BIG CONTESTS TODAYSTANDINGS4OC-Meter MiS 5,000-Meter Races Feature Olympic Games*Los Angeles, Aug. 5 (£)—Finland’slast ditch tight to save at least ons*bright jewel out of the wreckageiof its fotractng crown today shared 1 the Olympic spotlight with the third episode of the rivalry between Bill Carr and Ben Eastman, American 400-meter aces.No slackening of the track and field record-breaking carnival was In sight.For five days the ''build-up for today’s two track climaxes has sounded just like the old family phonograph—one record -after another. Anyone who has had forti-twe to keep track of it all can emerge with the statistical gem that 45 record performances have been announced in 1? track and field events for men. and women,The response to announcements of new..records Thursday could have been heard in four different languages. Luigi Beccali won the classic Olympic 1,500 metm in the Olympic record time of 331.2. for Italy's first Olympic foot-racing victory of all time.Mmnfcti Jarvinen led the first successful Finnish thrust with an Olympic record javelin throw of.233 feet, 7 inches.Chuhel Narnbu of Japan, the world record broad jumper, added the hop, steo and jump championship and world crown to his-credit, with a mark of 51 feet, 7 inches.Fin ally, America’s own Mildred Babe Didrikson scampered to her second world record victory, in the 80-meter hurdles, in 11.7 seconds.Finland's first championship in an event which was hers simply for going through the motions of apear-tcwing, won’t be enough to offset her cup of bitterness, If youthful Lauri Lchtinen fails today to take (he 5.000 meters, the. last flat race title that the Finns have a chance to salvage.This Olympiad so far has dealt a stunning series of blows to the foot-racing prestige that Finland developed so sensationally after the war.Meanwhile the Americans had their own private war to settle, between Eastman and Carr, each with a weather eve out meanwhile for the slim Englishman, Lt. (Jodfrey Lionel Rampling,Rampling didn't look so impressive in the trials yesterday, even under wrans. and there has been nothing yet to prove he can touch the record-smashing performances of Carr and Eastman. Englishmen have ,n way of winning foot-races, especially at the middle distances, as witness the great 800-meter victory of Thomas Hampson two days ago.Ciitr has whipped Eastman twice In world record time this season. The majority of observers think he can do it again, even though Eastman seems now to be in better condition than he was in the final tryouts at Palo Alto,Kansan Finishes Fourth.American as well as Finnish hopes were blasted by the withering closing pace of Italy's black-haired little racer, Beccail, in the 1.500 final. The United States sent three of her best college milers to the post, Glen Cunningham of Kansas, Pen Hallowed of Harvard and Frank Crowley of Manhattan, but1 they wound up fourth, sixth and eighth, respectively, in a field of 12.Cunningham wilted on the back-stretch of the first lap after helping set a fast pace. He was passed first by Phil Edwards of Canada, then by Beccali and Jerry Cornea, the British champion, who finished second.Despite Babe Didrikson's world record victory over her American rival, Evelyn Hall, in the 80-meter hurdles, the fifth day of the Olympic track and field championships vas a big let-down for the tTnitcd States forces, which had completely dominated the previous day’s pro* rram.The revised total for the United States, for 16 men's events in five iays, was 158 points. Finland moved into second place, with 35 to Great Britain’s 34, and Japan advanced to fourth position with 28, followed by Canada and Ireland, 13 each.In the w-r.mr.v division, mean-'•'hjle.

The Keed came into possession of the junior lightweight title sometime since, but no belt was nis until Gen. John V. Clinnin fastened one about him in the Chicago stadium last night, after he had belted Eddie Shea, Chicago Italian, all about the ring to win a 10-round decision in defense of the title. His last bout resulted in a widely disputed decision defeat by Jackie ”Kid’’ Berg, in New York.wrow COUNTYPRODUCERS ASSOCIATIONffrfnfwlij utd S»tirii* MorafoftVegetable*, Fruit, Poultry Dairy Product* and Pastriesh«inththIkfo8!“IstRSclfainECinuiG5CInftttattrn!G1*t By The AKixlated Prem(Including yesterday’s game*) Nai’otial League Batting: Hurst.
