pionships to his credit Harry Gill

ship.
After 26 years* service as track
coach at the University of Illinois.
Gill will take r leave of absence
next year. Charles Werner a hurd-
ling star he developed will succeed
him. Werner a hurdler is the
holder or co-holder of five world
records and is a former captain of
the Illini track team.
Truly a maker of c.iampions. Gill

the world's high jump record; Av-
ery Brundage. now president of the
A. A. U.; Dan Kinsey. Olympic hur-
dles champion of 1924. and Dave
Abbott sensational two-miler. Even
more remarkable ha: been Gill's
ability to build well balanced teams
and his long service was climaxed
by his team winning the Big Ten
championship in 1928 and 1929
As an athlete Gill was versatile
and formidable. Representing a
Toronto club in the A. A. U. meet
in New York in 1920. he heave the
56-pound weight. 27 feet 7 inches
for a record He also won the
high jump shot put and hammer

satisfaction on the year 1924 Ordi-
narily under the same circumstan-
ces the average ball player wouldn't
for that season O'Dcul landed witn
the Sait Lake City Coast Imp*
tram after being released by the
Boston Red Sox. But for Lefty it
was the turning point in his career
He gave up pitching and became
an outfielder—an ambition he had
pursed for a long time.
Now. instead of laboring on the
mound in some minor league he
is clouting his way jxissibly to the
batting championship of the Na-
tional league.
Lefty broke into 140 games that
year and hit the ball at a .332 clip
And to prove that this feat was
no fluke he came back the follow-
ing year with an average of .375.
That was enough to attract th*
attention of the big leagues. H**
had be"n up twice before but never
as a regular outfielder. Joe Mc-
Carthy purchased nim for his Chi-
cago Cubs but for seme reason < r
other sent him right bade to the
Coast league with Hollywood.
ODoul again centered* his efforts
on hitting the ball and came
through the 192G season with an
average of .338. In 189 games with
San Fiar.cisco in 1927 he earned a
batting average of .378 and another
trip to the big league wth the Ne.v
York Giants. He rame to the Phil-
lies in a trade with the Giants last
October for Fred Leach.

DODGES HIGH HAT
NEW YORK. Aug. 3.—(£*>—
Bucky Harris probably is just as
well satisfied his latest visit to
the enthusiastic playground of
Connie Mack's pennant-geared
Athletics is over.
Bucky seldom makes mistakes
but Philadelphia critics believe
the Detroit manager ‘'pulled one”
when he gave an interviewer the
impression he thought the Ath-
letics were becoming a trifle "high-
hat” over their present high es-
tate in the American league race.
Harris insists he intended to
give no such impression. As he
pointed out. he has given the As
all due credit for making a great
race. Yet Bucky left town last
night after four days of razzing"
from the stands and the Tigers
departed with four stright dc-
f°ats plastered upon them.
An incident of the series in-
volved an attempt to present Har-
ris a silk "topper” on the field
but the Tiger pilot suspecting a
ruse refused to emerge from his
dugout when the gift-hearing fans
requested his presence on the field
for a ceremony

WEATHER SUMMARY
Barometric pressure was moder-
ately high this morning over the
northern Rocky mountain north-
ern and central Plains states and
apparently over the Gulf of Mex-
ico; and relatively low throughou*
the regions of the Great Lake;
Ohio valley and the far Southwest.
This pressure distribution ha.-
caused much cooler weather
throughout the Northwest and
moderate to heavy rains in the
Great Lakes' region and adjacent
states. Unseasonably high tem-
peratures continue in the central
and southeastern states.

after August 10 by others than Paul
terday requester the resignations of
Prehn Sam Luzzo and A1 Mann.
Governor Louis L. Emmerson yes-1
the present Illinois state athletic i
commission with the brief comment
that such a change "would un-
doubtedly be for the best interests
of boxing in Illinois."
The action came just before the
Mandell-Canzoneri light weight
championship fight last night and
circumstances in connection with
distribution of tickets for the bat-
tle were believed to have been large-
ly responsible. The governor made
no mention of Waltef George com-
mission secretary in his request for
resignations but it was understood
he would be expected to move out.
No successors have been named
and it was said Governor Emmerson
was having difficulty in persuad-
