P. J. Mulqueen, president of the Ca- nadian Olympic committee, said: “The Canadian Olympic officlals have no uarrel with™ the American officials. ne American officlal offensively played to the gallery, but we do not hold all American officials responsible for his conduct. The rough ride the Cana- dians have recelved in these games must necessarily raise the question of Canada’s further participation in the Olympic games, this notwithstanding the fact that Canada stands out ath- | Tetically as & result of our successes in the present games.” Some Grievances Cited. Bobby Robinson, manager of the Ca- nadian team, gave the following state- ment: “Canadian officials deeply resent the manner in which the Olympic games have been conducted. Canadian ath letes have been penalized for violating the rules, while other athletes gel away with violations just as glaring. An American girl who finished second to Jean Thompson of Canada was paced from the head of the home stretch by a teammate wearing a Unit- ed States sweater. Canadian ofcials drew the attention to this violation and were told the offender had been warned not to do it again, The girl's action was a direct violation of the rules and just as glaring an offense as the one causing the disqualification of Oanadians on Tuesday. . “Instances of this kind have aroused Canadians and have created the bellef that some officials are displaying par- tiality. Naturally circumstances of this kind will bring up the fiuuan of Can- ada’s future participation in Olympie games. Bome Canadian officials belleve Canada would be happler in the British Empire games than in the Olympic contests, Opinlons expressed through the press are of course unofficial, no- body having authority to make an of- flelal statement until such a matter has been aired by the Canadian Olympic committee, Have to Find Fiag. “One of the many instances had to do with the ralgog of the Canadian 'ENGLAND WILL SEND TENNIS TEAM TO U. . By the Assoclated Press NEW YORK, August —8eeking to regain the prestige she enjoyed too decades or more ago, England will send a tennis team of four to the United States this month to compete in team matches against America and in the ” American national champlonships, the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tfon announced today. ‘The British team, which is to sail for America_on August 11, will consist of Edward Higgs, ranking No. 1 player; J. Colin Gregory, ranking No. 4. H. W. Austin, the young Cambridge star, and | I G. Vollins, holder of the Scottish singles championsitip in 1926 and 1927. The invaders’' first competition after they arrive in America as now plan- ned will be in a two-day series of team matches against the United States at Forest Hills, September 1 and 3. There is a chance that the British may decide to enter the national doubles championships at Boston, August 27, | although this has not yet been definitely determined. They wil play in the national singles titular events at Forest Hills September 10, and then will leave for a series of matches in Canada. The next stop will be at Los Angeles for team matches on September 28 and 29, and then at San Francisco on October 1 and 2. They will sail from San Prancisco Oc- | tober 3 for a tour of Australia and New Zealand. Entry of the Britishers into the cham- pionships at Forest Hills gave more of an international tinge to that contro- versy than it ever has had before. A French team headed by Henri Cochet and including Jean Borotra, Brugnon, Pierre Boussis and Rene de Buzelet also will be entered, as will the Australian quar- (et of Gerald Patterson, John B. Hawkes, Jack Crawford and H. O. Hopman. There is still a ibility that the French “threat” will be increased by the entry of Rene La Coste, who won the American national singles crown in 1926 and again last year. Lacoste announced he could not make the trip some_time ago, but after his defeat in the Davis Cup finals at Paris by Big Bill Tilden, the French ace intimated that he might change his mind. | puciadupens ol TURNER LOSES ON MA' | | COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 2 (#)— | Jack Reynolds, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, claimant to the world welterweight WILLIAMS REAL FLYER, SAYS BEATEN PADDOCK AMSTERDAM, August 2 (#).— Charley Paddock, who ran his last Olympic race and possibly his last for all time yesterday, paid high tribute 1o Perey Williams, young Canadian winner of both Olympic sprints. “That boy doesn't run—he flies.

Never in two years of hi racing career has Willlams been sent out to run against time by his trainer. | _He always races against some oppo- |'nent with handicaps proportionate to | their relative speeds.
