¥ - ) SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, ATHLETES T0 HAVE COMPLETE VILLAGE Stadium Enlarged to Handle 110.000—School, College | Equipment Available. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 9.—This city is busily at work in preparation for the gaies of the tenth Olympiad, to take place herc in 1932, A complete Olympic village, to house the *thousands of competitors, will be bu: the O npic Stadium has been e ed to 110,000 capacity, a $100.000 pcol is Poing built and the athletic equipmcat of approximately 50 high schools and a_half dozen colleges and universities will be available. The tremendous task of setting the gtage for any Olympic games devolves | upon what is known as an Organizing Committee. In small countrics, such as the Netherlands, where the 1928 games were held, it :s possible for the National Olympic Commitiee to take over this function. Howover, in the United States. where the majority of the mem- bers of the National Olympic Commit- tee are from the East, and consequently not familiar with conditions at the site of the games, zn Organizing Committee 1s appointed. When the 1932 games were awarded | to Los Angeles. the first move was that | of selecting an efficient Organizing | Committee, " This community was for- tunate in having already formed and in action a croup that could cope suc- | cessfully with the problems sure to| arise. This was the Community Devel- opment Ascaciation, formed ~several | years previously to erect and maintain | the Los Angeles Coliseum. Provides Facilities. The primary function of the Organ- fzing Commit'ce is to provide for the fields and equipment for each of the events. There are 16 competitions on the 1932 progiam Secondly, the committer muct ar- range for the housing and_feeding of the thousands of athletes. It has been customary for each organizing commit- tee to contribute some new idea for the betterment of the games. The 1932 committee has_introduced the idea of the Olympic village. The village will be on the heights in a residential d'strict, just west of Los Angeles, and not more than 25 minutes from the heart of the city. lot one-half mile squar> has been se- ected. and between 600 and 800 houses, each accommodating four men, will be built at a cost of approximately $500.000 The village is only a 15-minute drive from the Olympic Stadium. 30 minutes from the site of the equestrian sport 20 minutes from the bexing and w ling pavilion, and 40 minutes from the rowing and yachting courses. Within a 20-minute radius are 15 training fields, and 50 are within a 45-minute radius. | Advantages of Village. | ‘The Olympic village plan was pre- | sented by the Organizing Committee to | the Olympic Congress in Berlin last year. The advantagss of having the athletes centrally housed are many. | Each house will be 20 feet wide by | 24 feet long. The houses will be di ded into two sections, each with a sepa- | rate vestibule and bed room. Each house also will have a shower bath, will be electrically lighted, and will be provided with new furniture, | Every nation will have a number ot | houses, according to th ize of the team, and it will be a simple matter for each manager to arrange his men so that those competing at night can sleep late without being disturbed by those in action during the day. A number of dining halls will be in- cluded in the village, with walls sep- arating each building into a series of small_dining rooms. These rooms will vary in size according to the size of the | teams and will be under the control of the team manager. That all the com- petitors may be provided with the cui- sine to which they are accustomed, the Organizing Committce has asked | each manager to submit a list of foods required. Every team will bring its own chef. Partly to defray the expense of build- ing v a charge of $2 a day a man will ed upon the nations sending teams Features of the village include ar- rangements for each nation to have a distinet headquarters, vic.a special hou: as offices for team man; s and taches. Medical service, supervised by Dr. n Lokrantz, medical director of the games, will be provided without cost. Dormitories for Women. Only the men will be quartered in| the village. The women will be housed | in the dormitories of the University of | Southern California. The campus ad- | Joins Olympic Park, where the Olympic stadium is located and where the swim- ming pool is being built. Arrangements for training are com- plete. Because of the climate here it 1s possible to have some cutdoor sport throughout the entire year, and gymnasium equipment at_the various high schools is excellent. The commit- tee has arranged to place this equip- ment at the disposal of the visiting teams. Already 16 high scheols have been obtained as_training their | equipment including tracks, fields, gym- | nasiums, showers, lockers, gymnastic apparatus and swimming tanks. A hign school or college will be assigned ca team as its training camp. and bus | transportation will be provided to and | from the village at no cost to the t2ams. Sites for all of the 16 cvents hav been definitely track and field games, of cours2, will be held at the Olympic Stadium, home grounds for the Universiiy of Southern Califo: s foot all games and track meets. Equestrian sports probably will be held at the Rivicra Country Club, which kas three polo fields. Swimming and water polo will be in the new Olym- pic pool. Boxing, wrestling and woight- Tifting will be the Olympic audi- | torium. The rowing course will be at Long Beach, 40 minutes from the Olympic village, and the yachting events will take place in Los Angeles harbor. | The Organizing Committe> functions | as a “group without country.” In all its arrangements the Tnited Sta treated as a foreign nation, just as land, Japan, Finland or any try. | Mayor Porter has appointed a com- mittee to prepare for the envortainm: 'Hl' of the vis athletes.

EW YORK, June 9.—The West- ern clubs of the American League have made a dismal showing against the Philadel- rhia Athletics. To date they have lost 21 games to the league leaders and have won only 1. No wonder the Western teams have snorted about being the vic- tims of bad umpiring! That is not a casual complaint. is regular ang chronic. has been given as a reason for bad ball playing ever since base ball began. The more one-sided a base ball race be- comes, the worse the umpiring, accord- ing to owners of clubs that are not doing so w Whether it is the umpiring or bad ball playing or anything else, it is evident that the Western end of the American League still is far away from that de- grec of efficiency, expertness and nath which is needed to balance a race well. The junior organization is geiting a little careworn over the pres ent condition and is at a loss to know what remedy to use. It is interesting to note the contrast between the American League and the National League in regard to the inter- sectional differences. In the American League the Athletics have taken a big lead because the West has collapsed s0 com) 3 1t Bad umpiring | I In the National League the leading | team, St. Louis, has had stiff competi- | tion from the Eastern clubs. There is & better balance between East and West in the Nalional League. There vou | have one of the principal reasons why | the American League has been winning | the championships and the National League has been making the money in recent years. A close fight brings out the fans. | Not many years ago American League artisans bragged because it could stage closer races than the National League. Every time the Giants won a pennant the radicals used to say, “Aw, well, the National League couldn't live if New York didn't win the pennant!” The league has managed to exist, and that was really buncombe criticism. Enemies of Ban Johnson, late presi- dent of the American League, once gave | circulation to reports that he ordered trades in teams so the race would be properly balanced. He certainly never did any trading for the Athletics. Once he forbade a trade, when Carl Mays was sent to New York, and he lost the | ase in court. residents of leagues never have any- thing to do with the pennant races. Most of the time they are never ap- ched by club owners. When an owner wants something he wants it quickly and he doesn't call on a league | president for aid.

BY WILBUR WOOD, EW YORK, June 9.—Though no- body seems to have given it any mention, there will be three fights at Ebbets Field to- | morrow night in addition to the behe- | mothic battle between Primo Carnera and Pat Redmond.

This ought to be worth watching. Harold Mays, Bayonne boy, who swas Gene Tunney's chief sparring partner, is ticketed with Walier Cobb, huge Western gladiator, for an eight. Tun- ney predicted that Mays eventually would find his way to the top. Harold has been on a detour for several years.
