BALTIMORE: March 5.-Hatchet-
faced Glenn Cunningham, sensation
Of the track world, whirled around the
fiat Fifth Regiment Armory boards
here tonight and satisfied 5000 fans
his much-publicized prowess at picking
'em up and putting 'em down over a
mile route is no myth.
The robot like Cunningham, featur-
ing the University of Maryland-Fifth
Regiment meet, paced himself nicely
after trailing for six of the eight laps
to trim Archie San Romani, his New
York Curb Exchange teammate by 10
yards in minutes Is seconds. the
fastest ever registered on an unbanked
track without spikes.
Not until the start Of the seventh
lap did Cunningham make his bid
after remaining one step behind Gene
VenZke for six trips around the white
oval. When he launched his famed
stretch drive there was no doubt he
would win as he pleased.
Venzke, former Pennsylvania middle
distance ace, now competing for the
New York A. c.. set the pace until the
seventh lap, but wilted in the final
220 yards and Maryland's Mason
Chronister edged him out for the show
position.
Best Mile Ever by Terp.
Chronister's 4:169 performance. the
best ever run by an Old Liner, indoor
or outdoor, also fractured the 4:l9.8
meet record made by Joe McCluskey
of the New York A. c. last year.
The amazing Cunningham. a 28-
year-old Kansan, who has accounted
for eight of the 18 occasions the mile
has been run under minutes 10 Sec
onds, bettered his own fiat track rec
ord of 4:152 made at New York earlier
this year and completely shattered the
recognized record established by Abel
Kiviat % years ago at 4:l8.2.
Barrel-chested Glenn received an
ovation that endured until he twice
logged around the track following his
victory.

Beating Seabiscuit BY Nose

derstand why fate was so against his
pet. I'VE just don't seem to have
any luck around this track, it's high
time that our horse starts getting the
breaks I really think the race was
truly run and truly won, but what
chance have we got when we give
away from 7 to 20 pounds. Give us
real break some day and We'll show
you a real horse"
The handicap, climaxing the biggest
day in Santa Anita history. found
many a well thought Of rambler fall
ing his hackers and many tale will
long remain about the event.
All this, too, coming on the heels OF
the most disastrous food in Southern
California's history. Close by. could be
seen the results Of food waters, but
that didn't seem to halt the fans, for
they started arriving early and still
were coming in when the handicap
field left the post.
PompOon Surprises.
Pompoon, Jerry Louchheim's ace,
surprised many. for he was coming at
the end and though beaten of six
lengths, was by far the best of the
others. The majority had figured he
was not q mile and one-quarter horse,
but he was coming at the end of the
journey and against any one but Stage
hand and Seabiscuit he probably would
have been winner at that distance
Sceneshifter. Stagehand's full BROTH
er and the one originally expected to
carry the mail for Maxwell Howard,
failed dismally, running far back.
The same went for the South Ameri-
can hope Of Bing Crosby and Linn
Howard, Ligaroti. Bert Baroni's Top
Row. winner of the 1886 renewal,
/ finished poor fifteenth, beating three
horses, and then pulled up lame.
At first it was thought he had bro
ken down after the finish. for the
track dray was called on to cart him
off the track. but later 1t was found
he was suffering only from a sore leg,
and the dray had been called on to
save needless walking around.

despite the fact that Seabiscuit was

day at Tech High gym before 1000

ing, despite the rather lopsided scores.

tripling the score on a valiant but out

while st. Johns spanked its only scho-

Eastern and the Johnnies reached
their finest form Of the year in the
semi-final engagements, thus paving
the way for the most eagerly antici-
pated game of the year tomorrow night
at Tech when the clubs clash for the
big crown.
Eastern Out to Get Even.
Eastern, which was spilled by the
Cadets month ago. 23-18, at Catholic
University, is eager to avenge that
loss in Techs more spacious quarters
and the manner in which the Lincoln
Parkers clicked against the Little
Generals augurs we'll for a thrill-sat-
urated scrap.
1t was Lee Lusby, little Eastern
guard, who largely was responsible for
the Lincoln Parkers amazing volume
in the point-gathering department, for
the handsome, wavy-haired all-high
representative repeatedly throttled
Washington-Lee's offensive gestures
with bits of defensive genius.
The aggressive Fasteners, who have
unleashed more brilliant basket ball
in their last three games than they
have manufactured over the remain

Little Generals under an avalanche of
baskets, at the same time unraveling
gluey guarding that left the Virgin

Gets Women's Title.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 5-Don Nc
Neill, 19-year-old junior at Kenyon
College in Gambler. Ohio. today
flashed all of the brilliant form that
makes him one Of the Nations most
promising young tennis players as he
defeated Frank Bowden of New York,
81, 3-6. 6-4, IS, to win the mems
national indoor tennis championship.
Elevated from the junior ranks to
the first 10 last season, McNeill gave
the strongest sort of proof of his all
around ability by his decisive victory
over man who had far greater ex-
perience on board courts.
McNeill's Backhand Tells.
Bowden. beaten in a five-set final
last year by frankie Parker, fought
stubbornly, but there never was any
doubt as to who would win. McNeill
rarely was troubled by Bowden's hard,
twisting service, was steady as rock
from the back court and, when he
went to the net, passed the New Yorker
frequently with smartly-angled back
hands.
His backhand, in fact. was the out
standing feature of the match. It was
backhand passing shot that gave
him a 5-4 lead in the final set, and a
blistering backhand volley that put
him within a point Of the match on
BoWden's service
Woman Star Upset.
The women's singles title went to
Virginia Hollinger, 21-year-old red
head from Dayton, Ohio. who is q
defensive player pure and simple.
Miss Hollinger, comparative upstart,
stuck to the base-line policy that had
carried her into the final as she
whipped Katharine Winthrop Of
Boston, No. on the seeded list and
No. 10 nationally, 6-1, 26, e3.

uphill battle, defeating Mrs. Jane
Cothran Jameson of West Palm Beach

dead to the pin to win the hole with
a par 4. Mrs. Jameson was short
with her second and Clipped weakly
for q 5.
Makes Stirring Putt.
Under pressure on the 18th, Miss
Hemphill saw her opponent chip dead
to the pin for par 1. She sank q

the match.
On the extra hole, both golfers were
on the edge Of the green with their
second shots; but Mrs. Jameson s.
putted, losing the match.
It was the 14th time the two had
met in match play in Southern tourna-
ments. Miss Hemphills victory to-

For the regulation 18 holes, the
winner had a medal Of 39-38-77.
