The Wheatley Stable's Unique was third, another three lengths to the bad.

Top Flight's victory furnished Jockey Sonny Workman with his fourth successive triumph of the afternoon.

In High, racing for the Dixiana stud of Charles Fischer, scored In a driving finish over C. C. Van Meter's Red Whisk in the thirty-first running of the Bashford Manor Stakes at Churchill Downs. Red Whisk, undefeated In two starts, had been hailed as the outstanding juvenile prospect of the West and was a 6-to-5 favorite in the betting. In High Jumped to the fore at the start and led all the way, although he was doing his best to stall off Red Whisk's belated rush at the finish.

R. W. Collins' Levaal was third. In High ran the five furlongs in 1:00 2-5, fastest time for the distance of the meeting. He paid $11.20 for $2.00 to win.

LOUIS YOUTH SETS DASH MARK Jimmy Owen, 17 Years Old, Steps Century in 9.6 ST. LOUIS, May 14 (A. Jimmy Owen, a long-legged boy, less than 18 years old, unofficially broke the world interscholastic 100-yard record here today, doing the stretch in 96 seconds. This equals the American record. Owen not only broke a record, but turned the eyes of the track world his way, as an Olympic prospect for 1936, when he will be 21 years old.

Running in the St. Louis County High School track meet toady, Owen was timed by seven watches. Three caught him In 95 seconds, two in 9.6 and one In 9.7.

HURONS AGAIN PICKED TO WIN State Thinclads May Extend Ypsi EAST LANSING. May 14 Mich igan's Intercollegiate track and field season will reach the climax here next Saturday afternoon when a dozen or more teams will send athletes onto the turf and cinders of the Michigan State College Stadium to seek victory in the sixteenth annual staging of the State meet. The two-day affair will attract entries from every major institution of learning in the State with the exception of the university. Preliminaries will be held in nine of the 15 events and finals in all Saturday afternoon. Michigan Normal College of Ypsilanti, defending champion, will rule as the favorite to win the premier honors.

Michigan State and Western State will make strong bids with the Spartans generally favored to give the titleholders the closest race. One of these three have held the title every year since the meet's Inception In 1917. Mich igan State has a big lead on the field, having triumphed on nine occasions. Normal has won five times and Western State twice. Hurons Again Strong Another versatile array of star material promises to put the Ypsilanti team out ahead of the field.

Coach Lloyd Olds' team has tasted only one setback this year, being nosed out for the Central Inter collegiate Indoor title at South Bend last Maroh. All dual meet rivals have been conquered by the Hurons. State's record was brightened considerably and its chances of giving the Ypsilanti Teachers a run for their money ennancea oy the surprising dual meet victory over Notre Dame University here this spring. Results of meets staged earlier this year indicate that several records are In danger. At least three are almost certain to fall.

Both Wescott of Normal and Bath of State have been stepping over the high hurdles In much better time than the record of :15.3 established by Edwin Spence of Detroit City in 1927. Beatty of Normal and Liberty of State have been clocked under the low hurdle record of 24 seconds, which was also made by Spence the same year. Glickert of Normal is almost a sure bet to beat the 6 foot Inch high jump record made by Nelson Schrier of Western State last year. Glickert has cleared 6 feet 3 Inches in meets. Schrier Is also to be here for another try.

Leroy Dues, Detroit City College entry, should eclipse his own mark of 46 feet 9 inches In the shot put. Borton, of Alma College, threatens to break the dis cus throwing record of 137 feet 11 Inches made by Dell Alman of Nor mal in 1927. Keast Has Improved Capt. Rha Arnold of Normal and Roger Keast, Michigan State Col lege sophomore, should put on a close race in the quarter mile and may better the time of :48.9 made by Bohn Grime of State in 1927. Keast placed second in a recent race that Alex Wilson, great Notre Dame star, won in :48.8.

Keast was only a stride behind Wilson. Next week will find the Michigan State College baseball team enjoy ing a rest from a schedule tnat nag been extremely strenuous for the early season. Ohio University of Athens, will provide the team with its only game of the week on Thursday. University of Detroit golfers are due here Monday afternoon to play their postponed match witn tne State mashie wielders. The Spartans have not won a match this year and seem doomed to fall be-for the Titans.

The tennis Bquad will co to Detroit next Friday to meet City College and return Sat urday to entertain Notre JJame. IRON MOUNTAIN HIGH WINS TITLE ON TRACK ESCANABA.

LAKE SAILORS WILL BE TESTED Long Distance Race Plans Set for Bay Inter-Lake Yachting Association officials will give the sailors on the lower lakes a real test of their ability on the night of July 6 when the Association stages Its long distance race from Put-In-Bay to Lorain, O. and return as a feature event of the Inter-Lake regatta to be held at the Bay, July 6-10. The start has been set for 6 o'clock in the evening opposite the Perry Memorial monument. The date calls for a moonless night so that within an hour and a half after the start the landmarks 'will be lost In the night and the skippers will have to trust entirely to their navigating skill. The turning mark will be located a half mile off shore at Lorain where judges will check each boat as it rounds.

It is 37.5 miles from the start. The scheduled distance is 75 miles which may be reduced with favorable conditions and by sailing through the scattered islands. -It is likely that the actual dis tance sailed, will be greater. Ratlr.gs similar to those given the Mackinac Race entrants will be used, based on a 75-mile course. Sunrise is given at 4:35 a.

m. the following day and should the sky be clear, it is posible that the craft will follow the shore on the way back to pick up shore breezes which may result under certain conditions. This would -bring them back into the Bay from the northwest. No requirements for the return trip have been set and the skippers will have a variety of courses to choose. The event, according to local skippers, will be the best test of navigating and sailing skill that ever has been offered the local yachtsmen.

W. JSDGAB Beat Trident! These two words presage one of the greatest sailing seasons ever known on the Lower Lakes. And that la taking in quite a bit of water. But wherever you go, In the sailors' grills of the various clubs or on the docks as the sailors complete their fltting-out for the regatta season, the one expression that Is sure to greet you is: Beat Trident! What does it mean? Well, the answer Is found in the record compiled by the Bayview syndicate ship. The big black-hulled craft was built two years ago especially for the 240-mile race to Mackinac.

It was designed with the hope of winning the long haul and keeping the championship cup in the little yacht club at the foot of Clairpointe Ave. When it was launched there were many who looked upon the ship as an experiment and few considered it equal to the task of beating out such established contenders as Tom Archer's Barbette; Howard Grant's Suez; Percy Williamson's Charlyn and several others. Trident Repeats Victory But what happened? When the -boats reached port at Mackinac and the official statisticians figured time allowances, the Trident was declared the winner. It was a master stroke and helped to keep alive the interest in the long race over Lake Huron. In spite of the victory there was a feeling in some quarters that the Trident had won on a fluke that Is to say, it merely was lucky in encountering favorable winds.

Its niche had not yet been carved. That was to come later. Last year when the boats swept across the starting line off Lake Side at Port Huron, the Trident was considered no better than a possible contender. There were many who figured the Bayview ship could not repeat. No other boat ever had won the race two successive years and only one, the Barbette, has succeeded in winning the race on two occasions.

So there was some fact to the reasoning of those wise in affairs of the lakes. Two days later, when the time allowances were computed in the little race tent hard by the main street on Mackinac Inland, It was Trident that was adjudged the win ner and hailed as one of the great est sailing vessels ever to plough its way through the somewhat turbulent waters of Lake Huron. Wins All-Nlght Raca Added to this success, the Trident showed the way to all others In the Bayview Club's All-Night race, one of the most severe tests in sailing. The rival sailors were astounded. And they had reason to be.

It is the memory of these victories that has stilled up a feeling along the docks that this string of triumphs must be ended. The sailors realize that Trident must be beaten if Interest is to remain at a high pitch, otherwise the Mackinac Race and the Bayview All-Nlght affair will become known as the Trident's races. That's the reason Ted Bayview commodore, is busily engaged to get his schooner Nawanna into ship. He would like to beat Trident, though the defending champion, is a sister ship in the DETROIT WOLVES WIN ON HOME RUN Suttles' Blow in Fourteenth Beats Grays, 5-4 Big George Suttles pounded out a home run in the fourteenth inning to give the Detroit Wolves their second consecutive victory over the Homewood Grays in an East-West Negro League game at the Hamtramck Stadium, Saturday afternoon, 5 to 4. Lefty Williams, Wolves' pitcher, was hit hard by the Grays in the early innings, but the invaders could do little with Trent In the later stages.

Suttles' single scored Bell with the tying run in the ninth. In tne thirteenth, the Wolves had a chance to win the game but Salmon struck out Wells with the winning run on third. The same teams will meet In a doubieheader Sunday, the first game scheduled for 2 clock. Hnmrw'4 AIOIOOOI 1QOAOO 14 4 HoItm ee i i 3 i aiii Mallnrk. Salmon and Elflrton; William.

Farnsworth Is the only Detroit Yacht Club skipper uib uib year ui wie lata wnu has been able to lead the fleet in the Mackinac event. He won it several years ago with the little schooner Viking. Now he would like to win the event for Bayview.

Barbette Doubtful Starter Tom Archer's Barbette, the only other two-time winner, has not yet been fitted out and is not considered a likely starter in the long haul. But Howard Grant, a perennial challenger with his big schooner, Suez II, is of the firm conviction that this is his year. He won the first Mackinac event and never has been able to repeat. Aside from these veteran tars, Is Dr. J.

W. Vaughan, commodore of the Inter-Lake Yachting Association, who is eager to crown his biggest year in sailing by piloting the big schooner. Red Arrow, of the Detroit Boat Club fleet, to victory. These are just a few of the veteran skippers set on that one ambition a desire to beat Trident in the major race of the approaching sailing season.
