ONE MAN EQUALLED
 LOW HURDLE MARX
Record Was Made by AIVan C.
 KraenZleil Of Pennsylvania

Princeton, N. J., May 1 3 CP)-The and field meet of the l, C. A. A. A. A, which celebrates it's golden anni- versary at the Harv; I'd stadium May 2S and 29. has nothing more unusual than the fact that only one man in twenty eight years has equalled the championship low-hurdle record of 23 S-5 seconds set by Alvin C. Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania in 1898.
 That one man, said Keen Fitz- patrick, veteran Princeton coach, was James Wendell of Wesleyan, who tied the mark in 1913.
 There have been other good low murders, such as Jimmy Garrels of Michigan and Coard Taylor of Princeton who have won titles in fast time" Fitzpatrick declared. Last year. Kenneth Grumbles of Southern California won the title in twenty-four seconds fiat. He is an- other of the rangy type best fitted for low hurdling.
 "The man who does it must be q ten-second sprinter. as was Kraenz- lein. I have heard stories 10 the eff feet that the Pennsylvania ire was aroused when he went to the mark in the 1898 final. As l recall it the track was mud covered, yet Kraenz- lein clipped one full second off the record.
 The low hurdles was added to
New Britain herald., 1926-05-15

the ], C. A. A. A. A. program in 1888. and the first man to improve twenty-siX record was Jim Lee of Harvard in 1890, who, incidentally was the first competitor to make fast time while ta--ng eight strides be- tween the hurdles. Seven strides be- tween each bar is the orthodox style but Lee mastered the feat of taking off first with his left and then with his right foot. Listed among the record breakers was Harry Williams of Yale.
 "The technique of low hurdling is as different from that of high hurd- ling as night is from day. Over the high hurdling as night is from day Over the high barrier it is essential 10 bend ones back as the hurdle is cleared but there is no time in low hurdling 10 do much bending be- cause so much depends on straight away sped. Technique must be largely ignored.
 Tt is an asset to be a good 440 yard man in the low hurdles and should call between 1t. II in. and 6 fl. in. the ideal height"

DE PALO PLEDGES SAFETY
American Automobile Racing Cham pion Attributes Success 10 Pair of His Baby's Shoes.

Indianapolis, May Is LPA-A pair of baby shoes was worth S9750O in cash to Pete DePaolo last year, but they failed 10 bring him victory at the recent international speedway race.
 The 1925 American automobile racing champion, who also leads the pack for 1926, attributes his success to the fact that q pair of his young sters boots hangs from the front axle of his car in every contest. His cash winnings aggregated approxi- mately $97,500.
 DePaolo is superstitious only in that one respect. He said from the time he attached the shoes he has not had serious accident. They will be his good-luck piece until he quits the sport.
 The champion driver will have two new cars in the 500-miIe h. dianapolis race and the shoes will be switched to the one he selects to pilot

STRIBLING SCORES
 DECISIVE VICTORY
Has RiSk0 GroSgy Twice During
 the Term Of the Bout

New York. May 15 OP) - The state of Georgia, which already boasts one newly crowned pugilis- tic champion in the popular negro middleweight titleholder, Tiger Flowers, today had a potential light heavyweight king in William L. (Young) Stribling.
 With a triumph impressive in it's decistveness. the clever young southern challenger last night at Madison Square Garden yielded a fifteen and one-half pound handi- cap to Johnny Risko of Cleveland and then vanquished the conqueror of Paul Berlenbach with a dazzling, running attack which twice had tho rugged Cleveland man groggy.
 Risko stood up gamely under his steady fire of tabs and crosses throughout the ten rounds they were in the ring, but only in the last two rounds was he able to make any impression on the Georgian's defense. The award of the judges to Stribling was favor ably received, and the smiling vic- tor was greeted by Ma" and his young society bride with hugs and kisses as he climbed from the ring.
 Stribling's bid for the light heavyweight championship against the titleholder, Berlenbach, on June 10, received added impetus by his convincing victory last night. The same Risko only q few weeks ago welcomed BerlenbGch and his heavyweight aspirations with two hruising fists turning back the champion in defeat and rudely dashing his hopes Of penetrating further into the domain of Demp- sey.
 Newspaper men at the ringsidc last night credited Stribling with winning seven Of the rounds. His advantage in the fifth and seventh were pronounced. Smashing rights to the jaw had Risko groggy in these sessions, while in the other rounds a tantalizing jab was in the Cleveland fighters face whenever he pressed to the attack.
 The weights were: Stribling 174 1-2; Risko 19O.
 The Stribling family scored earlier in the evening when Her bic, younger brother of William L.. trounced Joe Werner of New York in a six round preliminary. Herbie. lightweight, fioored his opponent twice in the fifth round.
 Chick Suggs, Negro bantam Of New Bedford, Mass, scored technical knockout over Johnny Brown, English bantam champion. after two minutes and 28 seconds of the fifth round, the referee stop ping the fight. Yalck Okun of New York took a ten-round judges de- cision from George Cook. Austral- ian heavyweight. in another pre- liminary.

 As Babe Ruth goes. so SC the Yankees--a byword of the diamond W. took root in the greatest home run record of all time-has come back with emphasis this season to kindle the pennant hopes of Miller Huggins.
 Ruth delivered one mighty thrust yesterday. With that single blow, the Yankees scared to victory over the Cleveland Indians. to l, and boosted their first place advantage over Washington to full game. The drive scared into the right field bleachers for Babes eleventh four base slam of the campaign, tying the pace he set in 1921 to compile his record string of 59.
 Lou Gehrig was aboard when Ruth smote one of Leysen's twisters for the circuit in the opening chukker thereafter only one additional bingle was gathered by the entire Yankee outfit.
 The second place Senators made the verdict doubly profitable to New York by dropping a decision to the St. Louis Browns, 10 to [. Although hammered for fourteen hits by the champions, Gaston went the route for the Browns. who pummeled four Washington pitchers in return Ken Williams fifth homer of the season figured in a healthy Brown attack which temporarily lifted Sisler's team out of a long slump.
 The Philadeluhia Athletics today were crowding the Indians for fourth place as result of their ninth in- ming rally to victory yesterday against the Chicago White Sox to g. After spotting Collins team to five runs in the first two innings, the Machian brigade closed with a stir ring finish in the seventh and ninth, Joe Hauser's drive scoring Bishop with the winning tally.
 The Detroit Tygers again rode roughshod over the Boston Red Sox 8 to l. Scoring in all but three in- nings of the contest, but the victori- ous march of the Brooklyn Robins through the middle west was temporarily checked at Pittsburgh. The Pirates held the National league leaders even 5 to 5, in a seven in ming game ended by downpour hits by Cuyler and Wright in the seventh saving the worlds champions.
 The crippled Giants, who have lost the services of Shortstop Travis Jackson for two weeks as result Of injury. took another drubbing from the Cincinnati Reds, 6 to 4. Three hits by Hargrave contributing heavily to the winning attack The result carried the Reds to within a few percentage points of first place.

OWEN CARROLL IS
 MOUND SENSATION
Former Holy Cross Star Has Won Seven Straight Games

New York, May 15 (P)-The cpl demic of terrific hitting in the Inter- national league has subsided to an appreciable degree under improved pitching, with Owen Carroll. former Holy Cross star. standing out as the early season mound sensation of the circuit.
 Statistics available today gave Carroll winning streak of seven straight and show he has limited opposing teams to an average of less than six hits per game. The two Baltimore hurlers, Earnshaw and Vincent, also are undefeated. each with five victories to their credit.
 Five teams, Newark, Baltimore, Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo are hitting above the 300 mark in the order given. The four leaders fell off sharply from their marks of the previous week. However, with the Bears still making the pace at .S3G. one point higher than the figure of the Orioles.
 Don Hurst of Syracuse, with an average of .456 in twenty-four games has displaced Joe Brown of Newark as individual batting leader. Eddie Onslow of Rochester, runner-up to Brown a week ago, also dropped back. and Head, team mate, came to the front to press Hurst with an average of .450.
 Behind Head in order rank Layne, Toronto, and Monahan. Baltimore, .4SS; Brown, Newark, .4O7; Fonseca, Newark, 406; Mckee, Baltimore, 392; Onslow Rochester and Walker, Baltimore. .3S6; Rocttger Syracuse, .SS5; Shorten, Newark, 1882; Murphy of Rochester, .376.

Falcons
Elm City Giants


 | Jagloski, D
 One of the greatest attractions of the current baseball season is due at St. Mary's field tomorrow afternoon when tho Elm City Giants, champion colored baseball club of New Eng land, and winners of the New Haven City league title in 1925, face the home club the Falcons. The game is scheduled to start promptly at 8 o'clock and a large crowd of spec tators is sure to be on hand to wit | ness the game.
 1 The Falcons are in prime condi. | ton for a real battle but to offset any chance of any unforeseen weak | ness cropping up, the team will be out on the field this afternoon put ting the finishing touches on their | Ifielding and stick-work. The same lineup that has successfully met two opponents and conquered them so far this season. will be sent in against the dusky club from the Elm City. The pitching selection has not yet been named. but the burden will fall on either Bruno Kania or Jag lowsld, according to the dope.
 The Falcons opponents tomorrow Iare no strangers to New Britain fans. They have appeared in this lefty almost consecutively for the past seven years and they have all ways given a good account of them Iselves. Although the records are not handy of their battles with New Britain teams. memory seems to say Ithat the New Haven team has car Tried off the honors by one game margin so far. If this is so, the Falcons hope to make the score Ieven tomorrow
 The New Haven management has not sent its lineup on 10 this city, Isaying that the men are so we'll known here and there are very few changes in the team that it would on. The club is an exceptional one in that all its members are diamond stars. The players also occasion plenty of fun by their comic antics, though this does not take away from their ability to play baseball.
 With two games in the present season already tucked safely away, .the Falcons are prepared to make the New Haven club number on its list. Manager Joe Eenisii prom ises the fans a win and his charges are all with him in the determina- tion to win. Herbie Sautter will hold the indicator.
