Two runners lapped the field. John K. Anderson, former Cor. nell track captain, competing the New Yotk A. won the dig.

cus throw with a tos of 156 feet 6 inches, but he was Ineligible for the prize and championship because of the fiix months' rule. The winning distance bettered the championship mark of 148 feet inch sf-t last year by Harry Schneider of the A. A. Schneider placd second to Anderson yesterday and bettered his' own fecord mark. Louis Gregory of Ithaca, national six-mile champion, captured the Metrololitan A.

A. U. title at that distance In the Yankee Stadium, New York, Saturday, rnd set a new record in turning the trick. Gregory ped the six miles in 30:27, coming within seven seconds of Hanncs Kolehmalnen'B American record and bettering the meet mark of 31:55, set by Ove Anderson' in 1927. Gregory won by six yards from his Millrose A.

A. teammate. Eino Pentti. Vaughn of the New York A. C.

was third, and Spong of the Finnish-American A. C. fourth. Gregory's victory over Pentti With the exception of this, only three U-E batters in an inning went to the plate. The Red and Gold left seven men on bases during the game, three of them on third base.

Ithaca scored its run in the fourth inning Backner and Solomon walked in succession, Howe struck out, and Flynn banged one to Meiss, on first base, who dropped it, Backner scoring and Solomon going to third base. Flynn went out, Starch to Mitchell, in a steal attempt that was to have scored Solomon, but the Ithaca center fielder, whose base running was none too prepossessing on another occasion, stayed on third base. 1 Ithaca almost scored in the second inning. Backner, first up, grounded out, but Solomon knocked out- a sizzling eingle through short stop to reach first base. He was caught between first and second a moment later.

Howe, the next Ithaca batter, went to first on Van Etten's error, and was pushed to second on Flynn's Texas Leaguer to right field. McNamara struck out to end the ining with the two on base.

The Orange, with the aid of the five runs it scored In that inning, won, 8-1.

Three weeks ago, Ithaca defeated U-E, 11-3. The blowup in the third inning spoiled a good game. Lefty Stuart, pitching for Ithaca, scattered six hits through eight innings and struck out 10; Johnson, pitching for the Orange, allowed eight and struck out 12 in nine innings. The Union-Endicott outfiet made two errors during the game, and the Red. outside of its one disastrous inning, none.

That one inning saw nine go to. the plate, four go to first base on errors, and five score. Zappia opened by hitting to second base safely. He attempted to steal second, and Macali's throw to Mc-Namara was perfect, but the second baseman dropped the ball. George bunted to Stuart, and the pitcher overthrew first base, George going to second and Zap-pk.

to third. Mitchell hit to Backner, who threw to Macali to catch Zappia attempting to score. Macali dropped the ball, the Orange runner scored, and George went to third. Johnson hit through McNa-ninra's legs, George scored, Mitchell went to third and tried to reach home. Solomon's throw to Macali was again dropped, Mitchell tallied and Johnson went to second.

He scored on Starch's single to left center field. Trainor bobbed Paden's grounder, and Starch went to second. A double steal attempt sent the latter to third, but Paden was caught going to second. Starch scored on Meiss' single, and the fifth run crossed the plate. Stuart went out in the next inning to strike out one batter and send the other two to the bench on easy flies, but it was too late.

The Orange's last run, in the eighth inning, was earned. Standings By Th Airle! ITfM The House of David baseball team returned to Ithaca yesterday to defeat the Agecos, 15-5. For the For the first fiveshrdl For the first five Innings the fans took a worse licking than the downtrodden Agecos. After getting a five run lead in the first the be-whiskered nine went out in rapid order to get in the necessary AVu innings before the contest was rained out. As it was they had just completed their exhibition pepper game at the end of the fifth when rain began to fall.

However, the game was finally completed. Mike Leach started on the mound for the Ithaca club and his slants were no mystery to the boys from Benton Harbor. They plastered him for fivJ runs in the first, three in the third and gathered six more in the sixth off Mike and Wallace who relieved him. The Agecos scored four times in U. S.

Lou, striding for the Millrose A.

captured the event at the Metropolitan A. A. U. games tn the Yankee Stadium Saturday, smashing the record, and qualifying for further trials for the American Olympic team. Lou, who has been training under Coach Jack Moakley of- Cornell, will leave for Boston this week for further Olympic trials.

He's slated to appear there Friday- and Saturday. Gregory clipped more than a full minute off the record in winning over a teammate, Eino Pentti, a Finn, Saturday, Gregory said today "I had to." He won by six yards in a stretch sprint. Johnny Anderson, former Cornell track captain, is another outstanding candidate for the Olympic team. He was with. the 1928 contingent at Amsterdam and placed fourth in the discus.

This year he has been hurling the platter well out in trials and he has won two meets on two successive Saturdays with tosses around 161 and 156 feet. The Varsity Shift Cornell oarsmen went out on the Hudson for a workout yesterday, with the varsity ranks considerably changed. The squad left Ithaca Saturday night and arrived at Highland, across the river from Pough-keepsie, early yesterday morning. Coach James Wray spent last week experimenting a bit and the tests produced two exchanges of seats and one replacement. Schroe der gave way Dreyer, a junior varsity oarsmah, at bow.

To gain a better balance in the varsity shell, Wray exchanged Williams and Garber and Ives and Parsons. Whiteside, Thomas Share First Place In Golf Tournament II. E. Whiteside and W. T.

Beca'use the Orange and Black always Is ifficult for Yale in Princeton and because of the Blue's close call in the opening contest of the series at New Haven two days ago, the men of Capt.

Eddie Warren are no more than even choices to win the game and the title. As a result of a thrilling 12-in-ning triumph over the Tigers by 5 to 4 in the opener, Yale today stands assured of at least one half of the league title. The Elis have a record of seven victories ar.d two defeats against Columbia's final record of seven games won" and three lost. Johnny Broaca, Yale pitching star, gives the Blue whatever margin some observers credit to the Elis. Yale won Saturday's game directly as a result of free bases after Princeton twice had prodded Broaca for runs late in the game.

After three Princeton hits and a. steal had produce two in the 12th, the Tigers seemed safe, but Charley Williamson broke up the game in Yale's favor some moments later after an error had permitted one run and the bases had been filled by free tickets. Williamson's drive to left center was his fourth hit of the day. Hank Barber of Dartmouth now stands virtually in possession of the Charles Hildreth Blair bat, emblematic of the individual championship. Only Borger of Princeton has any chance to surpass the .500 record of the Dartmouth first baseman, and Borger would have to get six hits in six attempts to turn the trick.

Broaca clinched the strike-out laurels Saturday by fanning 12 Tigers to increase his string to 57, five more than Ray White's mark.

They have passed 52 feet, at least a half dozen of them, sinve the last Olympics, and it my take a 53-foot heave to capture the world championship and a new record at the games in Los Angeles. John Kuck, the big Kansas farmer lad, launched the first 52-foot shotput to win the 1928 Olympic crown. This world record stood less than, two months. After he returned home, jEmil Hirschfeld of Germany, who had trailed Kuck as well as Herman Brix, in the Olympics, got off a toss of 52 feet IVz inches. Since then, Brix, the former University of Washington star; Harry South African giant; Leo Sexton, former Georgetown all-around athlete, and Franz Douda of Czecho-Slovakia, all have come at least within a half dozen inches of 53 feet.

Hart, in fact, is credited with a practice heave of 53 feet 3 inches, -but his best competitive mark is considerably less. With the leather-covered indoor shot, Sexton let go a put of 52 feet 8 inches at Boston last winter. The cable dispatches this spring credited Douda with exceeding Hirschfeld's world -record by a fraction of an inch. Brix holds the official "American outdoor record, 52 feet 5 inches. The chances, therefore, are that WHAT SHALL I OM, YOAN- WHAT Wli SAY 't LOVE TO AN Rock Salts Beat Auburn Gracefos With lSBingles The Rock Salts defeated the Auburn Gracefos, 15-3, in a newspaper league game at South Lansing yesteray.

The Miners collected 18 hits from the offerings of Murphy and C. Hoey. Strayvea, pitching for the Salts, held the visitors to three hits. Mc-Keon, Miner catcher, led the hitting attack with four blows in five trips. The score by innings: Rock Salts 200 054 30x 15 18 4 Gracefos 210 000 000 3 3 1 Murphy, C.

and Savage; Strayves and McKeon. With 4 6 hits in 114 tidies at bat. Hack Culbreth of the Charlotte Club in the Piedmont League is hating over .400. The 1932 St. Louis open golf tournament involved prizes totaling $150, as against $10,000 put up for the 1930 event.

NEXT? STARTLED DEER. HE LEAPTS the U. S. A. will have to call upon its stalwarts for some fancy heaving to maintain traditional Yankee supremacy in this test of strength and skill.

Sexton, Brix and Harlow Rothert, former Stanford athlete, should do the lieavy work for the U. S. A. Except for 1920, when a brace of Finns. Porhola and Niklander, topped the list, our shotputters usually have -had a monopoly.

It was Houser, Hartranft nd Hills in 1924, Kuck and Brix in 1928. Back in 1912, another American sweep was featured by the struggle of titans, Tat McDonald, the New York policeman, and Ralph Rose, former University- of Michigan giant, now dead. Rose for years held the world record of 51 feet. He was striving for a third Olympic title at Stockholm but his mightiest effort was mable by a narrow margin to match the put of 50 feet 3 inches which game "McDonald an Olympic record. Bernie Neis, new playing manager of the Knoxville Southern League baseball team, once scored from second on a sacrifice bunt toward first.
