Easy Race for Cunningham.

THE 1.500-meter race, like the de-
cathlon an official Olympic pre-
liminary trial, left Glenn Cunning
ham, holder of the world mile record,
with victory and track fans still
wondering if he was the Kansas flash
of old. He won in 3:571. outstepping
the field in the last 100 yards, and
finishing apparently fresh.
Archie San Romani, who holds the
naticnal intercollegiate mile title did
not compete in the Olympic mile. but
anchored the Emporia, Kans., Teach
ers' relay team which stepped the
university distance medley in 10:12.7
for a new world and American record
The old mark of 1914 was set in 1888
by Manhattan College. San Romani
was unoficially clicked in fraction
of a second over 4;l2 for the mile he
ran.

Cards Topple Pirates.

THE st. Louis Cards defeated the
Pirates, 7-3. as a pair of favor
ties made dismal showings. Arky
Vaughan, last years league batting
champion, failed to get hit in four
trips to the plate, letting the crowd
down when he rolled out a weak
grounder with two men on base and
two out. Bud Hafey, whose hitting
brings memories of his famous Uncle
Chick. allowed three Cardinal runs
when he dropped one fly and mis-
Judged another in the second inning.

THE Athletics made a surprising
stand against the Red Sox even
though they did go down, 81, for their
fifth straight defeat. 1t was a pitch
ing duel in which Terrell. backed by
errorless ball, emerged victor over
Dusty Rhodes, a former Red Sox
twirler. Each pitcher allowed i've

The Indians continued their Slaugh-

Louis Brown to their fifth straight
defeat, 1876. The Browns got IL hits
off Mel Harder, who went the route
for Cleveland, but they couldn't match
the stream of runs the Indians sent
across the plate.
Hal Schumacher, who was yanked
in the opening game against the
Dodgers, found the victory trail against
the Boston Bees as the Giants notched
their fifth straight win, Al. He held
the Bees to four hits, two of which
came in the last frame.

BY ANDY CLARKE,

THE Cleveland Indians and the
Boston Red Sox are showing
a total disregard for the pre-
L diction Of experts that Detroit
is destined to repeat its triumphant
march of last year.
Six days along the way, each with
four games won and one lost, these
teams are providing definite grounds
for the contention that rocky road
beckonS the mighty men of Cochrane.
The Red Sox haven't had to use a
relief hurler yet and Bob Grove and
Yves Terrell have started of in man
ner to make rival managers wrinkle
their brows. The Indians haven't
needed good pitching thus far, for
the batsmen have settled issues on
pure offensive power.
The speedy progress Of these two
teams in the American League and
the Giants in the National yesterday
awoke the respective champions to
their responsibilities.

and don't think it's only memories OF
what Cronin used to do that's making
me say this. When the chips are on
the table and great fielding play or
hit is needed, Cronin can supply it.
There's a lot of talk that Cronin
has lost his confidence. That's the
bunk. What if he does dig his knee
into the dirt now and then when he
goes after a grounder? He throws the
man out 80 times out of 100.

was overrated. I don't know anything

 The first bach of mail came from Bridgeport by truck. Mail carriers were waiting around for their mail and as soon as 1t was sorted, they started on their routes. Calls were pouring into the postoffice from business firms, asking why mail had not been delivered. It was explained that circumstances entirely out Of control of the local department was the reason.
 Passengers coming from New York were taken from Ansonia to Seymour by bus and then the rest of their journey by train.

 Many U. s. Rubber plant workers who lost a days pay yesterday when most of the plant was closed be- cause of trouble in the boiler room, caused by floods will get the oppor- tunity to make up the lost day to- morrow.
