Athletes End
Practice for
.A.A.U.Event
National Meet Begins Fri
day at LincoIn-Rated
Olympic Test.

BIZ United Press
LINCOLN, Neb,, June 30.-As a
hot sun beat down on the cinder
track of the University of Nebraska
stadium, athletes from every section
of the country went through work
outs today for the National A. A. U.
track and field meet.
The national meet-a virtual
Olympic test-begins Friday and
will be continued Saturday and
Monday. There will be junior and
senior championship.
AS the day for the events APP
preached it seemed certain the meet
would develop into a contest be-
tween West and Middlewest.
The powerful I. A. G. team from
Chicago-boasting such stars as H.
M. Osborne, Murchison, Taylor,
Guthrie and host of others-is at-
tracing much pre-meet comment.
But the Coast teams, some of
which already have arrived, are at
tracing just as much attention.
Charley Paddock, Lee Barnes, the
vaulter, a host of weight men such
as only California seems able to
produce, and several middle dis
lance men will represent the Far
West.

him to put sharp snap or punch

NEW OPEN CHAMP TERMED
STYLIST OF FIRST RANK

up Bobby, his methods are sound
and his touch excellent, when he is
anywhere near his form. He stands
with his heels no more than four
or five inches apart and puts with
the ball about midway between his
two feet. He bends we'll over at
the waist but there is no dropping
or ungainly bending of the knee
such as mark the putting postures
of some"
Hagen quoted Cooper as an ex-
ample to bring out the differences
in type Harry, now, is a real free
swinger. On full shot he sings
the club back to where the head
is hardly more than a foot from
the ground at times. AS is the case
with practically all who WELD such
a full wallop, he gets distance in
plenty but when his timing is ever
the least bit off the beat he is likely
to be visiting the rough and other
fairways."
This ought to spike a few dis
gruntled mutterings about Armour
and his getting lucky break al

entrants had gone sour" at the op-
perfume time for Armour to plug
through.
Here are two veterans introducing

quet for nobody's garbage can

The Pittsburgh Pirates, leading
the National League by the narrow
margin of one-half game, invaded
washington Park today to engage
the Indians in an exhibition tilt as
the high spot OF the "Ownie Bush
day" celebration.
The peppery pilot, star Shortstop
of the pennant winning Indians of
1908, and manager of the local A. A.
outfit in "a, rs and '26, three Sec
ond-place clubs, hustled his big
leaguers into the city this morning
and he was to send them against
the Tribesmen at 3 p. m.
Boosters of the east side, includ-
ing members of That Old Gang of
Mine, reassembled for the occasion
to pay tribute to Ownie and his
crack diamond machine.
Lose Wednesday
The Pirates came in from St.
Louis, where they dropped a close
battle to the Cardinals Wednesday,
10 to 9, when the 1926 world champs
rallied for five runs in the eighth
inning.
Pirates, Cardinals and Chicago
Cubs are engaged in one of the
highest National League races in
history and Owen Joseph Bush of
N. Walcott ST., Indianapolis, is right
in the midst of the spectacular dia-
mend fireworks.
Bush is in hard circumstances for
pitchers and he said Pirate scouts
are combing the country striving to
secure talent. He used twelve pitch
ers the past three days in ST. Louis.

tinues to be bothered by lame

Injuries Handicap
The injury jinX has struck the
Pirates hard this season and the
little pilot praised his team for the
wonderful race it has been making
in the face of the handicaps.
Bush said this morning he prob
ably would use the following line
up against the Indians this after
noon.

and President Walter B. Smith sur
prised the gang by naming round
of golf in the regular order of bust
ness at the suggestion of Leonard
Hicks and Walter Gregory, man
ayers of the new Lakeside Hotel and

vantage over most inland courses

Exhibition Tribe Slaughtered by Toledo.

, but all the horrible details won't be
related.
The Toledo maulers knocked Bur-
well off the mound in the third in
ming, thumped Schemanske in the
same manner and then coasted along
on their fat lead. Swetonic was
called in to finish pitching to the
walloping Hens, and as they were
exhausted from running, by that
time, he got by without being hit
heavily.
Steal Five Bases
The visitors hit about every spot
in the park with aibase knock. They
got twenty-five hits, including two
triples and three doubles, and stole
five bases. Fourteen Hens went to
the plate in the third round and
nine in the fifth, the rallies account
ing for seven and five runs re-
spectively.
Nearly everything Burwell and
Schemanske pitched was met with
solid swipe. Bevo Lebourveau,
the leagues leading slugger, col
lected five hits in six efforts, scored
three runs and stole one base. Yes,
he certainly packed bloated bat
ting average after that display of
stickwork.
Bob Snyder, Tribe catcher, poled
two home runs and was credited
with batting in five of the Indians
six markers, but his unusual rec
ord was dimmed by the way the
home talent was cuffed and kicked.
Soft for Palmero
At one stage of the Hen frolic
the visitors held a lead of IA to O.,
and the Cuban Palmero, who tossed
'em over for the winners, almost
had vacation out there for nine
innings
Miller played good ball at short
for the Tribe and hit safely twice,
but in the face of the punishment
Toledo dealt, outstanding work by
Tribe individuals failed to receive
much notice.
About 1000 citizen soldiers from
the citizens military training camp
at FIT. Benjamin Harrison were
guests of the Indians Wednesday.
There were many Ohio boys in the
crowd and they had a big time
whooping things up for Toledo.
The Hen-Tribe series will be re-
sumed Friday, which is ladies day
and "kids' day" at Washington
Park. The Hens rested this after
noon while the Indians met Pitts
burgh in an exhibition.
