OLYMPIC STADIUM, Loa Angeles,
Aug. 11. (AP) Lenore Knight, Unit
ed States, added another Olympic
record to the list today when she
won the third heat of the 400-moter
free style for women In 6 minutes,
40.0 seconds. Eight thousand people
were on hand to see the morning
races.
Previously, Helene Madison had
navigated the distance In 5 minutes,
44.5 seconds, which was announced
as a new Olympic mark, but ' offi
cials who made the announcement
that the Seattle mermaid had set a
new record later rectified the mis
take. The old record of 6 minutes,
42.8 seconds, was set at Amsterdam
by Martha N ore 11 us, U. S. A., in 1928.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11. 0?)
With one championship to his credit,
Slarenoe (Buster) Crabbe, who mo
mentarily baited Japan's swimming
Invasion, today started out on nls
campaign for another title of the
tenth Olympiad.
The former U. of Southern Callfor
nlan, who staged a stirring finish to
beat Jean Tarls, France, by six Inches
In the 400-meter free style final yes
terday, was scheduled to start In his
first heat of the 1500-meter prelim
inaries today.
Complete Surprise.
Hie victory In the 400-meter event
was a complete surprise. Japan, on
the basis of its showing In prelimin
ary heats, had been favored to win,
what with three men In the finals.
Instead, Crabbe and Tarls staged such
a brisk race that the Nipponese had
to be content with third, fourth and
fifth.
Crabbe, who got most of his aquatic
education on the Hawaiian Islands,
set a new Olympic record of 4 min
utes 48 4 seconds., and bettered Arne
Borg's record In his triumph, but
while he was splashing to a win, the
International Swimming federation
was accepting various and sundry
world's records, Including Tarls time
of 4:47 for the distance, taking this
Ibonor from the victor.
V. 8. Holds Lead.
Crabbe 'a win saved for the United
States the men's team lead with the
total standing at 42 against 37 for
the Nipponese. The women's team
lead was Increased to 39 against 12
for Australia, when Uncle Sams' three
feminine springboard experts swept
the first three places.
In doing so they duplicated the
performance of the men'a springboard
trio composed of Mickey Riley Gallt
wn, Harold Smith and Richard Dene
ger, several days ago.
Georgia Coleman, Los Angeles;
Katharine Rawls, Miami Beach, Fla.,
and Jane Fauntz, Chicago, took the
first three places, In the order nam
ed, but only after Miss Coleman and
Miss Fauntz had been requested to
put on suits with less exposure of
the spine.
Helene Favored.
Just how far Crabbe might go 'n
the 1500-meter race is a question.
ne of his chief opponents, Kl ta
rn ura, 14-year-old Japanese boy, did
not participate in the 400-meter
event, which undoubtedly took some
thing out of the champion. Andrew
(Boy) Charlton, Australia, and Tarls,
also figured to be dangerous.
Helene Madison, with one victory
to her credit so far, entered Into the
preliminaries of the 400-meter free
style for women as the favorite, while
Elinor Holm, who bettered the world's
record in the 100-meter backstroke
preliminaries, with a mark of 1:18.3.
waa favored to capture the finals of
this event.

SEATTLE, Aug. 11. (AP) The
national publicity director of1 the
Women's Christian Temperance un
ion. Earl Godwin of Eva niton. 111.,
said here today that Senator Wil
liam E. Borah of Idaho had pre
dicted to him that both the Re
publican and Democratic platforms
will be scrapped by October 15 and
the campaign fought to a finish
along other lines.
Godwin, here for the national
convention of the W. C. T. U.t said
the senator's statement was made
on the train while the two were
en route west from Minnesota. Sena
tor Borah left the train last night
to make a trip through northern
Idaho before returning to Boise.
During conversations with the
Idahoan, Godwin said he formed
conclusions the senator has little
use for the Republican prohibition
and economic platform planks, and
no use at all for the Democratic
pronouncements; that he will not
support the president as things now
stand, but has not closed the door
against supporting him later, and
that the senator favors a third na
tional party, but believes the time
past for forming one this year.
MAY IRK LATE
PORTLAAND. Ore.. Aug. 11. (yF)
Circuit Judge Hewitt ruled today that
the order of the state welfare com
mission providing that women shall
not be employed in mercantile es
tablishment In Portland after the
hour of 6 p. m., except In confec
tioner lee or cigar standa in hotels, is
discriminatory and therefore void.
The decision was given In the suit
brought by Fred Meyer, Inc., to re
strain the welfare commission and
the state labor commissioners from
enforcing the order. Judge Hewitt
overruled the demurrer of the de
fendant to the amended complaint.
Defendants are members of the wel
fare commission and the state labor
commissioner.
The order which Judge Hewitt Mid
Is unconstitutional was promulgated
by the commission In 1929 and has
been in effect since.

Associated Press Sports Writer
The early August road tours in the
major leagues have ended with high
honors for the New York Yankees,
leaders of Vie Americnn league, and
few, if any, for the Pittsburgh Pi
rates, head of the National.
The Yanks came through their trip
to the middle west with 10 wins out
of 15 games. The Bucks, on the
other hand, finished with seven vic
tories and 13 defeats. Today they
faced the Chicago Cubs In a "crucial"
series with a margin of only three
percentage points.
While Chicago was kept idle by
rain yesterday, Pittsburgh broke Its
10-gamc losing stream with a 5-to-3
victory over the Boston Braves in the
first of a double header and thus'
kept their hold on first place. They .
followed it by losing a "heart break- ,
er," 3 to 3, when home runs by Ber- j
gcr ana ocnu.mencn gave me craves
the decision.
Brooklyn took two games from the
Cincinnati Reds, 6 to 1 and 10 to fi in
13 innings, to make It 14 victories
in io siftri.
The St. Louis Cardinals completed
the downfall of the Phillies with an
eleventh Inning onslaught that
brought six runs and an U-to-5 vic
otry. Philadelphia's Athletics captured
second place in the American league
by defeating the Chicago White Sox,
6 to 3, while rain held Washington
and Cleveland idle.
The Yanks, meanwhile, maintained
a nine-game margin over the A.'s by
taking a 7-to-fl decision from the
St. Louis Browns.
Young Tommy Bridges stopped the
Boston Red Sox with three hits and
hurled DeWolt to a 0-to-3 victory.
