Baker Wins Decathlon Becomes Top US Hope
Charles Baker, a tall, barrelchested athlete, came from the ranks of the unknown to win the grueling decathlon at the Kansas Relays Friday and Saturday. Baker was competing unattached from Fayetteville, Ark.
Baker, in sixth place after the completion of the first five events Friday, put on a blazing finish to edge out Irvin Mondschein, New York university's three time national A.A.U. champion, who placed second with a total of 6,667. Baker's total was 6,730.
By winning the event Baker gained a place on the United States Olympic team. The tall Arkansas star moved about the track with sureness and calmness as he won the pole vault at 12 feet 4% inches, the javelin at 178 feet 3 inches, the discus at 136 feet 5 inches, and placed second in the 110-meter dash. Baker placed a poor ninth in the final event, the 1,500-meter run, but he had already built up too big a lead for Mondschein to overcome.
Baker said that he had no future plans as to his athletic participation and therefore is expected to become a member of the American Olympic team that will travel to Europe this summer. Jack McEwen, University of Colorado defending champion, dropped out after the eighth event, but still had enough points to place eleventh.
Third place went to James Roberson, Negro from the University of Indiana, and fourth place went to Oklahoma's Bill Weaver. Weaver ran the 1,500-meter run in 4:36.5 which was by far the best in the decathlon.
