Last year, Harvard won all the places in the Holy Cross meet except one. A great battle is expected between Arthur Pier '35, who came in second in 1932, and Edward Kenney of Holy Cross who placed fourth in the same race. Any one, of the ten crack Harvard harriers, however, may be the winner. Beside Pier, Harvard bases its hopes on Captain James Parton '34, John Scheu '35, and other outstanding individuals. Huey Decrees New York 3 Washington...
...ninth inning, with the score 2 to 1 in favor of the Washington Senators, with two out and the tying run on base, Oscar Melillo of the St. Louis Browns lifted a long fly to left field. Heinie Manush, Washington's fielder, started with the crack of the bat. He dived forward near the wall, rolled over on the turf, came up without his cap but with the ball gripped tightly in his glove, a brilliant catch that ended the game and, statistically, the astonishing major league baseball season...
...performed brilliantly earlier in the season, recently lost control. His wild pitches broke the wrists of Boston Outfielder Randy Moore and Chicago Infielder Stanley Hack. A harder hitting team and, man for man, more impressive on the strength of batting and fielding averages, the Senators this year developed a crack centre fielder, Fred Schulte, to replace Sam West whom Owner Clark Griffith surprisingly traded last spring. Their young first baseman, Joe Kuhel, is a hard hitter and usually a good base-runner though he nearly delayed the Senators' pennant-clinching last week by falling asleep on third base...
...soaring. The meet was rated a success because it marked the establishment of a permanent meteorologi- cal station at Elmira and because a large number of novices earned primary soaring certificates. But the tedious days of inactivity, punctuated by windy speech-making on the part of local boosters, made crack glider pilots wonder why Elmira should be the only soaring site in the East. One who wondered was Richard Chichester du Pont. Last week he did something about it. Richard du Pont, 24, blond and clean-cut, is the younger son of Vice President Alexis Felix du Pont...
...smiling, chatted for ten minutes, while Perry went to change his flannels for ducks that would flap less in the wind. With a crowd to watch him, Perry, like Borotra, gives an impression of being debonair, lighthearted, only incidentally concerned with winning. In reality, even more than most crack players, he is deadly serious about tennis. Determined to win one important championship in 1933, he had trained a whole year for last week's final. Crawford, despite his sturdy appearance, was last week suffering from the poor condition which has been widespread among top tennis players...
