were reminding 1t.
The reason for the early hour, if it
seems unreasonable to you, is that
pictures are made with light as well
as actors. The early morning provides
the best quality of the former. Actors
and actresses have to accommodate
themselves to that cruel trick of ma

x guns finally warmed up to-
/ day, but it took them 10 in
nings before Tony Lazzeri and
George Selkirk bombarded the Red
Sox into 6-to-5 defeat.
Scoring the first victory in two
starts in defense of their American
League and world championships the
Yanks made only nine hits off Lefty
Grove and two other Boston hurlers,
compared to the IL for the Sox from
Monte Pearson and Johnny Murphy.
But one of the hits was the first
homer for murderers' row this season,
a roundtrip clout by Tony Lazzeri
in the eighth, and another was a
game winning two-run triple by Twin
kletoes George Selkirk in the tenth.
The Sox came back strong in their
half of the extra frame, but with the
bases loaded and only one out after
Pinky Higgins double and pair Of
walks, the best they could do was to
bring one run across.
Fritz Ostermueller, third of the
Sox pitchers, was charged with the
defeat. Murphy, relieving Pearson in
the eighth, was credited with the win.

~ HILADELPHIA, April a.
l. Indiana University's monopoly
of major events in the forty
L third Pennsylvania relay car
nival was brought to a smashing cli-
max today when Donald Ray Lash, the
Hoosier Iron man." sprinted to tri-
umph in the featured l-mile invita-
ton race after anchoring a world
record victory for his team in the
classic 4-mile college relay champion
ship.
Lash, looking back over his shoulder
with triumphant grin, OUTRAGED and
outsmarted Italy's Luigi Beccali, the
favorite, as we'll as the veteran Gene
Venzke of the New York Athletic Club
in the crowning event OF the two-day
program. Durable Don, cheered by
crowd Of 10000 at Franklin Field as he
broke the tape yards in front Of
Beccali, nearly was mobbed by hun
dreds OF track and field enthusiasts
after putting the finishing touches to
magnificent toot-racing job.
Lash exploded last 44o yards in
58.3 seconds to capture the mile, but
his time for the full route, 424.3, was
far from sensational and paled by COM
parison with the beating that he and
his teammates administered two hours
earlier to Pop Time, and nve rival
teams, in the 4-mile relay.
Battle With Stop Watch.
THE distance classic, strictly duel
between the Hoosiers and the stop
watch from start to finish, ended with
Indiana setting up new world mark
OF II minutes 161 seconds and wiping
out marks that have stood to the
credit Of Americas greatest milers. It
clipped more than S seconds of the
officially listed record Of 17:2l.4, which
the famous Joie Ray helped the Hi
nois A. c. team esta blish in 1928. Like
wise, it eclipsed the pending world mark
of 17:l72, which the all-star United
States quartet of Chuck Hornbostel
Gene VenZke, Archie San Romani and
Glenn Cunningham set at London
last August Is in the post-Olympic
UUdl llStl Will IlIiPilS dtAi-
letes.
Lash clinched the record with a
417.2 mile for the anchor leg, but
the runner who made the new mark
possible was his lanky Negro team
mate, Jimmy Smith, who electrified
the big crowd by reeling OF the Sec
ond mile in 414. This was the fast
est performance in Smiths career.
Mel Truitt, the lead-of1 man, and
Tommy Deckard, third runner, were
timed in 1922 and 4227 for their
share in the record-smashing pro-
ceedings.
Cornell Is Dismal Second.
THE Hoosiers finished fully 300
yards ahead of their nearest RI
walls, Cornell, and Tapped the last Of
