Harvey Camps home run was the only

Coach Pugh figures that he will make
one of the best pitchers ever turned

not started in a game, but will get a
chance to show his stuff on the trip

this weekend.
Cullman has some hard games ahead
and some of them are away from home.

DOPE FAVORS AMERICA
TO WIN IN BIG GAMES
Supremacy, However, Promises To Be Seriously
Challenged And Upset Not Improbable

NEW YORK, May.3.-(By Associated
Press athletic supremacy
promises to be challenged in the Olym-
pic games this year to greater extent
than ever before, but on past per-
formances this country's stars figure to
win again the major share Of inter-
national laurels. -
Conclusive proof of the outstanding
position held by America is that our
athletes hold IS, or more than one-third
OF the 80 worlds records for track and
field events recognized by the Interna-
tional Amateur Athletic federation.
Great Britain is next with IS, and Fin
land, which has but recently stepped
to the forefront In athletics, 10 third
with IL. These two nations, incl
dentally, loom as Americas closest
rivals for honors at Paris this year.
Way Out In Front
No other nation approaches the YER
satility OF America, the lists show, for
Uncle Sans track and field performers
have established records in six of the
seven distinct groups of track and field
competition.
America leads the world in the runs,
jumps, weight-tossing, hurdling and re-
lay racing, tabulation discloses, while
Great Britain Is preponderant in walk
ing and Finland in, javelin and discus
throwing.
All running records from 100 to 1920
yards are held by American stars, but
from one to rs miles, England, chiefly
through the brilliant performances a de-
cade ago by Alfred Shrubb, holds
majority of the marks on the books
The mile mark stood to the credit Of an
American, Norman Taber, until last
summer, when Paavo Nurmi, Finnish
star, stepped the distance in astonishing
time of minutes, 10 2-5 seconds. This
has not yet been officially accepted by
the I. A. A. F., but this Is expected to
be only a formality.
The United States has a monopoly In
weight-throwing, the relays and in
jumping, holding all but two of the
10 records listed in these classes. The
pole vault record SIS held by a Nor
wegian, Charles Hoff, who last year

DEL JUEGo DEL DOMINGO
EN- PONCE
Ry Joseph F. MccARRoN
Bob MEUSEL.

In defeating Humacao in the after
noon game of Sundays doubleheader
at Ponce. the Allentown baseball team
demonstrated that it can play real
baseball and the decisive manner in
which the victory was won left lit
tie doubt as to which was the better
team.
The morning game resulted in a
scoreless tie, the Ponce baseball fans
stating that it was one of the best
games ever played in their city. The
Humacao team played very good base
ball in the morning game, but seemed
to go to pieces in the afternoon game
after Allentown had scored four runs
in the first inning
While the morning game resulted in
neither team being able to put a run
across the home plate. yet Allentown
had several good opportunities. Luck
was against them, however. and when
the ninth inning ended neither team
was able to claim victory
Allentown was robbed of the game
in the morning when Angulo, center
fielder fer Humacao. made big league
catch of Coxe's long drive to center
fed The hit looked like a home run
and at the time there were two men
OH bases, but Angulo made great
running catch of Coxe's drive fer the
third out
Also, through some very poor base
running on the part of Estrada, Al
lentown lost chance to win tho
morning game in the fifth inning
when Estrada was caught between
second and third base, when there
was a runner on third
In the afternoon game there was no
question but that Allentown had the
better team. In the first inning AL
lentown scored enough runs to win the
game. and after that out played HUI
macao both in the field and at bat.
