STURDY M|L[ROSE
REMUNERATION
Porter, Ward, Steiner Are
Named to Defend Team
Crown in Stars Big Race.
BY ROD THOMAS.
Milrose Athletic Club Of New
York, shepherded by Mel Shep-
pard, the old Olympic middle

York, shepherded by Mel Shep-
pard, the old Olympic middle
a distance star. is hard bent upon
holding its title as team marathon
champion of the country.
In today's mail came the entry OF
Millrose for the sixth annual Evening
Star race for the national A. A. U.
championship, the first three Yankees
to finish to represent the United States
in the American Olympic mara
thon at Dallas, Tex, July 18.
Millrose won its title last year in
The Star race over the toughest mara
thon course in the country, extending
from Mount Vernon to the White
House, with its 26 miles 385 yards, in
cluding turn around Hains Point and
stretches through downtown Wash
ington.
Sending Sturdy Trio.
HE Mllrose standard bearers this
time will be Mel Porter, who time
and again has come close to winning
the national crown Fred Ward, the
most ungainly and the most deceptive
marathon runner In the country, and
Bill Steiner, owning many distance
running decorations including the last
Palestine Olympics marathon wreath
Porter, Ward and Steiner will find
lot Of stiff competition for the team
championship, but Sheppard is willing
to wager. that one of them will be
among the three to tote Uncle Sans
colors in the pan-American race
against runners from 81 other pan
American countries.
A hullaballoo was raised bv Porter
fans when the popular young man was
not selected on the last American
Olympic team. But, among the lead
ers in nearly all the races in which
he competed, Porter was unable to beat
out Tarzan Brown, who won the 1896
Boston marathon, and automatically
qualified, or Bill Mcmahon, who fin
ished first, and Johnny Kelley. who
ran second last year in The Star race,
the final Olympic tryout.
kauppinen Big Threat.
pORTER, Steiner and Ward will be
among the favorites when one
of the classiest marathon fields ever
| assembled in this country lines up next
Saturday at pm. at the gates of
Mount Vernon
The Millrose runners, eager to make
| the Yankee team to run at Dallas, are
apprehensive of Hugo Kauppinen of
the same sector. The entry of Kaup-
pinen, transplanted Finn, also was
received today. Kauppinen has won
trophy in every Evening Star race.
The American citizenship OF men
OF foreign birth will be checked by
Earle Weeks, president of the District
Chapter of the A. A. u, for only Yanks
will be selected for the pan-American
run, although any runner in the world
is eligible to compete for the national
championship.

Won Cramm in Trim.

HENKEL was superlative on the
Riviera this year, has increased
his hitting power and gained contro
of his forehand. once his weakes
link.
But Won Cramm has shown only
flashes of his true form-brief flashes
they tell me, with emphasis.
I hear he is overhitting once more
rsking too much and sacrificing safety
to daring tries.
But my guess is Won Cramm has
not been taking his Winter tennis
seriously
He has been playing top tennis for
years and probably was stale. I feel
he took this method to relax.
To me he's too great a player-and
TOO nhlllgent-to fall into any rut
like permanent overhitting, and now
the big matches are at hand, a re-
freshed and ready Won Cramm will
be seen.
This rumor spread like wildflre
when, in a last-minute move, Won
Cramm withdrew from the French
championships, in which he had been
faVor1te. Despite the rumor and the
withdrawal he remains the Wimble
don favorite. His only contender, they
say here, will be Bulge, and only a
very few pick Don.
I hope I make clear the sensation
Won Cramm's spotty play has caused
because I want to emphasize that
even with this knowledge, they Sc
lect him to win. That gives you an
idea of the value Europe places on
his play.

1t will be the Middle Atlantic

Bobby Brownell, Levi Yoder, Russ

next week, seeking a crack at Spencer
Overton. the bespectacled and steady
golflng guy from Baltimore, who holds
the State title. The local entrants
seem 10 be stronger than the oppo-
sition from Baltimore, but there's no
telling, particularly when spectacu-
lar newcomer like Walter Greiner OF
Baltimore will be in the invading
group.
Harry Pitt declares Greiner, who
reached the semi-final round Of the
national public links championship
last year, is hot stuff, and further
predicts that the 20-year- old Greiner
lad will be strictly the boy to lick at
Manor next week.
But then guys like Brownell, Helle-
baugh, Yoder. Burnett and Harry
Pitt himself, are not exactly push
overs in any links company.
