New World Hurdle Mark.
One world record was broken, an
other tied, two National A. A. U.
records fell and two were equaled.
Johnny Gibson, a former Fordham
star, smashed the world record for the
440-yard hurdle, leaping the barriers in
0:52 3-5. This clipped one and three
fifths seconds from the old mark estab.
lished by j. X. Norton of Stanford
University in 1920.
The world record was equaled in
the 100-yard dash, but just who is
credited with this performance re
mains to be settled by others than
the contestants themselves. Charley
Borah of the Hollywood A. c., the
1926 sprint champion, was officially
announced as the winner. The time
was 0:09 3.5.
Century Winner i'm Doubt.
After the decision was announced
however, the judges were in doubi
whether Borah broke the tape ahead
of Chester Bowman of the Newark
A. c., or whether Bowman was first
to the tape.
Murray Hubert of New York, presi
dent of the National A. A. u, said his
decision would not be made until he
had an opportunity to view the mo

finish. examine other photographs
and take the statements of the six

weeks while nursing strained side,
returned to the Macks' lineup. In
his four turns at bat against young
Bobby Burke he failed to knock the
ball past the infield and the first time
he stepped to the plate he drove into
a double play.
Al Simmons got his hundredth hit
of the season in the fourth inning. 1t
was a rolling single to center and
paved the way to the first Athletic
run.
Bob Reeves made a startling catch
of Jimmy Dykes looper to left in the
second session. The shortfielder had
to run far back and close to the foul
line to get under the ball. The sphere
appeared SO certain to fall safely that
Sammy Hale did not hesitate to dart
from second base and became a soft
double play victim.
Harris was doubled off second base

row and Tuesday the Nationals have

Independence day and a single con-
test the following afternoon.
Wednesday and Thursday are off

but they are billed to appear against
the International League club in
Rochester in an exhibition contest on
the first of these supposedly carefree
days.
Friday they start their second in
vasion of the West this year with a
double header in Cleveland and there
after they will be a busy lot while
touring that sector of the circuit.
Twenty-one games are to be disposed
of during the Nationals 17-day So
journ in the West and that means
plenty of work.
Postponements because of rain dur
ing the last trip are responsible for
this heavy schedule. Six games are
to be played in four days with the In
dians at Cleveland and five games In
four days with the Tigers in Detroit.
If use can be made of an off day, five
games with the White Sox in Chicago
will be put on in as many days, but
five games with the Browns Will nave
to be crowded into four days in st.
Louis.
After that tough trip, the Nationals
will come home for a 2O-day stand,
starting July IS. Then the Western
clubs and the Yankees will be enter
tanned here.
Buddy Dear, shortstOp, who STEP
ned right out of the Virginia Poly
technic Institute nine into the ranks
of the Nationals about the middle OF
June. has been sent to the New
Haven club of the Eastern League
under option. Dear left for his new
outfit last night, in company with
President George Weiss of New
Haven, who visited President Clark
Griffith yesterday and put through
the deal. Dear apparently has much
worth as ball player. but he had
no chance to show his wares here. and
Manager Harris thought it would be
better for the young fellow to go to
some club that would give him plenty
to do. Weiss stated yesterday that
Dear would be sent into action in
double-header at New Haven this
afternoon. The Eastern League is a
fast one and should be a good school
for the youthful shortstop. Before
leaving, Dear said he was glad of
the opportunity to get with club
where he would be used regularly.
Room for Dear on the option list,
which by base ball law is limited to
eight players for a major league club,
was made yesterday by the outright
sale to New Haven of Frank LOTUS,
a pitcher the Nationals had farmed.
LOTUS came to the big show last
Fall and was taken TO the Florida |
training camp of the Nationals in the |
Spring. Before the club broke camp
he was sent under option to Birming.
