Mulloy started as though he
were going to run Schroeder right
off the court. The Coral Gables

service three times in taking the
first set.
But Schroeder'S service sudden

shots began finding their marks
on the sidelines.
Two times in the second set,
Mulloy held 40-15 advantages but
failed to capitalize. In the first
game, he was ahead by that count,
only to have Schroeder break his
service. The same thing hap

Fastest $50 Of Year

LONDON, Aug. 12.-Olympic
Champion Nal Whitfield fell short
of the world record he set out to
break, but still ran the fastest
half mile of 1850 before 10000
spectators. today.
The 25-year-old king of middle
distance men, sped $50 yards in
1850, just eight tenths of sec
ond short of the world mark. The
time of the Ohio State graduate
is the best ever recorded on the
springy cinders of White City
Stadium.
The race was the highlight OF
three-way international track
meet in which runners from the
United States, Great Britain and
team from the Benelux countries
participated. Great Britain won
the meet by two points over the
United States, 76 to IA. The Bene-
lux team scored 40 points.
Two things led to the United
States defeat: Lack Of an entry
in the broad jump and Britain's
ability to finish at least second in
