Duffey, while at Georgetown University, was the first sprinter ever to be clocked over the 100 at 9 3-5 seconds. He did it in 1902 but for some reason or other the record was never officially credited. Long, in 1900, turned the 440 on a straightaway track In the remarkable time of 47 seconds flat.

The mark still stands as the best performance for the distance. These two old-time stars met the other day and swapped yarns anent "how good the boys of years ago were." Intercollegiate Meet Is Marred By Heavy Rains Paris, June 12 Suzanne Lenglen is still supreme. The great French player today defeated Miss Mary K. Browne, thrice American titleholder, in the singles final of the international hard court tennis championship. The score was, 6-1, 6-0.

Miss Browne was able to take only the second game of the first set. The American made a gallant stand against her scintilating opponent and scored many beautiful placements by going to the net Suzanne, however, was unbeatable. She used her famous tactics of running her opponent back and forth along the base line, seeming to put the ball whereever she wanted it. Rain fell during the tntire first set. The court was slippery and the ball heavy.

St 4 1 sr 4 Bi ENTER IN THE ALTOONA RACES Altoona, June 12. A score or more of the country's foremost speed demons of the board track were expected to cress the starting line today in the 250 mila automobile race at the Atlanta speedway. Fourteen drivers in ears of various make and deuijri so far have made the 118 miles an hour fur a single lap, necessary to qualify, while ten were to itempt the qualifying run this morning. Weather indications alone were unfavorable. It had started to rain early today.

Included among the probable starters in ths motor classic were Frank Lockhart, the 23-year-old Los Angeles novice, who captuied the 500 mile brick track event at the Indianapolis speedway in May, Peter Depaolo, H'25 championship, ai.d practically all of the country's best known automobile racers. Fred Wagner was selected as official starter. What did Heinie Manush, Detroit outfielder, hit during his 1922 sea3oa with Omaha? D. F. He hit .376.

1 IDEAL-Sun. -Mon. MIDNIGHT EXPEES? oiS Say? For freak ball games I recommend the one staged at Cleveland June 5 between the Indians and the New York Yankees. Here are some of the unusual things that happened: To open, Cleveland won from New York, 15-3, the worst defeat the league-leading Yankees have suffered all season. Buckeye, Cleveland's heavyweight southpaw, aside from holding the Yankees safe, was the Welding and batting hero of the afternoon.

In four trips to the plate he made as many hits, including a "home run, double and two singles. In the field, with the bases filled and no one out, he caught a line drive and started a triple play that got him out of a deep hole. Incidentally, Babe Ruth made his 19th home run of the season. Tris Speaker, Cleveland manager, also figured in the day's events in a decidely unusual manner. The event was designated as "Speaker Day," to honor the Jam us manager of the Indians, a rather belated testimonial to the fact that he was the most valuable player in the American League in 1912: When the most valuable player scheme was inaugurated by the American League, club managers were made ineligible.

This prevented aome of the greatest stars of the game, like Cobb, Speaker, Collins and other from being so honored. Years ago, a similar plan known as the Chalmers trophy, was the vogue and in 1912 Speaker received that award. The honor was simply brought up to date in the recent "Speaker Day" game. Eddie Collins, best of second eackers and Tyrua Cobb, rated the greatest ball player of all time, are to be honored a la Speaker later in the season. Certainly an American League roll of honor would be incomplete without the names of Cobb, Speaker and Collins.

To round out an afternoon of freak happenings, Kube Lutzke completed an unassisted double play, the like of which I have never seen during my 21 years' connection with the American League. With one out. Bob Meusel on second and Lazzeri at bat, Lutzke went into action. The batsman bit sharply to Lutzke at third. Jleusel was in motion with the pitch.

Seeing he was a sure out if he continued on to third, he started back to second with Lutzke in hot pursuit Lutzke touched Meusel out when a few feet of second. Lazzeri, only a few feet away, realizing he would be retired he continued on his way, retraced his steps to first Lutzke gave chase. Both slid in to first base as Lutzke made a last effort to touch Lazzeri with the ball. The Yankees' second-sacker overslid the base and was out. Lutzke had completed a double-play assisted, retiring runners at second and first after fielding the batted ball at third.

I never expect to umpire another game like it Generally considered the greatest outfielder in the history of the game, Speaker has never been far behind as a batter. A left-handed batsman, Speaker has always been able to hit either kind of pitching with equal ease. This spring he slumped at the bat end has been having his troubles get ting out of it. If at the opening of the season, rome one had suggested that before the race was one-third over Man ager Speaker would be sending in a substitute batter for Outfielder Speaker, the idea would have been ridiculed. Yet it so happened that Manager Speaker did that very thing.

In the final inning of the game with the Yankees, June 6, with a run needed to tie and a man on sec ond, George Uhle, hard hitting pitch er, was sent in to bat for Speaker. It was the first time in his long career as a major leaguer that a pinch-hitter swung for the great Tristam. Speaker put personal pride aside for the hope of victory. Ritchay Issues Call to Boys of Wisconsin Rapids First call to nil boys between the figes of 8 and 16 years was issued by Aaron Ritchay this morning In connection with the park board's summer recreational program. The boys are asked to congregate at the baseball diamond near the Lincoln high school on Monday afternoon about 2 o'clock.

At this time arrangements will be made for baseball leagues, basketball teams, and even teams for football, which will be played on cool clays. It is likely that any boy may enter more than one team, depending upon the number that turn out. Coach Ritchay calls attention to the fact that it is necessary for everyone to turn out so that some organization can be made. He believes that possible candidates "for teams at the high school next year may be developed, and will watch closely the individual performances. Atty.

Sometimes he may make quite a straight shot, but he is doing one of the very things that will prevent him doing so on the general run of play. The balance of the body cannot be well maintained when the feet shift about, and the blow must lack the punch that gets speed and distance on the ball.

One cannot hit the ball if the feet shift or if the left heel fails to down after the turn on the toe. Milwaukee, Wis. The long winning streak of the Brewers was ended temporarily yesterday when the weatherman intervened, forcing postponement of the second game in the series with Columbus. An enormous crowd was anticipated for this afternoon's affray, in which the Milwaukee team will attempt to make it eighteen straight victories. In other American association games, Indianapolis won the second game at Minneapolis, 10 to 7, the Kansas City Blues evened the series with Toledo, 5 to 3, and Louisville downed St.

Paul, 8 to 6. Race Becoming Tight Sluggers of the National league are bringing numerous moundsmen into the box scores in a seething race which finds only a few games separating first and sixth places. Twenty-four servers of all types and affiliations went into four struggles Friday, during which Chicago gained ground by stopping the Boston Braves' winning streak, which had extended to nine straight games. Smith and Graham permitted the Cubs 17 safe hits, two of them doubles, while the Bancroft eoterie could find Jones and Piercy for only seven. Yet Chicago had an uphill battle to win, 7 to 6, gaining the necessary margin with two scores in the eighth.

Phillies Down Pirates Russ Wrightstone of the Phillies was in a hitting way, being responsible for nine runs that this team scored in downing Pittsburgh, 13 to 11. His record showed a home run, triple and two doubles in six appearances at tfie plate. In each of the first three innings he batted in two runs. Aldridge, Culloton and Oldham of the world champions tried in turn to check the onslaught while Ulrich, Maun and Willoughby were called upon for Philadelphia. Each club sent five hurlers into the fray at Brooklyn which wen to Cincinnati, 8 to 6, after 11 inning, Rube Bressler sending the winning runs across with a triple.

Jess Petty, whose left handing has created somewhat of a sensation this season, left the -contest after 2 2-3 innings, with seven hits made off his delivery. Rixey, Lucas, May, and Donohue worked for the Reds, while Petty, was succeeded by McGrawv McWee-ney, Ehrhardt and Williams. Giants Beaten Again The Giants accepted a third straight beating from the St Louis Cardinals 10 to 2, with Vic Keen serving acceptably throughout for the westerners. Chick Davis, a southpaw, was pummelled unmercifully in the eighth and ninth, four runs being tallied in each inning. Wilbur Cooper, former Pirate and Cub, started his first game for Detroit in the American league, but the New York Yankees found him for fourteen blows in four innings and won the game, 9 to 3, with Shocker keeping eight safeties fairly well scattered.

Gernig of the Yankees had a perfect day at the bat with a double and three singles. Boston carried the St. Louis Browns to the tenth inning beforis accepting defeat, 4 to 3. After Durst and E. Robertson had tripled to tie the score in the ninth, the Browns filled the bases in the tenth and Mc-Manus singled for the winning score.

Th St. Lawrence club will tackle pretty stiff opposition when the team goes to Mosinee, for a tilt with the Mosinee city aggregation. The upstaters have been traveling in Drettv fast-comnanv.

Locke Intereting Figure Interest centered on Ronald Locke, Nebraska comet, and his effort to establish world records in the sprints. His outstanding challenger was Fred Alderman, of Michigan state, who set a meet recort of 21.7 for the 220-yard event in Friday's preliminaries after Locke had travelled the distance under wraps in 21.8 to tie the meet record held by Paulu of Grin-nell. The field was so saturated that preliminaries were abandoned in the field events. Running against a stiff wind, Locke travelled 100 yards Friday in 10.3 to qualify. The university of Southern California entered today's events a favorite for honors, with six qualifiers in the running events and a field brigade led by Houser, weight ace.

Illinois and Michigan each qualified four runners. Illini Golfer Leads Chicago, June 12 Ralph Kunstadter of the university of Illinois led contestants for the individual golf championship of the western conference as 25 players met at the first hole of the rain soaked Knollwood courfie today to decide the singles title. Knustadter made the 36 holes Friday in 158, competing in team play in which the university of Chicago isiDutes idea In determining the height of a batter's shoulder in order to properly judfte a pitcher's delivery, docs the umpire pay attention to the batsman who crouches in reaching his decision? If a batter purposely in a pinch, in an ef fort to throw the umpire and pitcher off, the official calling balls and strikes rules ball or strike accord ing to where he judges his shoulder would have been had he taken his normal position. On the other hand, batters who have a natural crouch in facing the pitcher and always hit from such a position, are given the same con sideration as the batter who assumes a straight-up posture. Joe Harris, hard-hitting utility man or the Washington club, has a crouch style at the plate, so did Harry Hooper, former White Sox star.

In calling balls and strikes on such batters the umpire takes their shoulder line from the crouch stance. But the batter who does it to confuse is given no consideration. What's Jimmy Goodrich's name D. E. A.
