(Continued from Page 11) battle tomorrow, the tournament seemed to be perfectly set ud for a record-breaking melodramatic finish. -The National Open record of 286, set by Charles (Chick) Evans Chicago amateur, in 1916, and equalled by Gene Sarazcn In 1932, appeared certain to crash before the unprecedented par-shattering barrage.

With a new record In sight, the champion who will set it might be any one of 20 or more players. Twelve players cracked par two less than yesterday on to-. days second round. The tee-markers were moved bark today, adding nn estimated 150 yards to the course over the first day, but the added failed to smother the assault on P- THREE BIRDIES Officials announced that the tee-markers will be moved back still farther tomorrow, but It seems that nothing can atop the mad scoring in this tournament. In stroking out his 70 today, Ghezzi showed championship courage.

He was over par on only one hole -the 439-yard sixteenth -and made three birdies. Only one of the nine ex-cham-plons in the tournament failed to qualify. Ha was the Defend- Ing Champion Sam Parka Jr who shot his second 76 today for a 3 6-hole total of 152, one stroke over the qualifying limit. GALLANT FINISH The other former titleholders came some them by the akin of their teeth. Olin Dutra, 1933 champion, and Chick Evans, 1916 champion, just got in with 151a.

Johnny Farrell, who won the title in 1928 after a play-off with Bobby Jones, and Tommy Armour, who won it in 1927 after a play-off with Harry Cooper, had 150s. The leadqr of the ex-champions was Walter Hagen; who made gallant finish on the second lw today to get 72 for a 36-hole total of 146. Hagen went out in 38, two over par, and then ripped off three 'birdies coming home on the eleventh, twelfth and fifteenth to keep In the running. WOOD BLOWS UP Sarazen, twice champion, qualified with 147. Billy Burke, 1931 champion, and Johnny Goodman.

1933 champion, got in with 148's. The big blowup today was staged by Craig Wood, who was snapping at the heels of the leaders at the end of the first day with a 71. He took an 80, six over par, today, and just barely qualified with 151. ANEW prospect loomed oa the horizon yesterday as Dusky Bryant Allen stepped the 190 and 229-yard dashes la the astonishing times of 9.8 and 20.9 seconds to lend his Jefferson High School teammatfs to its second consecutive Southern League crown In a meet held oa the Huntington 'Park High cinder path. In winning the meet Jefferson scored 58 digits to be followed by Manual Arts with 46; Polytechnic, 27; Washington, 19; Fremont, 17; Huntington Park seven, and San Pedro foyr.

In that order. The winning team placed 11 men in nine events and the runner-up had 13 qualifiers In nine events with both squads placing' relay teams for the city championship finals. Jefferson got off a Dying tart in the (Igfftr team honors with. Its sprinting trio, composed of Allen, Miller and Salo, In which Allen ran the century in 94 second a In the furlong, Allen again was the victor in the excellent tlmo of 20.9 sec-ondA CLOCKED IN 204 Allen's effort' in the furlong overshadowed his time for the shorter race, as one of the official timers had him clocked in 20.6 seconds, a mark that would have beaten the world's interscholastic record of 20.7 seconds, held by Jeaae Owens. The 440-yard run, ns expected, turned out to be the 'best rant of the day with Miller scoring his second win of the season over Bradley, Polys city and Southern California champ, la the record time of 494 seconds.

Miller, starting in the pole position, sprinted into the lead at the beginning to win by some five yards Bradley, not to be outdone, came back to the broad jumping pit to get off leap of 23 feet 9 inches, to break a tie with Salo, who copped second at 22 feet 6 inches The Tollers' matched the Dem ocrats sprinting efforts by nabbing first and second places in the shotpnt and pole vaulting events with Martin and Roberts tying for first la the pole vault at 12 feet, 5 kchts. Shaw won the bulb tossing event with a heave of .48 feet 11 Inches. FAST DISTANCE RACES a of Jefferson, won the half-mile contest in the good time of 2:004 seconds and Kenny. Le-Barts, Washingtons leather-lunged performer, copped the mile by some 50 yards in the good time of 4:42 seconds. Another world Interscholastic mark was threatened when Jeffersons eight-man-mile relay crew won their event in 2:58.8.

The world standard of 2:58.4 is held by the 35 Jefferson baton passing Squad. In other high caliber performances, Pi nicy Fremont won the 220-yard low hurdles in 24.2 seconds and another teammate, Francis, nabbed the 120-yard high sticks In 15.7 seconds, while Aigy Landry, Jefferson, won the high jumping title nt 6 Urt. The Flrrone squad was formally slated to tangle with the Ban Pedro Merchants but the schedule was altered yesterday, and the Camp Bagues nine was substituted. The cafefan will rave the services of Hughie McMullin, former Angel catcher, and Lyman Smith, a hard hitting, outfielder, who were signed this week in an effort to Improve the batting strength of the dub. A1 De Hoag, former Occidental Colleg twlrler, will pitch for Pir- rone.

Ten years ago he used to make 11 speeches Last spring two nodules were cut from Hitlers vocal chorda; There Is talk another operation la Imminent Id like to stack some guys that I know np against this Hitler. They are sonOvaguns for a talk.

For long distance talking, I' should pit Scotty Chisholm against him, for I once heard Scotty make 14 speeches at one banquet In presenting a plaque tb a former member of the state athletic commission. For 1 a should select Glgham Rooney, the boxing-manager. Once HI ward Langley, formerly, of our I sports department, and 1 determined Bumptiously to test Rooneys speed, when be came up to the office to tqll us about a new fighter he had. Langley was equipped with stop watch and mechanical docker. We checked him in at 225 words a minute for high.

Langleys thumb finally wore out, but the average was around .198 words per minute for half aa hour. For volume 1 should pick Jerry Pidge, the veteran sports writer, and for fortissimo Lou Daro talking over a long distance telephone. If theae chaps ever got any nodules cut out, Uwsy me, what a time we auditors are gonna have. Red Badge of Courage GEGE GRAY ANTE'S display of gameness the other night at the Olympic in his losing fight with Glen Lee, is still the talk of Spring street. Naturally, the lad's assimilation of punishment and his failure to stay down when Lee had him on the deck, only' to come hack like a whirlwind in the latter stages; brought to memory many another exhibition of first magniture in the prize.

ring. t. Joa Waterman, the Olympic matchmaker, thinks-the red badge of courage should be bestowed upon Eugene CriquI. the war-shot Frenchman, who became featherweight champion of the waq In Brisbane, Australia, March 19, 1921, with Dedo'Cabanela, probably the -greatest of Filipino when he and CriquI, who had just come from France, tangled In what was to be a 20-rounder. Crlqule jaw had been shot away la the war and the clever French surgeons grafted a part of his shinbone Into the mission pprtion.

It grew strong enough to withstand the severest shocks In the fifth round the Filipino gave CriquI a terrific beating. He split his Ups, knocked out several teeth and had bis eyes nearly closed: Waterman aays the Frenchman was a gory light as he went down for the third time. His second threw in the towel in token of surrender. Rising unsteadily on his feet and with the towel in his hand, CriquI heaved it right back at his second. The bell rang.

That Was courage of the rarest sort Well, to make it short, CriquI went on without further interference and in the fourteenth round scored a technical knockout over Dencio. Australia Produced Fighters HERES a letter from an old-timer, Jim Perry, 643 South Downey road, which la aelf-explanatory: Bh: Your column today gives the names of a great many xnen I knew. It wss good to have them recalled. Jim Slavin I knew In London, then In Dawaoh. Mizner and Rex Beach I knew in Nome I fought a few rimes in Australia, London, New Zealand and finished up in Nome in 1903 for the heavyweight championship.

That was a kick. I was aU washed up. I won the fight twice, but all I got was a draw In 20 rounds Everyone connected with that fight is dead but myself. I went to sen for a good many years and traveled all over the world. Australia nt that rime was the renter of boxing.
