Navy -Four Eliminated
In Olympic Rowing;
Kelly Loses in Scu||s
BY the Associated Press

HELSINKI, July 22.-American
rowing representatives were hav-
ing hard time of it today at the
Olympic Games and were ousted
in three events while qualifying in
one.
The United States Navy four
cared crew without coxswain was
IA badly beaten third in it's "sec-
ond-chance" elimination heat
which was won by Finland in
6:48.5. Italy was a close second in
I6:49.2. The American four was
timed in 6:578.
Earlier, Sculler Jack Kelly, jr.,

Los Angeles, with Jim Beggs, for
mer Stanford coach at the rudder

beating an Australian pair in an
other repechage heat.
Navy Crew Handicapped.
The Navy's four-oared crew
roWed with their No. 3 man, John
Davis of Selma, Ala, ailing with
an infected throat. 1t was at
first thought that the crew might
be forced to withdraw, but Davis,
midshipman at the Naval Acad-
emy, insisted on competing.
Ensign Kelly, a Philadelphian,
was eliminated in a photo finish
in the semifinals after a thrilling
duel with Kocerka.

Tending champion. moved into the
finals with a two-length victory
in his second chance" heat, beat
ing Paul Meyer of Switzerland
Woods time over the placid 1000

45.5 seconds.
But it was the duel between
Kelly and Kocerka that had the
crowd on edge.
Officials first announced that
Kocerka was the winner, then
quickly Cancelled the decision and
said it was a photo finish. They
wanted to look at the picture be-
fore making a decision.
Long Study of Photo.
After studying the photo for a
half hour, Kocerka was awarded
the race. Kelly was beaten by
only a matter of a few inches.
Kocerka was timed in 7:41.9
while Kelly's clocking was 7:42.
Meyer was clocked in 7:48.3
followed by Hollands Robert Van
Mesdag, in 7::57.2. Next was Henri

Road Ahead Appears Tougher
For Yonks Than for Dodgers

The Dodgers start with Cincin-
natl and the Giants take on the
st. Louis Cardinals. The Dodg-
ers are riding the crest of an
eight-game winning streak, while
the injury-riddled Giants are
fumbling around after a dismal
Western trip during which they
lost valuable ground to their
Brooklyn rivals.
The impression is that if the
Giants are going to pull another
miracle finish, they'd better start
right way instead of waiting until
August II, as they did last year.
The Dodgers appear unstoppable
right now. They've been playing
at .728 clip, only few points
of the record gait established
by the Chicago Cubs of 1906.
Dodgers Not Talking.
Theoretically, the Giants are
not beaten. But just to give an
idea of how gigantic a task they
face to overhaul the Dodgers, if
Brooklyn dips" down to 900 ball
the rest of the way, the Giants
would have to win so of their
remaining 70 games to retain
their title. That's TIA ball.

Mats Open in Detroit
Tonight in Quest Of
Sixth Straight Win
BY Burton Howkins
Stor Stoff Correspondent

DETROIT, July II. - Walter
Masterson, who is credited by
Bucky Harris with contributing a
lot to the success of the Mats on
their last road trip, will get a
chance to start them off happily
tonight when they seek a sixth
straight victory at the expense Of
the Tigers.
His probable opponent is Virgil
Trucks. who has been having a
tough year with Sill record.
However, it will come as no sur
prise to Harris if Manager Fred
die Hutchinson starts Hal New
houser and employs southpaws ex-.
|clusively in the three-game series.
Hutchinson recently used four
left-handed starters against the
Mats in series at Washington,
with Bill Wight his only winner
on four-hit shutout. However,
Hutchinson is we'll aware of Wash
ington's drab 1920 record against
Ileft-handers.
Won Vital Victory.
Masterson, who will try to
match the Mats longest winning
streak of the year and present
them a ninth triumph in 10
games. gave the Mats a sorely
needed pickup here on the last
trip. The Washington club
started out by taking two beat
ings here before Walt stepped in
to win game which Harris re-
CARDS as the clubs most vital
victory Of the season.
"The club was down after those
two losses" Harris recalled, "and
Masterson prevented a complete
sag. We could have gone into a
tailSpin, but MaSterson gave us a
grand game. the club perked up
and went on to sweep three games
from Cleveland. He made the
good trip possible for U.S."
Bidding for his fifth win, Mas
terson will be shooting for his
third over the Tigers. He pre-
viously whipped them. Az and
80, although permitting 13 hits
in the latter game. -Four of those
blows were delivered by Walt
Dropo. the big first baseman who
lis batting .406 against the Mats.
Vernon on Hot Streak.
Harris Is hoping that Mickey
Vernon, a .355 hitter in his last
nine games, will continue his tor
rid pace. Mickey is a .272 batter
at the moment, but continuation
Iof his sizzling streak conceivably
could install him as league lead
er in three departments.
Vernon has slammed 20 doubles
and the league leader, Jerry Prid-
dy of the Tigers, has belted %.
Priddy is eliminated as threat
since he's out for the season with
a broken leg and the next in line
is the Yankees Hank Bauer, only
two up on Mickey. ..
Vernon has six triples, only two
back of league-leading Harry
Simpson of the Indians. Mickey
also has batted in So runs, only
eight back of the co-leaders, AL
Rosen Of the Indians and Dropo.
While the Mats have captured
nine of Is games with the Tigers.
they've had it rough here, losing
four OF six games. In each of those
defeats, burly Vic Wertz has belted
a home run, two of them coming
with two out in the ninth inning
and another in the eighth to give
Detroit the edge.

HELSINKI, July 22.-Charlie
Capozzoli of Georgetown Univer-
sity made a gallant effort to stay
with the leaders in the first heat
of the 5000 meters at the Olym-
pics today, but faded about 100
yards behind in the last three laps
as Alain Mimouin of France won
In a tight finish. Capozzoli fin
'iShed seventh and failed to qualify.
Wes Santee. Kansas runner, was
eliminated in the second heat,
which saw Herbert Schade of Ger
many set new Olympic record
by running the distance in 14:15.4.
This broke the mark of 14:17.6 set
in 1914 at London by CASTOR
Reiff of Belgium.
The third 500-meter heat saw
Emil Zatopek. Czech distance
marvel, finished third, beaten by
a Russian, Aleksandr Anoufriev,
and a Swede, Bertel Albertsson.
However, he qualified easily for
the finals Thursday.
Finn Finishes Second.
In the first heat, Mimouin was
closely followed by the Finnish
star, Ilmari Taipale. Reiff, the
defending titleholder, was third
with AXE Anderson of Sweden
fourth and Gordon Pirie of Great
Britain fifth.
Both Mimouin and Rieff seemed
to take the race casually and
merely made sure they would
qualify. The Russian, Nikifor
Popov made race of it but fin
ished sixth.
The time of 14:19 was only IA
second short of Rieff's 1948 Olym-
pic record. The crowd roared
throughout the race, mainly in
support Of Taipale, the home
country favorite.
Santee made the mistake of
trying to follow Schade in the
early stages of the second heat
and faded badly about two-thirds
OF the day home. He finished near
the end of the pack.
EaSed Up Near End.
Schade eased off noticably on
the last lap, when he was about
DO yards in the lead, and wasn't
troubled when Alan Parker of
Great Britain tried to challenge
him. Parker was second in the
excellent time of 14.18.2.
In the third heat. Zatopek, win
ner of the 0,0O0-meter champion
ship, spent most of the last
two laps turning around, checking
how many threats there were for
the five qualifying positions. Att
one point it appeared as if he
were directing traffic, and he even
seemed to signal Anoufriev to goI
ahead to take first place.

Smashing Finish by Whitfield.
Whitfield put on a smashing
finish to retain the 800-meter title
he won at London in 1948, beating
out Jamaica's Arthur Wint in a
six-man blanket finish. Whitfield
equaled his own Olympic standard
OF 1892, but was deprived of a
chance to break it when he got
off to bad start and ran in last
place for a while after being
crowded.
Whitfield became Americas
sixth gold-medal winner in track
and field events. Iness' record was
the seventh new Olympic mark es-
tablished in three days of competi-
ton.
The eighth fell a few minutes
later when Herbert Schade, an
effortless German runner, won
his qualifying heat in the 5000
meter run in IA minutes 15.4 sec
onds. This bettered the old Olym-
pic mark of 14:17.6 set by CASTOR
Reif of Belgium in >1948.
The ninth Olympic record fell
when Ragnar Lunberg of Sweden
cleared IA feet 5.23 inches early
in the pole vault finals. The old
mark, which has stood since 1896,
was IA feet 3A inches, by Earle
Meadows Of the United States.
