 Performance in New York

New York. June IS Rl-Leo Ter mond. husky fier from the Boston A. A.. had to his credit today the second fastest outdoor mile ever run in this country.
 Lermond. who only a year ago was the best of Americas crop of two miiers. clearly demonstrated his right to head the list of present. day American milers when he turned in a 4:13 performance for the eight furlongs at d benefit track and field meet at the Yankee Stadium last night.
 Lermonds time was the fastest any American has made since 1915 when Norman Taber of Brown did the mile in 4:12 s-5 at Cambridge, Man. Taber's time. incidentally, stood as worlds record until Paavo Nurmi lowered it to 4:1o .-b In 1928.
 The Boston A. A. fier had the ad- vantage last night of being pushed to the utmost by Gus Moore. young negro cross-country star of the Brooklyn Harriers. Moore, who holds the national cross-country title. led Lermond most of the way but wilted in the final dash to the tape and fin- ished some 30 yards back of the Boston A. A. hier. Joe Hickey. of New York university. intercollegiate A. A. A. A. mile champion, was third and Wilbur c. Getz, Alfred univer- sity. holder of the national collegiate A. A. title. was fourth.
 The other feature of the benefit meet for New York Public School Athletic league. the 100 yard invi- tation dash. provided thrilling duel which saw Claude Bracey.

 Having lost two games in a row, Connie Macks Philadelphia Attn letics. driving on toward an Ameri- can league pennant, are experience ing their first slump of the sea- son.
 The As dropped the last game of the Cleveland series on Sunday and then bowed to the Chicago White Sox to 1, yesterday, the first time this season that Mack's powerful array has been beaten in as many as two successive games.
 Despite this condition of affairs, the chances are that Mack is doing little, if any, wo wing. The stand letics seven and one-half games in front of the second place New York Yankees who took time out yesterday to beat Bridgeport of the Eastern league to ?, in an eXhi bition game.
 Urban Faber, the veteran spit ball artist who has been an obstacle for American league batsmen for To, these many years. was the man who tanned the As yester ,y. After blanking the league leaders for eight innings. Urban was forced 10 call upon all his craft to shut off an Athletic rally of four runs in the ninth. Ossie Orwoll's pinch triple scored two of these runs. The SoX pounded old Jack Quinn out of the box with four run splurse in the fifth and scored two more off Eddie Rommel in the seventh.
 In the only other American leag que activity of the day. the Detroit Fig CTS and Boston's Red Sox split even in double bill at the Hub. The Sox punched hits of Owen Carroll be- hind fairly effective pitching by Charlie Ruffing to win the first fray to 5. The Tigers clouted Milt Gas tons offerings to all corners of the lot to take the second to 3. The Tigers smashei out l7 hits in the nightcap four of them going to Bob Fothergill. Harry Heilmann carried off the real batting honors of the day. getting six hits out of 9 times at bat during. the double bill.
 St Louis and Pittsburgh marched along step for step in the hot Ma tional league struggle, the Cardinals smelling the Cubs into defeat by 13 to 3. while Pittsburgh was nosins out Cincinnati to i. in tight pitchers battle. All other National, league clubs were idle. The days results left the Cards on top of the pack with Pittsburgh half a game or two per ,ntage points behind. The Cubs dropped to a game and half behind the Pirates. and only two games ahead of John McGraws New York Giants.
 Clarence Mitchell pitched the Cards to their easy triumph over the Cubs at Chicago The Cards scored two runs in the second and two in the fourth before they pound- ed Charie Root and Srnny Horne ont of the box with an eight run rally in the sixth. Chick Hcfey hit his 17th homer of the season in this frame.
 Remy Kremer shut out the Reds until the ninth when pu, 'y's triple and sacrifice gave Cincinnati it's or!y run. The Pirates had punched four of their five hits off Jackie May in the first and fifth innings to score two runs. 3'st enough to give them the victory.

St. Louis. June IS L49 When Douthit goes after them he gets them.
 That's what they say in St. Louis about the Cardinals great little centerfelder who is out ahead of most of the major league center gardeners again this year.
 Douthit has been central figure in the splendid defensive play of the Red Birds during their remarkable showing of the last four years.
 The first big league player to make 100 hits in 1928. Douthit fin- ished the season with more assists and putouts combined than any out fielder in either league. He is gath ering them in just as regularly this year and again is helping those cele- brated Cardinals make a close pen nant race in the National league.
 Last year Douthit whose full name is Taylor Lee Douthit. accept ed 577 chances. This was 121 more chances than was credited to Earl
  Combs, king of American league outfielders.
 Taylor had 547 putouts and 10 assists. His closest competitor for defensive honors among National league outfielders was Lloyd Waner. Pittsburgh flash, who made good in 433 chances.
 Douthit slumped badly in batting toward the close of 1928. but fin ished with an average of .295. His batting eye still was bad during the " orld series, in which he hit only .091. but the fleet Arkansas lad wiped out memories of that poor showing with his 1929 comeback.
 Near the mid-June mark, he led the American league in runs scored with s1 to his credit and was hit ting the ball at a 1929 clip.

and how to escape the fear as well
as death itself is the real problem
of this play.
Captain Stanhope, played with

plete abandonment when under
great stress by Charles Cullum, has
fear in his heart that can easily
shatter his nerve. But he has car
ried on for three years and has the
reputation Of being the best captain
that England had over there.
How did he keep fear and the yell
low streak out of his being? BY
whisky. He could drink a quart in
no little time and then "pick up his
own hat" and walk home, the dug
out.
So Stanhope drowned himself in
booze and this at times exaggerated
his emotional explosions. And he
has explosions. violent. terrible,

10 pegln With Journeys End, IS
not a strong language play. It is
the strongest emotional war play,
even in its simplicity, that I have
ever witnessed on the stage.
While What Price Glory cursed
the war into its grave, Journeys
End" gives You the natural emo
tional side Of the terrible racket.
In Journeys End" we are con-
cerned more with the attitude OF
English officers toward the war than
the doughboys.
The entire action Of the three acts
takes place in an officers dugout IN
the British trench before st. Quen-
tin, March, 1918.
At the opening of that dugout is
the roar and the almost sure guer-
sntee Of death. At times, it all be-
comes so very still that even the
officers complain and worry because
it is so still and 50 different than
one naturally expects.
The only light in the dugout is
the light of candles on a crude
wooden table of Captain Stanhope
which serves as his desk as well as
the mess table for the officers.
Even around the top of one of the
candle holders you even hear from
one Of the. officers that it is the
race track for a large cockroach that
develops jolly fine speed.
And We learn that when the Of
fcer5 stage a cockroach race there
is a trick even to this sport. Just
dip the cockroach in whisky and
the speed attained Is most satisfac-
tory to the master of the cockroach.
Just a Candle
AS the curtain goes up on the first
act, you see an officer calmly toast
ing a sock, "a really beautiful sock"
over the flame of a candle.
He explains to Lieutenant Os-
borne that this really beautiful
sock" keeps the feet dry but it really
picks up a lot of water
This first dash of realism struck
me a terrific blow right at the be-
ginning of the play. 1t seemed TO
me to be a guarantee that R. c.
Sheriff. the author of the play,
was going to give us real human
situations.
Even the officers find time, during
hurried meals and not so good
when questionable outlets resem-
bling liver is served and the tea
tastes of onions, to talk of the
natural things of life.
Second Lieutenant Trotter is a
cockney who refuses to let the war
rob him of his sense of regular
humor. He has garden at home
and he proudly exhibits a photo
graph of one hollyhock that meas
ured ever so much in height.
Trotter tells you once that he
