TEN LINCOLN STATE JOURNAL. THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1936 Jack Medica Contributes First Swimming Triumph as Girls Sweep Diving TODAY'S GAMES. 1 OF HOI' RUNS STAUDiKG IS 0uULlr SHELLS LONE SERIES El EASY LEADER OTHER en Seattle Seal Lowers Mark Hung Up by Uto in Trials Monday. STAGE THRILLING FINISH BERLIN. UP).

A pair of last ditch battlers from the golden big Jack Medica of Seattle and little Margie Gestrlng of Los Angeles, took all the gold medals left unguarded around the Olympic swimming stadium Wednesday. Medica scored a sensational victory over the Japanese menace In the 400 meter free style championship, passing Shumpel Uto 20 meters from home to win by one length of his long arms In Olympic record making time of 4:45.5. Thirteen year old Margie dived like a blonde angel to beat her teammate, Katherine Rawls, In the springboard event after the Florida mite appeared to have the title In her grasp. With Miss Rawls second and Mrs. Dorothy Poyton Hill of Los Angeles third, America swept the top places In the second diving event In as many days, duplicating the blanket finish by Dick Deg-ener, Marshall Wayne and Al Greene In the men's springboard event Medica trailed the fleeting little Uto a full length when they turned Into the final 100 meters.

Probably no one among the 20,000 In the stadium except Medica thought he had any hope of overtaking the Tokyo terror. But when they hit the final turn 60 meters from home, the Washington star had reduced the deficit to half a length and gained still more with his powerful deep water kick off the wall. Down they came over the final stretch, Medica's long, steady strokes slowly and surely nar-rowine the ean despite Uto's des perate sprint while the crowd was yelling like maniacs. Twenty meters before the goal thev were even for an instant. Then Medica inched ahead and the race was over.

The Seattle seal's time lopped one second off the new Olympic record made by Uto two days ago. It was the second straight de feat for the Japanese in a race thev thought they had in the Dag. Uto was clocked In 4:56.6, Shozo Maklno, his teammate, 4:48.1, and then came Ralph Flanagan of Miami, fourth in 4:52.7 America's men and women backstrokers stayed strongly in the swim in their specialty or pe culiarity. Adolf Keifer, Chicago, looked like a dead cinch for the men's 100 meter crown as he won the first of five preliminary heats in 1:06.9, breaking George Kojac's Olympic mark of 1:08.2 that had stood since 1928 and also lowering the listed world record. Masaji Kiyokawa of Japan, who raced Kiefer right to the finish in 1:07.2 appeared his only serious rival.

Tavlor Drysdale, Detroit, hiring his heat In 1:09 flat, set the third fastest time. The third American, Al Vande Weghe of Paterson, N. reached the semi finals in second place In his heat, timed In 1:10.6. Alice Bridges of Uxbridge, and Edith Motridge Segal of Los Angeles Joined five others In the final of the women's 100 meter backstroke but second or third was about the best either could hope to attain in face of the record smashing times set by Dina Senff of Holland in two appear ances.

Three walks and a pair of hits followed and seven tallies rolled in before Lefty Eatmon, who had been summoned in from right field, could retire the side. rlph Connors, who went the nine for the Powers, was nicked for three blows In the opening inning but held the Mon archs without another single until the sixth.

He allowed only seven during the evening and wnitted six.

United States Authorities Maneuver to Check Foreign Skill. BERLIN. UP). American basket ball rules, including the much discussed elimination of the center tip, entered the world sports pic ture in a big way Wednesday night when the international basketball federation approved a set of rules presented by an American headed committee. As a result of this meeting, future Olympic basketball compe titions will be held under new regu lations which the United States delegation carefully maneuvered thru the federation in an effort to prevent foreigners who are new to the game from making the game too different from that played In America.

The federation also stamped its approval on the "10 second" rule, which waa installed in the United States to prevent stalling. Other new Olympic provisions included a demand for two officials for each game instead of one, and the displacement of the present basket by one with under braces.

SHUNT CHICAGO BACK Si Johnson Upholds Record Beating Cubs as Mates Utilize All Hits. MISTAKE PASSING MIZE ST. LOUIS. W. The pitching combination of Larry French and Clay Bryant held the St.

Louis Cardinals to five nits weanesaay, but two of them were home runs that sent the Chicago Cubs down to second place In defeat, 5 to 3. Chicago, led by Franit Demaree with four hits and Ken O'Dea with three, failed lamentably to take advantage of 14 safeties off SI Johnson, formerly or Cincin nati and Toronto, making his first start for St. Louis. The Cards, on the other hand, wasted only one of their five hits, single by Johnny Mize. Joe Medwlck doubled to start the second inning, went to third on an Infield out and scored the first St.

Louis run on Virgil Davis' long fly. In the fourth, he came thru with a 374 foot homer. After Terry Moore has singled in the sixth, Charlie Grimm believed it wise strategy to walk Medwlck. Mize's answer was a towering home run. Demaree opened the Cubs sec- ond Inning with a single, but O'Dea forced him.

Augie Galan followed with a single and it took another safe hit by Phil Cavar- retta to produce a run. Chicago a second tally came the seventh on Ethan Allen's dou ble and Stan Hack's single. Three successive singles by Demaree, O'Dea and Galan brought the final run, but it took fine fielding by the Cards to pre vent more. When O'Dea tried to score on Bill Jurges long fly, Moore cut him down at the plate with a perfect throw to Davis for a double play, the only one of the game.

Paul Amon, Lincoln, played first baae for the "World Champion" team of the United States Olympic baseball squad that won the Intm-squad fame 8 to Wednesday night.

BERLIN, Aug. 12. UP). The largest crowd ever to see a baseball game in Europe of the United States fully 100,000 Wednesday night jammed the Olympic stadium and watched two obscure American amateur teams play a demonstration game. The "World Champions" and the Olympics," both picked from the American Olympic baseball squad, played for seven Innings, the Champions winning, 615.

Only a handful in the vest crowd had any idea who was playing or cared who won. But the Germans were eager to learn something about the game which, according to travelers returning from the United States, annually drives the Americans into strange paroxysms of atheletic enthusiasm. The Newspapers have been talking about baseball" for days. The Germans liked the way the umpire yelled, "bawl one, bawl two! -He got a laugh until it got monotonlus. Twice a- great cheer shook the stadium, once when the announcer said there would be a review of Thursday's military demonstration after the game, and again when he announced that the next innig would be the last.

Nevertheless, the great throng stood at attention and saluted when "The Star Spangled Ban ner" was played at the close of the game, which lasted even In nings. Les McNeece, Fort Laud erdale, hit a home run for the Champs In the seventh and Hubert Shaw, University of Maine captain, one for the Olympics with one on in the first.
