The unluckicst man In baseball, by all odds, Is Lefty Edgar

two hits.
But Smltty learned last night
that thoro are even tougher

Smith waged a magnificent

spacing seven hits to Wagner's
six. The only difference be
tween the two wus that drive
by Dominic DiMugglo which
rolled out of sight under the
bench and couldn't ho found

Smith had been beaten twice
before 1-0, twice 2-1, twice 4-3
and once, of course, 2-0. Alto-
S other he tins lost six games
y one run.
This dramatic mischance took
some of tho attention away from

Father Knickerbocker's populace
turned a very cold shoulder to
the Junior division of tho fifty
fifth annual track and fluid meet
but it Is so worked up over
today's metric mile that tho bet

short of a mile, brings together
Leslie MacMltehell, defending
champion, and the four men
who have defeated him sinco

fnvorlto with Gil Oodds of Bos

Bob Glnn, Nebraska mite who
whipped him soundly In last
week's national collcglatc-s, Is
held at B to 5 while Don Burham,
Dartmouth sophomore, and Le
roy Weed, Southern California
ace, are 2 to 1 choices.
That race, along with the pole
vaulting of Cornelius Warmer
dam, is expected to fill at least
15,000 of tliu suuts ut Randulls
island and make it possible for
the A. A. U. to turn over some
$75,000 to the army emergency

The New York Athletic club

'Big Poison' Werner
Cracks 3000th Hit
Boston Outfielder in Distinguished
Company; Six Others in Hall of Fame
By BOB BROEG
BOSTON, June 20 OP) Baseball's hall of fame beckoned to
day to Paul Glee Wancr, the little man with big stuff, but he
Dumosely looked the other way (1) because you've got to be
retired for that distinction and
of quitting.
Waner highlighted a brilliant 17-year major league career
yesterday with his 3000th hit a fifth-inning single off former
Pittsburgh teammate Trueu e
wcll that placed the 39-year-old
Boston Brave outfielder In
mighty exclusive company.
Only six other players, all of
them 20-year veterans, ever got
3000 hits. And all of them since
have been elected to baseball's
Hall of Fame at Cobperstown, N.
Y. Ty Cobb, 4191; Tris Speaker,
3518; Honus Wagner, 3430; Ed
die Collins, 3313; Napoleon La
Joie, 3242, and Adrian "Cap"
Anson, 3081.
But big Poison Paul isn't
ready to join them.
"No, I think I'll hang around
awhile," the laconic little guy
smiled. "I don't think the old
warhorse Is ready to be let out
to pasture yet."
Three times National league
batting champion, holder of the
league record of 200 or more
hits for each of eight seasons
and author of a lifetime batting
average of .335, Waner was be
sieged by both teams among
them Pirate Manager Frankle
Frisch, a long-time playing rival
after he reached first base.
There were more handshakes
than at a political rally as the
umpires handed Waner the 3000-
hit ball.
Currently hitting .280, Waner,
who needed only 44 hits for 3000
when the season began, now
needs only two more bases on
balls for 1000, a figure which
would bracket him with Man
ager Mel Ott of the New York
Giants among the National
league's active players.

today the left hand he broke

Conn had 1 clashed last
month with father-in-law Jim

league baseball player who
came away without a scratch
from his one-round kitchen
scrap with the No. 1 heavy

$125,000, his estimated share

Seattle won a doubleheader
from San Diego and spoiled the
Padres' chances of taking over
the top spot of Pacific coast
league baseball last night.
Hal Turpln, veteran Rainier
