the turn into the last lap. He did not

Isl, Eastman's 1:52.4.
LaSh's dead heat with Zamperini
was due primarily to the fact that the
Indiana star fell back during the lat
ter stages of the race to coach his
teammate, Tom Deckard.
This bit of by-play brought Deckard
along to qualify in third place, but
compelled Lash to make hard fight
to overhaul the 19-year-old Coast run

Manning Sets Chase Mark.
THE joint time of 15:04.2 for Lash
and Zamperini was not startling,
but there is no reason to alter the
conviction that the Hoosier star will
be Americas No. man in the 5000
as well as the 10000 meter race.
Kansas, besides furnishing the twin
stars of the 1,500, developed an out
standing Olympic hope in the 5000

had monopolized. Harold Manning
of Wichita, in asserting his mastery
over the veteran Joe McCluskey Of
the New York A. c., bettered all rec
ords for the obstacle race by finish
ing like a sprinter in 9:08.2.
This wiped out McCluskey's Amer
ican record of 9:14.5 and bettered the
Olympic mark of 9:14.6.
The field events, outside of the
jumps, produced few noteworthy per-
formances. The trojan Trio. Bill

ton, all bettered the Olympic pole
vault record by clearing IA feet 8

IVERPOOL.-A movement in
augurated since the last Grand
National Steeplechase to have
- the famous event abolished on
the ground of cruelty to animals. or
to have its hazards lessened, prom
ises to die a-borning.
Since the subject reached the
House of Commons and the home
secretary was asked to give it his at
tention, there has been such storm
of rebuttal from the side of the own
ers and trainers that there is slight
prospect of any action.
Americans may continue to buy
their sweepstakes tickets with every
confidence of getting a run for their
money. providing. of course, that they
draw a horse.
Even Mrs. Violet Mundy, fond own
er of the unfortunate Avenger. which
broke its neck while running sec
ond in this years race, scorns the
thought Of modifying Aintree's jumps.
Furl0ng Blasts Plan.
81 shall never forgive myself for
running my horse in the National"
she says. but ! wouldn't have it
abolished or changed. There is no
sport in which there is not some ele-
ment of risk and perhaps cruelty.

twice triumphant Reynoldstown,
blasts the whole proposition.

Tonight it begins to look as if
the grounding knew what he was
about this year. Last Sunday the
sun shone brightly and the moan
went up about six weeks more Of
winter. Didn't seem quite possible
at the time, but tonight a Sweede
from Minnesota would feel perfectly
as home slithering around on our
icy streets. - .+E"
Two-three inches of new snow
Monday and Tuesday gave evidence
yesterday of vanishing in the Chi
nook which got nicely started, blew
all night and this afternoon, switch
ed around to the north and began to
freeze up. Weather predictions for
tonight are for more snow, with
zero weather from Yakima to Wal
la. No relief is indicated for at least
SO hours.
Out in the Horse Heaven hills, the
weather is even more wintry, with
drifts piled up and several residents
marooned on account of the drifts
in the cuts along the road. The snow
there is welcome, however, for it
has an unusual moisture content,
according to Waldo Skuse, county
agent, and the wheat growers are
confident of moisture enough to as
sure a crop.
The kids who owned sleds got a
bang out of the cold and snow, and
Geo. Crutchfield showed up on the
streets yesterday with an, old-fash-
Toned pung drawn by couple Of
mules. The ponds on the river have
furnished skating for the past week
for those who have still kept their
skates and a large crowd has en-
joyed this sport every afternoon
and evening.
The cold spell is generally receiv-
ed as an omen of good crops by the
growers of the district, where the
early freeze did not do the damage
reported from the places further up
