 For Mary is eight years old. She's

 proper height for her dives.
 Despite this handicap, Mary's
 dives were pretty slick. Not pret-

 for anybody. And she did 'em all-- jack -knifes, back somersaults. run ming half twists, gathers and spin ners.

BILLCARR PICKED
 TO BEAT EASTMAN
 AFTER TRIAL HEAT

(Unlte0 Press stan COrreSpOn0ent)
 Palo Alto, Cal, July 16-UP)- Forty thousand spectators swarmed into Stanford stadium to-day to watch Americas track and field stars make their final bid for Olimpic team places after shatter- ing two world records and equal ing third Friday.
 The 270 athletes who bucked a stiff breeze yesterday knocked down three Olympic records and one American mark as well as the world records in cutting thel lst of eligibIes down to 100 for to- days finals.
 The new world records were set in the shot put, and the discus throw, and the record for the no meter high hurdles was equalled.
 The dopesters look for another record to fall to-day in the pole Vault, and they reversed earlier opinions in the sprints predicted that middlewesterners and east erners would set the pace.
 Great Posses
 :, Leo Sexton, N. Y. A. C., pro- sduced the first thrill Friday when he set a new worlds record in the shot put. His mark of 52 feet, 8 inches, beat the former mark by one-half inch.
 John Anderson, Sexton's team mate, followed this with g. discus throw of 165.54 feet. The breeze helped him, however, beat the world record of 163 8A inches.
 George Sailing. Iowa, skinned sDver the 110 meters hurdles in 14.6 seconds, 2-10 of a second bet ter than the American record and equal to the 1928 Olympic record.
 Eddie Tolan, Michigan's negro 8printer, was the talk of the meet. Against the wind he covered the loo meters in 10.4 seconds, which sequalled the world record.
 Ralph Metcalfe. Marquette's new star, was expected to en- counter hard competition from Toian in the 200 meters dash to-

CAMPBELL REGAINS
POST AT FULLBACK
Poor Showing Against William

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, october 5.-One
probable result of the poor showing
of the Naval Academy foot ball team
against william and Mary Saturday
is the return of Soupy Campbell to the
position of fullback, which he occupied
regularly the two previous seasons.
Campbell has been on the injured
list for three weeks. and 1t was
thought he might have been passed
by Waybright or Erck, but the steadl-
ness of the veteran was needed badly
Saturday when he played for only
short time, and he was back In ms
old place at practice yesterday.
Campbell is the only out and out
regular of last year now on the team.
Capt. Reedy having played the guard
position last year only after an injury to
Thompson, now member OF the coach
ing staff.
Dornin, Fulp and McNaughton are
being tried on ends. The ends who
started. Saturday, Murray and Pray,
were not impressive and were not apt
in catching passes. Dornin, Plebe
last year, IS particularly clever in this
department Of the game At least one
Of the tackles also may be changed.
Offensive practice was the rule yester-
day. The coaches handling three teams

riff VAGUE on Reason for Johnson Much Trading Due Old Lea
TR0UNC|NG Of CUBS
TO PROMOTE DEALS
Babe Herman Likely to Go to
Chicago, but PhiIIies Should
Keep Klein.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

n YEW YORK, october s.
mi Player trades on an in
/ y creased scale are indicated
in the National League as
a result of the defeat of the Chi
cago Cubs in the world series,
which has strengthened the con-
fidence of the other seven clubs
in the league that some one Of
them will win the pennant in
1888.
There will be less opposition TO
trades than there might have been If
Chicago had won. A decisive victory
by the Cubs over the Yankees would
have centered the minds of the other
National League club owners upon re-
tanning players for fear of meeting a
high-powered Chicago team next year.
THE thorough trouncing given the
i Cubs has convinced their rivals
that the champions Of their league
do not prevail in pitching. Probably
it has convinced the owners OF the Chi
cago club that they will have to make
new plans for their pitchers next year.
as we'll as obtain increased batting pow
er. From the start of the season, Chi
cago was obviously in need Of at least
one more powerful hitter.
st. Louis, Brooklyn, Philadelphia,
Boston and Pittsburgh, while taking
the loss of the world series to heart be-
cause the fans always look upon the
series as a test between leagues. abb
sorbed more confidence for 1888 the
harder the Cubs were licked. Even
the Giants owners were convinced that
they can come back strong next year
if the Cubs are no better than they
proved to be against the Yankees.
The outcome will be National
League race in 1888 which again Will
be close, though perhaps not quite as
close as that of 1882, as it seems i'm
possible for two races Like that OF this
year to be staged in succession.
THERE still is talk that Babe Herman
i OF the Cincinnati Reds will go to
Chicago next season. He wants to
go to Chicago. The Cubs need hitter
of his type The present team will I'M
prove little in its batting next year.
Possibly Demaree will be started in an
outfield position in 1888. He was easily
the best kid player who took part in
the world series.
Repeated dSSSIllOllS ildNc UcCA lAo0C
that the Philies might release Chuck
Klein. At the present moment there
is not possibility Of that. Minds may
change, but the Philiies now have a
notion they may be champions Of the
National League next year.
THERE never has been any likelihood
J. that the circuit of the National
League would be changed. Evil
IDENTIFY some one has been trading on
the good nature of Sam Breadon, cwner
of the st. Louis club 1t requires unani-
nous consent to change major league
circuit. The National has no desire TO
extend its geographical limits. II
Montreal became part Of it, Philadel-
phia would have to be counted as
Western city-a ridiculous result. which
appears to have been overlooked by the
Montreal publicity seekers.

stronger than it was last year WEelI
the Yankees nosed it out for second
olace, and he attributed some OF the
teams non-success to Johnsons
frigid manner with his players.
This year Johnson's team made
good start but failed to keep up the
pace, although it probably finished
as well as could have been expected
against such opposition as the yam
KEGS and Athletics provided.
There has been knowledge this
season by those who know conditions
within the American League that
Washingtons failure to win the pen
nant would almost surely result IN a
change in management.
On the whole, johnson has been
very successful with the Washington
club. but some of the players have
compls ined frequently that he
seemed rather indifferent to them:
It undoubtedly was this attitude nf
coolness that induced Griffith to de-
eide to employ another manager N

by the Tigers of Detroit he almost i'm

It was not until Clark Griffith assumed
their MANAGEMENT in 1912 that the Ma
tionals began to rise in the base ball
world and with them johnson rose 10
even greater heights as pitcher.
Several times he was the Leading
moundsman of the American League
and in 1924, the year the washington
club for the first time won the Amerl-
can League pennant, Johnson was was
awarded the leagues diploma as the
most valuable player to his club in the

Johnson pitched SO effectively IN the
world series in which the Nationals met
the Giants. and his was the victory IN

with the players OF the
Washington base ball team cost MN
his job as manager.
The announcement made puohc
today by Clark Griffith, owner OF
the Senators, that Johnson would
be replaced as manager for the
1888 season will surprise many OF
walters. friends but not those VINO
have some knowledge OF what mas
been going on inside the Washing
ton club the last two years.
Since it last won the American
League pennant in 1925, the WASH

among the contenders except IN
1929. when it finished fifth. 1t was
in that year that johnson. for Il
years a pitcher in the American
Leag.<e. returned to the Senators as
manager. The club finished second
IN 1880, third In 1881 and third
again this year.
For two years Griffith has felt
That Johason has Stood G little 700

big pitcher did not seem to take
as much interest in the players as
some of the club officials thought
he might. That was due, perhaps,
more to Johnson's personal manner
than to any real loss Of interest IN
