Shires baa been handicapped by an injured left knee most of the season. He waa badly spiked by Joe Strlpp in a gam with Brooklyn, and, despite th injury, insisted on playing. He was later forced to retire from th lineup and sine his return he has failed to measure up to th major league standard. Reports of friction between Shires and th Braves' management, always denied, have been circulating her several weeks.

It waa no secret th club was In th market for another first baseman and that Shlre would be replaced aa soon a a satisfactory replacement was obtained.

Information 1 at hand that Matt Pries, coach of th Shreveport Athletic club and Gladden Harrison, physical director, have left nothing undone to make th big two-night amateur box No sooner had a crowd of 48,000 finished cheering these sprint stars, however, than Carlo Lutl, Argentine, and Arthur Jonath of Germany came long to cover the same route In 21.4 seconds each In the remaining heats, to finish the wreckage of an Olympic record that bad stood since 1901.

This fresh outburst of speed forecast further demolition of the reor-d In the semi-finals and final of the 200 meters tomorrow, with the consensus favoring Tolan and Metcalfe to wage main fight. Hampson's thrilling victory In the 800 for Oreat Brltlan's first Olympic triumph, however, was the day's biggest moment. Hampton, 24 years old, was the favorite, regarded as the class of a strong field, but he needed every cunc of sprinting energy he could muster to come frcm behind and best Alex Wilson, slim Canadian, by a foot. The crowd was on Its feet roaring as Wilson, then Hampson cam around the last turn with rush to challenge and pass Phil Edwards, Canadian negro, who set the pare for the run. Wilson bung on gallantly but did not quit have the "kick" to match Hampson's perfectly timed spurt at the close, although he too, was clocked in better than world record time.

Himpaon not only erased the listed world record of 1:60.6 set by Sera Martin of France, who was eighth today, but surpassed the unofficial record of 1:50 flat made by Ben Eastman of Stanford this year. The former Olympic record of 1:51.8, from whicii Hampson clipped two full seconds, was set In 1928 by Douglas Lowe of England, who retired soon afterward from competition. Hampson also plans to quit the track after the present Olympics. The American trio, Eddie Gtnung, Ked Turner and Charlea Hornboatel, finished fourth, fifth and sixth, to help boost the American point total further out of sight, but they were never very much la the running. Oenung ran second most of the way, but had nothing to match the darning final drive of Hampson and Wilson.

Meanwhile the feminine contin gent, which has maintained an unbroken record-breaking pace, ur-! passed two more world records, and George Baling, Iowa hurdler, equalled the world's record by racing over the 110-meter high sticks In 14.4 seconds In the semi-finals. Altogether, after three days of astonishing competition, new Olympic records bav been set in no less than 11 of the 15 track and field events for men and women. The feminine stars have shattered three world records, while the men have broken one and equalled three other world marks. Th only events so far In which no records have fallen are the hammer throw, broad Jump and high Jump. The women's world record in the discos throw twice was surpassed before Lillian Copeland, American girl from Los Angeles, got off the decisive throw of 133 feet Inches.

This enabled her to beat Ruth Osburn, of Shelby ville, who had previously set a record of 131 feet 8 inches. Stella Walsh, th Polish girl who Uvea in Cleveland, touched world record time for th third time In two daya when she won the women's 100-meter championship In HJ seconds. This was her time for each of two races yesterday. Th prospect of a 1-2-3 finish for America In the high hurdle final tomorrow was increased by th daezllng performances of the United States trio. After Jack Keller of Ohio State had skimmed the 110-meter barriers in 14.5 seconds for a new Olympic record Baling came right back, in the second semi-final, to nose out his teammate, Percy Beard, in 14.4, tak lng another slice oft the Olympio mark, besides touching the world record held Jointly by two Bcandl navlans, Wennstrom of Sweden and BJostcdt of Finland.

BJosted was eliminated in the semi-finals, finishing fifth in the asm race won by Keller. Th U. 8. A. won its third men's championship when Edward Gordon, Iowa negro, came through with the best leap in the broad Jump, 25 feet -lnch.

with his teammate, Lambert Reed, second and Dick Barber, Southern California, fifth. The big aurprise was the detest of th two men who hsve held world records and elesred 20 feet. Th pre- Gulfport Legion Team Case Up to Mississippi Gulfport, Miss, Aug. 9 W. Whether th Jo Graham American Legion Junior baseball team of Gulfport will re-entered In the Mississippi stat tournament tonight rested with Powell Hall, athletic director for Mississippi.

There hsve been petty bickerings among contendere in recant years, but nothing to compare with th flareup said to exist between the Dallas Steers and th Beaumont Exporters at present. The Steer and th Exporters ar both accud of using th "bean ball," one of th most dangerous practices In the gam.

Vln Burke, a very fine chap, who aeea Beaumont getting its first pennant in history this year, wrote In hie column, "Sport Footnotes." in the Beaumont Enterprise Mondsy the following Interesting article about what took place in a gam between the Steers and Exporter at the latter's park Saturday: "Saturday's epidemic of bean-balling offered good example of what the major leagues are trying to stamp out, but per lisps never will.
