Columbia U. Hull Flashes
Home Ahead In Race
On Thames
HENLEY-ON-THAMES Eng.
July 3.—(/P)—In the finest race of
the opening day of the Henley re-
gatta the Columbia university 150-
lb. eight beat the Westminster Bank
Rowing club in its first heat for
the Thames challenge cup.
It was a grilling affair over the
entire course with the Americans
leading the greater_part of the time.
The determined struggle wound up
dramatically when the American
boys launched a magnificent spurt
about 300 yards from home.
They flashed ahead by a canvas
—about six feet—and held their ad-
vantage despite repeated efforts by
the Britons passing the winning
post in seven minutes and 32 sec-
onds amid tremendous applause
from the big crowd.

Trojan Stars Leaping For Honors
In Denver A. A U. Championships
LOS ANGELES July 3.—It must
be that Southern California boys
are becoming strongly air-minded
for the southland now has a trio
of broad jumpers who threaten to
soar to the top places in the Na-
tional A. A. U. junior and senior
championships meet July 3-5 at
Denver.
The trio comes from the Uni-
versity of Southern California and
will represent the Los Angeles
Athletic club team which is being
coached this summer by Dean
Cromwell who developed the boys
in the first place as the Southern
California university mentor.
■ The three Trojans doped to place
high up in the national champion-
ships are Jesse Hill who has
passed the 25-foot mark and Howard
Paul and Dick Barber who have
beaten 24 feet. Hill is the national
intercollegiate champion and record
holder at 25 feet 3-8 inch in the
broad jump. Paul’s woik has been
overshadowed this season by that
of Hill but the little Trojan sopho-
more has been up close to Hill in
every met. Paul whose best mark
of the season is 24 feet 1-2 inch
placed third in both the I. C. 4-A
and N. A. A. championships.
Barber a Trojan freshman has
looked even more sensational on
numerous times than Hill. He took
second in the recent west coast re-
lay championships with a jump of
24 feet 6 3-8 inches that beat both
Hill and Paul. He again defeated
the pair of varsity men in a recent
southwest A. A. U. championship
meet in Los Angeles the varsity
stars having to be content with sec-
ond and third.
Because of his intercollegiate
championship Hill will be eligible
to comr in only the senior na-
tional i.. A. U. championship on
July 4 but Paul and Barber will
take part in both the junior na-
tional meet on July 3 and the senior
championships on the following day.
SPORTS
TALK
Speaking of baseball—
The greatest of them fall. Jakey
Atz is no longer manager of the
Fort Worth Cats. He resigned his
post and the reins of the Cowtown
team were taken up by Frank Sny-
der lately deposed as manager of
the Bungling Buffs. The bouquets
flew thick and fast when Atz laid
down the controls. Atz said he
didn’t quit. President Ted Rob-
inson of the Cats said he didn’t fire
Jakey. They agreed that it was for
’he best of all concerned that
someone also take the helm of the
Cowtown nine.
• • •
President Robinson said of Atz:
“I as well as thousands of fans
love old Jake as a brother recog-
nize him as one of the greatest
managers in baseball major or
minor and know there’s no finer
gentleman anywhere but for the
best interest of baseball in Fort
Worth the change was necessary.”
* * •
Buffalo hides will not be worth
two whoops down a smokestack in
Fort Worth from now on out. Sny-
der pteyed the role of victimized
hero at Houston. When his team
was going great and won the Dixie
series nothing was too good for
Pancho. But this year he couldn't
get going. The Buffs drew the ap-
propriate adjective of “bungling.” No
one had anything for Pancho but a
scathing piece of chin music. It all
culminated with Snyder leaving the
club. Snyder will beat those Buffs
now If he has to take to the field
and play two positions himself.
• • •
The Texas League magnates have
voted to spit the season. The split
took effect yesterday. Dallas won
the first half championship ending
about one-half game ahead of the
Sports. The Spudders were within
easy striking distance of either of
the two. Houston tail end club
made the move for the snlit season.
The motion was seconded by Beau-
mont two matches above the Buffs.
• * •
There will be plenty of sport on
hand tomorrow. Ample doing in
McAllen and Brownsville. Here
the Palmez-Tigers will play the
Sintcn Grey Sox a double header
on the Palm Courts diamond. The
first game will get under way at
9:30 a. m. and the second at 3:30
p. m. The locals have been bear-
ing down hard in practice sessions
since losing a pair to the Har-
lingen Red Ants last Sunday.
They out-hit and out-pitched
their opponents but errors cost
them both games. The Grey Sox
arc said to be a strong amateur
outfit.
• • •
At McAllen there will be bull
fights baseball and prize fights.
Juan Silveti will put a little blood
on his sword by running it through
the vitals of four fighting bulls.
Providing of course that a bull
doesn’t perform the same stunt with
a horn. Silvetti has appeared in
the Revnosa bull ring before.
• • •
The boxing impressarios have de-
cided that Sailor Barrera was not
tough enough for Patsy Peck.
They’ve got “Wild Cat” Ewing to
take his place on the card at Rey-
nosa on the evening of the Fourth.
Peck Mission high school all-
around athlete’ is no flashy per-
former In the ring but he achieves
his objectives. With a bit more ex-
perience he could be tossing
knuckles In faster pugilistic circles
than the Valley boasts.
• • •
Battling Shaw will fight Sam
Ward of Fort Worth in one of the
semi-windups. Shaw has not had
to extend himself to win since
his first Kid Ruiz battle. Since
he has plastered Johnny Huehes
and a few other tough boys. W’ard
is said to be a good scrapper and
this fight mav develop into a real
slam-bang affair.
* • •
The main event will find Pedro
Lopez scrambling ears with Oscar
Koehler of Houston. In the semi-
final Kid Kober of Dallas and Duke
Trammell of Fort Worth will meet.
The semi-final is viewed by Fort
Worth scribes as the best on the
card. Rivalry between the two
fighters has been high and they are
said to be the cream of their class
in Texas. .
• • •
Edinburg golfers will not be done
out of their fun on the Fourth of
July. The Country club has made
arrangements for a flag tourna-
ment. All Valley golfers have been
invited. The regular handicaps will
be added to the 72 par of the Ed-
inburg course and the player plant-
ing hiis flag the greatest distance
around the course will be the win-
ner. *

(By The Associated Press)
The situation of the Cardinals is
becoming more alarming every t»ay
but at the current writing it ap-
pears there is not even a situation
in the Amerfcan league the Athle-
tics waylaying the Senators at will
to maintain their already propitious
lead.
The champions of John Heydler’s
circuit dropped their sixth straight
yesterday when the ambitious Pi-
rates won 5 to 3 at Forbes field.
The Cubs held the pace by shading
the Reds in Chicago 5 to 4 in 11
rounds. By way of focusing a bit
of attention on the American league
the Athletics slammed the Senators
7 to 4 and 4 to 1 gaining half a
game on the Yankees who nosed
out the Red Sox 4 to 3 in 10
innings.
The defeat of the Cardinals ran
Billy Southworth’s losing streak to
12 games in the last 14. The Cubs

champions behind and even the sec-
ond division yawns if the Cardinals
cannot check their descent.
Cubs Hold Lead
The Cubs remained half a game
ahead of the Pirates and increased
their margin over the Giants to
four full contests. The New York-
ers took the first game of a dou-
ble-header at Boston by 6 to 3 as
Melvin Ott hit his 23rd homer but
the Braves claimed the second 3 to
2. The Phillies and the robins got
the afternoon off.
By overpowering the Senators in
the first game and outpointing them
with more finesse on Jimmy Foxx’s
15 homer in the second the Ath-
letics extended their mastery of the
Washingtonians to 15 games in 17
starts this season. The Macks in-
cidentally stretched their lead over
the Yankees and the Browns to nine
and one-half games.
The Tigers slugged the Browns
10 to 4. The Yankees thus climbed
back into second place by a per-
centage margin although virtually
tied with the Browns. The Indians
won two extra inning games from
the White Sox in Cleveland 4 to 3.
in 10 innings and 5 to 4 in 11.

The locals have been bearing
down hard in practice session since

out-hit and out-pitched their op-
ponents but errors at inopportune
times permitted the winning run-'
to tricKi? over the home platter.
