IN DRAKE CANES
BY FRANK NYE, Jr.

DIES MONIES, Ia, April 30
U.N.S0 one American and
four new Drake relays marks al
ready broken, track and field
athletes from 10 States today
gathered their forces for a Sec
ond assault on the record book.
Given the ideal weather condi-
lions which prevailed on opening
day Of the meet, the contestants
were expected to better three
more records today. Greatest dan
ger was to the existing mark Of
14.4 in the 120-yard high hurdles,
equalled in the preliminaries by
Flying Fred Wolcott Of Rice
Institute.
Wisconsin's four-mile relay
quartet, anchored by Charles
Fenske, who turned in a 4:10.5
mile in the distance medley race,
was considered a grave threat to
Indiana'S mark of 17:40.2, set two
years ago.
Also figured to fall was Ray FL
linwood'S 440-yard dash time OF
4s.5 set in 1886. A brilliant field
including five speedSterS who have
done better in competition awaited
the gun. They were headed by
Wilbur Miller Of Compton, Cal.
Appearance of Archie San Ro-
mani, who licked Glenn Cunning
ham in the Kansas relays, in a
special 1,000-yard event was to add
color to the days program. 1t was
feared, however, that duel be-
tween, San Romani and Fenske
may not materialize, as hoped.
Fenske is entered but may be
scratched to save him for team
events.

EAST'N, WEST'N|
TIED FOR Lead

An inter:high baseball cham
pionship race that has narrowed
down to two contesting teams,
presents itself today, following
victories turned in by the pace
settlers.
Eastern, defending champion,
although outhit, defeated Wood
row Wilson, 9-5, while Western,
also outhit, trounced Anacostia,
10-8.
Eastern and Western, therefore,
are tied today with two victories
in their two starts in the title
play.
Herman Dyer, who pitched for
Wilson against the highly favored
Eastern nine, allowed 10 walks,
and therein probably lies the de.
feat, as no less than five runs
were scored by the Lincoln Park
team on hits after Dyer had is
sued free tickets to the initial
sack.

Optimistically predicting he would

turn on the mound, Dizzy Dean,
the new Chicago Cub pitcher,
today told in his own words how
he hurt his $250,000 right arm in
the fourth inning of the Cub Gin
game yesterday.
Lew Riggs was the first bat
ter in the fourth Dizzy SAID.
my first pitch was a fast ball
from a three-quarter overland
position. I guess I didn't throw
it naturally for I felt my arm
snap right here. CHe pointed to
the outside of his right arm,
about five inches below the
Shoulder.)
II walked Riggs. Then Cooke
flied out. I threw two darn good
fast balls to Ernie lombard be-
fore I got him out. That's why
I think my arm is all right.
My arm was never hurt in
that spot before. Last year, it
was my shoulder that was hurt.
Maybe this kink got was Just

If that's it, this will be good

PHILADELPHIA, April 80 e..
N.S0. - Pittsburgh University,
equalling the carnival record of

mile college relay championship

Pitt runners swept to victory be-
fore about 5000 early arrivals. A
40 900 crowd was expected later in
the day.
Woodruff, Of Pitt, and Hicks,
of Indiana, were touched off on
even terms for the anchor leg.
They fought on even terms around
the turn but when they hit the
Straightaway those amazingly
long legs of Woodruff carried him
ahead to two-yard victory, with
Dalton, the Navy captain, only
inches behind in third place but
far ahead of Lewis, of Ohio State.

for the title by being disqualified
in the preliminary heat for faulty
passing of the baton.

the hammer throw with a heave
of 1853 feet 73s inches. This was
six feet short of the relay record
but seven feet better than the
distance attained by Mike PappaS,
of Columbia, who was second,
and Is feet better than Nal Fin
layson, of Yale, who was third.
Five men went over % feet in
the broad jump, but Bill Watson,
of Michigan, won the event with a
leap just a half inch short of Is
feet, which was more than a foot
ahead of Charles Walker, of Ohio
State, who took second place by
a fraction of an inch from Frank
