WASHINGTON, Aug. S. Up -
The red-hot Washington Senators

SWEDISH RUNNERS
IN LONDON RACE

LONDON, Aug. 5-(REHopes of
seeing the four minute Dream
Mile" become reality will draw
about 10000 holiday fans to Lon
don's White City stadium tomor-
row to see a pair of former record
holders, Swedens Arne Anderson
and Britain's Sidney Wooderson,
match strides over the classic dis
lance.
The current mile standard hold
er, Gunder Haegg of Sweden, will
strive to lower his own two-mile
mark of 8:42.8 in another inter-
national race against England's
Douglas Wilson.
The long striding Haegg, who
possesses almost every record for
the standard distances ranging
from 1880 meters to 5000 meters
and from the mile to three miles,
clipped tWo-tenths of second off
Andersson's former record in rae
ing the mile in 4:01.4 three weeks
ago.
When Anderson and Haegg ar
rived by plane in England Saturday
in the midst of a heat wave, they
quickly commented that the wealth
err was "too hot" for record run
ming and said they would rest as
much as possible. But today the
weather forceasters predicted cool
er weather for Monday and the
track was in good condition.
The spindly legged Wooderson,
whose 4:06.4 in 1887 stood as
universal record for five years I'M
til Haegg smashed it, only recently
has been able to make a serious
attempt to get back in shape. He
ran Ala mile last week despite
a slowing wind, bad track and lack
of competition in the British Army
championships. Most of the British
sportswriters doubted that the be-
specialized little Britisher could
beat the Swedish schoolmaster but
they predicted that Wooderson
would force Anderson to go all
out.
If Haegg cracks the two mile
standard the chances are that he'll
have to make his own race. Will
son, who will try to pace the gaunt
Gunder, ran an 880-yard race at
Glasgow, Scotland, yesterday after
making a 10 hour train trip. He'll
have to make the same homeward
journey over the holiday-jammed
railroads.
The mile and two mile runs are
special events of a four
track meet among British Army,
Raj, U. S. Army and British A. A.
U. teams.

The General ruled out as i'm
practical the suggestion that the
World Series winner might come
over here, pointing out that the
weather at that time of year is
too unfavorable in Europe.
1t will take until next May before
the American forces here are re-
duced to the Army of occupation
size of AL, 900, which means an
extensive athletic program must be
carried through the fall and winter
periods. The General says he ex-
poets 100000 soldiers to learn to
ski at Zugapitz, Germany, which
| he rates as the greatest winter
resort country in the world. 1t is
also planned to bring an all-star
pro football team over here in jan
uary and an extensive football pro-
gram is being planned for this fall.
1t. Col. Frank Mccormick, Min
nesota athletic director who is as
sisting the General in an advisory
capacity, scoffed at the suggestion
that pros might be too tough for
service teams, pointing out the
teams in this theater could hold
their own in any company. Com.
ing from a man from Minnesota
where 240-pound tackles are tossed
back into the pond as too small
and fragile, that's quite compli
ment.
The General declined to touch
on the subject of the possibility
of the Germans copying our sports
ideas, as that phase is out of his
jurisdiction.
1T is my personal opinion, how.
ever" he said, that if we want
to re educate the Germans we
should teach them to play base
ball. That will teach them demo-
cracy instead of how to click their
heels.'
