Dumas Breaks 7-Foot Jump Barrier; Bill Bellinger Wins 5,000 Meter Run Glenn Davis Busts World Hurdle Mark Los Angeles (U.R) Amer ica's superbly conditioned ath letes served notice they are ready to defend their Olympic laurels after a record - shatter ing first-day of trials that result ed Friday night in these as tounding performances: 1. (Charlie Dumas, of Comp ton college (Calif.), shattered the once Invincible seven- foot bar rier in the high jump with an official leap of 7 ft. Vz in., one Lm Angeles (U.R) Thi strain of an injured leg proved too much for Duke track star Dave Sime in the Olympic trials here Friday. He fell less than 10 yards from the start ing blocks in the 100-meter trials and the expected duel between Sime and Texas' Bobby Morrow failed to ma terialize. Sime's leg was in jured two weeks ago at Berkeley- of two new world's records set as America put together its team for the 1956 Olympic games at Melbourne in November-Decen ber. 2. Glenn Davis, of Ohio State broke the world's 400-meter hurdles mark by nine-tenths of a second with a time of 49.5 Against the 1953 world record of 50.4 set Yuriy Lituyev of Russia. 3. Bobby Morrow, of Abflejie Christian, and Ira Murchison, of the Army, both equalled the world 100-meter dash record of 10.2 in separate preliminary heats. Morrow won the finals in 10.3, followed by Murchison. 4. Parry O'Brien equalled his own recognized world mark of 60 feet, 10 inches, in the shot- put. Ha has a better mark of 61 ft. 4 inches up for approval. 5. Bill Dellinger, University of Oregon, set a new American mark of 14:26 in winning the 5,000-meter event, the old mark, set in 1950 by Fred Wilt, was 14:26.8. With nearly 40,000 pairs of eyes on him, Dumas turned to his coach, Herschel Smith, and said: "Coach, I'm ready." Then he cleared the bar easily and a roar from the crowd hit like a slap against his ear. Dumas, only 19 years old, is a freshman at Compton col lege. He stands 6 feet, IVi inches and has been flirting with the seven-foot mark since he was in high school. After the leap, he said: "I felt real good. The field and the weather were just right and I knew the crowd was with me. The competition was good, too." Regarding the competition, he had that, all right. Vera Wilson of Santa Clara, Calif., and little (5-8) Phil Reavis, had cleared 6 ft. 9$ inches to tie for second. The 400-meter hurdle race was a thing of beauty to watch. Davis and young Eddie South ern, a University of Texas fresh man, cleared the last hurdle as one man. Then Davis barely out sprinted his young foe to the tape. Southern also broke the world mark, being timed in 49.7. Another outstanding perform ance came in the broad jump, where three men cleared the 25- foot mark. John Bennett, of the Army, took first .with a leap of 25 ft. 8V2 inches. Other winners: Hammer throw Al Hall, Cor nell, 197 ft. TVs inches; javelin throw Cy Young, San Francis- , co Olympic club, 244 ft. 11 ins. The disappointments were Bud Held, the world record holder, who failed by one inch to qualify in the javelin for the Olympic team; and Aubrey Lew is, of Notre Dame, the NCAA champion who stumbled over the last hurdle and failed to qualify in the 400-meter hurdles. Giles Won't Comment On Robinson Request Cincinnati (U.R) National League President Warren Giles declined to comment on Jackie Robinson's request for a hearing on why he was fined $50 argu ing with Umpire Augie Dona telli in a game with the Cincin nati Redlegs last Sunday.

They go to Bend Cardinal Hurler Finds Cincinnati Easy Pickings By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The homer - happy Cincinnati Redlegs may look like the Na tional League all star team to the fans but they're easy pick ings for Vinegar Bend Mizell. The St. Louis Cardinals' fire balling southpaw beat the Red- legs for the fourth straight time with a four-hit, 4-1 triumph Fri day night and moved the Red birds to within three games of first place. The loss snapped the rceaiegs five - game winning streak and prevented them from taking over the lead from the Milwaukee Braves, who bowed, 8-4, to the Chicago Cubs. Mizell's success against the Redlegs he's yielded oniy nine runs in the four victories should also make it easy for American League all-star Man ager Casey Stengel to choose his starter for the July 10 clasic. Billy Pierce is the fast curve baller of Mizell's type and Fri day night scored his seventh straight win and 12th of the year as the Chicago White Sox split a doubleheader with the Cleveland Indians. Mizell, only Cardinal pitcher to beat the Redlegs this season, now has an overall 8-5 record. Nuxhall'a mark is 5-7 and he's 0-2 versus the Cardinals.

FOR REPRINTS 5c PENN YWISE 323 EAST MAIN Oregon Ace Gains Berth In Olympics Los Angeles (U.R) The Uni versity of Oregon's Bill Dellin ger Friday set a new American record in the 5000-meter race to become tne first native Ore gonian since 1932 to win a berth on the United States Olympic track and field team. The lanky Oregonian ran the distance at the Olympic trials here in the record time of 14:26, knocking 8-10 of a second off the mark set by Fred Wilt in 1950. The veteran Curt Stone, of the New York Athletic Club, fin ished second in 14:29, followed by Max Truex of Southern Cali fornia. Dick Hart, of Philadel phia, was a poor fourth. Dellinger was the first Ore gonian to win a trip to the Olym pics on the track and field team since Ralph Hill made the trip 24 years ago. Dellinger is a grad uate of Springfield high school and plans to teach there this fall after he returns from the Olym pics in Australia. In the early moments of the race, Dellinger fell far back in the strong field, as far as ninth place. It was not until the 11th lap that he moved into second place behind Stone. When the gun sounded the final turn Del linger began to dominate the race and sprinted to the finish line with Truex and Stone fall ing behind. Another Oregon entrant in the Olympic trials, Leo Long of Nyssa, was off his better form and placed 10th in the javelin with a toss of only 215 feet, 5 V2 inches. Husky Crew Sets Record Syracuse, N.
