eJULI 11, 192 c THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES Americas Formidable 1928 Olympic Team Sails for Amsterdam 268 Star Athletes on Board S. S. President Roosevelt. GAMES START JULY 29 Numerous Record Holders Included on Squad. Bu United Press NEW YORK, July 11.—An army Os men and women boarded the S. S. President Roosevelt today intent on conquering the world athletically at the 1928 Olympic games which begin in Amsterdam July 29. There were 268 persons in this modern United States expeditionary force from petite and sun bronzed girl swimmers on up to the veterans to whom Olympic games are but another contest. It is by far the strongest team the United States has ever sent to the Olympiad. There are numerous world record holders in the group aboard the President Roosevelt. Frank Wykoff, the 18-year-old Californian, ran 100 meters four times in record time one afternoon; Ray Hahn, the Ne- braskan, dashed off 800 meters at Cambridge last week in new record time; Eddie Hamm of Georgia holds the record for the broad jump; Lee Barnes and Sabfci Carr, the vaulters, have equaled the record, and so on. The husky field men all are capable of record-breaking performances. There is a girl’s track and field team of 19 members, the first women’s track team ever sent by the United States to the game. There also is a women’s. swimming team. The California eight-oared crew, Poughkeepsie champions, will de- fend the honors won by Yale in 1924, while the Harvard four-oared team also was aboard today.

Buster Brown, St. Louis lightweight, won an edge over Tommy Crowley of Pittsburgh, in a dull and uninteresting ten round bout at Ft. Harrison Tuesday night. It was the feature presentation of a “fair- to-middling” show and developed into the worst scrap of the evening. Big League Stuff Jack Hendricks’ Cincinnati Reds scored their seventh straight victory Tuesday and advanced to second place in the National League as the Giants bowed to the Cards. The Reds swamped the Brooklyn Dod- gers, 12 to 4. The Cards staged a home run fest at the expense of Joe Genewich, downing the Giants, 5 to 1. The Giants dropped to third in the rs.ee. Andy High hit two for the loop, Chick Hafey, one, and Harper, one. Cuyler’s double, a pair of walks and Hartnett’s single in the last of the ninth gave the Chicago Cubs a 7 to 6 triumph over Roger Horns- by's Boston Braves. Hornsby tied the count in the first of the ninth with a homer. The Pittsburgh Pirates came from be- hind in the last of the ninth to score the tying and winning runs over the Phila- delhia Nats, 6 to 5. Lloyd, and. Paul AVaner smashed out the timely hits which scored the decisive runs. The Pirates have won four straight. The Washington Senators plas- tered a double defeat on Roger Peckinpaugh’s Cleveland Indians, 9 to 5 and 9 to 0. Bruce Caldwall, former Yale football and baseball star, subbed for Fonseca at first base in the second game. The new Clevelander got one hit in three times up and handled four chances Spalding’s one-handed snare of Caldwell’s drive in the ninth ap- parently robbed Bruce of a long hit. St. Louis Browns dropped the fighting Boston Red Sox, 4 to 2, in the series opener. Frank O’Rourke drove in three of the Browns' runs and scored the other himself. A. B.

The Pittburgher was op top of Brown all the time but was a total loss when he came to the point of landing blows. Brown landed several stiff wallops during the bout but stopped after one punch and was satisfied to take Tommy’s leads on his arms and shoulders. Brown is a good defen- sive fighter, as is Crowley, and both were interested too much in avoid- ing blows to give much action. Mickey O’Dowd of Muncie out- pointed Billy Cecil of Louisville in the eight-round semi-windup, the night’s best fight. Both boys were in good shape and there was a lot of interesting milling. O’Dowd start- ed piling up a lot of points in the last three rounds. Kid Kauffman of Louisville, shaded Billy Moore, Indianapolis, in six rounds. Kaufman scored the only knockdown in the first. Moore did not take a count, howtwer. Pat McQueese, Louisville, turned out to be a clown fighter. He did little but stick his chin out for Johnny Murphy, veteran Indian- apolis pug, to take punches at. Johnny missed a lot but also landed a good many. He was so far ahead of McQueese there was little use keeping tab on the bout. Jimmy O’Brien of Owensboro, Ky., had the slightest of edges over Joe Levy of Indianapolis in the four- round opeper. Billy Atkinson, of San Francisco, is to meet Red Uhlan, also of the Pacific Coast, in the feature bout next Tuesday night. Uhlan has ap- peared here several times. Comes in Handy for Yankees LLA li) ALTHOUGH he adorns the bench for the New York Yankees most of the year, Bennie Paschal has the satisfaction of knowing he is with the best baseball club in the world and good enough to play regularly with most major league clubs If he wasn't with the Yanks. He does a lot of pinch batting for the Yanks and his mark around .330 has the respect of the rival hurlers.
