Not so long ago Thomson set a worlds record for the 30 yards hurdles at the Mi1lrose games in New York when he topped the fences in the re- nrarlla1ble time of 10 18th seconds, de- feating at the time the former na- tional champion, Harold Barron of Philadelphia. Thomson is a marvel in the 120 yard hurdle event, too. In the recent Penn Relay games Thomson | raced to victory in this event over l Walker Smith of Cornell by a, scant | margin outclassing at the same time, | them JIch-hera1ded Jeppe of England. 1 Thomson, demonstrated his ''all

 gathered IS points, single-handed. A
 week later against Columbia, Thom-
 son increased the total to 20. In this l meet Earl accounted for both hurdle
 events. the high jump, and the broad l jump.
 An idea of an average Thomson all l around' performance may be gleaned

CARPENTER MAY
 FIGHT I,EVINSKY
 TO A DECISION
French Idol May See Worlds e Championship in Beating
 Light Heavyweight.

If, as announced, Jack Curley, pro- moter of the proposed boxing match between Battling Levinsky ana Georges Carpenter, contemplatea staging the dispute in New York as a compliment to the American me- tropolis, the people of Greater Ne" York will doubtless feel duly inn pressed. It is added that MT. Cur ley will do this great favor for New
 York despite the fact that Atlantic City, Boston, Baltimore and points in Jersey, Connecticut and Idaho are frantically beseeching the promoter to name his own terms. Incidentally. the intimation is given that Curley looks with favor on the New York ve1odrome, which is to be, when completed, at 225th street and Broadway. It is quite possible by the time Gov. Smith appoints box ing commission, and if such is the case there will be no spehial objec- ton to staging it at the Velodrome.
 The zchief benefit to accrue from holding the bout in New York would be the fact that it would be a fifteen round contest to a decision, and there would be no chance for either con testant to do anything but box on his merits. As Carpenter holds the light heavyweight championship of Europe, Levinsky, who is the Amer1- can title holder, could capture .ne worlds honors by outpointins the F'renchman in a fifteen round bout. By the same token, if Carpenter should win he would become the worlds champion. If he thereafter met and defeated Dempsey for the heavyweight title, the Frehchma an then would hold two worlds titles simultaneously, something no boxer has ever before accamp plished.

TANKS REACH TOP RUNG OF LADDER

When Cleveland Defeats St. Louis Place Is Also Made -

The Yankees were the leaders in the American League pennant parade for short time yesterday afternoon. Another outburst of heavy hitting such as featured the steady advance Of the. Hugmen last week buried the Philadelphia Athletics under 12 to defeat at the Polo Grounds, and Iris Speakers Indians at the same time were takinig the dust of the St. Louis Browns. Then the Indians came back with a victory and the Yankees are now sharing their place at the front with the Cleveland crowd
 A gathering of 30,O0O fans turned out to view the proceedings and they saw the Yankees in two wild out bursts which settled the old ball game in exactly two innings. Those who regard trip to the Polo Grounds as useless unless Babe Ruth Smacks one for jaunt around the hassocks had little reason to regreat the journey even though the Yankee blunderbuss didn't deliver a circuit slam.

tCopyrisht, 1920. by The Wheeler Syn dicate. Incl
 : Of an the men who will try to equal Martin J. Sheridans great all-around athletic performance at Athens in 1906 no one appears to have a better chance than Earl Thompson, the stall wart Canadian who sports the green of Dartmouth College. Thomson, a1- though a. Canadian, developed his towering athletic prowess in the United States. We rate him as one of the greatest athletes seen here in a decade, and the U. S.. be it under ,,stood, developes the finest of ath- fetea Thomson, however, will com pete for his homeland, Canada, szeainst Uncle Sam
 Versatile as Thomson is, athlet- lica11y, it is possible that he will not .tcome through in the pentathlon and deca4hlon which are the "all around events. He has some mighty keen op- position to contend with. But the .sturiy Earl is almost certain to reg tster points in the hurdles and he will Eepresent the strong element in the Canadian relay team

from his efforts against Columbia when compared with worlds records. Against the blue and white Thomson registered 15 and 4-5th seconds for
 the 12O yard high hurdles Forrest
 Smithson'S mark for this event made
 in 1908 was 15 seconds flat. In the 220
 yard low hurdles Thomson was
 clocked in 26 3-5th seconds. Kraenz-
 lein and Wendell put the worlds mark
 at g 3-5th seconds. Thodnsonss run ming high jump mark was feet, 8 inches. The worlds mark of Horine is 6 feet, in Thomson's best leap in the running broad was 21 feet, g inches. O'Connor's record is 24 feet, Il 3-4 inches made in England in 1901. It can be seen that against the | marks of all these specialists in one event, Thomson, racing from one | event to another, scores marks which
 do not suffer badly in comparison, and in his own speciality, the 120 yard i hurdles, is but 45th of a second worse | than the worlds mark.

 Babes blue ribbon effort yesterday was nothing more than the longest drive that ever was made inside the Harlem field. With Pipp on second base in the first inning Babe crashed into one of Scott Perry's offerings and the ball kissed the carpet about yard from the fence in centre field where the bleacher fence is farther est from the plate. The Mack outheld was playing far back for the Yankee fence buster. as is customary these days, and that was the sole reason for Babe being compelled to pul1<up at third base. The ball hit the fence on a short bound and Welsh recovered it and returned it fast enough to make the hit three-bagger. Ruth got as l much applause for the slam as he would have drawn for one of his
