And this is touching on the form of the two-year-old allies that made up the field in the Clover Stakes, $6,200 net, distance five furlongs, at the Aqueduct track yesterday. On the showing made by Keep On, Erin and Conclave these Allies appeared to have Murky Cloud tucked away in lover.

but rain halted this when each player had won a set. On Wednesday Bowman, had won the first T- from Adams, 61, and they were tied In the second, 6 all, when darkness forced them to give it up for the day. Yesterday after Adams had won a game on his own service Bowman smashed through to rattle off three games in suces-sion, winning the set, 87. Fire Doubles Matches. Five matches were recorded in the doubles championship tournament.

The metropolitan clay court championship team of Morton Bernstein and Sidney Adelstein drew a first -round bye, but in the second round match they defeated C. R. Watkins and S. T. Osgood, 60, 63.

MURPHY realizes tha't he will face stiffer competition when he gets into college, and, in view ot that fact, fools' around In the weight events to build up his physique so that he will be able to stand the gaff. Aside from the P.6.A.L running broad jump title and indoor 220-yard crown, the Green and White greyhound is also the possessor of the national 220-yard and 70-yard indoor championships.

In other words, he has closed his brilliant scholastic career in a Maze of glory and has hung up an enviable record in doing so. Started Athletic Career At Public School 89. Mike, who is known to his friends as "AL" is an auburn-haired lad with a pair of clear gray eyes and a determined jaw. He Is of the aggressive type who gives his best when pressed the hardest. He has rare courage, quitting having no piace in rus makeup.

The New Utrecht star launched his athletic career at P. S. 89 and augmented it at P. S. 186 as a high Jumper and sprinter before he came under the wing of the "Miracle Man," aa Coach Hyman Is known.

For four years he has been a val- uaoie asset to New Utrecht. He started his climb to fame as a freshman with the second 120-pound relay quartet which met with mediocre success, the first combination, witn ira Singer as the star, winning and breaking records with monoto nous regularity. As a sophomore, ha graduated to tne 220-yard Junior spruits and placed regularly both indoors and outdoors. He finally came Into his own when he won the a. 1j.

title the novice meet with a leap of 21 feet and carried on to win his first major title ine senior championships a week later with a lesser mark of 19 feet. 11 1-2 inches. In his Junior year, he reallv be gan to amount to something as a sprinter, placing second to his teammate, Al Lakow, in the 220-yard dash at the P. S. A.

L. indoor championships. A week or so later he turned the tables on Lakow to establish a new record of 23 3-5 seo-onds and the best time recorded In the Metropolitan district for a schoolboy up to that time. However, he was rather inconsistent, winning only occasionally, but usually placing second. He was also competing with the 1,200 and 880-yard relay teams which scored regularly and attended to the matter of setting records with remarkable consistency.

Beats Jones Twice At 220 Yards. When the outdoor campaign of 1928 rolled around, Mike contributed a yeoman's share toward giving New Utrecht the 440-yard sprint relay title over Mercersburg Academy, in one of the most thrilling races ever seep in the Penn Relays. The time was exceptionally fast, considering the muddy condition of the track. Later on he won the hop, step and Jump at the development meet described above and the following day took the Eastern lnterscholastlc broad Jump title with a distance of 22 feet, 5 inches. Mike crowded a lot of startling performances Into this, his last year.

Of course, his crowning effort was winning the P. 8. A. L. indoor 220-yard title In world's record time.

Indoors ha defeated Jones regularly and repeated In the national indoor championships In Newark, when he also won the 70-yard diadem. Scor liiiiiii 'I 15 el lege star Joe Resnick, Brooklyn Law School ace and. defending champion; Jack Cohen, former N. Y. U.

championships when he won the running broad Jump title for the thinl successive year and in so doing set a new P. S. A. L. record of 23 feet Inch, an astonishing performance for a schoolboy.

Breaking Records Becomes a Habit. Shattering records Is not a newly acquired fad with Mike. It is old stuff. In annexing the P. S.

A. L. city Indoor 220-yard diadem last winter he defeated Howard Jones of Erasmus Hall, who narrowly missed making the Olympie team in imu. by the substantial margin of four yards and was clocked in 23 2-5 sfiennds for a new world's inter- scholastlc mark. He was one second slower than Loren Murchlson'8 worlds standard of 2Z2-S seconds.

In breasting the tape a- victor In the 75-yard dash at the St. John's indoor meet last winter, the Green and White flyer's time ot eight tpmniis flat was one-fifth of a second shy of the world's best time, hPid inlntlv bv "Hank" Russell of Cornell and Jack Elder of Notre Dame. Mike is more versatile than is generally known because he has been held in restraint. He is a one-man team in himself, if he was permitted to capitalize on nis hirtnn. He Is not only one ot the country's best scholastic sprinters and broad jumpers but a general genius.

He is a dependable shot putter and discus thrower ana tne outstanding hiu'dler Javelin thrower and hop, step and Jump performer of the New Utrecht team. The last two events do not appear on me P. A. L. program, but Mike may he heard from when he comes under the jurisdiction ot the venerable Lawyon Robertson et the Uni-verslty of Pennsylvania next Sep- tember.

Injury to Knee Kills Olympic Chances. But for an iniurv received In one of the meets to develop talent for the Olvmoio team last summer: Andursky might have been a mem ber of the track and field celebrities who carried Uncle Sam's emblem into action in Amsterdam. Trying the hop, step and jump for the first time in his career In a development meet at Governors Island, the idol of tho Bensonhurst institution did 45 feet 7 inches, or one inch shy of qualifying for the Olympic However, he wouldn't have been able to compete, for in the tryouts he injured his heels and wouldn't nave oeen RDie to ao justice to himself In his Incapacitated condition. Coach Barney Hyman of tne New Utrecht team has been compelled to kpeD a fatherly surveillance over Andursky. for fear that the boy would let his energy get the better of him and overdo his athletics to the extent of burning himself out.

If uermitted. Mike would compete In every event In which he capable of giving a good account of himself. But ie P. S. A.

I rules specifically state that a boy shall be limited to one track event and two field features in Impressive Both on Track and Field. Mike is capable of stepping the low and high hurdles faster than anv one on the New utrecnt team does 46 feet consistently In the 12-Dound shot nut. heaves the discus no feet and hurls the Javelin 150 feet, exceptionally fine distances for a lad who Is supposed to be exclusively a sprinter and broad Jumper. Andursky has been favorintr en Injury to his right knee suffered shortly after the Penn Relays April, "and but for that fact might have been a dual victor on Saturday with another decision over Howard Jones in the furlong sprint. Incidentally, Jones also was credited with a new record tor the iprlnt of 214-5 seconds.

The sensational Mike, who lias aroused country-wide Interest by his feat on Saturday, had planned to try his skill In the shot put in which his team had won the first three places. Tardiness in reaching the KCf ne of his record-breaking achievement deprived him of this opportunity and nearly cost him his broad jump title. Mike put In Ms appearance 45 minutes after the shot put had been decided and showed up ot the Jumplne pit Just In time to get In a single qualifying leap. It was on his last Jump In the finals that he established his new mark. Andursky Is a sensible lad who grad and one of the pillars of tennis in the local area, teamed with Martin Buxby, the junior champion of Florida, but this combination of experience and speed lost out in a lengthy tussle with Elliot Binzen and Frank Bonneau, who won, 62, 7 5.

Rockafellow and Travers Le Gros scored on a default by Edward Everitt and E. Rogers, while Edgar Dawson and E. W. Feihleman downed G. V.

Little- and M. Havi-land, 60, 61. ing' the double victory was a remarkable feat In itself, as both events came in close proximity and necessitated the running of several heats. Capturing the 75-yard dash, in one-fifth of a second slower than the world's indoor standard for the distance was also a feat that was not to be sneered at. When the recently closed outdoor season got under way Mike was in the very pink of condition.

He ran a stunning leg on the 440-yard sprint relay team which placed sec- nrH fflrppfohnor sirVi yhxtavaaA the order of things of the previous year by the scant margin of one-fifth of a second. The event was run in heats with the best time counting. Injury to Knee Kept Him Out of Competition. About a week later Mike was playing baseball with some of his pals in a neighboring lot and in stooping to seize a grounder dislocated a cartilage in his right knee, which has really never properly healed. It was responsible for this boy remaining out of all succeeding outdoor meets.

He remained out 'Of action so long In favoring the injured member that he could not get back In shape in time to toe the mark in the 220-yard sprint and passed it up for the broad. Jump. The knee bothered him somewhat but not enough to Impair his chances of retaining the title he had held the two previous years. In 1928, on a rain-soaked field and with a strong wind blowing against him, Andursky did 22 feet Inches. A slight wind hampered him again this season and but for the poor condition of the Jumping pit might have approached the 24-foot mark.

He gave up his activities as a hurdler because he found tiiet It was slowing him up for the sprints. In the Junior metropolitan championships last summer the boy missed first place in the hop, step and Jump by the small margin of one-eighth of an inch and was nosed out for first place in the broad Jump by one-quarter of an Inch. Thus ends the tale of one of the greatest schoolboy athletes In the history-of track and field in the metropolitan district. Wii" 'Wl'Wmill inpiajaup vVhitney's chestnut filly, by Mad Hatter Meadow Mist, proved her urwriority at least in this race ay ueating Keep On, Erin and Con- clave. Murky Cloud's Silver Lirinj.

It was a race in which the layers scored heavily. Murky Cloud had a silver lining for the men of the odds. In fact she was the rainbow of promise to them. She was practically unbacked at odds or 10 to 1. She drifted back in the prices from 6 to 1 because very few of the track patrons backed her.

The big support was for Erin. This despite the fact that she was carrying 122 pounds, was conceding 15 pounds to Keep On and 10 pounds to Murky Cloud. Keep On was the early favorite. She was coupled In the betting with Conclave, her stablemate, which on Thursday, June 13. a week aeo, beat out Murky Cloud by more than a length and a half but was subsequently disqualified.

In the race yesterday Conclave was beaten severtil lengths by the daughter of Mad Hatter. The Coe pair opened favorites at 6 to 5 and Erin at 2 to 1. But Erin was backed down to 3 to 2 and the Coe entry receded to similar odds. There was some support for Dixie Dreamer and Pansy Walker, the Three D-s Stock Farm pair. Keep On and Murky Cloud with Pansy Walker well up were the leading trio during the first three fur-lories.

Erin was cut off just before the'elbow was reached, and by the time half the distance was run she was far back. Keep On continued to show the way till halfway down the homestretch when Murky Cloud, under the whip, stood the strain the better and won by half a length. Erin closed a big gap and was at the hip of Keep On passing the Erin made up many lengths in the final part of the struggle but her challenge came too late. Dais's Close Turn Proves Profitable. It seems the fate of W.

R. Cpe's racing fortunes to miss the prizes he is eager to have his horses win this in the majority of startsand to nip victories that are not so profitable nor noted. Such was the case in the fifth race, a mile dash for maiden three-year-olds. After losing the big prize of the day with Keen On, Dail, carrying the green, white and polka doU of Mr. Coe, beat out George H.

Bull's Wood God a short head in a driving finish. The fortunes of the "break' at the start did much to decide the triumph of Dail. Merry Andrew beat the barrier with Wood God second. They were soon open daylight in front of their field. But before the turn out of tl.e backstretch Dail moved up along the rail and joined Wood God.

They dogged the steps of the pacemaker until nearing the turn for home. i At that stage of the race McAtee on Wood God made the move that brought about the defeat of the son of Pandion. which was the favorite of the race. McAtee moved Wood God ur on the outside. Yates on Merrv Andrew carried him wide turning for home.

Inzelone slipped Dail through the gap between Merry Andrew and the rail. Wood God and Dail shook off Merrv Andrew when straightened out for home. This pair, side by side, raced down ths stretch with Dail having a slight advantage an advantage he had gained on the turn for home. McAtee rode a better finish than Inzelone. who, as usual, had his lines flopping on the neck of his mount.

But in spite of McAtee's efforts the ground he had lost on the turn proved such a severe handicap that Dail won by a head. Electa, as usual, broke slowly, closed up four or five lengths and finished third, two lengths behind Wood Qcd. Recitation Beats Joe Marrone 3d. Recreation, which likes a soft fop found the going at Aqueduct to her fancy and with US pounds up and Jockey Fields In the saddle 1 -on the Ladkin Claiming Handicap after stepping the mile in 1:39 one of the lastest races of the meeting to date. Joe Marrone 3d was the favorite, with Recreation and Bpear Rock second and third choices, respective ly.

Eut the bulk of the bets was placed on Joe Marrone. This de spile the fact that Ellis, a none too able or quick-witted Jockey, had the leg up. The liat time that Joe Marrone started he won but tjteve O'Donnell was his pilot on that ocraslou. Fields got Recreation away well at the start and that helped in ereat measure toward her success. She likes to race next the rail.

Ratlnj her speed nicely. Fields had an i-dvantage of open daylight in the strrtch. Joe Marrone made a good challenge but the daughter Of Span lsh Pnnre always had the foot ot him and beat him out by two lngths. Spear Rock, which was beaten off in his previous start. Improved a great deal over that showing but not enough to win and finished a last going third.

June 21 Society turned out In gala array for the opening day of the ninth annual Huntington Horse Show at the Huntington Bay Club, here yesterday.

If was one of the most successful opening days in the history of the show. Weather conditions were ideal and competition exceedingly keen. The entry of Bernard F. Gimbel scored four splendid victories in the showings yesterday, winning the feature event of the day and generally monopolizing the chief honors. Gimbel scored with two horses.

His Elegance and Captain Doane, both chestnut geldings. Captain Doane scored his first victory in the Sturgis Cup, the feature event of the day. The Sturgis Cup is presented by the Jockey Club Breeding Bureau for the best stallion, mare or gelding, three years old or over, sired by a stallion which is the property of the Jockey Club. The competitors were shown in band and Captain Doane triumphed over Mrs. ijouis J.

ueMilhau speedy Princess. Jere R. Collins" Spalpeen took the yellow rosette. The Gimbel gelding took his sec ond blue rosette in the class for thoroughbred hunters where conformation counted for 50 percent. Here Captain Doane was hardest pressed by the Warfield Farm's en tries Jack Pot and Prince Charming.

Jack Pot was finally awarded the red rosette over hia stable mate. His Elegance Tops Captain Doane. His Elegance, a three-year-old, triumphed in the class of that age suitable to become hunters. Here the Gimbel entries had an easy time capturing the first two prizes. His Elegance, by St.

Henry Refinement, standing 16 hands, made a splendid showing and received the blue rosette over Captain Doane. His Elegance further proved into what a superb hunter he mav develop by capturing the blue in Class 68, another event for horses suitable to become hunters that included a test of four jumps over hurdles three and a hair feet high. Here the Gimbel entry triumphed over Regular Laughter, owned by Mrs, Francis P. Garvan. Double victories were scored by two other exhibitors, Mrs.

John Tupper Cole, formerly of Brooklyn, and Miss Elizabeth Greve. Mrs. Cole won with Cherokee Princess in the event for mares, suitable to produce saddle horses, and won out over Charles F. Hubbs' Just You. Mrs.

Cole won her second blue with My Love, In an event for saddle horses, over William Boardman's the Black Watch. Miss Greve's victories came with Prudence and Monty Boy. Monty Boy was the only competitor in his class for saddle horses, four years' old and under, shown in saddle, when Golden Girl, owned by John H. Stone, and World's Best, owned by W. H.

By ARTHUR F. JONES Jr. Although the fact is usually submerged in a flood of wordage on other sports, one of the greatest seasons the history of American polo is taking place right on Long Island. It is true that no visiting international fours are due here for formal combat this season, but that is the very reason why the domestic season Is so good. For two years the United States has been in the throes of international preparation and combat.

This year that yoke has been thrown off, and large entries of excellent teams are waging serious battb for cups and championships. Not tha, the game yesterday. In which the Long Island team defeated Del Ray, 12 to 8, can be taken as any criterion. That was just a passably good workout for the Lonu Islanders. They spotted the opposition five goals, the difference in the handicaps, and then proceeded to burn up the field.

But that game is probably one of the most one-sided affairs to be found in the divw. The others should be much closer. The contest at the Meadow Brook Club yesterday was the first In the tourney to. decide the highly prized Meadow Brook cups. There are eleven teams in this event, and before the fina.

goal is shot, there should Uo S'ime thrilling polo. Billy Post Stars. Even in such a runaway, there were point oi interest. One of these was the play ot young Billy Post, the Princeton freshman who gained fame last year' with that sagest ot young teams, Old Aiken. Post Mas the makings of an internationalist, although there Is still plenty cf time for such thoughts.

He is rated at four goals this year, and it is no wild guesr to say that he will gain evei higher ranking before the season is over. There is also the possibility the young Post will accede to the niche occupied in Princeton polo by the giant Arthur Borden. Post wjs rampant on the willow yesterday, scoring five goals during the course ot the fraca He opened the scoring with two in the first, counted once in the fourth, and twice In the sixth chukker. Post showed clean mastery of the mallet, the lack of which has stopped many promising players. Incidentally, only players who have been at the game mce childhood really get the feel of a polo mallet.

That is why Tommy Hitchcock Is such an outstanding star. He can do things with the mallet that few others would even attempt. Another bright spot In the game was the grean playing of George Pope, tne Callfornian. He landed four of his teams goals, and was a large contributor to the liveliness shown by his side of Long Island players. Del Ray's Earned Goal.

Although the Del Ray players officially scored three goals, only one was the result of a run, the others being penalty shots. The "earned" goal was made by Townsend Martin, the 1 man. Incidentally, the other members of the side Included Bradley Martin, Terence Prcece, and Oodlrey Preece. The Long Island outfit: had Pope, Post, Bill JackRon, former Princeton captain, and Gerald Dctr.pscy. More pc'J 1- scheduled for today, and it course, there will be some tomorrow.

IrsMiiis tut working boys, IN POLOTOURNEY mm mmrs ira FREDERICK L.

JOHANNS, of 216 Columbia Heights, formerly pf Poly Prep, has- been awarded a varsity for competing with the Hun Preparatory School of Princeton in track this spring. It is the second such honor conferred on the Brooklyn boy. He received his ilrst insignia last fall for playing a ste.lar and consistent game as tackle on the football eleven. With the llu.i track team this spring, Johanns made an enviable record in the field evenU. He scored a number of impressive victories in the low hurdles, shot p'-t and hammer throw events.

In addition he was a valuable member of the' wjII balanced relay team. Fred was also a dependable lad in football and track at Poly ohanns. Prep.
