EUROPEAN ATHLETICS MEET ENDS YANKEES INCREASE

Marathon, High Jump Finals Eclipse Hewson's Great 1,500-Metre Performance

By V. V. KOLATCHOFF

Stockholm, Aug. 24.

Brian Howson's victory in the 1,500 metros run final should have boon the highlight of today, the sixth and final day's programme in the European Athletic Championships here but the spotlight was taken away from Hewson's great performance by two even greator ones.

Sergei Popov, a 26-year-old electro-mechanic from Irkutsk ran away from one of the finest marathon fields ever assembled and the hot pace he put up proved too much for Alain Mimoun and Franjo Minalic, winner and runner-up res- pectively at the last Olympic Games at Melbourne, neither of whom finished.

LEAD TO 12 GAMES Share Doubleheader With Tigers

New York, Aug. 24. Hank Lary defeated the New York Yankees for the ninth time this season today in the opener of a doubleheader, 8-3, in Yankee Stadium but the Bronx Bombers beat the Detroit Tigers, 3-2, in the nightcap to increase their American League lead to 12 games.

The game-winning homer from Siebern in the ninth inning of the nightcap was his second of the day and 12th of the season. It came on the first pitch of the inning by Herb Moford, who hadn't allowed a hit since the first inning.
