...only satisfaction that the season has given Philadelphia's old Connie Mack is that his 27-year-old outfielder, Bob Johnson, with 24 home-runs was last week leading both leagues. Jimmy Foxx, who totaled 58 homeruns in 1932, was three behind Johnson. Babe Ruth last week hit the 698th homerun of his career (excluding World Series and exhibition games), with three men on base, in a game against the White Sox, bringing his total to 12 for this year, 14 behind his record year (1927). Lou Gehrig of the Yankees, who was expected to be leading homerun hitter...
Bonthron's head suddenly began to bob more quickly. In 30 yd. around the last turn, he gained 7 yd. Down the home stretch he made up the distance more slowly, a yard at a time. Twenty yards from the tape, the two men were abreast. Ten yards farther on, Bonthron was almost 2 ft. ahead. He turned his head to look at Cunningham, then broke the tape with a world's record...
...pitching the Indians will again depend on their lone star performer Bob Miller, who has just made an agreement to join the Yankees as soon as he has finished hurling for the Green. Fred Mitchell's choice to oppose him is still a dark mystery. Aside from the Crimson's pitching problem both lineups will be exactly the same as those that started last Saturday. Phil Clark will lead off the Green attack at 3 o'clock
...pennant winner most of this season, and this is going to be a pretty tough assignment. The Green is in somewhat the same boat as Harvard. Both teams have only one Grade A experienced pitcher. Here at Cambridge it's Captain Eddie Loughlin; up at Hanover it's Bob Miller, the fellow who took both halves of a doubleheader from Pennsylvania last week. With Miller carrying most of the assignment Dartmouth has turned in a dangerous record lately. Outside the League they've taken colleges like Swarthmore and Wesleyan, while in League games they lost a pair to Columbia...
...spectacular firsts-Blackman's in the 400-meter run, Klopstock's in the 200-meter hurdles-gave Stanford the bulk of her points, 35¼, for the title, to Yale's 25½. California's five-man team was third with 20. Two firsts by Bob Kiesel (100-meter and 200-meter sprints), piled up half of California's score. ¶ Only man beside Kiesel to win two firsts was Princeton's famed Bill Bonthron. He won the 1,500-meter run easily, with Penn's Venzke second. In the 800-meter race...
