CHARLES KOCSIS PAUL LESLIE Kocsis, University of Michigan's links star, captured the U.

Application to the A. A. U. for holding the national junior mile swim here this summer has been made by Sparks. The event, if awarded to this city, will be staged in the men's outdoor pool at the Sanitarium, scene of the record-breaking 800-yard relay event by a team of Seattle, Wash, girls two years ago.

Mr. Sparks, who groomed Lodema Dunbar for her state and- national junior diving championships, has three new proteges who he claims are future Olympic material Betty Burton, Martha Blair and Raymond Root, all drivers. Betty is only nine and Raymond but eight years old. He is now instructing them in the half gainer; they excel in other dives, particularly the back one and half from the lowboard. Young Root also dives from the highboard (J 0-foot or three-meters).

TD Giant 4-Year-Old Takes Pont- chartrain Handicap at Fairgrounds Track. DETROIT (JP) A giant 4-year-old colt, Whopper, galloped in easily a neck ahead of Stand Pat to win the second running of the $5-000 Pontchartrain handicap Saturday and give another stake here to Hal Price Headley, whose Holly-rood won the $2,000 Detroit derby. Sir Michael was third and F. M. Alger's 8-year-old gelding Azucar, pounded down the stretch a tardy fourth.

Whopper led from the start and finished the mile and one-sixteenth in 1:44 3-55, paying $3.60 to win, $2.80 to place and $2.60 to show. Stand Pat paid $3.60 and $3.00 and show money was $3.60. The victory was worth $4,040 net to Headley. mm MILWAUKEE Lee M.

Marquette university freshman, led a field of 36 athletes into the United States Olympic finals by-bettering Olympic marks in the discus and high jump in the Central Olympic track and field semifinals Saturday. Laurels went to Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette universny sprinter who won the 100 and 200 meters and put in his bid for a berth on his second Olympic team, and Glenn Cunningham, the veteran Kansas distance star. While placing fourth in the 800 meters, Cunningham won the 1300 meters in 3 minutes, 53.2 seconds, after coming from behind and taking the lead from Archie San Ro-mani, of Emporia, (Kan.) Teachers. Exceeds Olympic Mark Carpenter, who bettered the world record with a discus throw of 173 feet a week ago, exceeded the Olympic mark with a toss of 170 feet, 2 inches. The Olympic record at 162 feet, 4 7-8 inches was set by John Anderson in 1932.

Although Burke's high Jump of 6 feet, 6 7-16 inches was seven-sixteenths on an inch better than the Olympic mark Harold Osborn mnrle in 1934. the Negro lad failed by more than two inches of the stadium record set in the A. A. u. games here in 1934.

Metcalfe, who has equalled or bettered all standard sprinting records from 40 yards to 220, was clocked in the 100 at 10.5 and in the 200 at 21.3. after pulling out with his characteristic burst of speed at the halfway mark. from a Battle Smiths, as might be expected, take the prize.

Leo, Margaret, Marlin, Nathan, Philip, Raymond, 1 iass ess as sfc NEW YORK (JP) The Chicago Cubs Saturday missed their second chance in a week to take over the National league lead by bowing to a suddenly-slugging band of Giants, 11 to 2. As a result of the victory, tha Giants pulled up to a third-place deadlock with the Pirates, and the Cubs sank to a full game off the St. Louis Cardinals' pace. Harry Gumberty chalking up his seventh win against who defeats for the season, pitched six-hit ball through the seven full innings he worked. Frank Gabler relieved him when he showed signs of weakening early in the eighth.

Warneke Loses Fourth Although the Giants were out in front from the first inning, when they scored three runs, and started Lon Warneke on the way to his fourth defeat of the season against eight victories, they sewed up the game with a six-run splurge in the eighth, after pushing two more runs across in the sixth. The six-run spree was made while Roy Henshaw, the third Cub pitcher was in the box. The Giants pounded him for five hits and profited by Henshaw's two-base wild throw to shove the runs over. In the first singles 'by Joe Moore and Sam Leslie, a walk and Gus Mancuso's double brought in the three runs. Mel Ott's walk, Leslie's triple and Mancuso's long fly added the two in the sixth.

Singles by Augie Galan and Lon Warneke accounted for the Cub's first tally, in the third, while their other, in the seventh, came when Gumbert passed Billy Herman with, the bases loaded, after Charley Grimm and Bill Jurges had singled.

Duplicates Fischer's Win Kocsis. bom at New Castle, 33 years ago, duplicated the achievement of Michigan's Johnny Fischer in 1932. in winning both the Big Ten and National collegiate titles. Fischer went on to become a member of the U. S.

Walker cup team, an honor which has not fallen to Kocsis so far. Hero of three comebacks during the tournament, two of them of the hair-raising variety, in reaching the final round, Kocsis was at the top of his game today. There was no need for him to stage a rally of any kind as he put in a day of near-par shooting over the 6.927-yard, liberally trapped North Shore course, to wear Leslie down. He finished the morning round one up and at the start of afternoon play it was apparent the pace was beginning to tell on the southern shotmaker. He dropped the tenth to Kocsis par four and after halving the next two lost three holes in a row.

From then on it was a question of time, with Leslie's putting becoming erratic after having been brilliant all week. Sinks 22-Footer As Climax Kocsis, on the other hand, started pouring them in from everywhere, reaching the climax of his hot work on the carpets with the 22-foot effort on the finishing hole. Leslie proceeded to tiie finals in orderly manner, reaching his peak by eliminating his more famous teammate, Frederick T. Haas, Jr. Kocsis, however, had anything but an easy time reaching the final round.

He squeezed in among the qualifiers with 156 strokes and then beat Paul Jamison of Yale and Lynford Larciner, before encountering trouble. The Michigan star had to go an extra hole to down John O. Levin-son of Yale after squaring the match with Willie Turnesa of Holy Cross Friday before winning on the extra hole. Leslie eliminated Art Doering, Colorado, Pat Malloy, Notre Dame and Veme (Spec) Stewart of Stanford. Bill Terry Not to Play In July 7 All-Star Tilt NEW YORK (JP) -r- Charley Grimm, who will manage the National league all-stars in the annual inter-league battle July 7, announced yesterday that Bill Terry, New York Giants' pilot and first baseman, has withdrawn from the squad for the forthcoming game.

Vanderbilt's Discovery won the Brooklyn handicap for the third straight year Saturday, defeating his stablemate, Good Gamble, by four lengths in the mile and an eighth race at Aqueduct.
