Hot Fight for Second Place.

THE seventh Olympic day found Ger
many and Finland in desperate
struggle for second place. Finland led
up to todays count, with Germany
battling down the stretch, and Finland
equally keyed up, and with a promise
Of finishing thrills.
Once again Finland proved her
stamina at 5000 meters in the fastest
and rougheSt race ever run for this
distance. It looked at times like
blocking backs at work at Minnesota,
Pittsburgh. Notre Dame or Army.
Don Lash of Indiana made stout
effort in the first half of the long
race to stay with the Firms, but was
badly outrun. The American star be-
gan to fade after hard elbow dig in
the ribs by Salminen of Finland, who
later stumbled and fell after running
what he apparently thought was the
grand national at Aintree.
Hoeckert of Finland was far too fast
for the field, breaking the former
Olympic record by more than seven
seconds and loafing down the stretch.
Louis zamperini, 19-year-old Torrance,
Calf, school boy, ran the best time for
this distance of any American runner,
but still finished far away, and was
entirely outclassed. Lash attempted
to match the Firms in the early part
of the race, and was run into the
earth. He had no chance this time.
The Films have us outclassed be-
yond the mile. They live on their
legs, not in motor cars. There was
plenty jostling, elbow jabbing and
rough riding, but Hoeckert was by far
the best, anyway.
Williams, the California Negro run
ner, wcs too fast for Brown of Eng
land and Luvalle of California. Will
liams finished all out, wobbling on his
legs, in ass, three-tenths of a second
back of Carr's Los Angeles mark. He
turned in the sixth victory for the
American all-brownS, who have left
large gaping dent in Nordic ath-
letic supremacy.

Foxx ClOutS Thirty-Second.

TIMMY FOXX helped to put Ferrell
" back in the game when. in the
fourth inning he led of with his thirty
second home run of the season, a
drive that landed high in the left-feid
bleachers. Although Kroner followed
with a single, Whitehill suppressed the
rally and escaped without damage. De-
spite two more hits in the fifth. he
again got away, and in the seventh he
did a remarkable bit Of pitching and
pulled out of a hole that meant the
game.
The first three men to face him

singled in succession to fill the bases,
With Manush and Foxx on deck 1t
looked as though Boston's big inning
had arrived, but Heinie only fouled to
Miles, who caught great game, and
Foxx slammed into fast double play,
That Boston tied the score in the
eighth inning was not Whitehills fault,
After Kroner singled, Lewis booted
McNairs grounder. Cronin's sacrifice
and Rick Ferrells outfleld fly sent
Kroner across.
Ferrell, after the opening inning, was
great. In the four frames he pitched
hitless ball. After being nicked fol-
two meaningless hits in the sixth, Wes
resumed his hitless stride, and going
into the last of the tenth he had re-
tired IL straight batters in order.
Then, with two down, Miles singled
to center and Whitehill walked up and
plunked a double past the slow-mov'
ing Manush to break up the game.

Record Polo Turnout.

MORE than 10000 persons saw the

tine crush Great Britain, II to 0. The
Argentines, twice Olympic winners
and outclassing this field, are headed
for the United States to meet the
winner of the open championship at
Meadowbrook, where they expect to
win again. The Argentines rode
their Olympic rivals off the field be-
fore the greatest crowd that ever saw
q polo game in Europe.

THE Cubs-Cards and Red-Pirates
L clashes were part of a consider
ably curtailed program in the majors
yesterday.
The Giants fired 15-hit assault at
three Phillie pitchers for 9-3 deci-
sion, their fifth straight, and their
eighteenth in "a starts, to gain ground
on the leaders.
The Cleveland Indians saved their
second place grip in the American

White Sox behind Denny Galehouse's S
seven-hit pitching, while the Senators
nosed out the Red Sox, 80, in 10 in

Tigers and Athletics were idle in the
American League, while the Dodgers

S0x' Lead Takes Cut.

THANKS to Whitehills victory in
the opener of the Red Sox series
the outlook for the Nationals was
somewhat brighter today. For the first
time in weeks they played an intelli-
gent ball game and right up to the
hilt. They cut Boston's lead for fifth
place to two full games and left them
selves a chance to sneak into a tie
before the current series is wound up,
although this would involve sweeping
the set.
It might be we'll, too, for the Griff-
men to effect a brace now. Following
their games today and tomorrow with
the Red Sox. Bucky Harris clan will
hit the road again and spend next
week on an Eastern tour whose begin
ming will be in New York. Unless the
Griffs are a better ball club than
they've been for the last few weeks
they hardly can expect to pick up
much ground in their first division
fight in the home of the high-fying
Yankees.
Whitehill gave a courageous exhi-
bition yesterday IN chalking up his
eighth victory of the campaign. He
was socked for II hits by the Red
Sox, whose Mr.. Ferrell held the Mats
to half that many. But at press time
they still were paying of on runs.

Slight Hope for u. S. Swimmers.

A DOLPH KIEFER, Chicago, holder
of virtually every back-stroke
record, was considered the only GER
tain winner on the mems team. In
the absence of Mrs. Eleanor Holm
Jarrett, such a capable observer as
Dutch Smith, coach of the German
team, was predicting that American
women wouldn't place in a single
race, much less win.
Mrs. Dorothy Poynton Hill of Los
Angeles was conceded a bright chance
to capture the platform diving title,
but that, say the experts, would be
the American crop.

Two Events Conceded.

IT SEEMED that only two events
on today's program would escape
the American scourge Trying to
head off the Firms in events like the
3,000-meter steeplechase has come to
amount almost to a waste of motion,
though some thought that either Joe
McCluskey of the New York A. c.
or Glen Dawson of Tulsa, Okla,
might be somewhere about at the
finish.
Certainly they couldn't absorb a
much fiercer licking than Don Lash
of Indiana University got in yester-
days 5000-meter event from the
blond Vikings.
The German quartet, which re-
Gently set a new world record, was
considered most likely to take the
women's 400-meter relay, despite the
presence of Helen Stephens, the Full
ton, Mo-, star, on the American team.
If her mates could give her anything
less than 10-meter deficit, however,
she probably would make very close
thing of it.
With track and field rapidly draw
ing to a close, the swimming events
opened in full blast in the pool ad-
joining the great stadium, and If the
Japanese, Dutch and Germans are
all they are cracked up to be, it prom
ises to go hard for the Americans.

~ may be setting but Earl
Whitehill, dean of Washing
Il Il tons pitchers in point of age
and continuous service, lives TO con-
found critics who professed to read
the handwriting on the wall and who
counted him out as a first-magnitude
star. If Dempsey thought Tunney
was hard to count out he can find
many a fellow "long- count" victim in
those who have been tolling over
Whitehill.
Today is a particularly good day
to throw posies at the Nationals Mr..
Whitehill, who yesterday ended an
other losing streak by one of his best
pitching efforts of the year. For nine
innings Earl pitched to a draw with
Boston's Wes Ferrell and in the tenth
frame he broke up the ball game with
a rousing double that scored Walter
Miles with the run that meant
3-to-2 victory.
In his effort Whitehill proved pretty
conclusively that when the chips are
on the table he still is tops as Wash
ington's money" pitcher. His arm
has lost some of the old WhitehiIl
speed but apparently Earl has lost
none of his abundance of what the
boys call moxie.
