence that the greatest Olympic boom In history la now assured. Within only three days nearly -00.-000 spectators have paid to see the assorted thrills of this International sports carnival. Of these, 155.000 have witnessed the track and field events alone In the Olympic stadium, where an additional 105,000 looked at the formal opening ceremonies. Pour .years ago It took eight days at Am sterdam to attract as many as 130,090 customers Into trii main stadium. Eleven New Records. With only three of the eight days of track and field competition so tar . completed today being the fourth new Olympic records have been set In 11 out of 15 events, four of which have not yet been completed. In the full eight days of activity In 1928, exactly a dozen Olympic recorda were broken. It's one of those things you hesi tate to believe unless you see It, and . even then you may look around for the "catch." World and Olympic rec ords have been kicked around In the stadium for three days with such complete abandon that It's "news" when someone falls to beat the best on the books. It may be the track, the climate, the competition, or a combination of all three. Meanwhile the eastern "old guard" of America, long famous for It skepticism of "Paclflo coast standard Mme," has run to cover. Eastman Not Missed. Americans no doubt would have liked to have had big Ben Eastman In his best event, the 800 meters, when the Olympic finalists toed the mark for yesterday's dramatlo final, but It Is doubtful whether the Stan ford star at his peak could have beaten Long Tom Hampson, the Brlt ; Ish school teacher, who roared down ' the stretch to a new world record of 149.8 and a two-foot victory over gallant Alex Wilson of Canada and Notre Dame. Hampson's marvelous performance, the feature of the third day's track whirl, kept Britain's Union Jack fly ing highest In this middle distance classic, dominated In the past two Olympics by the famous Douglas Lowe. They knew - beforehand that Hampson was good, undoubtedly the best of the half-mllers, minus East man, but no one had any Idea he would make a. "show" of Sera Mar tin's world mark of 1:50.6, Eastman's unofficial record of 1:50, as well as lop two full seconds off Lowe's Olympic standard. Race of Lifetime. It was one of those races of a life time, as thrilling even if not quite as close as Eddie Tolan's two-inch mar gin over Ralph Metcalfe In the 100 meter final. Hampson ran a "perfect race," timing his "kick" so beautl i, fully that he Just had enough left to overhaul and beat Wilson, then col lapse exhausted rn the turf. It was 1-2-3 lor the British Em pire, with Phil Edwards of Capeda third, and 4-5-8 for the United States as Eddie Oenung, Ned Turner and Charles Hornbostel, In that order, completde the half-dozen In the scor ing. Oregon Boy Wins Trial. Ralph Hill, the Oregon boy, stamp ed himself a real threat In the 5000 meters by running away from Laurl Lehtlnen, young Finnish favorite, In the trials. Hill's time of 14:59.8 was not so Impressive as the way he out 'sprlnted Lehtlnen after the Finn challenged on the last lap. All three Americans, Including Dan Dean and Paul Rekers. kuallfled for the 6000 meters final, scheduled Friday. The Olympic track and field team championship, meanwhile. Is virtual. ly a,l over but the shouting. The United States, with eight events con' oiuded, has 81 points. Ireland Is next t with 20, while Canada has 19, Pin land 16, Great Britain 13, Poland and Germany 10 each, Sweden 8 and Ja pan 7. Today's events figured to shoot the Yankee total well beyond the 100 mark. MAY DON GLOVES i BOSTON. Aug. 3. (JP) Arthur frhe great) Shires appeared to be riding the sluiceway of basnball today, but whether the belligerent "bad boy" of the majors would plop Into the mln- j ora or Into the prize ring was a mat ter for conjecture. . ! Shires was fired by Manager Bill McKechnle of the Boston Braves yea- ; terday, but final decision on his lm- ; mediate future was delayed until to-; day. I i Shires got fired when he wrath fully objected to the manager's plin to trade him Into the minors whence he came.

HORNSBY GIVEN GATE BY CHICAGO CUBS PRESIDENT BT WILLIAM WEEKES. (AMOclated Frw Sports Writer) CHICAGO, Aug. S. (A!') Baseball's most famona nomad, Roger Hornsby, nas on hta way again today deposed at manager of the Chicago Cubs. The announcement of Hornsby 's dismissal came suddenly last nljrht, leaving the 'baseball world agog as much agog as when John Mcdraw, without warning, quit as manager of the New York Giants last June. In making his announcement, W1U Ham L. Veeck, president of the club, said: "It waa to the best Interest of the club that Hornsby retire at this time." Not only Is the Rajah, probably the stormiest figure In modern National league history, all done as manager of the club the third to be placed in his charge but he la no longer a member of the club, having also been released as a player. Hornsby, manager of the Cubs since the last four days of the 1930 season, when he replaced Joe Mc Carthy, will be succeeded by Charlie Grimm, first baseman tor the club since 1925. He also has been team captain. Hornsby'a only comment before leaving the club at Philadelphia for his home at Robertson, Mo., that Veeck had wanted to make the move and "It's perfectly all right with me." His salary, said to be $40,000 annually, will be paid to the end of his contract, which expires De cember 31, 1932, Almost rom the time when he broke In with the St. Louis Cardinals In 1915, Hornsby's major league ca reer was a succession of sensational Incidents. His bow In major league baseball was Inauspicious, but In 1020 he started on a six-year batting rampage that notched him as one of the game's greatest right-handed batsmen. Three times during the period he compiled averages of better than .400, and In 1924 he set a standard in hitting, .424, that has not been equalled. He became manager of the Cardinals for the 1926 season, and playing second base, led the club to Its first National league title. Olympic Finals Of Yesterday Tuesday's Track and Field Results.

"Sewell," Gehrig says, "throws the 'heaviest' ball of any of the Yankees. Sometimes It almost tears my hands off." Gehrig, however, likes a "heavy" ball for pick-ups. "It bounds stralghter than one that settles lightly." HOLE IN ONE DANGER FAYETTE, Mo. (AP) W. L, Brockman can't take his holes-ln-one or leave them alone.

In addition to the heat worked up between the main eventero through the unsatisfactory ending of their bout July 20, when Lomskl rushed out at the opening of the fourth round and laid McCarthy low before the tinkle of the gong had died away, there la an added incentive in to night's brawl, aa challenges .have been received from Qene O'Grady, erst while pride of Ashland; Young Flrpo, ex-Idaho miner: Jimmy Byrne, Marsh field 's hard rock, and FritR Tol- man, Rocky Mountain title claimant.

In addition to the main event to night, each of the remaining three bouts carries special interest.
