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.

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.

SEWELL'S ARM BURNS
FIRST SUCKER'S in
NEW YORK (AP) Little Joey
Sewell has been playing a bang-up
game at third base for the New York
Yankees this season, but at times
he seems no bargain to Lou Gehrig,
burly first baseman.
"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."

When he discovered the ball In
the cup after his tee shot, Brock
man became so excited he turned
backward somersault, injuring his
shoulder.

Weeks of outer argument over

maneuvers such aa marked their last
match, will be settled tonight at the 1

In addition to the heat worked up

the unsatisfactory ending of their

out at the opening of the fourth
round and laid McCarthy low before
the tinkle of the gong had died away,

O'Grady, who writes Llllard from
Salinas, Cal., says he now weighs 192
pounds and Is in the best shape of
his career. His last two fights have
been won by technical knockouts, he
declares, and he would like to fight
here to prove to his old friends and
admirers that the report he Is "all

Playing the ball Brooklyn's tana
expected of them at the atart of the
season, Max Carey's Brooklyn Dodg
ers are soaring toward a first division
berth In the National league's pen
nam fight.
Victors In nine of 'their last 11
games, the Dodgers were In fifth
place today, only a game and a half
behind the fourth place Boston
Braves.
Their latest triumph a 4-2 verdict
over the Chicago Cubs waa gnlned
the expense of the sensational
rookie right-hander, Lon Warneke. It
was Warneke'a fifth defeat against 1
victories. Three of his losses have
been credited to Brooklyn.
Cracks In Klghth.
Warneke held a 2-1 lead going Into
the last half of the eighth after a
great duel with Freddy Helmach, but
the Dodgers got to him for three
runs and the ball game. Johnny
Frederick's pinch double drove In
the winning runs.
The Cubs lost no ground In the
pennnpt chase, however, for the lea-gue-leading
Pittsburgh Pirates ac
cepted their fourth straight defeat at
Philadelphia, 11-0, as Chuck Klein
cracked hla 31st homer of the year.
The Phillies now trail Chicago by
only one game and Pittsburgh by
six.
Boston rallied for one run In the
ninth off Dlrsy Dean, to turn back
the St. Louis Cardinals, Rae, while
Waite Hoyt scattered 11 hits to give
the New York Cilants a 8-2 decision
over the Cincinnati Reds.

In the American league, Washing

4-1, behind Alvln Crowder's six-hit
pitching. Young Bill Chamberlain
made his debut for the White Sox
and allowed the Senators only five
hits, but his teammates' three errors
