Observers concede the Canadians at Jeast an even chance to win the nal. The 400-metre race is neither a Kile nor a distance race. W. A ie son of Montreal and James Ball innipeg are among the favorites and they are supported by Phil Ed- wards, representing Hamilton Olym- ic Club. All three came success- ully through two sets of trials to- day, but the fourth Canadian entrant in the field of 75 was eliminated, F. W. MacBeth of Hamilton trailing the field in his second trial. Wilson in East Heat Wilsen pressed Ray Barbuti of the United States, to the best time of any recorded in the trials, 48 4-5 _ seconds, running a good second to the American in the second trial. Edwards won both his races, his best time being 40 1-5, while Ball won both his trials and showed 49 2-§ seconds in the last one. Ball display- ed a great reserve of speed in both races, promising well for tomorrow's events. The 800-metre women runners.gave the immense crowd the thrill of the afternoon, the first six finishers all breaking the world's record. Can- ada's entrants finished fourth and fifth, Jean Thompson of Péfetang leading Fanny Rosenfeld of Tor- onto, but each striving to give the other the honor, The winner was Fraulein Radke of Germany, whose time was 2 Angtes 16 4-5 seconds, inuye Hitomi of Japan was secon oa Riss Gentzael of Sweden third, ! Florence Macdonald of the United | States finished behind the Canadian girls, : ! " The women got off to a beautiful start and rounded the first curve at a stiff pace wtih Fraulein Dollinge of Germany in the lead. Jean | Thompson was right at her heels, A little further Miss Hitomi went 'in from fairly even with Miss ' Thompson. Rounding into the straight-away Fraulein Radke opened up and took the lead from the Japanese girl. They raced evenly down the stretch, with the German girl spurting to cross the tape seven , seconds under the world's record for the distance. : : The two Canadian girls gained a total of five points for their places, They came off the tracks with arms around each 'other's neck, and lazily fell on the ground in front of the tribunes to have their pictures taken, The judges took five minutes to decide the respective positions of the girls, while the girls themselves waited expectantly, It was the first time that contestants had been allowed to linger on the leisure of the announcer, Sculler's Win The Canadian activities for the day were completed on the placid Sloten Canal five miles away, where Joe Wright Jr, romped through his pre- liminary singles heat with D. H, F, Gunterby of Holland, and the Ar- gonaut Club eight from Toronto won their heat from Denmark by two lengths. Wright's time for the 2,000- metre course was 7 minutes 55 sec- onds, The Diamond Sculls holder was master of Gunterby after gaining a slight lead at the start, being con- tent to finish a length ahead, rowing only 24 strokes to the minute at the finish. : The eight-oared érew were behind the fast-stroking rowers from Den- mark for the first 250 metres, but passed their opponents at 'the half- way mark and had a big open-water lead when they finished, in the fairly fast time of 6' minutes and 28 seconds, Large Crowds The fifth day of the games saw the stands packed in contrast to diminishing crowds which charac- terized the 1924 Olympic Games. As the eyents proceed it seems r= ent that the spectators regar the contests with a sport-loving instinet, and not as a show or panorama. The plaudits of the assembly were given impartially, irrespective of national prejudices, to the victors, and when any athlete does a good turn to a competitor cheers invar- jably greet the act. : . 3 The crowd today again showed its liking for victories by the smaller teams by cheering and whistling when the Canadian flag was mounted on the secondary pole in token of wrest- ling achievements, the Finnish flag being on the main pole. "Well, hat are you going to win this afternoon, was the greeting given the Canadians as the games got r way.

The teams were the winners of the A and B groups of the league and another game will 'be played Saturday night at seven o'clock in Pigkering. If Buicks lose, the third and deciding game will be played in Whitby either next Tues- day or Wednesday. The game last night was featur- ed by home runs by Naylor of Bu- icks and Irwin of Pickering. Hink's twirling for Buicks was none too good, but he had the team behind him, He allowed 11 hits, struck- out four and walked five. Nolan for Pickering allowed 19 hits struck-out five and walked two. Reeves of Buicks provided the fielding features with two sensa- tional catches.

Cincinnati remains half a game ahead of New York in games, but lags in percentage through having lost three more than MeGraw's club while wininng only four more, but the Giants are 6% games behind the leading Cardinals. The turning point came in the fitth when, after Terry had been purposely passed to fill the bases, Jackson doubled, scoring two runs. That broke a 3 to 3 tie, giving the Giants an advantage which they mever thereafter lost. Red Lucas, one of four Cincinnati pitch- ers, was in the box at the time. Joe Genmewich was hit hard in spots, but won with something to spare, £ Game-- Visitors Blanked 12.0 BASEBALL RECORDS ---- INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE x Lost P.C.

Go to it! Bear in mind that swim- ming is simple and natural IF you go about it in the right way, By this time yon should have become thoroughly familiar with the various movements in the crawl, back stroke and breast stroke. If you haven't, re-read them and start practic- ing. Remember that any m.- complishment is only attained after practice and plenty of it. Don't feel self-conscious when you first enter the water and begin floundering around a bit. Every- body went through the same pro- cess . Right here I might mention the faet that water about three or four feet deep would be just right. The depth is sufficient to admit of swimming, but not deep enough to cause any fear of drowning. Start right out and don't stop to consider the pros and coms. 1In- stinctively your arms and legs will work in co-ordination. If you re- member my instructions you will learn in a surprisingly short time. (Copyright, 1928, Big News Fea- tures, Inc.) BEARS TAKE TWO Jersey City, N.J., Aug. 2.--The Newark Bears took a pair of games from Jersey City here today, and as a result, took the series from the Jersey, three to one. Newark won the first gamre In the ninth inning, when Martin's errors allowed two Bears to scamp- er across the plate. Fast fielding featured the final game, the Bears making four dou- ble plays and winning eventually by three to one. The double victory sent tse | Bears into third place, while Ro- # chester dropped down to fourth, - SPORT SNAPSHO1S Tomorrow is an open date at Alexandra Park and apparently certain parties were in the throes of a er when Oshawa's four senior teams were booked for out-of-town games on the same date. The_Senior lacrosse team will be back on the holiday, however, to ef e Torontos right after meeting them on Saturday and the blue-shirts should furnish some excitement. Oshawa and Torontos have only mingled once this season, the locals nosing out the visitors here 5-5 in ten minutes overtime. That was the second game of the season and the teams are hardly recognizable since then. Waghorne's men are always in the thick of the melee and the fans are assured of action, which is paramount. After St. Simon's knock off Brampton on Saturday they bump into Weston on Monday and are very apt to take the short-end. If St. Cath- arines lose to Weston on Saturday and to Brampion on Monday Oshawa will not be so crowded for the third position. ight now it looks as if both the senior lacrosse and baseball teams will be in the play-offs. In the ©.AL.A. the first three teams fight it out, the winners of the argument between the second and third teams playing the league-leaders for the title. This was modelled after the Canadian professional hockey league in a rash moment : The central league didn't go quite so far being satisfied to have the first and second teams fight for the titie. Belleville has the first position cinched and Oshawa, unless Dainty breaks his arm is firmly ensconced in the place position. A victory at Peterboro tomorrow and a double win at Kingston on the holiday will settle things. Pennants of the Danforth ladies' league in Toronto disappointed a large crowd of softball fans at the collegiate grounds last night when they arrived on the scene for an exhibition The game was billed for 7 o'clock and when 8.10 an ten minutes late. ame with Malleables one hour arrived and no Toronto visitors the fans began to drift homewards like- wise the Oshawa players with deep disgust written on their faces. When the peanut girls did arrive the teams had to be mixed up and only three innings played. The Pennant team games as preliminaries for the heal has for an the ambitious play-offs of the game if they cut the schedule down and spent weeks and weeks in preparation for a journey of thirty-two miles. programme of exhibition but it would be better irst thing Jimmie Van Evera knows the firm will go under due to, a boycott of peanuts in the crinkly bag. Pennants should be refused permission by the O.A.S.A. to play any more exhibition games. Apparently the Mean City team thought they were invading bucolic surroundings. Joe Wright, the Argonaut eight and Wright and Guest in the doubles are headed for the sculling championships at the Olympics. The double-blue oarsmen are considered the class of the contestants and have lived up to expectations in the initial heats. The Canadian relay team also has an excellent chance in the track event with Williams as anchor and with Bricker and Miles strong contenders in the marathon everything points a wild reception when the athletes arrive home. People who believe the United States alibis for their failures in the track events are added to the "sucker list,' ' according to reports. Maple Leafs and Cedardale will play the second Juyenile lacrosse game of the season tonight commencing at 6.45 The officials of the league will draw up a schedule following the game and other teams are requested to have a representative on hand.

YANKS LOSE St. Louis, Aug. 2.--The roar of the Athletics became louder in the ears of the Yankees this evening as the Browns nosed out the cham- pions by 4 to 3 in 15 innings after the rushing Mackmen had taken Cleveland into camp, 6 to 0, earl- ier in the day for the tenth straight Philadelphia victory. The St. Louis game was broken up by Wally Stewart, who won his own decision by combing a single from Herb Pennock with the bases filled and none out in the fifteenth and early-evening shadows creep- ing upon Sportman's Park, The defeat dropped the Yankees to within 4% games of the flying Athletics, who have taken ten straight and 17 out of their last 18.

McLarnin, the conqueror of Sid Terris and Phil McGraw, disposed of the sturdy South American with a left hook to the head, following the punch with a short right that caught Loayza flush on the chin. His body draped over the lower rope of the ring for a second, then he fell back and attempted to re- gain his feet, but was still on his knees vainly trying to shake the cobwebs out of the dizzy brain when he was counted out. The match was boxed before a coatless, sweltering crowd of 1¥,. 000, with gate receipts around $88,000, a record for lightweight competition in the West. The re- ceipts exceeded the match in which Sammy Mandell won the light- weight title from Rocky Kansas in Chicago two years ago. McLarnin, the sharpshooter, was unable to get the range on the Chi- lean until the third round, but from then on the South American was on the receiving end, a cer- tain knockout victim. His puzzling style of boxing in a low crouch and continually weaving and bobbing bothered McLarnin in the first two sessions, Action in Third Round. In the third, however, McLarnin began to open up. After trading lefts to the head and catching an- other left from Loayza, Jimmy cracked the onrushing Chilean witn a short right to the chin that all but upset him. He repeated and then knocked a left to the head, After Loayza landed a feeble left to the head, McLarnin smashed him with two short rights to the jaw and banged him with a right and left to the head as the bell ended the session, As they came out for the fourth McLarnin landed a left and right to the head. He circled around Lo- ayza, repeating the punches. Then, backing away from him, he sud- denly stepped in with another left and right, flooring bis opponent and ending the bout. ' Eddie Kane, manager of Sanmmy Mandell, world's lightweight cham- pion, tentatively accepted terms to- night for another Mandell-McLar- nin match, to be decided in the Olympia Arena next fall.

Doyle's Pitching ubdues Royals Backed Up By Lusty Clouting Leaf Veteran Brings Team Out on Long End Toronto, Aug. 3--"Jess" Doyle proved a big stumbling block to Ed- die Holly's hopes of getting his Mon- treal team out of Toronto with a majority of victories in the five-game series, Opposing Roy Sherrid, some- times referred to as the "ace" of the Royal pitching staff, in the final game of the set at Leaf Stadium yes- terday, "Slow Motion" again turned in a notable victory for the O'Hara toilers and it wasn't necessary to go cleven innings to beat Mr. Sherrid as happened in Montreal on the last occasion this pair hooked up. The Leafs won by 4 to 1 over the regula- tion distance and it proved a good game of baseball from cvery stand- point except that of Manager Holly and his co-workers. It was Doyle's fourth win in succession, and it leng- thened Toronto's lead to five games. . In addition to some effective hurl- ing, Mr. Doyle obliged with Some timely hitting. He started the Leafs on the way to their first run in the third inning with a single, and drove in two counters in the jonrth with another stinging drive to the outfield. He contributed a third hit on his next 2ppearance at the plate, but ijt wasn't needed. Had his base-running been as effective as his other per- formances, the locals would have had an additional run, Doyle was nailed at the plate in trying to score from second on Sheedy's single to left, but nobody is perfect. : Alexander's fielding was as promin- ent as his hitting. On three occa- sions he robbed the visitors of what looked like sure singles to right iy rumarkable stops and retired the rup- ners. Webb also made 3 couple of neat fielding plays on hard: ki: ground balls. The Koyals were hitting the ball hard, but failed to hit it into clear spaces. Their drives were usually. righ: at somebody, or within reach of the Toronto fielders. The Leafs will be idle today, but they meet Buffalo here tomorrow in a double header. Burke and Phillips will be back in the game at that time, it is e ted. The teams will also play a. doubleheader at Buffalo on Sunday, and two games here on "Monday, Civic Holiday, , Young Finlander Breaks Record Set by Nurmi Harry Larva, Paavo's Coun- tryman, Sets New Mark for 1,500 Metre Run -- Canada in Fourth Place in Standing With 28 Points Olympic Stadium, Amsterdam, Aug. 2. -- Finland trotted out a successor to Nurmi in the Olympic 1,500 metres this afternoon, and the slim 20-year star, Harry Larva, responded by outrunning the French threat, ""Chesty'" Jules La- doumegue, and smashing Paavo Olympic record. This latest addition to the "Fly- ing Finns' demonstrated why Nur- mi is now confining his efforts to the longer distances by galloping around the field and past all rivals to break the tape in 3 minutes 53 1-5 seconds just 2-5 second better than Nurmi's 1924 record. Day's Feature Race Larva's victory in this Olympic classic featured the fifth day of the Olympic track and field com- petition. One world's and two more Olympic records were brok- en as Finland, Sweden, Germany and Japan divided the day's princi- pal spoils. Javelin honors returned to Swe- den for the first time since 1912 as a young sign painter, E, H. Lund- quist, smashed the Olympic rec- ord with a throw the equivalent of 218 feet 6 7-8 inches and heat a field in which all six finalists sur- passed 207 feet. Mikio Oda won the hop, step and jump for Ja- pan"s first Olympic championship, with 49 feet 10 13-16 inches. The 1924 champion, A. W. Abkaw Winter of Australia, failed to qual- ity. In the unofficial point gcore Finland served notice it is ready to make a strong finish by moving up to second place with 48, displacing Britain whose total after 15 events is now 37. Canada is now in fourth place, with 28. The Unit- ed States leads with 128 1-2 points. Finland's javelin throwers ,in- cluding Eino Pentila, world's reu- ord-holder, suffered set-backs at the hands of the young Swede, but Larva and his teammate, Eino Porje, put on a spectacular 1,5u¢ metre act to even matters, i Twelve Starters There were twelve starters, rep- resenting eight nations, in this OI- ympic equivalent of a mile run, but the two young Finns nominatea it from the start to finish with one of the prettiest exhibitions ever seen. Larva set the pace for the first lap, jockeying with two Ger- and Hans Wichmann, after which man contenders, Herbert Boher Porje took over the assignment and set a killing pace for the field until the last turn, .There Ladoumegue, French hope, made his bid, thinking Forje his man to beat. Finnish strategy worked per- fecty. The Frenchman ran him- self out in a permature spurt, while the long-striding Larva came bounding on to win by three yards. Ladoumegue barely had enough to stave off Porje's bid for second place. EX-BUFFALONIAN BREAKS RECORD Philadelphia, Aug. 3.--The tail- end: Phillies took their usual beat- ing today, this time from the hands of the Pittsburg Pirates, 18 to 4. The Pirates einched the game by scoring twelve runs in the first three innings. Glen Wright hit a homer with two on in the second inning and Grantham duplicated the stunt in the third. Fresco Thompson, the Phillies' second baseman increased his string of consecutive chances ac- cepted without an error to 136 to- day, breaking the record of 135 established earlier in the season by Horace Ford, Cincinnati shortstop. TIGERS DROG RAG Detroit, Aug. 2.--Detroit came from behind to tie the score in the ninth and then win the second game of the series from Washing- ton, 5 to 4, in 12 innings here today, It was the ninth victory in the last eleven games for the §igers.
