Russians Lead Olympics
As U.S. Events-Come Up;
Yank Sculler Again Ousted
Helsinki U.R) John B.
Kelly Jr. of Philadelphia again
was denied the only major scull
ing title he never has won when
he was eliminated Tuesday in
the semi-finals of the Olympic
singles event in a photo finish.
Helsinki (U.R) The United
States suffered a rowing setback
in the Olympics Tuesday when
the Stanford University pairs-
with-coxswain shell was elimi
nated in the semi-finals.
The Stanford crew James
Beggs of Portland, Ore., coxs
wain; James T. Fifer, bow, and
Duvall Hecht, stroke - finished
second to Germany in its heat.
But since the Yanks finished
fourth in a semi-final heat Mon
day, they now are eliminated.
While his American supporters
lined the Meilahti course and
shouted, "Let's go, Kelly!" the
young U. S. rowing star barely
was beaten by Teodor Kocerka,
Polish champion.
The judges decided to examine
the photo of the race after first
announcing that Kocerka had
won. The picture confirmed their
original decision.
Pole Had It

the semi-finals of the 1948 single
sculls event, had no excuses for
his defeat today.
"I guess the Pole just had it,'
he said after the race. "I kept
expecting him to weaken but he
just kept going on."
Kocerka was timed in seven
minutes and 41.8 seconds over
the 2,000 -meter (about 1.24
miles) course. Kelly was only
two-tenths of a second slower.
Goxdien A Near Miu
America's three discuss throw
ers qualified for the finals of
the event this afternoon, al
though Fortune Gordien, Minne
apolis, just made it on his third
and final try. Sim Iness, Los
Angeles and Jim Dillon, Upper
Sandusky, Ohio, made it easily.
Gordien, throwing with his
sweat suit on, failed to make the
qualifying distance of 46 meters
(150 feet, 11V6 inches) on his
first two tries. He then removed
his sweat clothes and came
through with a toss of 165 feet,
2 inches. It was the best Ameri
can effort.
Mai Whitfield tried for an his
toric repeat as 800-meter Cham
pion today and three Americans
aimed for a sweep of the first
three places in the pole vault
as the United States attempted
to overtake Russia in the team
competition.
Russians in Front
The Yanks have another
chance to score points in the
discus throw, where three U.S.
stars are given an outside chance
of upsetting Champion Adolfo
Consolini of Italy.
Russia, with a strong showing
Monday night in gymnastics, lead
the unofficial team competition
with 128 points to 72 for the
United States.
The appearance of the smooth
striding Whitfield, Air Force
sergeant from Columbus, Ohio,
figured to be the highlight of
tthe third day of competition in
the games. The brilliant Negro
ace faces once again the men
who gave him his closest compe
tition in the 1948 games at Lon
don, Arthur Wint, Jamaica, and
Mai will have to be at his peak
to win again.
Whitfield Again
Whitfield set the Olympic rec
ord in 1948 when he clocked
1:49.2.
The three U. S. pole vaulters
Bob Richards, Laverne, Calif.;
Don Laz, Champaign, 111., and
George Mattos, San Francisco
appear to be almost in a class
by themselves. It will come as
a major surprise if one of them
fails to smash the Olympic rec
ord of 14 feet," 3Vi inches set
by Earle Meadows of the U. S.
in 1936.
Richards cleared the "magic
15 foot level 24 times in his
career.
TI. S. entries are given only
slim chance of scoring in the
100-meter dash for women, and
the U. S. team in foils fencing
has been eliminated.
TI. S. gold medal winners Mon
dav were Charley Moore of Cor
nell, who equalled the record
nf so R seconds in the 400-meter
hurdles; Parry O'Brien of South
ern California, who set a new
record of 57 feet, 1.44 inches
in the shot put; Lindy Remigmo,
Hartford, Conn., who beat Herb
MeKenlev of Jamaica in a photo
finish in the 100-meter dash; and
Jerry Biffle of .the Army in the
broad jump.'
All of California's portland
cement mills lie within a 125
mile radius of the two principal
marketing centers San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles.

probably would have Han in
the bullpen for relief purposes
on the current trip which in

Manager Gets
Double Duty
By UNITED PRESS
Bill Brenner, in addition to
managing the fourth-place Lew
iston Broncos, takes his turn
on the mound along with the
rest of his pitching staff. In fact,
he's about the most effective
hurler on the team.
Brenner strode to the hill
Monday night and tossed a six
hit, 9-5 victory over Victoria,
the front-running team in the
Western International league.
He had tough going until the
eighth , however, when the
Broncos exploded for four un
earned runs on four hits, three
errors and a sacrifice. The win
was his 12th against seven
losses.
In the only other game, Van
couver capitalized on five Spo
kane errors to trip the Indians,
4-3. Three of the miscues, com
bined with three singles, gave
the Caps a trio of runs in the
sixth. Another tally in the sev
enth clinched the win.
