STAGE IS READY FOR PENN RELAYS
Records May Be Broken When Athletes Clash Today

Philadelphia, April 25 (P)-Tha setting for brilliant and, possibly, record breaking achievements by two of Americas foremost young athletes, Barney Berlinger of Penn sylvania and Leo Lermond of the Boston A, A., shared the spotlight with team ambitions today in the opening program of the thirty-siXth annual Pennsylvania relay carnival.
 Berlinger, strapping young all- around star, with no particular op- position in sight unless it was forth coming from Bob Todd of Indiana, | figured to take substantial crack at his own carnival record of 729S points in the decathlon, if not the American record of 77S4.6S points, set by Ken Doherty of Detroit. The Pennsylvania ace, improving stead fly since he was expected to set a fast pace on the all day shift, start ing at 10 a. m. and winding up at 5:41 p. m.
 Lermond, just back from an Aus tralian tour, had his eye on Tommy Conneff's 35-year- world record of minutes, 4-5 seconds for the three quarter mile run. He facel minor opposition for his record at tempt but an impressive perform ancc today would boost his pros- poets of victory tomorrow in anoth- CT special race, at one mile, with Ray Conger, as a rival.
 Ohio States entry in the fastest human" contest, George Simpson, was the outstanding individual star in the galaxy of relay talent. He was expected to help the Buckdycs make a strong bid to retain the quarter-milc university relay honors and indicate what might be cxpecte ] when he toes the mark Saturday III the special 100-yard dash. Simpson raced the century in the smashing time of Q 3-5 seconds on Franklin field q year ago, several weeks be- fore his famous "ninc-tWo' with the starting blocks at Chicago. Just a week ago he did "nine-threc" at Pittsburgh.
 Pennsylvania Georgetown, Syra- cusc, Pittsburgh, Penn State and Chicago were other contcnders for the sprint relay honors.
 The medley relay championships drew strong fields, with Pennsyl vania, Penn State, Georgetown and New York University the favorcd d outfits in the distance medley and N. Y. t., Chicago, Ohio State and Holy Cross picked to make most Of the running in the sprint medley race.
 More than 5000 athletes, repre- senting 500 schools, colleges and universities were gathered for the day carnival, involving a pro- gram of nearly 1vU events The middle west and south, as we'll as Canada, were strongly rcpresente {! in contests with the pick of eastern talent.

BALTIM0RE'S WINNING STREAK IS SHATTERED
In the Only International League Game Yesterday Leaders Are
 Swamped By Montreal.

By the Associated Press
 Baltimore's winning streak in the International League finally has been halted.
 In the only league game the weather man permitted yesterday. the Orioles were swamped under flock of Montreal Royal hits and went down to their first defeat in seven games, 2 to 1.
 The Royals put the game into the winning column as early as the sec- ond inning when they punched hits off Chambers and Hearn for five runs. After that it was a process sion of Royal baismen around the bases. All told the Canadians col lected 19 hits, including five home runs and four doubles. Haines got two of the home runs and had three doubles. Herb Thormahlen pitched just well enough to keep the Orioles from threatening. He was touched for nine safeties but the Orioles could not bunch them sufficiently to keep within striking distance Gf the Royals.
 The three postponements of ye5-. terday brought league total so far to fifteen.

CHILL AND DAMP WEATHER
 HAMPERS BASEBALL CLUBS
Chicago Cubs the Only Team to Have Played All of Its Games So Far - St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit
 Tigers Suffer One Postponement Apiece - Only Two Contests Are Staged Yesterday - Browns Beat Tigers While Cards Down National League Champs
tlie Associated Press.

By ths Associated Press.
 The present chills and dampness of spring appear to be storing up trouble for major league baseball teams almost as fast as they are piling up double headers. Only one club so far, has played all it's games. The Chicago Cubs have this honor, and the St. Louis Cardinals and De- troit Tigers also have escaped seri- ous consequences with but one post ponement apiece.
 More cold weather yesterday caused the postponement of all but two major league games and neither Of these proved very profitable to the club owners. Only about 1000 St. Louis fans turned out to see the Browns beat Detroit, 12 to 4, while about three times that number ap- peared at the Cubs park in Chicago to see the St. Louis Cardinals down the National league champions, 9 10 ?.
 For the rest, the cold was piling Up more grief. The Boston Braves, for example, seem headed for some- thing like the slaughter of Septcm- Der 1928 when they played four suc- cessive double headers against the New York Giants and lost all eight games. The Braves now have five twin bills to play against New York and each one makes the prospects look better for the Giants, who have less need to conserve their strength. The New York Yankees are In similar difficulties. Out of six games scheduled against Philadelphia Ath- letics, they succeeded in playing only the opener in each city. And the Yankees have rather small staff of starting pitchers. i'll fitted 10 en- dure the rigors of a succession of twin bills while the champion Ath- letics seem ready to so as far as they like with overtime play.
 l, The Chicago White Sox also seem on the way to trouble with six double headers scheduled against the Cleve- land Indians and St. Louis Browns, beth of whom have more pitching strength to throw into the battle.
 Although St. Louis gained all the glory In the two games that did survive yesterday, the teams owe it to select few players. George Fish CT, slugging young outfelder, played the leading role as the Cardinals downed the Cubs, scoring one run and driving in four with a single, two doubles and sacrifice in four trips to the plate. Chick Hafey fol- lowed the example Fisher set in the previous inning when he tripled with the bases loaded to bring in three of the five runs St. Louis scored in that inning. Sylvester Johnson hurled the entire route for the Cards.
 Fred Schulte and Chad Kimsey di- rided the honors in the Browns trl- umph over Detroit. Schulte did most of the heavy hitting while Kimcey stepped in as relief pitcher when Herman Halshauser began to wab- ble and shut out the Tigers without a hit for four innings

Fog Forces Large
 Plane to Land Here
One of Colonial Air Transport Cens- panys Huge Cabin Ships Finds
 Safety at Larned Field

One of the tri-motored passenger planes of the Colonial Air Transport Co. plying between Boston and New York. made q forced landing on the field recently acquired by the Put nam Airports Inc. A heavy ceiling of fog forced the plane down short ly before eleven o'clock Saturday morning. The fog lifted and the plane took of again shortly after noon.
 The large cabin plane was seen fiy- ing low over the city. Proceeding westward it was seen to circle about and it was evident that the pilot was looking for a place to land. Having spotted the Larned field the pilot brought the plane to safe landing.
 Travel Light
 There were but three passengers on board the plane, two men and a woman. When the plane landed people who had seen the plane drop rapidly earthward rushed to the field. The crowd was kept away from the ship and none were allow ed to approach the vsitor.
 The pilot was in immediate com munication with the terminal in Bos- ton and received Instructions to await the lifting of the ceiling of fog before taking of again. This was the first forced landing made by any of the company's planes in East ern Connecticut
 Whitman Danielson, one of the incorporators of the Putnam Air ports Inc, went to the field. The pilot told him that the field was ex- cellent one for landing large planes. At the present time there is nothing to mark the field for the guidance of pilots.
