THE SPORTLICHT
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

told me he would have given the
Argentine fighter all three rounds.
A correct decision here would have
given Argentina the boxing champion
ship with something to spare.
But most Of the bouts were disap-
pointing. About 90 Ter cent was an
exposition of the art of self-defense,
with little aggressivaness at any point.
Even Alberto Santiago Lowell. the black,
Argentine heavyweight. supposed to be
a man killer was en- the mild side. He
was certainly no hurricane in action,
although the best heavyweight of the
lot.
THE most consistent strength of the
i United States remained with the
divers. Bob women and men
finished 1-2-3 in every test-the spring
beard championships and the high
diving. They were far beyond the best
of the invading nations. There was no
one close to such diving stars as Georgia
Coleman. Mickey Riley, Dutch Smith
and others-who won in romp with
out being pressed. This is one spot
where outside nations need better
coaching and tra.ning. The material
must be there, if it's only directed III
the right way.
The senc thing goes for women's
swimming Herc again the United
States has a big jump with such star
performers as Helene Madison. Eleanor
Holm, Elinor Kight and others doni-
mating the m nine side.

LONE WEAK POINT
BAR TO GREATNESS.
Defective Service Has Held
Back Helen Jacobs, Now
Nearing Goal.
BY GALE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

"OREST HILLS, N. Y, August IT.
! - The difference between
champion and a near champion
| sometimes is so slight that it
| takes a professional observer to locate
| the dividing line
Take the case of Helen Jacobs, some
times known as Queen Helen H. who
apparently is on the verge Of winning
the women's national tennis crown for
the first time after six years of earnest
| effort
| Against almost any woman in the
world, except Mrs. Helen Wills Moody,
whom she never has quite been able to
beat. Miss Jacobs looks to the lay eye
! like a near perfect tennis player. ThoSe
! who watched her Subdue such star
as Virginia Rice by scores of 6-1, 60,
! in the second round of the champion
! ship tournament yesterday, found II
difficult to understand why she never
has been able to break through when
| the big title was at stake.
| But it is no mystery to George Agut-
| ter, veteran professional at the West
| Side Tennis Club here, who has known
practically every famous player OF the
present century and has coached most
! of them.
She's really 4 great player" he said,
| referring to the tournament favorite.
She has every stroke except one al
most to perfection, but that one weak
point probably has kept her from win
| ming the title long before this.
1T is her service. She hits it slightly
| too quick, just when it is at the top
of the toss, instead of waiting for it
to start falling and getting her weight
behind it. Just matter of inches, but
enough to keep her from getting the
| full advantage of a strong, accurate
service Mrs Moody has practiced until
| she has no real weakness, and that Is
! why she is the greatest"
The feature match on today's pro-
gram brought together Virginia Hilleary,
seventh seeded American, and Mrs.
! Elsie Goldsack Pittman, leader of the
! English forces. Joan Ridley of England
| also faced some stern opposition in
Alice Marble, San Francisco girl, who
| yesterday sprang the first upset OF the
meet in defeating Sarah Palfrey.

HILL AND LEHTINEN
IN RACE TOMORROW
Disputed 5,000-Meter Event to Be
Rerun in Post-0lympics
at Chicago.

CHICAGO, August 1.-THE most
~ disputed event of the tenth Olym-
pic games, the 5,000-meter run in
which Lauri Lehtinen of Finland was
acclaimed to have fouled Ralph Hill of
the United States. will be contested
again on Soldier Field here, Thursday
night. With both Hill and Lehtinen
entered in the distance chase, the 5000
meter run will be the feature event Of
the post Olympic games here in which
athletes from IS nations will compete.
1t will be remembered that in the S.
000-meter run at Los Angeles. Hill was
threatening to pass the Finlander on
the home stretch when Lehtinen twice
crossed in front of the Oregonian
Whether or not Hill had sufficient re-
serve to pass the Finn is an open ques-
tion, but undeniably Lehtinen's swerves
from the pole lane prevented the United
States star from making a finish sprint
Hill took his defeat and the whole
incident in gallant manner, but 1t Is
we'll known he relishes the idea of an
other chance to beat Lehtinen. Both
men are in prime condition and with
the Soldier Field track acknowledged to
be one of the fastest in the country this
second race should be a thriller.
