High of New Haven, with its SenSa- tional Negro four or five sports star, Levi Jackson, has a big corner on the athletic talent of the state in high school ranks; was the ease with which Hillhouse ran away with the state GAG track and field meet Saturday. Having already convinced everyone that it's football and bas- ketball teams were best by test, the track and fielders from the New Haven school scored 61 points, talk ing of 12 events while the nearest was Stamford with IT points; ahead of the best Crosby track and field squad of years standing. .. Quite a few Waterburians sat through the rain at Yankee Stadium yesterday, as part of a 35,000 crowd that came to see the 1-3 teams of the Ameri- can league battle it out in double header, the St. Louis Browns show ing it's one-armed outfielder Pete Gray of Nanticoke, Pa, for the first time in NY. Though the defending champs blew both ends of the DH, despite an 8-2 sixth inning lead over the Yankees in the first game, which went IA innings; Gray made a real good impression as he nearly won the marathon ball game in the l1th inning with a line drive into deep right field, taken on the dead run by Bud Metheney, the gent who was to become the hero in the l4th inning, with a single that pulled the game out of the fire for Joe Mo 1 Carthy'S men. . Gray flied out to center the first time up; after that was walked, and lastly made a great bid to win the game for the Browns; with the run on DaSe that would have done it if Gray's hit got away from the Yank rightfielder, running fast over slippery grass. Gray bob bled two hits to left field, after they hit the ground; but George Stirn- weiss, with two good arms had three infield errors.
