PADDOCK FINALLY
 ACCEPTED IN EAST
SpOrtSlnen Believe Stories About
 Sprinter as He Ties Records

New York, The east, long inclined to credit a portion of Charley Pad, docks record achievements to Pa cifc coast enthusiasm for Q native son, has finally accepted the blond sprinter following his marvellous running in the three-day meet Of the National A. A. U. under the di- retion of the Newark Athletic club.
 Paddock's feats of tying the worlds records in the 100 and 200 yard dashes were the outstanding performances of the competition, Although he barely nosed Loren Murchison and Ali Leconey in the century and had the advantage Of breeze, his running in the furlong was unquestionably sensational.
 There was no winh during this event and Paddock beat Murchison to"the tape by four yards in final burst.
 Murchison, who lost the nationa
 
 races, retaliated to some extent yes terday by clipping 7-10 seconds from the world record established by Paddock for the 250-yard dash two weeks ago. The new time is "A 7-10. Herb Meyer ran the sO- yard low hurdles in :09 9-10 for new worlds record, which, however, may not be accepted becasse of its unstandardized distance.
 G. Morgan Taylor of. Grinnell college, lowered the championship mark for the 440-yard low hurdles from :54 4-5 to :54 5-10 for the only other senior record. Mac Weiss bet tered the time. in the three-mile walk for the only record of the junior competition.
 Joie Ray, eight-time national mile champion, was one of 10 1928 cham pions who failed to retain their laurela.

After Ruth's Record
(By NEA service.)

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. s.-Babe Ruth's home run record of 59, set in 1921, which critics said would stand for all time, may be shattered this year.
 And by Clarence Big Boy" Kraft, first baseman of the Fort Worth Partners, and home run king of the Texas League
 Going into the game of Sept. 4, Kraft had total of 5S four-baggers to his credit for the season. On Aug. 25 he shattered the minor league record of 49. set last year by Moses Solomon. The previous record was 45, set by Perry Warden in 1895.
 Kraft, starting from Aug. 25, had 21 games left in which to hit 10 more homers to break Ruth's record. For the last two years he has always hit 10 the last 20 days of the season. He is at the top of his form right now and his chances of breaking the record are better than ever.
 Fort Worth civic clubs are raising s10,00O to be presented to Kraft if he breaks Ruth's record of 59. The fans will not stand for him to be purposely passed and their howl counts some. Especially since Fort Worth has cinched the pennant.
 Krafts feat should not be looked upon lightly, for as minor league performance it is equally as great as Ruth's. Most of the parks are as large as those in the American league. Kraft is right-handed bat ter and gets his drives over the left or centerfeld walls.
 The Fort Worth slugger is not a big leaguer and probably never will be. He IS only an ordinary first sacker, but at bat he Is the punch of

Robins Come a Crop per in National League Pirates Also Stop ped Detroit Comes Into Picture.

New York, Sept. S.--There is no Joy in Flatbush today for tho mighty Robins fell prey to the Giants.

 But over in Pittsburgh where the boys have ben studying worlds series songs for the past month, they are gloemier than ever and all on &C., count of the Reds. The Cincinnati team yesterday turned the lights against the onrushing Pirates twice, Al, 5-3. and the Smoky City charges lost ground in their suboorn fight to kep in the fight for honors in John Heydler's circuit.
 St. Louis, contentedly relegated to the second division, won and lost against the Cubs, losing the first en- counter, to 1, but coming back strong in the second to win, 15 to 4. The Phillies and the Braves rested yesterday and they are having bit ter scrap to kep away from the eel lar championship but the Phlllies have the call on their Boston friends right now and unless the play of the Braves improves materially in the next three weeks, the employees of Christy MatheWson will find them selves heavily anchored at the bot tom of the deck when the worlds series starts.

WOULD TEST ENGINEERS.
I. c. c. Urges Frequent Physical
Examinations.

Railroad enginemen should be ex-
amined by competent physicians as to
the condition of their faculties and
general health and should be re-ex-
amined at stated intervals, the Inter
state Commerce Commission has held
in announcing the cause of an ac-
cident on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad last September,
which resulted in the deaths of two
employees and injury to forty-eight
passengers. The accident on which
the report was made was caused, the
commission said. by operation of a
passenger train through short
crossover at an excessive speed.
An autopsy on the body of the en-
gineman who was killed in the acci-
dent showed that he had an oedema
OF the brain. which would result in
temporary lapses. Investigation show
ed that he had not had physical ex-
animation since September, 1908, al
though he had passed the examina-
ton. for vision, color sense and hear
ing In April of last year.
In the interests of safety" the
commission said. lit Is believed that
not only should the railroads have
their enginemen examined by compe-
tent physicians, but that they should
be re-examined at stated intervals"
