Under skies that trickled occasional relief from a burning May sun, the Evarhart-schooled Uniontown entry put two new relay records on the books, in addition to accounting for two of the four individual marks set up in this year's big putsch of scholastic track in this end of the state.

The Uniontown "thunderbolts" Al Greaves, Bob Brown and Negro flashes, Sylvester Trent and Cornelius "Ben" Tur-pm unleashed their power in the half-mile relay by clipping two full seconds off the old standard with a sizzling 1:32.7 performance, 35 yards ahead of the field. Then the quartet returned to step the mile in 3:30.2 minutes, to clinch the meet. Bob Mulligan's victory in the final drawn-out discus event, a record heave of 144 feet, five inches with the newly-adopted lighter "saucer," was anti-climax, serving merely to boost the total to 28. Placing men in the next two discus positions, Greensburg took second place with 22yA points. Canonsburg was third with 19.

Bridgeville romped away with the team title in Class competition, tallying 38 points to runner-up Jefferson Township's 28. Defending chamnion By LESTER BIEDERMAX The Pirates went back into the business of manufacturing base-riits yesterday and produced them at such a furious pace that some 4600 fans wondered why they hadn't learned the formula long before this. It was so easy yesterday. sl i ii The Pirates uncorked a savage 18-hit attack which produced 12 Grid Mogul Dead runs and it was an easy matter to record a 12-6 triumph against the Bees. The outburst was the mightiest of the season for.

the Bucs and included five doubles. tf k-jjuii i The Traynormen Jumped two notches in the standings through their triumph. They overhauled both the Giants and Dodgers, who had losing afternoons, and now rest in fifth place, a game and a half out of fourth place. Every Bucco hit safely, except Fireman Mace Brown, who came to Joe Bowman's aid in the eighth inning when Joe played himself out running the bases during the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. And Brown reached base at that, when Warstler contributed an error to the afternoon's fun.

Rybaci Sets Hurdle Mark The prize feat was reeled off by Canonsburg's Joe Rybaci, who lived up to expectations and then some by setting a new standard in the JOSEPH F. CARR iu-yara nign nurcues.

Twice in preliminary heats, Rybaci cracked Carr Dies Batting Order Shakeup Works Traynor revised his batting order for the 'umpteenth time and the new setup worked perfectly. P. Waner led off, with Arky Vaughan moved to second. Johnny Rizzo stayed in the third hole and Fern Bell was promoted to clean-up. Brubaker advanced to fifth, ahead of Suhr; Handley was next, followed by Berres, who supplanted Ray Mueller.

Joe left a machinist's bench with the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1910 to devote his full time to sports His first famous team was The Columbus Panhandles, a football aggreggation that was a professional gridiron power from 1904 to M21. Under Carr's stimulus, the Ohio cities of Columbus, Canton and Massillon became the cradle of big league professional football. While Carr struggled along establishing the solidarity of his foot- ball empire, baseball had become secondary among his interests. However, in 1918 Thomas E. Wilson of Chicago, owner of the Columbus Senators of the American Association, chose Carr as president of his club.

In 1930, Carr was named promotional director for the minor leagues. His work in this position is credited with having been instrumental in reviving the smaller circuits after the hard blows they suffered during depression years. Carr terms Jim Thorpe, the ancient Indian, as the outstanding professional football player of all-time. In addition to his football and baseball duties Carr is an International officer of the Agonls Club.
