6 McKenley Shatters ld's 300 Yard Mark' h ! a1F11 - ,. 1 t F DAILY Coach Praises Barclay, Courtright For Play in Collegiate Golf Tourney r ov wi Lennart Strand Runs Season's Fastest Mile; Quinn Defeats MacMitchell for Second Place By The Associated Press NEW YORK, July 2-A few min- utes after Herb McKenley of the University of Illinois had bettered the world record for 300 yards, Len- nart Strand of Sweden ended his present U.S. campaign by winning the invitation mile at a streamlined twilight track meet this evening at Randalls Island Stadium. Strand finished sixty yards in front of Thomas Quinn of the New York A.C., who was celebrating his discharge today from the U.S. Navy. The time was 4:09. McKenley burst from his holes in the 300 a full stride ahead of his Tigers Drop To White Sox main rival, Elmore Harris and hit the tape six feet in front of the Shore A.C. runner in 29.8 seconds, shaving four tenths of a second off the mark the late Charles Paddock set at Redlands, Calif., on April 23, 1941. Second World Record . The Illini runner established a world mark for the 440 yard run at the Big Ten last month but was de- feated by Harris at last week's Na- tional A.A.U. festival in San An- tonio at 400 meters. Leslie MacMitchell, one-time New York University great, led through the first quarter of the mile and then turned the pace-making duties over to Ed Walsh, Jr., who held it until Strandboundedin front 660 yards from home as the 2,500 spectators cheered. Fractional times for the mile, fast- est on American cinders this year, were :63.8, 2:06.2, 3:08.9. Walsh was a full 30 yards behind Quinn while MacMitchell pounded home another 30 yards in the rear. A nasal condition interfered with his breathing in the latter half of the jaunt. Watson's Record Broken Arnard Mayer of the New York Pioneer Club, triumphed in a shot put derby in which a trio of con- testants fired a 16-pound shot with one hand and then with two before trying their muscles with a 12-pound and an eight-pound ball. In the latter event Mayer surpas- sed the listed American record with a toss of 71 feet 7 % inches. The old mark, 70 feet, % inch, was set July 17, 1938 by William Watson of Michi- gan. Navy Discharges Birdsall Coach Bill Barclay, Wolverine golf mentor, declared yesterday that he "felt pretty pleased" with the show- ing of the Michigan linksmen in the National Collegiates last week-end, and particularly praised Dave Bar- clay and Bill Courtright. Dave carded the lowest Wolverine score for the team play, an excellent 147, and went on to chalk up a 307 for the total 72 holes. In addition to his low scores, Bar- clay provided two of biggest high- lights of the tourney as far as Michi- gan was concerned. On the second day of play he was the third Wolver- ine golfer to tee off. When the first two men had finished nine holes he started with a great deal of pres- sure resting on him because his team- mates hadn't yet warmed into good form and things looked a little gray. Barclay proceeded to make the Wolverinehpicture much brighter, coming through with a cheering 72 for his eighteen holes. Coach Barclay said that this exhibition was one of the best examples of pressure-play- ing he saw in the entire tourney. * * * ROOKIE! Track Veteran Bob Tho mason Again, on the last day of the team play, Barclay did some sparkling pressure-playing. A rainstorm caught him during the latter part of the course, but when he came to the eighteenth hole he was informed by With the thought in his miid that a tie rested on this final putt, he over- came the pressure and sank it for his 4. Coach Barclay also cited an out- standing performance by Courtright. Courtright followed Barclay on the second day of the play when the lat- ter had come through with his 72 to rally Michigan's hopes. Knowing that it was up to him to carry on the rally, he came back from a nervous 41 for the first nine holes to shoot the final nine in a blistering 35 and finish. one under par. Yanks QualHify- In British Open ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, July 2- M r-Two rounds of qualifying play in the British 'Open Golf Tournament ended tonight with the favored Brit- ish and American players still in the field, but none burning up the courses enough to single him out as "the man to beat." Four American professionals en- ter the championship rounds to- morrow with comfortable qualifying totals and a showing so far that labels them still a big threat to the men from the British Empire. Sam Snead scored* 74-75-149; Johnny Bulla, 77-74--151; Lawson Little, 76-75-151; and Joe Kirk- wood, 74-78--152. Par for each of the two courses over which the qual- ifying rounds were played is 73.

I By The Associated Press DETROIT, July 2-The Chicago White Sox cracked a Briggs Stadium jinx today by slugging out 16 hits off four Detroit pitchers to nose out the Tigers 8 to 7 for their first victory here this season. Hank Greenberg clouted his 20th home run with a man on base in the first inning and drove in four runs with three hits but committed a costly error that led to what ulti- mately was Chicago's winning run in the seventh. The Sox piled up a 7-2 margin in the first four innings with the aid of Taft Wright's two-run homer off Tommy Bridges and counted an un- earned run off Johnny Gorsica in the seventh on Greenberg's error and successive hits by Wally Moses and Luke Appling. Jimmy Bloodworth homered in the fourth for Detroit with the bases empty. * .* * Enlists in Army' Bob Thomason, one of Track Coach Ken Doherty's ace distance men, joined the Army June 28th, it was learned today. He had enlisted several weeks ago but was not called to report until he had finished the term. Thomason signed for an eighteen month period of enlistment. The former thinclad has been a mainstay of Michigan's track teams for the past two years. He came to the Wolverines after a brilliant prep school career in Asbury Park, N.J., and, due to wartime rules, became the youngest man ever to run for the varsity. He was seventeen during his first year, 1945. Thomason helped Michigan edge out Illinois for the indoor crown in 1945 with a fourth in the half-mile and a tie for third in the mile. That was the week-end when Wolverine runners slammed all five places in the latter event for the first time in track history. In the outdoor conference meet of the same year, Thomason finished fourth in the mile behind the Hume twins and Walter Fairervis. He went on to grab a fifth in the National Collegiates. This past season Thomason took third in the indoor conference mile, finishing just seven yards behind Ohio's Bill Clifford, the winner, and just a step behind Bob Hume. Racing Season Extended DETROIT, July 2-(P)-The cur- rent summer race meeting at the Detroit Fair Grounds track was ex- tended to 61 days today by the Detroit Racing Association, which announced at the same time that a 25-day fall meeting would start Aug. 24.
