u. S. Victor
in Olympic
Competition
Track and Field Events End
With America Far
in Front.
BY FRANK GETTY,
limited Press Shorts Editor

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 6.-American
supremacy in the Olympics slowly
is lessening and coaches today gen.
orally believed that within eight
years the wearers of the Stars and
Stripes would have fight for first
place. The stalwart United States
team won in the eight days of track
and field competition this year as
had been expected, finishing seventy
points ahead of Finland in second
place. But until the relays only
one track victory had been scored,
that when Ray Barbuti whirled
about the dusty bowl to victory in
the 400 meters.
Sunday the two relay teams
brilliantly won their events. Sun
day they ran as masters, swinging
along with telling strides that
broke the hearts of the competing
runners. They were at top form
and proved that American runners
still rank with the greatest of the
world.
Williams Fastest Runner
Percy Williams, the Canadian
school boy, who won the 100 and
2O0-meter dashes, probably is the
fastest runner Of modern times,
using a double squirt" one of
which is put on about forty yards
from the start and the other
about eighty-f1ve yards away.
Williams was marvellous in vic
tory while the entire Canadian team
was strong and proved the sensation
of the games.
From sentimental viewpoint
many Americans we're a bit put
back Sunday when Joie Ray, the
cocky little Chicagoan who at one
time was the worlds greatest miller,
failed to win the marathon-prob-
ably the greatest single attraction
of the games.
Last Burst of Speed
Ray logged along with the leaders
and six kilometers from home ap-
peared as though a winner. He
started to overtake Yamada, who
led the pack of great distance men.
Then from far back came Ell Quafi,
a French Algerian. He had been
a dispatch runner in the French AL
gerian campaign.
The powerful muscles in his black
legs were called upon for a final
burst of speed and he passed COM
petition, one by one. He went by
Ray easily, the American vainly at
tempting to call on his wearying
legs to give the final burst that
would have given the United States
marathon supremacy.
Plaza of Chile finished second,
Marttelin, Finland, first third, and
Yamada of Japan finished fourth.
Ray came in fifth.
The final point standing in the
Olympiad track and field events was:

Walsh, ST., baffled the New York
Yankees Sunday and the Chicago
White Sox won, 5 to 4, enabling the
Athletics to slice the champions

although outhit 10 to 7, managed to
hold the Yanks at bay, through the
great pitching of Young Ed, who

three runs and he had to be replaced by
Van Glider.
Boston played errorless ball at st. Louis
to trim the Browns, 3 to l. Ruhipg was
in fine form and held Dan Howley's crew
to four hits.
The league-leading st. Louis Car
dinals were forced to fight the
New York Giants for fifteen innings
before they clinched their victory,
6 to 4. Both teams hit hard, but
the opposing hurlers managed to
keep the score down. Chick Hafey
almost broke up the game in the
first inning with a home run which
scored two men ahead of him. The
Giants tied the score in the fifth,
however, and the fans were treated
to nine innings of scoreless baseball
before the Cardinals broke up the
game with two runs in the fifteenth.
After th=ee straight defeats at the hands
of the Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn took the
series with a 5-to-2 victory. Vance al

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The United
States Davis Cup tennis team was
to arrive here today from France
and it was understood that the
entire group planned to go to the
Meadow Club, Southampton, L. l.,
to take part in the annual in
vitational tennis tournament.
Those who were to arrive were
William T. Tilden, Philadelphia !;
John Hennessey, Indianapolis;
Frank Hunter, New Rochelle, N. Y;
George Lott, Chicago, and Wilbur
Coen Jr., Kansas City.
Whether Tilden will play depends
on the U. S. l.. T. A. Tilden cabled
his acceptance of the clubs in
vitation without knowing whether
the tennis governing body had with
drawn the charges made against his
amateur status.
The play of Eennessey and Lott
is almost certain to come in for a
good deal of attention. Their fine
performance in Davis Cup COM
petition already has stamped them
as the leaders Of the U. S. team in
1929.
The teams entries with these of
Manuel Alonzo, Philadelphia; Will
mer Allison, Austin, Texas; John
Doeg, Santa Monica, Cal; John Van
Ryr, Princeton, and Louis Thai
heiner, Dallas, Texas, will make
the Southampton tourney the first
major tennis event of the Eastern
season.
