Four Chicago interscholastic records were
broken and one equalled despite the rather
heavy condition Of the track caused by the
incessant rains. After the early events the
rain ceased and, despite the fact that the
sun failed to shine, the conditions were
conducive to good performances.
Byrd of Milford set a new record when
he hurled the discus 126 feet 2b inches, and
bettered the old mark by 3% inches. Cow
ley of Muskegon reduced his own mark in
the mile from 4:Se to 4:S3h. The record in
the two-mile received a terrific cutting OF
the hands Of Marks of Beloit, when he
sliced It from 1928 to $685.. Woodbury..
the Central High athlete OF Kansas City,
ran the low hurdles in 0:25#, topping one
fifth OF a second from the old record.
Byrd of Milford, ILL.,, was the individual
star OF the meet, as he scored 1914 points
by his own Individual efforts. He won the
shot-put and the discus throw and tied for
first with two others In the high jump.
Woodbury., Central High, Kansas City, was
second in Individual performances by scor-
ing III points. He won the high and low
hurdles and tied for second with three
others In the pole-vault.

POWERS ORDER
SHIPS TO CRETE
Situation Which Recently Appeared
About to Be Settled Presents New
Indications of Impending
Serious Conflict
(By Associated press.) }

LONDON. Aug. IA peaceful settle
ment of the Cretan situation appeared
practically to have been secured last
week through the Intervention of the
four protecting powers. The situation
is again disturbing, however, and a
naval demonstration will be made. The
young Turks party plainly mistrusts
the present Turkish ministry and fears
that Turkey will lose the suzerainty OF
Crete as she has lost that of Bulgaria.
This feeling has led to a strong move
ment among the Albanlans against the
Turkish government and to a serious
boycott against Greek >trade.
AT the same time the population of
Crete has shown such strong Greek
sympathies as to induce Crete to defy
the order of the protecting powers
Great Britain, France, Italy and Rus
sia-to haul down the Greek flag, which
was raised when the troops of the
powers recently evacuated the island
AS a result of this latter difficulty the
situation has again become acute.
The powers have ordered warships to
Crete and probably will reoccupy the is
land in order to force compliance with
their wishes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-Califor-
MAS direct primary law, which was
enacted at the last session of the legis-
lature, will be given it's first practical
test here Tuesday, when voters Will
make selections from host of candl-
dates of the men who will carry party
standards in the fall campaign. With
the exception of superior judges and
justices of the peace, a fun city ana
county ticket will be elected in Novem-

The direct primary appears to have
brought forward larger classes of can
didates than have figured in previous
elections, and while the actual cam
paign has been somewhat shortened,
considerable activity has been mani
tested by the aspirants and their
friends.
There has been an effort to revive
organization work by some of the prac-
tical politicians who have figured in
past campaigns, but bosses and fac
tions have been widely scattered
through repeated failures following the
advent of Abraham Ruef and Eugene
