TOURNAMENT; MILLERS 2nd
-------0------—
NEW YORK, Auk. 28.—Charley Pad-
dock, Los Angeles sprint star and for-
mer Olympic champion, today shatter-
ed a ac-year-old world's record when
he raced 260 yards in 25 2-5 seconds
in a special event featuring the senlor
metropolitan A. A. U. track and field
championships at Travers Island.
Paddock smashed by two-fifths of
a second the former mark for the dis-
tance which was set in 1888 by Charles
Sherrill, then a Yale athlete and now'
a brigadier general. The coast star,
in what probably was his farewell ap-
pearance on eastern tracks before his
retirement, had little opposition, fin-
ishing ten yeards in front of G. R.
Thompson of the New York Athletio
Club with Andrus of Newark Athletic
Club third.

Throughout the summer Jack has been
assisting Knute Rockne in staging
coaches ‘training schools in various
sections of the country.
If Austin sportsmen manifest suf-
ficient interest, St. Ed's athletic au-
thorities will stage in Austin three
games that should be thrilling enough
and hard fought enough to satisfy any
football enthusiast. St. Ed’s has games
with Louisiana Poly scheduled for Nov.
1 at Austin, with Tulsa University at
Austin for Nov. 6, and with Rolla
(Missouri) School of Mines at Austin.
Last year St. Ed's lost heavily on ath-.
letics, and the authorities of the local
college can not afford to take big
chances this season. Each of the three
games mentioned would draw heavily
at San Antonio, where the Saints are
huge favorites; and it is entirely likely
that tl.e games will be played in the
Alamo City, unless so strong a senti-
ment is aroused in Austin as to give
St. Ed’s athorities assurance that the
contests would be financial successes
if staged in Austin.
Last September, the Detroit Tigers
played great ball, winning more than
twenty of Ute thirty gants played in
that month. If the Tigers eno play as
well this Septenber, they should come
through to a championship win.

It is to be hoped that every inch of
8pace in the Ranser Park grandstand
and bleachers will be pa :kod tlis aft-
ernoon, when McIver's nine takes on
Ute Temple Surgeons in a double-
header. Houghton Erowlee aid Dave
Reed, who have Lorio tie fin .tcial
burden of the season that clozes this
afternoon, certainly need all the en-
courtement they van got, for the sea-
son has not been a huge financial suc-
cess by any ineans, aud the owners
of the Ranger elub will not be particu-
larly keen about risking further losses
in 1925. However, the writer believes
they are ueh keen sportsren and
such loyal < itizens that they wil be
wiling to back the -ae aguin in
1925, in the ho?u of Letter for time.
Many fans declare that the local
club had no rgh to exgect su»port
because it lost consistently during a
great part of the season. The Ranger
owners, however, did not spare noney
in the effort to weld together a win-
ning club, and they xere certainly
deserving of the most loyal backing of
local fans.
Billy Disch. Is working hard to line
up the strongest possible nine to take
with him to San Antonio for a five
game series against the Almao-Peck
Indians. The first game w‘H be rlayed
Saturday of this week; and double-
headers will be played Sunday and
Labor Day. Art Falk, crack secopd-
sAekcer is erirled, and it is possible
that he will not be able to play. The
Disch men would be weakened without
the 8orvice of the heady "Skirper."
Manny Ponsore, Fexas University
star southpaw pitcher, is hurling this
summner *or the El Paso llustlers of
the Copper League, a fast semi-pro
organization. Ponsford has been get-
ting along splendidiy. Bart Green,
former Waco lledskin pitcher, has just
joined the Rustler piting staff.
Just a few more week* and football
will be with up. The real eport fan
always lias eomething in life to look
forward to, regardless of xlipther he,
himself, is on his loot legs. For after
foothcAl. comes baekst lull; and then
baseball, tennie, golf, etc, etc.
In recognition of the faithful serviees
throughout th past two Seasons of
George Wormley, tio negro masseur,
who takes the kinks out of the Ranger
’ • • layers, a numb-ar of local fans
will this afterroon take up a collec-
tion for George. This colored boy is
very popular with the Ranger rlay-
ers, who will themselves “kick in” on
the collection.
Many a youngster longs to win fame
in the prize ring after reading of the
million dollar purses ottered a Demp-
sey. But a little sober reflection should
convince any level headed youth that
the floor of the ring is not covered
with “rosebuds." Consider the fates
of just a few of the late ring celeb-
rities: “Kid" MeCoy. indicted for
murder; Bill Brennan and Stanley
Ketchel, murdered;' Jack oJhnson, just
recently out of the penitentiary; “Ad"
Wolgast, his brain befuddled by the
many barrd blows he absorbed, a piti-
ful derelict on the Pacific Coast; Billy
Miske, dead as the result of Bright’s
disease, I ought about by the solid
smashes he took to the kidneys during
his bouts with Dempsey and other hard
hitters; and Jim- Jeffries, virtually
penniless and aimoat friendless. \
In his first game in the National
League, Art Weiss, recently purchased
by the Cubs from the Wichita Falls
club, sinacked out four blows but of
as many tries at the bat, and lead the
victorious assault of the Cubs. Man-
ager Killifer evidently gave oreence
to the advance notices o’ Weise, foy
he placed at the cleanup batting post.
Perhaps the fastest fight program
in the history the city has been
arranged, for the night of Labor Day
at the Austin Athletic Club by Direc-
tor E. A. Lake. The main bout be-
tween Jack Tolar, of Ban Antonio, and
"KW Gene" Cullen, of Azatin, will be
a hennier dil the way. Tolar is one
of the most promising youngsters the
Alamo City has seen hi action tuning
the pact eeveral years, ana will prob-
ably be a eVzht favorite over the
Austin scrapper.

Gilbert has been swimming the 320
yards in very last time, and it is
likely that the captain of the Deep
Eddy team will also be entered in this
event. Gilbert has never entered this
event in a meet before. Last year
Krueger of the local team won South-
ern honors in the 220ryard free style,
and he will make a strong effort to
repeat Friday of this week at Deep
Eddy. •

ANOTHER TRACK RECORD
his debut against Cleveland in Bos-
ton. July 11, 1914. He weakened in
the first half of the seventh and al-
lewed Cleveland to tie the score—3 to
3. Boston scored a run their half
and “Dutch" Leonard finished the
game.
' His two best years as a pitcher
were 1916 and 1917, when he I won
twenty-three and twenty-four games
respectively and lost but thirteen each
year. His highest winning percentage
was registered in 1915, however, when
he won eighteen and lost but seven
games. He led the league that year.
Ruth pitched sixteen consecutive
scoreless innings in the world’s series
of 1918. He had finished the 1916
series with thirteen scoreless innings.
This total of twenty-nine innings in
a row without allowing a run sur-
passed by one round the world’s series
record of Christy Mathewson.
Pitched Longest Game.
He defeated Brooklyn in a fourteen
inning game in 1916, the longest con-
test ever staged in a world’s series.
His first home run in a world’s series
was scored in 1921 when he lifted one
of Phil Douglas’ shoots out of the
park in th fourth game. He went
homer unless in the 1922 classics.
Then he socked three in the series
of last year. Two were in the second
game, McQuillan and Bentley being
the victims. The third was in the
sixth game and Art Nehf was the
victim. No one was on base when
the hits were made.
He swings a 54-ounce bat, which
is nine opnees heavier than the aver-
age bludgeon.
Austin swimming enthusiasts are due
for thrills when Captain Joe Gilbert of
the Deep Eddy team, Bob Fourakr of
the Dallas aggregation and “Buddy"
Smith of New Orleans meet Saturday
afternoon of this week for the 100-yard
free style swimming championship of
the South. Each of the three men
mentioned is a great sprinter. Gilbert,
the youngest of the three, is perhaps
the most promising prospect of the
South, while Fouraker and Smith are
swimmers of long and successful ex-
pertenee. Smith, the ace of the Cres-
cent City team, holds the Southern
record of 68 3-5 seconds for the 100-
yard dash. Gilbert has made even
faster time for this event, and it is
falrly certain that th Southern record
will be broken this week.
GENTS LEATHER BILL FOLDS
both in plain and with emblems. All in genuine,
hand-tooled leather.
Against the onsaughts of th* strong-
eat water athletes of New Orleans,
La., Dallas, Houston, Beaumont and
perhaps other Texas citieN, the Deep
Eddy team of Austin, chamddans of
the South in 1923, will Friday and Sat-
urday of this weeket Deep Eddy de-
fend its southern A. A. U. honors won
in such convincing fashion last year.
Coach Roy Henderson kept his men
out of the state meet staged a week
ago at Dallas, in order that they might
belter condition themselves for the
big test of this week. Jahn Mayfield
and Abe Parks, both of whom have
been slightly off color of late, are ex-
pected to be in fair condition for the
events of Friday and Saturday.
Competition will be staged in two
divisions—the senior and the junior.
The senior events will be as follows:
100 yeards tree style, 220 yards free
style; 100 yards back-stroke, 800 feet
relay and fancy diving. The senior
events will be open to all men eligible
under A. A. U. rules.
Competition in the junior events will
be open only to those men who have
never won a first place in a southern
A. A. U. meet in a senior eyent Most
of the members of the Austin team
will compote in the junior, as well as
in the senior division, as only three
members of the team—Captain Joe
Gilbert, Frank Krueger and Albert
Prater—have won first places in a
southern A. A. U. meet. Only three
events will be contested Ai the junior
division: namely, the 50 yards free
style swim, tho 100 yards breast stroke
and the fancy diving.
All the junior events, along with
. the 220 yards free style senior swim,
will be run off Friday afternoon, start-
ing at 3:30 o’clock; while the senior
* events will be staged Saturday after-
noon, starting at 3:39 o'clock. A nom-
inal charge will be made for admis-
sion each day.
Conch Henderson will enter a form-
idable team ‛n tke meet of this teek.
Led by the brilliant Joe Gilbert, cap-
tain of the team, the Deep Eddy swiin-
mers and divers will make a real bid
to retain their bonors. Other ath-
letes who will represent Austin Are:
Frank Krueger, John Mayfield, An-
drew Granger, Abe Park’?. Albert
Prater, Nagle, Frankie Fields. Bob
Waite and Harold Gallatin.
Bob Waite, the newest a 'ition to
the team, swinng unattached, won
a week ago the state championship
in the 100 yards breast stroke event
in the state meet held at Dalls.
New Orleans will enter a 5vjll-bal-
anced team of stars. Including such
notables as •’Buddy’’ Smith, holder of
the southern record tor the 100 yard
free style swim: Harry Gamble, and
Schwab, a brilliant diver.
Dallas' team will be headed by Bob
Fouraher, who a week aco won four
state titles, though his competition
was not as classy as it would have
been, had the Austin swimmers been
entered. Other members of the DaHas
team will be: Glass, Ragland, Kirk-
gard. Crow and Cole.
Houston will send a strone team to
the southern meet. Porter, Johnson,
Kniekerbocker and Hancock are just
four of the stars that will be sent to
Austin to represent the Baylor City.
Lovens of acguatic sports should
make it a point to see the everts of
Friday and Saturday afternoon at the
Deep Eddy pool.

Babe Ruth is thundering on toward
another wonderful record to hang up
with his past achievements in the
home run hitting. He has been trav-
cling along at a pace corresponding to
that which he set in 1921 when he
left the sport world dazed with his
collection of fifty-nine circuit clouts.
Just how high he will climb—whether
or not he will pass that great mark
is problematical, of course. However,
he has already given baseball more
home run statistics than any halter
who ever donned a uniform. In the
six years he has enjoyed his home
run fame he has mowed down records,
vital and uhique, in a ruthless manner
(with no intention of punning).
Most fans recall that he first shook
the baseball world by setting what
seemed an unbeatable mark of twenty-
nine homers in 1919.
The following year he raised that
number to fifty-four and the fandom
stood aghast. Then, in 1921, baseball
bugs went insane with joy watching
him ring up a total of fifty-nine—five
above that unheard of number of the
year previous.
Then camo a lean year in which
Babe fought evils of popularity, the
influence of unscrupulous friends and
the lure a quickly won fame and for-
tune brings to the man who started
life poor. That year, 1922, he made
but thirty-five circuit clouts.
Iast year he raised that number to
forty-one—tieing with Ken Williams
for the title.
Here are some of the interesting
details in connection with his career
and his records.

that they are the fastest Class A
combination in the history of baseball.

halves of the season, Jaltie Atz'e Cats

ed themselves up among the leading
ten.
Babe Ruth, who continues to top the
regulars, dropped from his 400 mark
of a week ago to .380. However, he

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23 — From a lowly
bench warmer, awaiting a chance to
slip into the game as a substitute,
to one of the brightest stars in the
National League, Is the remarkable
rise of Hazen Cuyler, youthful out-
field star with the Pirates.
Cuyler today finds himself battling
the famed Rogers Hornsby, second
base star of the Cardinals, for the
batting championship of the league.
He bagged eleven hits in his last five
games, giving him an average of 383
and is trailing twenty-seven points
behind Hornsby, who is topping the
list with .410. Zack Wheat, the
Brooklyn veteran, suffered a slight
slump, dropping into third place with
.366. The averages include games of
Wednesday.
The rise of Cuyler, a rookie from
the Southern League, reads like a page
from baseball fiction. His chance
came by accident when Max Carey,
the Pittsburgh veteran, was injured.
When Carey returned to the game,
Manager McKechnie of. the Pirates
found Cuyler's services indispensible.
His batting, fielding and sparkling
base running was an inspiration to
