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

Leather-gloved warriors seeking Olym
plo boxing crowns awunjr Into the
second day of . preliminaries today
with the United States, Italy and
Germany sharing honors In the open
ing drive for the team championship.
Each of these nations scored clean
sweeps In fights yesterday, and last
night aaw 19 aspirants swept Into
the discard. 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.
Eddie Plynn of New Orleans, Uncle
Sam's hope In the 147-pound group,
outpointed the Argentine, Sardella,
after a close bout. Louis Sallca. of
Brooklyn, and Joe Lang of San Fran
cisco, were the other American win
ners, Sallca defeating John CAllura
of Canada in a 1 la-pound bout, and
Lang winning from Snblno Tlrado,
Mexican bantamweight.
While the first day's bout were
devoid of any thrills In the way or
knockouts, the closing contest of the
night saw Alberto Romero of Mexico
lose on a foul In the third round to
David McC leave, English welterweight,
The boy from Great Britain had to
be carried to his dressing room.
OF FIRST DAYS
(Ry Ihe Awwlnfed Pre)
The St. Louis Cardinals. It would
seem, finally have located the bat

lna half game of the National league
lend by nipping the New York Giants.

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.
Harvey Hendricks clouted a double
and three singles as Cincinnati trip
ped Brooklyn. 9-8 In 10 innings.
The New York Yankees added an
other half game to their American
league lead, beating the St. Louis

der In the ninth and put down an
Indian rally.

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. The Angels clinched the game
In the third Inning by making three
runs from four hits, after Oakland
had scored twice in the first frame.
A two-run rally In the ninth in
ning, spelled victory for Sacramento
over the Missions, 3 to 3. Jimmy
De Shong, pitching for the Sacs,
struck out 1 1 men and held the
Reds to .three hits.

ghter had completed her Olympic
games competition she would retire

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.

10 BEARDED F
AFTER BAD INNING
Pouncing on Ja;k Hughes' offer
ings for eight runs in the fourth in
ning, the bearded base bailers of the
House of David handed Hoosler Hof
fard's Medford Merchants a 11 to 7
lacing yesterday on the fairgrounds
diamond before a fair-sized gathering
of valley fans. 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.

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.
