tie into the fast **25-20’* team of
Harlingen here Sunday evening at
3 o’clock on the Victoria Heights
school grounds.
A great game :s expected for of
the three falls taken from the lo-
cals the Harlingen aggregation has
obtained two.
The local boys put up what is be-
lieved to have been the best game
in Brownsville and perhaps the Val-
ley this season on the Fourth of
July when they trimmed the San
Benito Aztecas in a cieat left-
handed pitching battle. 1-0. The
lone tally taken by the locals came
late in the game on a bad peg from
second to home plat as the winning
run raced in.
Charlie Santiago twirler of the
classical Fourth game is expected to
be available for Sunday’? game.
The game is considered a final
test of the two teams.
RECORD MADE
AMAZES MANY
AT TRY-OUTS
Broad Jump Record Is
Shattered by Hamm;
Borah Provides Fin-
al Sensation
3y ALAN J. GOULD
(Associated Press Sports Editor)
HARVARD STADIUM. Cambridge
Mast. July 7.—OP)—Uncle Sam
served notice today that the Yanks
ere coming again this time in
athletic but none the less formid-
able array with Olympic conquest
as their main objective.
Final tryouts deciding t1’* makeup
of the American tract and field
team that sails next Wednesday for
Amsterdam were completed this
afternoon in the greatest carnival
of record-breaking performances
any meet has ever witnessed.
The most startling feats were
turned in by Ed Hamm Georgia
Tech’s famous broad jumper who
leaped to a new world's record of
25 feet 11 1-8 inches and by Lloyd
Hahn the Boston express who
shattered another world’s record by
winning the 800 meter finals in 1
minute 61 2-5 seconds.
These two world marks topped off
an unprecedented succession of rec-
ord feats in which one other world's
record was equalled two American
records shattered and ten national
A. A. U. championship marks either
broken or established. To give fur-
ther idea of the class of this Amer-
ican team it may be noted that the
existing Olympic games’ records
were bettered in six events during
the two-day meet and equalled in
three others.
Hamm’s amazing broad jump gave
the crowd its first thril' of the aft-
ernoon. Charley Borah the South-
ern California flier furnished the
final sensation as he romped off
with the 200-meter final bettering
the Olympic record for the third
time in a race that saw Charley
Paddock the blond California vet-
eran. stage a come-back to finish
second and clinch his place on the
Olympic team for the third time
along with his old rivet Jackson
Scboltz of the New York A. C.
Hamm’s mark was just a quarter
of an inch better than the former
record set in 19£5 by Dp Hart Hub-
bard. Cincinnati negro then wear-
ing the colors of the University of
Michigan as he jumped 25 feet. 10
7-8 inches. Hubbard saw his mark
go by the boards today yielding the
crown to Hamm without being able
to improve on the mark of 23 feet
11 1-2 inches be achieved yester-
day and which gave the negro
third place and a berth to Amster-
dam. where he will defend the
Olympic title.
Hahn heating off chail»nges. first
by Kay Watson of the Illinois A. C.
and then by Earl Fuller of the
Olympic club. San Francisco in the
final 800 meter race broke the
world’s mark for this distance but
failed in his additional attempt to
shatter the 880-yard record. His
time of 1:51 2-5 for the 800 meters
erased the figure of 1:51 3-5. ret by
the famous German. Dr. Otto Pelt-
zer. in London in 1926. hut the doc-
tor ran a full 880-yard race that
day in that time receiving credit
for the 800 meter marl: because it
improved on the book standard
also.
New American records fell to the
distance running prowess of the
veteran Joie Kay in the 10 000 me-
ter final ard to his Illinois A. C.
club mate Ray Conger in a spec-
tacular 1500 meter race.
Tom Gene Fight
Is Predicted ‘Flop’
By Norman Brown
BY NORMAN E. BROWN
Four or five days before the last
battle between Gene Tunney and
Jack Dempsey the timid chap who
1 is writing this was taken to task by
the heavyweight champion for voic-
I ing the opinion that a second victory
. for Tunney would cause a decided
| slump in the heavyweight market.
Well what of it?
Nothing.
Except that the news that Johnny
Risko may be substituted for Tom
! Heeney as an opponent for Gene be-
cause of the utter lack of interest in
the forthcoming battle is very signi-
ficant.
The Tunney-Heeney battle is
doomed to be a flop financially and
from the standpoint of caliber in
general.
Tex Rickard realizes now more
than ever that it was Jack Dempsey
I who made the heavyweight game
j good. And Tunney ought to realize
I it too.
Tunney it is generally accepted
has no personal following or appeal.
Never had. Never will have. Clean
decent upstanding chap with a high
(Purpose in life. But unfortunately
j perhaps none of these enter into the
l matter of creating a popular follow-
ing. Tunney lacks the wallop and
fighting instinct of Dempsey the
cleverness and speed of Jim Corbett
and other attributes that have made
! his predecessory outstanding figures
in the ring.
Heeney was a set-up the day he
jeame to America. He hasn’t done
enough fighting to warrant a place
|>n the semi-final of such a battle.
He was rushed in for the gate. No
one blames him for accepting the
■ chance to clean up.
Turney’s announcement — rather
I Premature—that he was in a hurry
to take a walking trip abroad didn’t
help matters any.
• • s
As for Risko. he’s in an odd posi-
ony he*vyweight
n the field who has done enough in
tCt.wa!LC0^bat t0 8u*«est a battle
with the champion. He licked Heeney.
though he lost the decision. He lick-
ed Jack Sharkey. He licked Paolmo
l zkudun. He licked George Godfrey.
He licked Jack Delaney.
No one else has that much of a
record to offer in support of a claim
-o the right to meet Tunney. Yet
Risko was sidetracked. Rickard's
apparent reason for aidetracking the
CdeveUnder was the presumably
allyhooiag value of an international
battle.
Mr. Rickard finds himself about to
.** raon«y* If Risko is tossed in it
will be to save the gate.

Wymore. who holds the flyweight

Pancho. Wymore gave him a great
battle staying in and fighting the
entire time and In the words of
the San Antonio Light tie “judges
kindly gave Lyncho the decision."
Macey received considerable com-
ment on the punch that he delivered
after some thirty or forty seconds
of boxing which knocked hia oppon-

that it was thirty minutes before
he recovered. The round had hard-
ly started when Macey squared off.
