SETS RECORD

DENVER, July 6.-The National
A. A. u. track and field champion
ships wound up in a blaze of glory
here, and today q new decathlon rec
ord and two new championships re-
lay marks are on the books AS the
result Of the final day Of competi-
ton.
Kenneth Doherty, of the Cadillac
Athletic Club of Detroit, Mich, sue
cessfully defended his title as
decathlon champion, by amassing a
total Of 7,784.6S points, a new
American record. The lanky VOL
VERNE displayed true championship
courage when he cut down a long
lead established by Buster Charles,
the Omaha Indian from Haskell In
stitute, in the five morning events,
and was down In driving finish
in the afternoon.
Doherty was cheered on to
victory by his bride Of two
weeks, with whom he spent his
honeymoon In Denver.
A great quartet of dash men from
Los Angeles, galloped~oyer the fast
track to new records in the 440 and
SS0-yard relays. Charlie Paddock,
the grand old man; Milton Maurer,
Maurice Guyer and Frank Wykoff,
spread-eagled their field in the two
short relays, and their firsts clinched
the club championship for the Los
Angeles Athletic Club, in the relay
games.
A special event, the medley shot
put, produced q new record. Her.
man Brix, national 16.pound shotput
champion, hurled the 8-pound shot
81 feet liz inches, to break the
great Ralph Rose 22-year record
of 81 feet inches.
Leo. LermOnd, little Boston
Irishman trotted a half mile in
| minute 53.6 seconds, which
equalled the A. A. II. champion
ship record established by Phil
Edwards on the previous day.
As anchor man for the winning
Boston A. A. two-mile relay team,
Lermond ran his half practically
unpaced. His nearest opponent was
200 yards back when he took the
baton.
The performance created a great
deal of speculation concerning what
Lermond may do to existing records
when trained properly for the dis
tance and faced by first-class COM
petition. Already, track followers
are anticipating one Of the greatest
treats in history when Lermond
tackles Phil Edwards, the Canadian
negro from New York u. in the
future.

ball miseries.
Last years National League cham
pions were smacked by the Phillies
yesterday, and in being smacked ran
their defeats to 10. This leaves them
just three games north OF the soar
ing Robins in fourth place. It is re-
ported that Cincinnati has moved

find some means of checking their
headlong descent.
In the only other major league
game Of the day the Indians
staged q five-run rally In the
weIl.knOwn seventh to nose out
the White Sox, ii to 10.
Today's feature engagement in the
National finds New York playing
host to their most bothersome
enemy, Brooklyn. The two clubs
play single game and then turn
to staving off wholesale invasion
OF the West. The Giants, positive
that they belong higher than third

discovered, too, that those who
have been standing square to the

an effort to prevent or curtail a.

bracing The left leg. BY opening the
stance slightly, 30 that the left foot
.is drawn a bit behind the right, the
player Is in position to pivot more
easily on the down swing. But to
pivot freely and correctly Is not all.
The movement must be timed with
the ciubhead.
1t was only after q good deal of
patient reiteration that was able
to inculcate in my pupils mind the
need of bracing the left side. Then
we noticed gratifying results. In

winding the body on the down
swing.
You can easily visualize the re.
suit and perhaps profit by 1t. The
clubhead. travelling at an enor-
nous rate of speed, overtakes the
reverse pivot and leaves the body
| far behind. This has the effect
of killing the body punch which.
! after all, is the real force behind
a truly hit golf shot. When the
body Is left behind in this manner,
the bali Is generally pushed to the;
right.
Therefore. advise a quicker
pivot for the down swing. 1t will
do no harm, as the body gets
around little before the hands.
You can see the effect Of this in
hook instead OF q slice.
Many golfers have the mis-.
taken idea that the body moves

Plans have been perfected for the

Dagsboro, to be incorporated under
the State of Delaware, as the Sus-
sex Cooling Station. James M. Tun-
nell, attorney, has the legal work in

ganization and making plans to be
of real service to Sussex county milk
producers. Heretofore milk has been
delivered to Dagsboro platform and
then by truck to Snow Hill, Md,

mean a 80 per cent saving on cost, as
trucks will call at the farm each day

"It would be hard to imagine
better surroundings for the develop

had," says Mr.. Coolidge. while a
wider breadth of training and know
ledge could have been presented to
me, there was a daily contact with
many new ideas, and the mind was
given sufficient opportunity thor
oughly to digest all that came to it.
Country life does not always
have breadth, but it has depth. 1t is
neither artificial nor superficial, but
is kept close to the realities.
"While can think of many pleas
ures we did not have, and many
niceties of culture with which we
were unfamiliar, yet if I had the
power to order my life anew would
not dare to change that period of it..
If it did not afford me the best that

A maiden stood beside the fence
With camera in hand
She thought she'd take snapshot
Of daddy's sleek "cow man."
She said, "old fellow turn your head
So can see your eyes,
The bull just started paving dirt,
And looked up to the skies.
He beloved loud in angry roar,
And put his tongue way out;
The maiden beat it to the door
And gave an awful shout.
We said you're not afraid Of tongues
They really can't hurt you.
She said, OH. no, it's not the tongue,
But what it's fastened to.
