The discus of the ancients varied greatly, in weight, size and composition from that of today. Once again we may be doing them an injustice. Still, their modern descendants, skilled through months of practice, couldn't beat Robert Garrett of America, who won making tha third cast of his lifetime. Took a Running Throw Then. THE discus today is thrown from a circle, with a wooden sill to help the athlete stay within the circle.

The athlete makes a double or triple turn before he lets go, and thus builds up his momentum. That may account for the difference between tha 95-foot throw of Robert Garrett and the one made by John Anderson, who set the Olympic record in 1932 at 162 feet 4 inches. But the ancients had advantages, too, in throwing the discus. They heaved the weight from a "balbls," which was a rectangle marked on the ground, with three sides closed but the rear open. The discus thrower thus could take a run and several steps in approaching the mark from which he hurled the missile.

In Olympia, the discus throws, like the javelin casts, were made off the stone sills from which the sprinters were started. At intervals small posts marked tha larger distances, say 100 feet, and the landing place of the cast was marked with a peg. 1 inn ujmmiriwinmiiii 1 5 1 Compete in the Junior Trials Madison and St Clair County athletes combined to provide competition In the preliminaries of the Greater St. Louis "Junior Olympics' yesterday at Jones Park, in East St. Louis.

Only three events scheduled, the juniqr boys' and girls' 50-yard dash and the senior girls' 50, had sufficient entries to qualify the alloted six for the finals. Director Armin Wahlbrink decided to give the contestants some activity, however, and two heats of three entries in eacn heat were run off. Only three were entered in the senior boys' 220-yard dash and shotput, while Eddie Po-sage of East St Louis was the only senior entry in the high jump, with Edwards, East St Louis, the only junior boys' shotput contestant The senior boys' 220 saw Warnock of Niedringhaus Methodist, Madison, romp to an easy victory over his teammate, Barkley, and G. Shepard of St. Paul's M.

The first race of the final Olympic elimination series for star class yachts was declared "no contest yesterday when the 3-hour time limit expired before the light, uncertain winds on Great South Bay had carried any of the thret entries over the finish line. That is a tremendous gap.

Stand at the broad jump takeoff some day and take a look at a peg 26 feet distant and you will probably exclaim: "It can't be done!" No human legs could propel a body that distance, you'll be convinced. But 26 feet was Just nothing at all in the life of the ancient Olympic broad jumper IF we believe the writers of the day. Now mind you, the broad jump conditions at Olympia were much the same as they will be at Berlin. The running jumpers used a hard takeoff, probably of stone. And they dug a pit and softened the ground at the point where the jumpers were expected to alight, called the "skammo," It was a little I uher for the ancients, too, because they had to alight on "both feet together and maintain their equilibrium after landing.

No alighting on one foot, no falling back or forward just plain, honest two-foot landing. Broad-Jump of 50 Feet. YET, in spite of the restriction, we read that Phayllus jumped 50 feet and landed beyon the skamma or pit dug for the jumpers. That was tough for Phayllus, for, although he won the leap, he broke an ankle because of alighting on the hard ground. But that 50-foot jump was only a beginning.

We read that Chionis leaped 52 feet and later, in a pentathlon, Phayllus (he yj-rw-g rip tAPt tY must have recovered from that broken leg) jumped 55 feet. True they permitted' jumpers to 'use stone or metal weights called "halters." But they could hardly have doubled an athlete's efforts. In the meantime, we'll be satisfied to have America's ace do 26 feet and this will win for him at Berlin, is our guess. The Diskos Not So Hot. THE diskos or discus is one of the classic events of the Greeks and it was part of the pentathlon event in the ancient Olympics.

But one of the strange things about it is that Greeks don't seem to have mastered their specialty at all. They carved statues of discus throwers and the statues are rated tops in the world of sculpture. But when it came to casting the discus well, we hate to be mean about it, but the ancients just weren't there. Nor are the modern Greeks. At Berlin you'll see several of our boys fire that missile over 160 feet.

Several have beaten that figure by five feet, in competition, recently. But it is a sad fact which Greek literature records that the mighty Phayllus we've mentioned him before could only heave the darned thing the equivalent of 95 feet. And they thought that was some cast! In this connection a very humorous incident occurred at the first Olympic revival held in Athens, in 1896. There were two events which the Greeks wanted to win the discus and the marathon. They thought Greek tradition entitled them to supremacy in both.

Well, Spiridon Loues won the marathon all right; but the Greek discus thrower ran true to form and fliwered. Mr. Garrett Intervenes. THERE was a young husky from Princeton University named Robert Garrett. He was one of a team of 12 men that represented America and brought home the bacon, too.

Garrett had entered the discus throw on a chance. Before arriving in Greece he had never even seen a discus and when he picked it up for competition in the games, he held one in his hands for the first time. He watched the Greeks cast for a while and finally, when he was called, tossed a sailer that didn't do so well -On his third toss, however, he heaved the di3CU3 and got a fine toss for him which eventually proved the winning cast. And what, if you please, do you suppose the distance was? liothing but 95 feet 7 inches, or almost exactly the winning cast about which that old boaster Phayllus talked, some 2500 years ago.

STATEMENT Still Going Big. THE javelin throw, which ought to be obsolete, since it was purely a military event in the ancient days, is gaining ii- popularity.

One would almost expect tha bow and arrow to get a place on the Olympic track program if tha javelin did. But here it is today and wa haven't been able to get to tha front with a victory in the javelin throw since it was first introduced in 1906. Sweden and Finland have monopolized it, and it looks very much like we'll be content with second and third this time, because Finland this year has an athlete who has cast the javelin 15 feet beyond the best American effort. Javelin a Distance Event. AT OLYMPIA, they cast for distance not accuracy, just as today; but they nad a big edge on the moderns.

Today our boys merely grasp the javelin somewhere back of its center of gravity and heave. In the ancient days they used a leather thong wrapped around the haft of the Javelin to aid in the cast They called it an "ankyle" or more frequently an "amentum." One finger of the caster was hooked in a loop of the thong and when the cast was made this caused the thong to unwind and impart a spiral motion to the javelin, increasing its distance and steadying its flight. And, just in case you think this is trifling, here are soma facts about the effect of tha amentum in casting a spear: In the days of Napoleon a General Reffye conducted experiments with the amentum, as applied to spear-throwing. He found that a soldier who could cast the spear 20 meters by hand, could hurl it 80 meters aided by tha amentum. Another experimenter found that the amentum increased the cast from 25 to 65 meters, his own efforts being employed in the test.

If they permitted our boys to employ the leatner thong as a caster, we might make the casts of the ancients a bit sickly since the record, made without the amentum, is now 238 feet, 7 inches, held byvMatti Jarvlnen of Finland.

PARKER BEATS WELSH, ENTERS TOURNEY FINAL By the Associated Press, SPRING LAKE, July 11.

Frankie Parker, the defending champion and idol of the home crowd, marked time today as his principal rival, Robert Riggs of Hollywood, battled J. Gilbert Hall of South Orange for the right to meet the nation's seventh ranking player for the championship of the Bathing and Tennis Club's invitation tournament Parker, safely ensconced in the title round for the fourth straight year, took part in the doubles semifinals, pairing with Hall against the California collegians, Robert Underwood and William Seward. The other doubles semifinal brought together the top-seeded duo of Riggs and Wayne Sabin against a pair of fellow Californians, John Law and Gene Smith. Beth singles and doubles finals have been scheduled tomorrow afternoon. Parker, having retired the old Clifford Hemphill bowl, will be seeking his first leg on the new silver trophy.

He and Hall are also defending the Frederic Duggan bowls, prizes for the doubles winners. Parker survived stifling heat and stiff opposition from Lanky Barnard Welsh of Rockville, to win his semifinal singles match, 63, 46, 61, 97. Welsh, national public parks champion, came from behind at 0 3 to win the second set mainly on his strength at the service line. Parker swept the third set with loss of cne game, but in the fourth Welsh again uncorked a hard-driving game. He assumed a 7 6 lead when Parker failed to solve his service, but Frankie's staying power was too much for the Maryland youth.

LEWIS IS EASY WINNER IN HIS GO WITH MAREK By the Associated Press, CHICAGO, July 11. The busy fists of Light-heavyweight Champion John Henry Lewis had shattered today whatever dreams Max Marek may have had of entering the front ranks of heavyweight title contenders.

The Phoenix (Ariz.) titleholder gave Marek, heavily muscled Chicago battler, a neat 10-round whipping last night at Comiskey Park, home of the Chicago White Sox. A crowd of 7141 fans who paid saw the Negro champion take every round from his opponent, who offered little else than gameness and ability to take punishment. Marek, who beat Joe Louis during the "Bomber's" amateur days, was outgeneraled and outboxed throughout. He opened a cut on Lewis' right eyelid with a left hook in the third stanza but could not take advantage of the injury as Lewis kept up a telling head and body attack. Lewis weighed 175 to 'Marek's 184.

A victory for Marek likely would have resulted in his being matched with Joe Louis but the decisive defeat shoved him out of the heavyweight picture. May Get Harness Racing.
