Lead in Olympic Tank Tests RECORD BREAKING Japan Has Three Finalists in Men's 400-Meter Free Style Race As Feature of Today's Olympic Program Britain's First 5j- By PAIL ZIMMEKMAN , AkMMhiled 1'rn.s snort Writer LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 10. (AP) Chances that the monotonous string of record breaking perform ances which marked the first four days of the tenth Olympiad might be broken, were allm today as the swim ming carnival passed the halfway mark. Every Olympic record approached bgy the wayfarers oil the waterways has been shattered, and the stern competition of the fifth day gave no Indication of a letup. Three world's ' records also have been left In the wake of the competitors. . Thrill In Feature Today Japan, with three finalists In the men's 400-meter free atjle race, the Chief event on today's program, as compared with one for the United States, apparently stood In a strate gic position to move into the mascu line team lead. Ihe Nipponese trailed by only four point after yesterday's great triumph in the 800-meter re lay. Takashl Tokoyama, who twice has broken the 400-meter mark In the oompeltlon, was favored over Jean Tarta, Prance; Andrew Charlton, Aus tralia, and Clarence crabbe, United States on the basis of his Olympic record of 4:91.4 set yesterday. Charlton and Crabbe consider the 1600-meter free style their best race, and Yokoyama beat Tarla yesterday. Jap Doubles Effort Not "content with swimming his second heat of the 400 meters In rec ord time, the Nipponese star swam anchor on the relay team which out 38.3 seconds off the 1038 Olympic record set by the United states. Yokoyama stood off Manuella Ka mi's late rush for the United States, to win by five meters In 8:64.4, with the Yankees second, some 36 seconds under the old record, and Hungary ttilrd, also bettering the old mark. Meanwhile the feminine star crack ed the world'a best marks. Eleanor Holm, American girl who gave the routes a fleeting fling, won her way to the ftnajs of the 100-meter back atroke by skimming by both the Olymplo and world's marks In 1:18.8. Anzaa Girl Stars Then Clare Dennis, a 14-jrear-old youngster from Australia, did what the strong men from down under had failed to do so far, when she won the 300-meter backstroke final to send the Anr.sc banner up Vie victory mast. But she did more than that. Miss Dennis reduced her own Olym plo record almost two seconds, and eclipsed the world's recognized mark In paddling the distance In 3:00.3. The United States was forced to be contented with fifth, sixth and seventh In the race. Water polo continued a thorn for the officials. After the Brazilian team had been disqualified for as saulting the referee, the American seven carried on hot verbal exchanges with A. DeLahaye yesterday In a wild game with Germany which ended In a 4-to-4 tie I GETS INVITATION PORTLAND, Aug. 10, (AP) Ralph Hill of Klamath Falli, Oregon's hero In the 5000-meter Olymplo race at Lo Angelas, wm today Invited to be a gusst of honor at the Paclilo International Uvea lock Exposition here October IB to 33.

Italy, team winner In 192B and strong favorite, for laurels In the present Olympiad, had victori ous candidates in tne flyweight, light weight and welterweight ranks. Ger many also had winners In each of these -event, while Americans had their hands raised In bouts In the flyweight, bantamweight and welter weight classes. The formidable contingent from Argentina fared badly In first bouts. Three of the South American stars were eliminated, Including Juan Tvlllo, flyweight, Gdunrdo Vargas, lightweight, and Luis Sard oil a, wel terweight.

OF FIRST DAYS (Ry Ihe Awwlnfed Pre) The St. Louis Cardinals. It would seem, finally have located the bat ting punch they mislaid at the close of the 1931 season. There have been many encouraging signs for Manager Gabby Street the last few days. In winning their last four games, one from the Olants and three from the Phillies, the Cardinals have banged out 70 hits good for 41 runs. Yesterday they walloped five Philly pitchers for 25 hits to gain an 18-13 victory and strengthen their hold on sixth place. The Chicago Cubs moved to wlth- lna half game of the National league lend by nipping the New York Giants. 43, with a two run rally In the ninth while the Pittsburg Pirates were submitting to their tenth con secutive defeat, a 4-0 shutout plas tered on them by Huck Betts and the Boston Braves.

Including five doubles, a triple and two home runs, and won both ends of a double-header. fi-3 and 9-7. SEALS CHALK HP 23 TO 1 (Ry the Associated Press) I San Francisco's Seals demonstrated the old saying, "the bigger they are the harder they fall," by taking the league leading Beavers to a 23 to 1 cleaning Tuesday. The 1 Seals confined their scoring to four In nings, but hammered two pitchers for 26 hits. They hopped on Han McDonald for five runs In the sec ond, which finished him. Jacobs went the rest of the way under heavy fire. Bill Henderson pitched the whole game for Ban Francisco, allowing only six hits. While Portland was losing, Holly wood was winning, which put the Stars three games behind the lead ers. The - southerners beat Seattle, 3 to 1, as Prank Shellenback bested John "Junk" Walters In a pitching duel. Both were good, however, Shel lenback allowing the Indlnns five hits while his team .mates collected six from Walters. Los Angeles also gained a game In the standings by beating the Oaks, 5 to 3.

Aug. 10 (AP) Charles Mitdlnon. of Seattle, father of Helens Madison, the swimming star, said today that aftur his dau ghter had completed her Olympic games competition she would retire from racing. "She's fed up herseir with all of It.1 he said. "I don't think she has the same seat for racing that she used to have. She's hit her peak. She's won her records, won all the records, practically, and now It's time she did something else." What el sr? Well. Mr. Madison said, there's time enough for that after the games." Mr. Madison said his daughter's competition had been expensive to him. 'Yea." he Ridded, "this ama teur swimming Is quite a business. I'd like to see her get something out of It." PEARS WANTED!

The .local started hos tilities early in the game with a two run lead which looked good until Hughes weakened and errors gave the Israelites thetr cuance. Bud Conlln went in the box In the fifth stanza and his left-handed shoots kept the visitors under con trol for the balance of the fray. The locals anexed two tallies In the fourth and three In the sixth, the latter counters coming In when Tule Wil liams scratched out a single which, through a comedy of errors on the part of the churchmen, went for a home-run, the Medfordltes scoring ahead of him. Although the final figures hold no balm for the Hoffardltes, the fact that the Invaders were held to only three runs aside from the disastrous fourth frame, gives the Merchants considerable optimism regarding the prospects for their revamped lineup. The Medford lineup Included Con lln, Butler, Hoffard, Montgomery. Coleman. Force, Swanson, Williams, Hughes and Kanastro. The House of David batting order was Lawrence, Savage, Tucker, Powell, Fleming. Tally. Atwell, Mccafferty and Bass. I Southern Oregon admirers of Jack Dempsey may have an opportunity to see the old "Manassa Mauler' In ac tion, according to word from -Herb Owen, former Medford fight promoter, who now has the ring concession in Klamath Falls. Owen Is negotiating with Leonard Sachs, the ex-cham- plon'a manager, for appearance of Dempsey In Klamath Falls, August 33 or 30. Last year Owen promoted a match between Dempsey and Jimmy Byrne In Eugene, which proved highly suc cessful from a box-office standpoint, though the former champ would have relished a little lees prowess on the part of his opponent. Due to Owen's effort In the Eugene match, it Is understood he has the edge on other Oregon promoters, and in fact has a promise from Sachs that if Jack fights in the state, outside of Port land, it will be under Owen's pro motion. According to report, Mack Llllard. Medford promoter, has attempted to land a bout for this city between Dempsey and some goods heavy, but does not see his way clear to meet the ante required by Dempsey' manager.
