LA: Waits "Olympics" Top Track Talent Listed For Coliseum Saturday LOS ANGELES. May 21 (X) For an event appearing on the nation's track and field schedule for the first time, the Los Ange les coliseum relays seem to have done very well in corralling the finest talent in the country, The meet goes on in the coll seum Saturday. Pick your lead ing athlete and it's nine to one he'll be here, performing in the same spot where the 1932 Olym pic games were held. The same group of sportsmen who staged that attraction, incidentally, are backing this inaugural relays. Several events vie for top billing. One is the pole vault, which will find Cornelius Warm erdam, who punctured the 15- foot ceiling myth, competing against Earl Meadows, who used to share the world record at 14 feet 11 inches. It still stands on the record books, but Warmer- dam has done 15 feet 21 inches, and may improve on that this weekend. Getting away from California entries, the 120-yard high hur dles boast entries of Fred Wol- cott of Rice, Bob Wright of Ohio State and Pete Owens of Howard Payne in Texas.

After his easy decision yester day over Charley Howard's Mio land, the only horse still stand ing in whacky Whirly's way this year appeared to be George D. Widener's Eight Thirty. The chances are the two won't tangle until the Pimlico special in No vember, for Whirlaway will spend the next couple of months banging at his own three-year-old league, probably slartlng again Friday in the $7500 added Peter Pan handicap at Belmont unless something happens to him before then. But behind yesterday's race itself were (1) the frantic efforts of at least two trainers to scratch their horses, because they hadn realized what they were run' ning into, and (2) the lucky break for Belmont when a $2500 overnight allowanco affair pop ped up with a field that would have done credit to any $50,000 stake. The mile and a sixteenth at' fair was listed as an overnight allowance, with no Importance. But Trainers Ben Jones for Whirlaway, Tom Smith for Mio- land. Bill Mulholland for Your Chance, and Jim Caver for Hash All, got the idea it was a good opportunity for a "conditioner for the campaign ahead. The only thing wrong with the idea was that all of them got It a the same time. Since the win ncr's end of the thing amounted to only $1650, they didn't figure it was worth running for, but Belmont officials said there could be no scratches unless the condition of the track changed before post time. Sacs Continue Lead On Coast; Beavers Lose To Stars, 6-3 LOS ANGELES, May 21 (UP) The league-leading Sacramento Solons defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 7to B, at Wrigley field Tuesday. The Sacs splurged in the sixth inning with six runs off three Angels pitchers, Fay Thomas, Joe Berry and Slick Coffman, five hits and two stolen bases brought in the Sacramento runs. The Angels got off to a good start in the first frame when they got five hits and three runs off Sac Moundsman Tony Frie tas. Harry Lowry and Phil Wein- traub doubled, while Ray Berg er, Jimmy Collins and Storey landed singles. PORTLAND, May 21 (UP Hollywood scored three runs In the 11th Inning here Tuesday night to set down the Portland Beavers 6 to 3 after tleing up the game in the sixth. The Stars jerked Basso from the mound in the second inning, and Tost then set the home team down with but three hits for the remainder of the game. Holly wood scored In the first on a walk, a force-out. and a two-bagger by Herman, but the Beavers came back in their half to gar ner two counters when Schultz singled with the bases full. rctt, starting Seattle pitcher, to the showers with a five-run as sault.

It was Scats' fourth win in five starts. i5B, . i getting away with a lion's share of the exceptionally good foods we feature every day In the weekl Ito Flattens Piluso After Big Battle Pair Left in Ring At End of Moss Fight; Hoff nor, Chick Also Winners BY BOB GLENNON , Tnro Ito, the squatty, grinning Japanese wrestler from Hono lulu, combined all the unscru pulous methods In his villainous repertoire with tho cunning of his Oriental background to de feat Ernie Piluso, affable Klam ath Falls grappler. In tho final main event of a throe-way show last night at tho armory arena. Piluso and Ito, the lust two of six men to survive a battle royal which oponed tho evening's program, stagod a fnst-moving duel that had partisan fans sit ting on tho edges of their scats throughout the performance. Even after tho fcntlvltles had of ficially closed Piluso, victim of a surprise third fall, clouted Ito over the head with a chair when the latter attempted to sneak up behind him as ho was leaving tho ring. Leg Twist First fall of the Ito-Ptluso clash went to the Japnncso In 8:40 of the hour time limit affair as he clamped on a leg twist that made Ernie conccdo tho initial round. Taro so Incensed the local Ital ian during tho ensuing minutes of tho tussle that Piluso began bouncing off the ropes In his favorito maneuver, a scries of flying tackles, and easily pinned Ito with a body press after a little less than six minutes to annex tho second 'fall of the match. The bout appeared all to be In Plluso's favor near the end as the boys were sparring for an opening that would bring about the third and deciding fall. And Ernie seemed to have the win all but tucked away as he tied Ito up in the ropes and started a group of dropklcks. Tho last ono, however, backfired and Ito managed to get untangled from the hemp to fall on top of the luckless Italian, hold him to the canvas with a body press and score a victory. Chick Eliminated As the battle royal opened there was much speculation as to what group of men would gang up on another clique, but few spectators dreamed that Cowboy Dude Chick, the Pacific coast Junior heavyweight champion would be the first man eliminat ed. But such was the outcome as Gus Johnson, the aggressive Norwegian from St. Paul, put him down with a hammerlock and the other four men piled on top to send the champ to the dressing rooms only 61 seconds after the show had begun. Johnson was next to go as lio boro him to the boards and tho other three contestants oblig ingly dog-plled Gus to send him from the arena, Gil Knudson, blonde Norwegian, was unablo to recover from choke holds ad ministered by Cowboy Jim Huff nor and was the third man elimi nated. Only One Fall Dude Chick and Gus Johnson put on a scientific battle for two rounds of their match. Then tho cowboy seized his opportunity, a chance for the alrplano spin, and polished off his opponent with the sickening, twirling movement. Thero was only ono full. Jim Hcffner convincingly de feated Gil Knudson In tho second pairing of tho night with choke holds which thoroughly put tho 201-pound Norwegian out of commission, Yakima Downs Loop-Leading Indians, 6-4 By The Associated Press' Yakima's rampaging Pippins get their chance this week to move into first place In the Western International league. Last night on their home field, the Pippins downed the leading Spokane Indiana, 6 to 4, In the first game of a series. Tho triumph put Yakima within one game of first place. At Vancouver, the Capllanos continued their winning ways by blanking the Salem Senators, 9 to 0, In tho first of a four game series. Pitcher Ernie Ker shaw gave up only two hits for ono of the best league pitching exhibitions of the season. At Tacoma, the lost-place Tig ers took It on the chin from the Improved Wenatcheo team, 6 to 5. Two homers each were hit for Tacoma by Morry Abbott and Bill Gray, but Wenatchee played tight baseball the rest of the time to hold the Tigers back. M. P.
