 There were many brilliant per formers, but top honors fell to Audrey Bracey of Rice Institute, wio csta blished himself as an al- most certain Olympic team member by winning the 10o-yard dash in :o9 3-5 seconds. which tied the worlds record. He won the 22O- yard dash in 20 9-10, which tied the meet record established by Ro- land Locke Of Nebraska in 1926. Bracey was the only entry to win two tirsts.
 Another excellent showing was made by l.. Bartlett of Albion col iege, Michigan, who tossed the ja,elin PIG feet z inches.

SCORE WHOLESALE
 SPORTS AWARDS
Letters At High School Are
 Given Sometimes for No Reason

Considerable protest is being made by members of the New Brit ain High school alumni over the wholesale award of athletic mono- grams which follow every athletic season. The athletic authorities of the school are criticized not only for giving too many letters but they are also under fire for giving them to boys who really do not deserve them.
 The Herald sporting department has been Aquested on several occa- sions to bring the facts before the public and it is in answer 10 this that one of the staff investigated the matter from both angles.
 After the football season letters were given the first team. the sec ond team and some of the third stringers. In basketball last winter a. record number of letters were awarded and in baseball this year it is probable that about o3 letters will be awarded. some 10 players who have not played as much as a minute in a game and others who might have put on q uniform but were never seen with 1t on at d game.
 Alumni have asked why it is that so many letters arc given out need lessly; why it is that the practice has cheapened the value of the let ter to such an extent that some of the athletes never wear their mono- gram while others turn the sweat CT inside out.
 Coach Cassidy's answer is that the schools policy is 10 encourage the sports with the motto in mind, "The greatest good for the greatest num- ber.' He is of the opinion that it is unjust to ask boy to practice on a team every night during the season and then not give him some reward at the end of the season. The coach's attitude is to encourage rather than discourage.
 Although some of the alumni have declared that Coach Cassidy has been bringing politics into mind when he is awarding the letters this is matter which the alumni does not seem 10 be able to prove and so it cannot be considered seriously. | Coach Lionel Depot seems to have a good system in track. Ger tain requirements arc laid down and if they are not met the boy does not receive a letter. In order that a boy may receive monogram in track he must score five points in q dual meet or score something in the an nual triangular meet. On several oc- casions boys have been one point short and have been forced to wait another year 10 win the coveted ! award,

 Good pitching, airtisht fielding and timely batting will win pail games in any league and Hendricks is getting all three, And just now he is getting them in more copious quantities than any of his rivals.
 Superlative pitching by Jakie May, round southpaw of Hendrick s mound staff. gave the Reds 3 to q victory over the New York Giants before 10000 persons who packed inc Polo Grounds to near capacity Giants second place, for il was coupled with Brooklyn's defea, by the St. Louis Cardinals.
 May, all in-and-outcr. vas very much "ip" yesterday. He granted five hits. scattered so effectively that not a man reached third base. Dres- sens single scored Curt Walker with the first Cincinnati run in the fourth inning. Walkers single with the bases full in the eighth accounted for the last two. Dutch Henry started for the Giants but split a finger trying 10 bunt in the sixth in ming. Ben CantWcll finished up the lost cause.
 Del Bisonnette's 11th homer of the year was the only bright spot for Wilbert Robinson in the Dodgers crushing 1 } to : defeat by the Cards. Brooklyn remained within hailing distance Of victory until the eighth when the Cards unleashed batting assault, that netted seven runs.
 The American league program was featured by the ninth defeat of the season of the New York Yankees The White SoN turned the trick at Chicago. $ 10 C. despite Babe Ruths o1st and 2ond home runs of the season. Forty-three thousand saw the game.

 The Athletics failed to diminish the 10 and one half games that sep arate them from the Yankees for they were soundly trounccd. to 2. by the Detroit Tigers Old Jack Quinn and Eddie Rommel were poundsd for 1o hits by the Tigers who have shown decided improve ment in the last few weeks.
 Jamieson's error in the ninth. coupled with singles by Goslin and Judge. enabled Washington to, nose out Cleveland, 6 to ,, for the Sen ators' fourth straight win.
