with which he became the
1885 freshman sensation, and stretci-v~..
the Pirates winning streak to seven
games with to victory over the
New York Giants.
He struck out seven men, walked
only one, and in general held the
faltering Giants in the palm Of his
pitching hand from start to finish
as his mates dubbed out IA hits to
hand the New Workers their fifth
straight loss.
The Bucs ended Lefty AL Smiths
string of shutouts, which had reached
three, and scored a run in the first
inning to stop his 25-inning stretch
in which his opponents had gone
scoreless.
Fifth Inning Decides.
THE Pirates tucked the game away
with a four-run splurge in the
fifth, when they collected seven hits
and clubbed Smith from the mound.
Except for some fine throws on the
part Of the Giants, they would have
scored more runs this inning, for three
Of the Bucs were caught trying to
reach home plate.
Paul Waner and Cookie Lavagetto
led the Pittsburgh attack, the former
getting three singles and Lavagetto
smashing out a triple during the big
fifth-inning rally.

CLARENCE SCHLEIMER, who paid
his own expenses East and then
copped the shotput, and Delos Thur
Der. who made the best leap Of his
career to tie Dave Albritton in the
high Jump, gave the national collegi-
ate and Pacific Coast champions tie.
Ken Carpenter. the huge Trojan
discus toSser, showed a fash Of Olym-
pic form by heaving the plate 164.85
feet. while the high jump perform
ances of both Thurber and Albritton
were far over the Olympic mark.

season he sustained q fractured knuc-
kle and again was ineffective. This
year. so far, he has pitched in-and-
out ball. Yesterday, as the White Sox
ran roughshod over the Griffs by a

10 hits in less than six innings and
was booed from time to time by the

Mats Get Russell for '33.
p USSELL was traded from the Red
~ Sox to Cleveland during the 1882
season for Pete Appleton, who current
ly is a member of the washington
club. The following Winter the In
dams traded Russell to the Nationals,
along with Inf1elder Bruce Connaster,
for First Baseman Harley Boss. It
was one of the most profitable deals
that Grifith ever swung, and it
brought to the Washington team one
of the grandest fellows who ever pulled
on a uniform for the Griffith A. c.
Griffith, commenting on the deal
last night. was inclined to believe that
Cascarella, given chance to start
games, would prove helpful to the Ma
tionals. His record in 1884 was too
good to overlook" declared Griff.
There is chance that he may pitch
back to that year and if he does Cas-
carella should win with hitting team
like Washington. believe that Bucky
Harris intends to give him chance to
start games"
Russell, who was born in Paris, Tex,

Carolin Babcock Heroine,

A CCOLADES were heaped on Miss
Jacobs and Mrs. Fabyan for
registering the clinching victory, but
the silent heroine Of the series was
Carolin Babcock of Los Angeles. Her
brilliant play in yesterdays doubles
match saved the United States from
q shutout and today her -, As,
Ga victory over Ruth Mary Hard
wick, a newcomer in cup play, put
Uncle Sam back in the running.
Before Miss Jacobs and Mrs. Fab
yam pulled of their triumph, how
ever, they gave q big American col
ony in the stands many anxious mo-
ments. They were easy prey for the
Britons in the first set and then,
after returning to form. Miss Jacobs
muffed two match points in the final
set when they led 5-4. But the in
vaders braced and went out behind
Sarahs service.
Miss Jacobs, who felt she had let
the team down badly in losing two
singles matches, played like an aveng-
ing angel once she got started in
the second set and found q brilliant
little helper in Mrs. Fabyan as they
beat the all-England championship
combination.
Mrs. Fabyan. still smarting from
her ragged play yesterday against
Miss Round, started the American
victory ball rolling against Miss Stam-
mers. Her backhand was steady and
her eye for the sidelines was too keen
for her slugging opponent. When
Miss Stammers fell back on her
favorite drop shot, Sarah pounced on
it with evident JOY.

RUNS 1883 RACE
ON HEAVY TRACK
Driving Through Princeton
DoWnpour, Bests Nurmi's
Time Over Second.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

~ RINCETON, N. j., June 13.-
Donald r. Lash, sturdy, bar
rel-chested University of In
L diana runner, startled the
foot-racing world today by smashing
the renowned Paavo Nurmi's world
outdoor record for miles.
Sustaining burst of speed believed
beyond the range Of any American
distance racer, the 22-year-old Big
Ten champion reeled off the distance
in the amazing time of minutes 58.3
seconds.
To make it all the more dazzling,
Lash turned in his performance on
a thoroughly drenched track, in a
driving rainstorm and with nothing
but the huge Western Union time
clock to spur him on to his self
announced goal
A wildly cheering crowd of 10000,
quick to grasp the American youths
bid to surpass one of the Finnish
marvel's most priced records, saw
Lash finish with a sensational last-lap
drive to clip exactly $40 seconds
from Nurmi's mark Of 8:59.6, set in
Finland in 1881, and become the first
American in blue moon to join the
holders of world distance running
records.
1t was the second fastest 2 miles
In foot-racing history, indoors or out
Only Nurmi's indoor mark of 1882
made on the old Madison Square
Garden track in 1925, shades Lash's

Cochrane Likely
To Return Soon

DEROTT, June 13.-Tiger fans
cheered today by a report that
Manager Mickey Cochrane's steady
improvement may make it possible
for him to take his place again be-
hind the plate within q few days.
Hospital attaches reported that
Cochrane's physicians have not
found a definite trace of an over
active thryoid gland and that his
collapse in Philadelphia may have
been due entirely to nervous strain.
Rest at the hospital has reduced
the Tiger catcher's pulse and
metabolism rate to normal, and 1t

alton now appears remote.

in the International League, he COM
piled such good record that Boston
brought him back.
With the International Leaguers last
year Cascarella won II games and lost

won-and-lost record was his earned
run rating. In this department Joe

BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

~ WINGING what probably will be
Washington's only player swap
before the witching hour Of
~ midnight tomorrow, when deals
must end, Owner Clark Griffith of the
Nationals last night announced the
trade of Pitcher Jack Russell for
Pitcher Joe Cascarella Of Boston and
an unnamed amount of cash.
Russell, veteran of II seasons in
the American League, despite his 81
years Of age, attained general recogni-
ton in 1888 as the best relief pitcher
in base ball. In that year he won II
games and lost for the Nationals as
they swept to their third pennant.
That was the only winning season
Russell ever pitched In the American
League, although most of his career
was spent with Boston when the Red
Sox were chronic tail-enders. He
broke into the league with the Red
Sox in 1925. coming from the East
Texas League.
Cascarella, christened Joseph Thom-
as and born % years ago. was known,
in 1884, as a pretty fair pitcher and
the owner of the best tenor voice in
base ball. Since 1884 he has been
pointed out only as swell crooner,
but Griffith is willing to gamble on
Cascarella's ability to go back to his
pitching form of two seasons ago if
given starting assignments.

THUS did this bold 22-year-old sum
UP a performance that stamped
him as the greatest prospect America
has ever had for an Olympic 5000
meters victory and refuted the experts
who think distance racing is lost
art in the United States.
Lash led from start to finish. He
ran with clocklike precision, reminis-
cent of Nurmi in the latter's palmiest,
watch-carrying days. He passed the
half-mile mark in 200, the mile post
in 4:269, and swept past the mile and
q half mark in 6:477. BY this time,
the pace already had run his four
rivals into the ground, including
Bright, who entered the race favor
tte. The Coast star hung on to
second place, but he had none Of his
famous finishing "kick" and was a
good $50 yards back when Lash
finished.
The veteran Joe McCluskey of the
New York A. c., Ray Sears, former
Butler University star, who holds the
American citizens indoor mark of
9:o7.6, and Frank Crowley. formerly
Of Manhattan College, struggled home
In that order.
Venzke's first outdoor triumph over
Cunningham followed the pattern of
Genes indoor victories last Winter.

on the last lap, with Cunningham in
