YANKS H0LDPACE
Of 81 BUT TRAIL
Astonishing Cincinnati, in
Ruck Last Year, Swaps
Places With Cards.
BY SID FEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

Step right up to baseball's side
show, boys and girls, and get q load
OF as queer a pair of pennant races
as the big-time has seen in years.
In the American League, you have
the world champion Yankees playing
virtually the same brand of ball as
at this time last year. Then they
were IL games over the 500 mark
now they're IL. Yet last June l8
Murderer's Row was two and a half
games in front of the Tigers, with
Clevelands Indians five games back.
And today. Gehrig g. Co. is in second
place. a game behind the Tribe, while
the Tigers are in fifth place.
Then shift your glance over to the
National League. and you get another
freak that would warm the heart Of
q Barnum. At this time in 1887, the
Cubs were in front of the Giants by
one game, with the Cardinals close up
in third place and the Cincinnati
Reds hopelessly begged down in the
cellar from which they never emerged.
Reds and Tribe Responsible.
Right now, however. the Giants are
showing the way to Cholly Grimms
gallopers by three full games, the as
tonlshing Reds are breathing hot on
! the necks of both. and frankie Friscf1's
gas-less Gas House Gang is doing its
darnedest to stay out of cellar ter
| ritory.
The chief reasons for the upheavals
are the Indians and the Reds. Both
have been absorbing a philosophy Of
fight under new managers.
The Tribe, after temporary tall
spin last week, has won three straight,
the latest an 81 whipping handed the
Athletics yesterday as Johnny Allen
chalked up his eighth win of the year
with a f1ve-hit performance. Since
the Yanks' game with the Browns was
rained out, this boosted the Indians
American League lead by half a game.
Over in the National League every-
thing happened at once. The Giants
snapped out of their batting doldrums,
fired 16-hit attack. including three
homers. and trampled the Cards 1913
behind Slick Castleman's steady fling
ing.
Giants Lead Grows.
Since the Cubs were Inundated
rudely by Boston's Bees in both ends
OF double header. this added a game
and half to the Giants league lead.
Jim Turner pitched a fve-hitter to
top Bill Lee, 10. on Ray Mueller's
homer in the opener. and Johnny Lam
ming and Ira Hutchinson combined IN
another five-hitter for q So decision
in the nightcap.
The Reds, meantime, walloped the
Brooklyn Dodgers twice, and pulled up
to one game back Of the Cubs.
Really. it's only a game and a half,
since they are still charged with q de-
feat to st. Louis, which is to be re-
played) Jim Weaver's four-hit pitch
ing and homers by Ernie Lombardi
and Ival Goodman produced the Reds
4-3 opener win. while an 18-hit bonn
bardment clicked for a 1910 edge in
the afterpiece.
The Pirates went 10 innings to over.
come the Phillies, 4-3, as Mace Brown
chalked up his ninth win, in a relief
role, as usual.
Jackie wilson's eight-hit elbowinp
gave the Boston Red Sox a 5-1 victory
over the whiting White Sox at Chicago.

PROMISE RECORDS
Cunningham Up Against Hot
Fields in Two Features
on Fast Track.
BY BILL BONI.
Associated Press Sports Writer

PRINCETON. N. j.. June 18-The
Princeton invitation track meet, which
grew from fund-raising inspiration
into one Of the sports greatest natu-
rails. was staged for the fourth sue
cessive year today on the fast Palmer
Stadium path.
Again it presented an all-star cast
in a one-hour program of six events
likely to produce world records and a
cinch to produce some of the years
keenest competition Billed in the
principal role was Glenn Cunningham,
due to seek his second victory in the
classic mile at 4:3O pm (E S. T) and
to try for double in the a4-mile run
IS minutes later.
Mile in 4:03 Predicted.
The first Princeton invitation, in
1884, was the outgrowth Of a recession.
Princeton lacked the funds to send its
track team abroad for the Princeton
Cornell VS.. Oxford-Cambridge meet.
Since the inaugural, in which Cum
ningham brought the mile record
down to 4:06.7. was so successful, the
meet was made an annual event.
Today's running was in good hands.
Cunningham drew Archie San Ro-
mani. who has predicted a world rec
ord of 4:03 for the mile, as his chief
rival in both races. Josef Mostert, Bel
gian holder of the 34-mile record of
3:00.4; Peter Bradley of Princeton and
Blaine Rideout, Gene Venzke. Leslie
MacMitchell and Ralph Schwartz
kopf were the other 34-mile starters.
Archie Williams Back.
. Archie Williams, out for a year with
an injury after winning the Olympic
400-meter title, returned to competi-
ton in the 440-yard run against Har-
old eagle, 1896 Olympic relay runner,
and three others. Manhattan's Howie
Borck, I. c. "A. mile champion and
recordholder, appeared the best of six
starters in the $50, and in the 2-mile
the chief threats were Don Lash, 1. C.
"A. Champion Joe Moclair Of Man.

WORLD STAR SEEN
IN 'RO0K' HURDLER
WoIcott, Mark-Maker, Tops
Great Field in N. c. A. A,
Tourney Trials.
BY EARL HILLIGAN,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 18.-The Ma
tions outstanding collegiate track
athlete "of today and probably OF to-
morrow"-that's Lawson Robertson's
opinion of Fred Wolcott, the blond
hurdling streak from Rice Institute of
Texas.
Robertson, coach of four Olympic
teams. has seen many great college
track and field stars But he empha-
sized today his opinion that Wolcott,
whose record-smashing l4-second per-
formance in the 120-yard high hurdles
highlighted yesterdays trials of the
18th national collegiate track and
field meet. may some day develop into
one Of the greatest hurdlers of all
time.
Olympic Outlook CLOVIS.
"Wolcott yesterday. in his 14-second
performance. ran as fast as he could" +"
Robertson said, but it must be re-
membered he is only sophomore.
think that right now he is ahead of
Forrest Towns when Towns was q
sophomore. His form now isn't any,
thing wonderful, but it will improve. !"
Robertson, paying high tribute to
the strong field in which some 80
schools were represented in yesterdays
eliminations, believes the United
States Olympic track and field team
of 1910 will "be as good as that of
1886"
He singled out such stars as Harvey
Woodstra of Michigan State, Ray Ma
lott of Stanford and Earl Vickery of
Southern California as comparatively
unknown youths who show great
promise"
WOlc0tt Easy Victor.
Wolcott's performance in the trials
sent him into today's finals a standout
favorite in the high hurdle event,
with many observers giving him q
chance to get under the l4-second
mark. His time yesterday-and he
finished yards ahead Of the second
man in his heat-was q new meet
mark and equal to the American rec
ord set by Bob Osgood of Michigan.
Towns holds the accepted world mark
of 1877.
Southern California, qualifying ~
men yesterday was a heavy favorite
to win its fourth straight national COL
legiate team title. The powerful
Trojans, who recently captured the
I. c. "A championship, placed men
in seven OF the 10 trial tests.
Johnny Woodruff, Pittsburgh's great
Negro star, and Charles Fenske, long
striding Wisconsin ace, were expected
to hook up in a great 88O-yard run
duel.
Another feature was the anticipated
mile-run battle between Fenske, John
Munski Of Missouri and Louis Zam-
perini Of Southern California.

George Case until recently regarded
as distinct drawback from a fielding

catches of the second game. He leaped
high against the right field screen to
snatch Charley Gehringer's lengthy
drive in the sixth inning and in the
seventh he streaked to the right field
boxes to pluck Roxie Lawson's liner.
Briggs Stadium, in case you care, is
the best. Clean and comfortable, the

The ushers are uniformed and neat,
dressing rooms are large and spotless
and two electrically operated score
boards function flawlessly.

Earl Averill and Brooklyn's Cookie
Lavagetto set the pace in the major
league hitting races today. but the
most surprising development was that
neither of the defending pennant-
holders had man among the leaders.
From Averill down to Boston's Joe
Cronin in tenth place In the American
League, you couldn't find a member
OF the New York Yankee cast with
microscope. And the same thing held
true of the Giants in the National
Leagues leading set.
Chapman Of AS Climbs.
While Averill, boosting his average
l6 points to 1856, retained the lead
against the challenge Of his teammate.
Hal Trosky. both Bill Dickey and Red
Rolfe of the Yanks, who were among
the top 10 week ago, slipped out of
the select group.
In the National League, Lavagetto's
1853 was just enough to hold the pace
from the comebacking Ducky Med
wick and his .349. while 10 10 Moore,
the Giants member of the leading
group last week, sank from sight.
Chief of the newcomers among the
leaders this week was Swingin' Sammy
Chapman, the Athletics rookie out
fielder, fresh from college, who was
deadlocked for the American League
second place with Trosky, each with
1865.
CAIRNS, Martin Star.
