New York, June 10 U.W
American league teams, all ap
parently trying to live on the
same percentage point, provided
a mathematical housing problem
today, with the front-running
St. Louis Browns a bare four
and a half games ahead of the
last place Philadelphia Athletics.
With all games In the league
rained out, the accountants
called for a quick audit of the
standings, which revealed the
following:
1. That the leading Browns
with their .551 percentage
achieved in winning 27 games
and losing 22 would be no bet
ter than fourth in the current
National league standings.
2. The Athletics, In eighth
with a .455 mark established
on 20 victories and 24 losses,
would be no worse than sixth
if suddenly transplanted into the
senior circuit.
3. Only 96 points separate the
top and bottom clubs whereas,
in the National an even 300
points are between the first
place St. Louis Cardinals and
last place Chicago Cubs, who
have a 12V4-game spread.
Even more remarkable Is the
fact that at no time since the
season began nearly two months
ago have the top and bottom
teams been separated by more
than seven and a half games.
The St. Louis Cards mauled
the Cincinnati Reds 18 to 0 for
the most one-sided shutout In the
National league since 1906 when
the Cubs beat the Giants 19 to 0.
Backing Morton Cooper's five
hit pitching with a 21-hlt attack,
the Cards equalled a major
league record by stranding 18
men on base.
The game marked the first
appearance of 15-year-old Joe
Nuxhall, youngest player ever
to go into a major league lineup.
Hit appearance was Inauspi
cious, however, with -the entire
Cardinal lineup facing him In
two-thirds of an inning, during
' which he walked five men and
allowed two hits.
It was Cooper's fifth victory
and his third in a row.
In the only other major league
game, Pittsburgh strengthened
its hold on second place by beat
ing the visiting Cubs 9 to 4 with
a 16-hit attack. Frank Zak led
the batting with four hits. Elwin
(Preacher) Roe, who pitched the
last three Innings, was credited
with the victory.

ILLINOIS TRACK
Milwaukee, Wis., June 10
(U.R) The heralded rivalry race
between the nation's outstanding
sprinters, Claud "Buddy" Young
of Illinois and Ed Conwcll of
New York university, failed to
materialize tonight when Con
wcll was disqualified for two
false starts, and Young went on
to pace Illinois to its third na
tional collegiate track champion
ship in 23 years.
Illinois plied 79 points to cap
ture the twenty-third running
of the historic track and field
carnival, taking over the crown
that Southern California held
for nine straight years only to
forego its defense of the title
this year because of travel re
strictions.
The Illlnl triumph returned
the NCAA crown to the mid
west for the first time since
Indiana won In 1032.
The much-publicized attempt
of the stubby Mr. Young, negro
freshman sensation, to become
the first man to win four NCAA
events since Jesse Owens did it
in 1936 failed in two respects:
(1) Young was defeated in the
broad Jump by Ralph Tyler
of Ohio State, who leaped 23
feet 4VS inches, and (2) Young
scratched in the low hurdles
when it was obvious that Illi
nois would win anyway.
Nevertheless the Mr. Five by
Five from Chicago piled up 28
of Illinois' 79 points taking firsts
in the 100-yard and 220-yard
dash and second in the broad
Jump, based on the NCAA scor
ing of 10 points for first place
and eight for second. In addi
tion, he led Conwcll to the tape
by 10 yards in the 220 dash.
Runner-up to Illinois was
Notre Dame, with a 19-man
squad that spread its overall
strength to 43 points. . Michigan,
largely upon the work of its
famous Hume twins, finished
third with 40 points.

Faculty and Coaches Due to
Clash Over Policy At
Hood River Meet.
Portland, Ore., June 10 (U.R)
The once-powerful Pacific Coast
Intercollegiate conference ham
strung for the duration by can
cellation of most sports will
have a showdown on future poli
cy next week when the faculty
representatives, graduate man
agers and remaining coaches go
into spring session at Hood Riv
er. Ore.
A realistic battle Is brewing,
however, between the graduate
managers long Irked at playing
second fiddle and the faculty
representatives. The latter have
traditionally held the upper hand
.while the boys who make the
schedules and count the box of
fice receipts feel they should
have more say-so on policy.
Aside from such an internal
explosion, the remainder of the
three-day session isn't apt to
loosen the shingles of the Co
lumbia Gorge hotel, resort spot
chosen for the gathering. Some
of the coaches are gone for the
duration, only Washington has a
football team in the northern di
vision, the armed services keep
making Inroads among the male
students, and high paying de
fense Jobs lure the lads who oth
erwise might be earning a letter
man's sweater.
Tentative possibilities are
drafting of a skeleton football
schedule, with athletic heads of
army camps anxious to book
competition, resuming basketball
series in each division, playing
of baseball, and perhaps resched
uling of division track meets.
Most directors feel college ath
letics are due for a boom, after
the war so post war problems
may get an airing, particularly
eligibility of men who have com
peted on armed services teams
or in military college programs.
Schools to.be represented are
the University of Washington.
Washington State college, Uni
versity of Oregon, Oregon State
college, University of California,
University of Southern Califor
nia, Stanford university, Univer
sity of California at Los Angeles,
University of Idaho and Univer
sity of Montana. The meeting
opens Monday morning , and
should close Wednesday.
