1 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINdT()N 3 O, JUNE 21, 1831—PART FIVE. Los Angeles Is Rushing OIympzc Work: : Poloists Start Tournament Tomorrow |FOUR MEET EVENTS |LAGROSSE LEADERS MEET BALLYHOOED | FROM ALL ANGLES Everything Is “Special” as Promoters Steam Ahead. To Seat 110,000. L away, but Los Angeles, the host city, is under full steam right now with advertising and preparation. The organizing committee, un- der the direction of Zach Farmer, has planned every detail for the care of the visiting athletes, and preliminary work is already under ‘way in the erection of the Olympic village, where all participants will live. Automobiles cruising the sun-bathed streets of the Western wonder city bear ‘windshield stickers, hub caps and spare tire covers telling the world that the Olympic Games of 1932 are just around , the corner. There is activity everywhere. The huge stadium has been enlarged to ac- commodate 110,000 persons—the great. est stadium capacity in the history o the wecrld games. And Los Angeles aims to have an occupant in every seat on each of the big days. OS ANGELES and the Organizing | OCommittee took a word out of Mr. ‘Webster's dictionary and are using # overtime. That word is “special.” Everything is special! The biggest manufacturer of beds in the world has designed a special bed for each indi- vidual athlete. This bed is 6 feet 6 inches Icng, 37% inches in width and 16 inches thick. A special spring mat- tress over a box spring will make these beds just about as comfortable as any king or racketeer ever slept upon. ‘The houses themselves are extra special. Each standard house will ac- commodate four athletes and each ath- lete will have his special bed, shower, ‘wash basin, efc. They are not tempo- rary huts, but will be built of the best material. ‘There will be special dining rooms for each team. And each team will bring its own chef, so that he may repare the kind of food the boys have geen used to all their lives. There will be a large bath house, where every device known to science will be available in the training and treatment of the athletes. | There will be a special medical cen- ter, likewise equipped in personnel and devices to meet any emergency. There will be special entertainment very evening by the world’s leading movie stars. There will be a special showing each evening of the moving pictures taken of the day’s events. There will be a special bus service at the call of the visitors. ‘There will be spec! trains crossing the country from Montreal, Boston, New York, New Orleans, Houston and other ports. And finally there will be a special act of Congress in December to make 1t possible for the Olympic visitors to enter America without passport and without paying customs on personal sports equlpment So, with all of of this, and more, to look after, Zach Farmer and his com- mittee are moving at extra special speed. Tt will cost the visiting athletes $2 8 day for everything. All the living expense they will be put to is in supply- ing their own chefs. The village will be erected at & cost ©of $500,000, but it is likely it may be disposed of to advantage after the es are over, for it is being erected m desirable location and with a veiw of permanency. It may become a pe;aféourm camp after the Summer of 1932. Olympic Village is for the man athletes. The woman athletes will have their own village in the near- by University of Southern California. They will occupy the dormitories and have the various fields and gymnas- fums for their training. Sixteen athletic fields have been pro- vided for the visiting man athletes, besides numerous clubs, gymnasiums and indoor facilities. Each team will be scheduled for certain hours each day according to its needs. No detail has been overlooked. Athletes performing in night events will have speclally insulated huts away from the others so they may sleep late in the morning lndbeundlnumd ARMY FOUR IS 1S VICTOR Scores Over Harvard, 6-5, in Final of Handicap Event. ‘WOODMERE, N. Y., June 20 (A).— Flashing a closing .spun that weuld not be denied. Army’s polo four defeated Harvard, 6 to 5, in the final round of the intercollegiate handicap tourna- ment today. The Cadets’ victory earned for them possession for one year of the Gouverneur Morris trophy. ‘The cadets, lowest handicapped team in the tournament, were given a two- goal handicap to start with but Har- | vard opened the game with a rush and quickly moved into a four-three lead. OS ANGELES, June 20.—The tenth Olympiad is yet a year Army pulled itself together after the | third period, however, and forged ahead on fourth period goals by Beebe and Cusack. Army's ace performer, Lieut. Regers, gave the Cadets a 6-4 lead with a spectacular goal in the fifth and this advantage was maintained until the final minute of play, when Crispin Cooke started a late Harvard rally.

Certainly Primeero flattened Patrick, but then Patrick seems to have what the psychologists might call a mattress complex, meaning horizontal tendencies. ‘There was a sad, far-off look in the eyes of Patrick as he stepped to the center of the ring to pose for the instructions with Carnera. You see the same look in the eyes of a dove that is being looked at by the rattle snake and you can see the same expression in the face of_a_cottontail rabbit. I do not say that Patrick had any intention of going into the tank, which is an expression which the boys have when they mean to indi- cate that a gladiator is entering the ring to kiss the canvas with as much speed as possible and with the idea of sustaining at little physi- cal damage as possible. But Patrick was beaten before the bell rang. Any time you see that look in the eyes of a gladiator the decent thi 0 do is to toss in the sponge, the towel and the bucket before the bell. Of course, this is unconventional, but the circumstances would ‘justify it. ‘The referee should be authorized to take summary action when a fighter steps out of his corner with the rabbit look in his face. Is a Good Swinger. 'HEN Patrick came out of his corner he burrowed his chin in the natural buffalo hide which covers his chest, but Carnera did not have to hit him on the lower maxillary. . He hit him on top of the head, on the chest, on the forehead, everywhere. I think that the punch that finally disposed of Patrick was a right to the shoulder. Once dur- ing the round Patrick did hit Car- nera in the mouth, but the blow only seemed to annoy Signor Car- nera. If Carnera had been wearing a mustache it probably would have tickled him to the extent of making him sneeze. Fortunately, he was not wearing a mustache for the draft from the sneeze might have blown Patrick out of the ring. They say ters the hall of fame, he is followed by troubles. Look at Wes Farrell!

It struck me that if these boys were as inaccurate in swinging those sledges as Carnera is in swinging his flail-like arms there would be a lot of people hurt below unless the sledges happened to land on their heads from the tenth story. Mr. Gene Tunney, who caused all the demonstrations of this nature by retiring, was sitting somewhere be- hind me, greatly bored by the entire proceedings of the evening. I got to thinking that if Mr. Tunney were in there instead of Mr. Redmond he might have stood in one spot and avoided all of the swings of Carnera without moving his feet. Also it struck me that Mr. Tunney might have hit Carnera three times while Carnera was going through the mo- tions of one swing. it ‘was all over Mr. James J. Johnston, the Boy Bandit, who is appealing to the United States Su- preme Court to match Carnera against other fighters, leaned over my shoulder and sai ‘Don’t you think Carnera is a great fighter?” I did not wish to give Mr. Johm- ton a short answer, so I said “No.” The Quest of O'Rourke. 'HE venerable Mr. Thomas O'Rourke was deeply chagrined when Patrick took the first fall. Patrick did it after the manner of a skilled tumbler or a foot ball play- er who falls instinctively, taking the tumble on the back of his shoulders. When Patrick took the second and final fall, Mr. O'Rourke was on the verge of tears. You see it is the ambition of Mr. O'Rourke to produce an Irish heavy- weight champion for sentimental or commercial reasons, or both. He first produced Con O'Kelly, the Irish glant. But it was evident after a few starts that Con was not the man. After further search Mr. O'Rourke decided that Ireland might not be the best place in which to discover an Irish champion. So he com- municated with agents in Australia and asked if they could not locate him an_Irish champion somewhere in the bush. The answer came in Patrick Redmond, but the other mg;n proved that it was the wrong reply. At present Mr. O'Rourke’s agents are combing Bulgaria and Czecho- slovakia in search of an Irish cham- pion. As soon as the Soviet govern- ment gives permission, Mr. O'Rourke will send them into Russia to see if &eu is not a likely heavyweight ere. along 8s Shamus McGodfrey, the Irish gient. Or he might use lery Wills, billing him as Mlchul 'Wills, the killer of Kildare and the helvywekm champion of Ireland. —g FRONT ROYAL VICTOR. | card read 10i.

Grinsfelder of the Hecht Co., Washington, won the handicap golf tournament, which was a part of the entertainment given by Mcses S. Hecht, president of the Hecht stores, to the executives and merchandise managers of the Hecht organization, at the Wood- holme Country Club in Baltimore. His Handicap of six gave him a winning net of 95. He received a silver loving cup. There was a triple tie for second place among Malcomn Hecht and Jeff Miller of Baltimore and Charles B.

Fish have been caught out in the bay, of course, but last_week big hardheads were caught in Herring Bay itself. As a matter of fact, one woman, Mrs. Roy Matthews, using only a rowboat and just fishing a little distance from shore, landed sev- eral hardheads of about 4-pounds each. Another _report comes from Capt. R. E. Lee of Shady Side. Recently he took out Mr. and Mrs. A, E. Gibson of 161 U street northwest. They llndzd 26 hard heads and one trout, the trou weighing 3% pounds. They fished ofl the buoy in the mmlth of West Rit'!r. ‘The warm weather last week was just the thing needed to start the fish biting in their true style. Reports stated that fish were biting at Ocean_City, Wachapreague, on the Eastern Shore, other places along the bay and in_the Patuxent and tomac Rivers. This week the anglers can go in any direc- tion, and if the wind does not blow too hard may expect to be rewarded with sized catches. .Im h Pacyna and Lou Kolodin, mngum anglers, returned Friday nllht from a trip to Wachapreague, where they fished Wednesday, Thurs- day and Priday morning.

This was in contrast to the um‘s played at Toronto in 1930. Johns Hopkins University was_host to the team as to facilities and Henry Iddins, treasurer of that institution, was business manager of the series, and Lewis J. Korn, president of the Inter- collegiate Lacrosse Association, attri- butes much of the success of the two games to him. This year's two games, in which St. John's won on total goals, 5 tg 3, were unusual. St. John's got all goals in the opening clash; four of them were scored in the first 12 minutes, and # led, 4 to 2, at the close of the half. Canada won the second tilt, played at night, 1 to 0, and thus each team count- ed only one goal in the last 90 minutes of play. In fact, St. John's scored its fifth tally in the first three minutes of the last half of the opener, so that actually just one point was registered in 87 minutes of combat.

And some of them have been pretty hard to answer. Now comes one which comes close to taking the prize; my correspondent this time writes: “You lay considerable stress on keeping the right hand out of the stroke and making the left (the weak- er) assume the burden, which gives rise to the question: ‘Why don't, le play left-handed, thereby giving the mhtr:m (the stronger) the bigger Prankly, I cannot assign any very convincing reasons why a person should not play just u-well left-handed as right-handed. Any number of objec- Hions 0 the left-handed style have been urged, but it seems to me that few of them if any have any real meat in them. One golfing physician advanced the theor{ that the swing of a left- handed player compressed the region around his heart and_therefore im- paired his physical efficiency. one I should not attempt to Judg ment on for T know nothing whatever of the possible efft of whatever com- pression might result. But I do feel that some of the other reasons are patently unsound. Made for Right-handers. In this class T would place the idea that golf courses are laid out for right- handed golfers and are therefore more severe upon the unfortunate who may prefer to stand on the other side of the ball. I don’t believe there is & thing in this. The only two considera- tions which might work to the advant- age of the right-hander are that he can obtain superior clubs, and bly more _intelligent _instruction use most of the good pros themselves hap- pen to play in the same way as their pupils. Aside from these two things, it would appear that the only thlnl be consulted would be the comfort or Tgrelerenu of the individual. general prejudice which grown up against the left-handed method has been fostered by the knowl- edge that there are in the world very few really expert players who play the game left-handed. It seems to me that we need look for no occult reason for this. Considerably fewer than one person of each 10,000 who play golf deserve an expert rating. I do not know the exact figures, but I should say that there would not be more than one left-handed player in each three or four hundred. If we take it at 1 in 400 and the number of golfers in the United States at 4,000,000, we should expect to have, according to my Pointers on Golf BY SOL METZGER. ‘Women usually have fiexible wrists. ‘That makes it necessary for them to employ more than the usual care in executing chip shots from points near the green.

It is my ldu '.hlt the left arm should control the golf lwinl. but its function can be performed wi out the player's having the use o( it that would be required for accurate throwing, writing or any number of other acts which are accomplished by the right. I wneelve that there are certain definite reasons why the left arm should take the club back and why it should dominate the hit- ting stroke, and I do not admit that a right-handed person would be able to pull the club down lrum the top, in back-handed fashion, any more gowtrlul effect with his rlght than with is left arm, even though he might be able to throw better with the right. Motion of Arm Simple. And here is another thought. Re- member that the motion of the left arm is simple—straight back and straight down—and that the use of the right has to be a good bit more deli- cate. Would not a right-handed person be better able to perform those more delicate actions with his right hand than he would his left, as he would be, required to do if he were to switch over? I wrote some time ago that I thought that a golf swing was some- what like the gait of s trotting horse in that it was not able to be directed by natural impulses. And the hana and arm which is not working on a track and has to be watched is the right. I think that I, who am very right-handed, would prefer that it be =o. No, I do not believe that a person who 1is naturally right-handed would be happily playing golf left-handed, even though he may have been success- ful batting left-handed. There is a great difference between the batting swing and the golf stroke.

HIRD Cavalry Yellows of Fort Myer, who last season, in addition to winning the Southeastern circuit title, triumphed in the War Depart- ment invitation and Argentine Cup polo tournaments here, face a tough task to repeat their vic- tory in the War Department invi- tation affair opening tomorrow afternoon on the Potomac Park ioval. Play will continue each afternoon throughout the week except Friday. The contests will start at 3:30 o'clock. Fauquier-Loudoun riders from near | Middleburg, Va., bolstered by the ad- dition of Jock Whitney at No. 2, and War Department Whites. both are fig= ured likely to upset the Fort Myer combination, which has available only one of its 1930 regulars. Sixth Pleld i Artillery of Fort Hoyle, Md., which did ‘not compete last year; Fort Humphreys {and War Deparfment Blues also will ' participate. Beat Two Soldier Teams. Besides Whitney, Fauquier-Loudoun is expected to be represented by Kirke patrick at No. 1; Stillman, No. 3, and Hobart, No. 4 Last season the riders from the Old Dominion did not show impressively here, but in the Riggs Cup tournament last week in Baltimore overcame both the 3d Cavalrymen and War Department Whites, the former by 12 to 9, and the latter, 8 to 5. ‘War Department Whites probably will line-up as follows: Maj. J. M. Eager, No. 1; Lieut. Gordon Rogers, No. 2; Maj. George L. Patton, No. 3; J. L Devers, No. 4. team at hand. Lieut. Makinney. Clvt Devine and Lieut. Robinson all now are stationed out of town. I Surles Hors de Combat. Maj. Alexander D. Surles, No. 1 on the team. is suffering a leg injury and it is doubtful whether he will be able to play in the tourney. Capt. Thomas | W. Ligon probably will hold forth at | this post if Maj. Surles cannot perform. Maj. Julian W. Cunningham is slated to be at No. 3 and Lieut. Willard A, Holbrook, No. 4. Third Cavalry and Fort Humphreys are to clash tomorrow with the former the favorite. Fort Humphreys was out- | classed in the 1930 tournament but robably will show to somewhat better dvantage this year. Sixth Field Ar- | tillery and War Blues will have it out Tuesday. Wednesday's match is ex- | pected to prove a thriller, bringing to- gether, as it will, War Whites and Fauquier-Loudoun. ‘Winners of Monday's and Tuesday's contests will §ace Thursday, with the victor qualifying to meet the winner of Wednesday's match in the cham- et plonship clash Saturday. 60 | Applications Summlries of latest mawhes 2 Marion Bui - ). 81, 6—1. 86— defeated SEarSats ) detented K.
