SHOT IS HURLED
81 FEET | INCH
Lyman of Stanford Breaks
World Mark in Defeat
of California.
By the Associated Press


= TANFORD STADIUM, Palo

one Herculean effort that
- sent the 16-pound iron ball
out farther than it had ever been
tossed before in organized COM
petition, John Lyman, STAN
fords great weight star, march,
ed into the hall of ShOt-putting
fame today while 10000 fans
saw Stanford defeat the Cali
fornia track team, 81 to so.
On his first heave Of the day. the
20O-pound blond, who has been fiirt-
ing with world record distances all
Spring, spun the shot 81 feet l inch.
1t bettered all existing marks, both
world and American, and put the
big fellow in class by himself, for
the time being at least.
A week ago Lyman served notice on
the track and field world to expect
almost anything when he tied the
American mark of SO feet 6 inches,
set a few weeks ago by Jack Tor
rance at the Louisiana State relays.
The recognized world record was
made in 1882 by Frank Douda Of
Czechoslovakia, who turned in the
amazing distance of SO feet l2 inches.

THEY made Ekky 1-to-2 choice
and were not disappointed. The
champions margin over S. w.

was only length at the end of the
one and one-sixteenth mile journey,
but it might as well have been 10
lengths had Jockey Raymond Sonny
Workman so desired Allan Ryan's
Larranaga was four more lengths to
the rear in third place, while Mrs.
Dodge Sloane's entry of Caeser's Ghost
and Inlander brought up the rear.
Equipoise's one brief burst of speed
came at the head of the stretch
when Workman let him out just long
enough to take the lead. Once in
front, Workman again took a tight
hold on the reins and through the
stretch kept the champion under re-
straint.
Although Workman was standing
up in his saddle, checking the son
Of Pennant with all his might, the
time of the race was 144 2-5, only
two-flfthS Of second of the track

It is remarkable perhaps that among
i these 20 voted the greatest Ameri-
can racers of the last half century,
the leading money winner of all time,
namely, Sun Beau, s376.744 does not

The late Jimmy Rowe, one of the
foremost of American trainers, if not
the premier, like his contemporary,
the late William Preston Burch, was
reluctant to admit that Man O. War

Luke Blackburn couldn't do. Mr.
Rowe, according TO Preston Burch, son

Puts Hindoo First.

"THE four best horses I think I
have seen in my SO years on the
turf" he says, were Hindoo
Luke Blackburn, Man O War and
Sysonby," Joyner told the writer.
The four best mares" he added
"were Miss Woodford, Firenze, Artful
and Beldame and I should like to add
Imp to this list.
Imp was a great mare, stood more
hard work than most stud horses. and
always seemed to thrive on it. I think
her race against Ethelbert in the
Brighton Cup of 1900 was one of the
greatest fought races by a mare ever
saw, even if she was beaten"
Henry Mcdaniel another veteran
trainer, remarks that Man O. War was
the most brilliant" racer he ever saw,
Exterminator the greatest gelding Miss
Woodford, Regret and Artful the great
est mares and Diavolo the best slayer
of the last 10 years.
The opinions of Americas most
prominent horsemen were sought that
it might be established Just which
American race horse should be placed
at the top of the county's 20 leading
horses of the last SO years, and with
some so replying. Man O. War led
Sysonby and Colin by only one vote.
Exterminator is universally con-
ceded by horsemen to have been the
outstanding champion among the un-
sexed stars of the turf.
Necessarily the ancestry of all
American race horses trace back to
the British equine aristocracy. In
deed, our American stock inevitably
must have been linked with the blood
of British and other foreign thorough
breds. as were all these latter with the
thoroughbreds that go back to the
original desert horses, the Godolphin
Arabian. the Byerly Turk and the
Darley Arabian.
Lexington, as a racer and sire, more
than any other American horse of
the early days, has stamped the ma
tive race horse with the brand Amer
lean" But the British persistently
have refused to grant that Lexington
was a thoroughbred because they
never have been satisfied that Alice
Carneal. LeXington's dam, was pure
bred. And Man O. War through his
paternal lines goes back to Lexington.

said.
Court proceedings were resorted to
in only a few of the adjustments,
which varied from $1O0 to $4,000 in
total amounts. Negotiations also
have been successful in obtaining
compliance with the wage and hour
provision of the code by numerous
other mills.

PICKET SIGNS
Must Not Lie, N. Y. Mayor
Says

New York.-Mayor F. H. LaGuar-
dia, of the nations metropolis, found
it necessary to begin interpreting his
order to the police to permit mass
picketing almost before the ink with
which it was written was dry.
He denied the report that he would
prohibit mass picketing by unions not
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor, but announced that all
mass picketing would be barred in
front of theatres at which the en-
trance and exit Of customers would be
hindered by the pickets.
The mayor added that signs carried
by pickets "would have to tell the
truth" and that he would permit no
"misstatement by voice by voice or
sign that interferes with legitimate
business and is unfair competition.
Dual Union Criticized
In an additional Interpretation OF
the order Mayor LaGuardia discussed
the complaint of the Loew's Theatre
Corporation, which has an agreement
with Local 306 of the Motion Picture
Operators Union, an A. F. of L. af-
filiate. The Loew theatres are picket
ed by members of the Empire Motion
Picture Operators, dual union.
"The rival union, the Empire, can't
have mass picketing in front of the
theatres" the mayor said, "for the
simple reason that the old employees
are at work and there is no strike.
| The whole thing is to carry out the
law, and the law must be construed
by the courts and not by individual
| precinct commanders. And have to
uphold the federal laws as we'll as
| the state laws
| He said he would force the Empire
union to change the wording of it's
pickets' signs, which state that the
theatres are unfair to union labor.
The name of the A. F. of L. union is
printed in small letters.

TEACHERS
Union Officers Urge New
Social Goal

New York.-In an address at the
National Schoolmart and Schoolview
here, DIR. Abraham Lefkowitz, legis-
lative representative of the Teachers
Union, urged reorganization of
American schools around the basic
concept of cooperation for common
social goal. He also stressed the
education so that it function as
social and stabilizing force. He said:
"Today we owe it to our children
to so reorganize our schools that they
will function efficiently and socially
in our complex chronological civiliza-
ton. This must be done because our
inherited, unbridled individualism has
outlived it's usefulness, bringing un-
employment, war and misery in it's
wake.

alton for common social goal. Only
