Century Record Seems Safe but 22O and 300 in DANCE
/ PORTS CHATS !
With Hal EuStdce

SOME FOLKS will insist or TAX
ing their baseball seriously. They
never seem to learn that baseball
Is but a game. 1t Is not worth max
ing scene over. much less aSsaulting
an umpire who + calling them as
he sees them. Several highly parti-
san fans attempted to assault
Umpire Brown OF Harrington here
Sunday after a close decision on the
last out Of the game. He and sever
al innocent bystanders. including
Bernard Lebowitz, were hit by
rocks. That sort OF thing should
nev happen under any clrcum-
stances. It's absolutely unexcusable.
THE FANS were highly keyed up
in the last inning. The o was
AZ against Brownsville with two
down and a man on third. Ramos
back-Englished out past the pitchex
and Rigney had TO come in fast TO
take 1t. The play at first was close.
and personally. We would not like
TO have been the umpire. If Ramos
was safe. the score was Az with the
tieing run on the sacks. Otherwise
he was out and the game was over.
Umpire Brown called him out.
WE HOPE the rest OF the Valley
won't be too hard on US because OF
the outbreak Of a handful Of rabid
partisans. These things happen II
the best OF circles. How about the
Aggie- Baylor killing at Waco sever
al years back? How about the time
the Harrington fans attacked Red
Irvine's Junior high football team
four years back. How about Coxs
and 5cheupbach's fight in the Nc
allen-Harlingen football game last
season. These things happen every
where. There will be no more OF II
here this season-we have Spit
Clark's word for It.
JUST TO illustrate how thu
Brownsville fans were keyed UP OF
that last play: We were talking d
a quiet. retiring fellow after tn
game and jokingly asked him II n

He startled US by exploding: NC

that Umpire Brown had made
bad decision. We won't 90 that f.

Director Of Ohio Relays

When news OF track and field
performances adorn the sports pages
Of the press each year. conjectures
are written with regard to the Ill
innate records that Will be made.
When the century was run In 9.6
seconds in 1906, experts agreed that
Kelly Of Oregon had reached the
peak OF the l00-yard dash perform
ances. This belief was strengthened
when no one could do better than
tie the record until In 1926.
Charlie Paddock and Roland Locke
turned the hundred in 9.5 seconds in
1926. to open the realm Of conJec-
lures once more. Today with George
Simpson. the sole possessor Of q "a
second hundred. in his last year of
collegiate competition, the run and
Jump fraternity is wondering
whether he has gained the peak or
may be expected to break his own
record.
1880 Talent Threatening
Coaches and athletes are agreed
that the present l00-yard dash rec
ord in practice with a time OF so

secure so long as the fastest hui
man" is allowed to roam the cindeI
paths. To be sure, the century rec
ord may fall this year before such
a field as Simpson, Bracey OF Rice
Tolan Of Michigan, Leland Of Texa:
Christian and others so evenly
matched as TO ability and crowdinl
each other in every meet Of import
ance.
Twice in competition Simpson Ia
equaled the worlds 220-yard dasl
record Of 20.6 seconds. Once he fin.
ished five yards ahead OF the fiel'
in the National Collegiate cham
pionships in 205 seconds, after pull
ing a tendon 80 yards from the tape
From these performances. it
evident that his tremendous spec
cannot express itself YER the 100
yard route as e~loquently as IL ca
over the longer distances.
IN the 300-yard dash. whicl

AZ THE CAPITOL

The play "Coquette' which is be- ing presented this week at the Capi- tol theater by the New York Play CTS should not be confused with the picture of the same name. The play at the Capitol is the original yer sion of the drama as presented !n New York by Jed Harris, one of America's most distinguished young CT producers. In it Helen Hayes starred for two seasons in New York and a third season on tour of the principal cities.
 'Coquette" is in sharp contrast to the light. breezy comedy present. ed by the New Workers last week. when Apron Strings" was the bill. This weeks drama is made of more serious stuff, and in it the cast demonstrates exceptional qualities of dramatic merit. According to the local dramatic reviewers the cast, and direction are hawless, and the setting in perfect taste.
 There will be a matinee next Sat urday at 2:15. Seat reservations may be secured for all of this weeks performances as well as next weeks, when another comedy, "Nancy's $ Private Affair" will be the offering.

AT THE, STRAND

The adventures of carnival barker who becomes initiated into the mysteries of cowboy fife bring in the laugh in William Haines latest talking comedy, Way Out West" which will open Thursday at the Strand theater with five acts of vaudeville, with cast which in cludes Leila Hyams, Polly Moran, Cliff Edwards, Francis X. Bushman Jr., Vera Marsh, Charles Middleton and others.
 The picture which was filmed on an Hopi Indian reservation near Gal lup, New Mexico, resulted in a the cast, namely that of working be- fore the camera for several days in gauge masks.
 The fun in one scene is bound up with misunderstood intentions, for Haines is trying 10 get the in jured heroine to a doctor while her friends, thinking he is trying to kid nap her, pepper the air close to his head with bullets.
 The ridiculous antics of the dude cowboy aided and abetted by the equally comic Cliff Edwards and Polly Moran are said 10 make this picture one of Haines' funniest to cate.
 Today for the last times the Strand presents "A Lady Sufren- derS"

Chicago, Oct. g (UP) - Radio can do a lot of things beside bring ing Amos n Andy to your living room, a visit to the ninth annual Chicago radio show revealed today.
 On display are radios or radio mechanisms that cauterize surgical wounds, regulates ones daily life, keep the milk sweet or drive an au- tomobile.
 Its really the science of cleo tronics that has made it all possi- ble," explained J. Elliot Jenkins, radio engineer and technical ad- wiser of the show. "Electrons are the tiny pieces of matter that bring symphony concerts and bedtime stories on your radio"
 The radio surgical knife which is heated by short radio waves while in use and thereby cauterizes its own incision, Elliott said, demon- strated a principle of electronics. The knife, it's promoters said. Twill save time in hurried operations.
 An electron is so small that it can not be seen with the most pow erful miscroscope," Q radio engineer divulged. Tt has a part, however, in the newer refrigeration systems, television and the X-ray.
