well and Jim Chaplin, three Of them,
including his twenty-ffth double of
the season, by Billy Herman. They
hit only seven balls, including outs,

Galan had scored their initial run
in the first, when he singled to right
and, after O'Dea walked, came in
as Haslin kicked Demaree's grounder.
A PAIR Of passes to English and

in the fifth. With one out, Herman
hit what looked like an inning end

~ ALO ALTO, CALI, June 13.-
- West Coast foot racers today
carved out two of the most
formidable challenges made
this year for American Olympic berths.
Archie Williams, f1eet-footed Negro
star of the University of California,
stamped himself as Uncle Sans best
bet for 400-meter honors, with bril-
liant run of 46.3 seconds. 1t was one
tenth slower than the world and
Olympic games record set in 1882 by
Bill Carr.
Rivaling this performance was the
800-meter victory Of big Ben Eastman.
He won the middle distance event in
1905, seven-tenths of second short
of the worlds record he shares with
Tom Ampson of England.
Set Pace In Great Meet.
WILLIAMS and Eastman featured

Winners of the first three places in
each event qualified for the semi-flnal
trials in Los Angeles June IS and 81.
Outstanding performances also were
registered In the 110-meter hurdles,
the javelin and discus.
Leroy Kirkpatrick, husky timber
topper of San Mateo ]. c., equaled
the Olympic record for the 110 meters
at 14.4 seconds. The game record was
set in 1882 by George Sailing Of the
United States during a heat. The
worlds record is 142 seconds, made by

Bob Parke of the University OF Ore

holds the record of 222 feet 634 inches.
Giant Gordon Dunn, ranked as the

Tigers by only a handful Of
n percentage points, the Ma
tionals will bank on oil Peter Appleton
today to give them q chance Of reac-
quiring f1rst-division status in the final
game of the current home stand.
The opposition again will be pro-
vided by the White Sox, who annihi-
lated the Griffs yesterday by a 1872
count after having been shut out in
two previous games Of this series.
Today's game will mark the final
appearance of the Nationals until June

turn from its second tour of the West
to play the Athletics. The team will
leave tomorrow for Detroit, where the
tour will be opened.
Appleton, judging by his latest per-
formanceS, figures to give the Ma
tionals fighting chance to win the
Chisox series today. Last Tuesday, re-
turned to the status Of starting
pitcher, Pete set the Indians down with
q five-hit performance and won, 2 to 1.
THE heralded rivalry between Jake
Powell and the White Sox failed
to liven proceedings yesterday. If
any of the 5000 customers expected
to see fists thrown, they were disap-
pointed, for the Sox were much too
busy banging out hits and scoring
runs to be bothered with Powell.
Jake's usual work on the base paths.
too, was curtailed by Whitehead's
pitching. He only got on base twice,
and except for racing from first to
third in the seventh inning and even
tually scoring on an error by Man
ager Jimmy Dykes, the ex-Silver
Spring sandlotter had no chance to
go into his rough-riding act.
