$3,000,000 Oly CAMES T0 DWARF All PASEXHIBIIS Victory for U. S. Assured in Only Three Events of Cinder Program. AN GOULD, Assoclated Press Sports Editor. OS ANGELES, July 23.—In a setting unprecedented in Olympic history for its color and elaborate proportions, the athletic forces of the United States in 16 different sports will meet the best the rest of the world can muster, starting one week | from today, over a wide and pic-! turesque battleground. | It cost the municipalities of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as well | as the State of Colifornia, ap- proximately $3,000,000 altogether to provide this setting. It ranges from the rowing course | Long Beach bullt at a cost of $250,000, 1o the colorful Olympic Village, housing close to 2,000 in the southwestern sec- tion of Los Angeles, and the gigantic coliseum. rebuilt as the Olympic Sta- ¢ium, to accommodate upward of 100,000 for the feature events of the games VEN the fine facilities provided by the Dutch four years ago are dwarfed by Southern Colifornia’s | Olympic plant. It will be the biggest athletic show of all time. from every standpoint, including attendance. Already more than 1.500.000 separate tickets have been sold. Sell-outs are expected for the big days in the sta- dium. for the opening ceremonies, the marathon and th~ Tast-West night foot ball game. Big crowds also are expected for the boxing and wrestling in the Olympic Auditorium and the Olympic regatta at Long Beach, where the high spot will be the California_crew’s defense of the WO eight-oared championship. In addition to rowing. Olympic team champianships will be defended by the United States in swimming and track | and field sports. The keen character of competition in these, as well as most of the other events. has been assured by the arrival of the best athletes rival nations can produce. HUS it is figured the U. S. A. will be lucky to score more first places in track and field than Finland, with Germany. Japan.

B. Holton of the American Uni- versity told his radio audience for Rod and Stream in its weekly broadcast.

Th: first was delivered two wecks ago by Dr. M. D'Arcy Magee, vice president of the Izank Walton League of America and president of the local chapter. So many {avorable comments twere re- ceived after Dr. Magee's talk that Rod and Stream decided to have a series of talks by speakers thoroughly famillar with the subject. R. HOLTON said we are most for- tunate in having within the city itself, within reach of all the people, a fine, healthful, recreational area in Rock Creek Park. He said winding down through this perk is a beautiful little stream from which the park taki its name. “In this hot weather when we seek out the park to| be ccoled and refreshed. it is only nat- | ural for us, or more likely for our chil- dren, to want to go wading and splash about in the cooling waters of this stream. Let me most urgently warn vou that this inviting stream in Rock Creek Park s not ail that it scems on the surface. It is not a safe strcam for your children to wace in and splath 2bout.

So when vou visit Rock Creek Park. enjoy it as you will. but ware of the waters of the stream itself, for your own sake. your children's sake and the safety of the general public | health of the City of Washington.” R. HOLTON then reached out and spoke of the broad waters of the Potomac River around and below | Washington, and asked if this stream is safe and satisfactory for bathing, swim- ming, and other forms of outdoor rec- reation. The answer. he said, is sharp and clear, NO, because into this stream are poured all the industrial waste wa- ters of the city of Washington and the | adjoining area on the Virginia side, and | more particularly because the sewage of | Washington and its suburban area, sheitering as it does more than 500.006 people, is passed directly into this bsau- | tiful river in practically raw form. He said that odors arise from the decay of | the organic matter that frequently are offensive. Bathing is not safe, certainly | with us? | tion to the not within a distance of 30 miles below Washington, he said “Is this evil condition an absolute necessity?” ha asked. “Must it be ever Is it something that naturally accompanies the growth of our large cities? Can it be remedied? Hasscience kept step with the growth of metropoli- tan areas? Is therc a satisfactory solu- problem of pollution?* He said the answer has already been wriiten into the history of some cities and it is today being rapidly written into the history of many more. Proved methods are available for the treatment of many types of industrial waste wa- te whereby they may be rendered harmless. In many cases the method of treatment has been so worked out that valuable by-products have been recovered. the income from which, he has at times produced a net profic at other times just about offset the st of purification.” Satisfactory methods have also been developed for the treatment of sanitary waste waters, he said. ISHING conditions in fresh and salt water could not be better for the arglers.

The trout and blues are advancing up the bay and its trib- utaries in large numbers. Many schools of blues are breaking in the bay and have just commenced to Atitack the iures. - The fish are everywhere, and the purse netters, so troublesome in past years for the anglers, have -ceased their operations, and consequently hun- dreds of thousands of rock, trout and blues which heretofore have fallen prey 1o their sweeping nets will be available for the rod and reel anglers. FRENCH SPEEDSTER INVADES AS WRITE Ladoumegue Might Consider Race With Nurmi if Finn Is Barred From Olympics. By the Associated Press. ARIS, July 23.—Jules Ladoumcgue, holder of the unofficial world rec- ord for the mile of 4:09'5, has sailed for the United States on the Ile De France. Disbarred from the Olympics as a professional, Ladoumegue will cover the games for a French newspaper. Ladoumegue said he did not think he would run in the United States, but that he might consider a match race with Paavo Nurmi, if the Finn is not reinstated for the Olympic games and should decide to turn professional Ladoumegue lost his amateur status last Winter when the French Athletic Federation found him guilty of unethi- cal conduct in accepting large expense accounts. !Track Olympic Is Best Seller | Foot Ball Comes Next, | [ BY LAWRENCE PERRY, N the order of ticket selling vol- ime for the various events of the Olympic Games, track and I With Swimming Third | in Pulling Power at Box Office. demopstration foot ball game be- tween the composite Yale-Princeton- Harvard and Stanford-California- Southern California elevens.

BY GRANTLAND RICE. 08 ANGELES, Calif., July 23. —The pick of the world athletes are here—2,000 strong or fast. And yet the | most remarkable athlete of the ‘rmire lot doesn’t happen to be a member of the male species. Her name is Babe Didrikson, the girl from Dallas, who is the phe- nomenon of the great pageant. There are two remarkcble features attached to Miss Didrikscn's case. One is that eny human being can be so | good in so many branches of sport. , | |~ "The other is that any human can | | compete in as many cvents in one day | and etill stand on top of both feet. HE masculine race has produced any | number cf all-around stars. There was Jim Thorpe, an Olympic | decathlon winner, fcot ball player, base | ball player. There was Barry Wood of Harvard who starred at foot ball. base | ball, hockey and tennis. We have had | more than a few who starred in four | or five sports, including Harry Fisher of | williams who had a high average in six leading sports. But what are these compared to the record cf Babe Didrikson? In the final tryouts for the women's championship at track and field she placed in 10 events, wen 6, and ran up 30 points She won a track and field mee: against the pick of the country without calling for outside help. But that is only a starter. She is a good tennis player and a gocd base ball plaver. She is a fine swimmer and a brilliant basket ball plaver. Given the oppcrtunity. she can place in 15 differ- | ent track and field events nd in ad- | dition in high class in six other compet- itive sports. HERE may be some male athlete who can match this record, but I have never heard the name. Women are supposed to tire more quickly than men. Most of the woman athletes do. They haven't the stamina which men carry to the fleld. Miss Didrikson has more stamina than a battleship. She can finish an all afterncon per- formance at track and fleld without any sign of wilting. The Dallas athiete is a combination of wiry strength and unusual agility. She is strong and flexible. Power and wiriness arc her two main blends. She is one of the tew wcmen who can throw a bate ball like a man. She will be one of the sensations before the Olympic curtain rings down. ENUNG of Washington and Hal- lowell of Harvard are the (wo United States runners vho face the hardest assignments on the track here will be trouble enough at the 100, 200 and 400 meter tests, and there will be little chance beyond the 1.500, but tiere is more than average inter- est in what Genung and Hallowell can do_at the middle distances. In 1924 and 1928 the 800 and the 1.500 meter races went to Great Bri- tain and Pinland. _ Douglas Lowr. Nurmi and Larva. The United States was not even close. The British will make another strong bid in these events with Hampson, Thomas and Stonely. Finland and Germany will be well boistered alto. And so will Italy. ERE is the class that Genung will have to face in the 800-meter test — Hampron of Great Britain, Keller and Martin of France. Peltzer of Germany, Edwards of Canada. Pav- ernari and Becalll of Italy. Peltzer and Martin have both smashed records at this distance. It is largely a ques- tion of coming back to past form. Here is the assignment Hallowell and our other 1.500-meter men must tackle —Larva and Purje of Pinland, Thomas of Great Britain, Lovelock of New Z=aland It 15 hard to say whether Genung or Hallowell, the two winners at Palo Alto. has the hardest test. The Brit- ich_believe Hampson can run the 800 with anybody. He is rated as the sirongest middle-disiance man in Eu- rope and he happens to be in an event where the British have always had good men Hallowell also has a terrific assign- ment_against the two star Finns, Larva and Purje, with Thomas and Lovelotk just about as gecod. The New Zealand camp is willing to support Lovelock, a Rhodes scholar man, against any entry in this race. He has run the mile in 4.12 this vear and is still further ad- vanced at this point. 'ORTUNATELY the United States has two exceptional men in Genung and Hallowell, with Cunningham supporting the Harvard star. Genung has the speed to put on down ths stretch, and it should take a new world record to run him down. Hallowell, the Harvard entry, is one of the best com- petitors the coming games will know. He is a runner who has been coming steadily forward, ‘mproving week by week. Each of these races should be as close es 50-50, a toss un to the last stride. ‘They should be two of the most brilliant | competitions on the program, for they | are the distances that catch and hold the attention of the crowd. The sprints are over before you can breathe again. They are like explo- | sions. But the 400, 800 and 1500 m-ter runs are long enough to keep the pulses leaping for more than a sudden flash. Here are three races that no one should miSs. They should be three of the greatest in ths history of Olvmpic sport. And with Carr. Eastman. Genung. Hallowell and Cuningham in action the United States at least has a fair chance to re- goin some of its lost middle distance glory. At which point it is always just as well to remember that in facing the pick of the world there is no certainty | to bank on. Past Olvmpics have shown too often what can happen. { Blue Jay Twelve Rated Best Ever FYTHIS year's champlonship l‘urusse team of Johns Hopkins is looked upon by authorities of the game as the greatest stick twelve of modern years, if not of all time. The Blue Jays, playing through a difficult _college schedule, followed that up by beating the strongest op- position in the Olympic play-off se- ries. “1t is by far the strongest team I have coached,” says Dr. Riy Van Orman, athletic director of Hopkns “Efght of my regulars could play any position on the team equally well. And I hid" two complete teams, the regulars being very little stronger than the seconds. And whether the seconds were playing or the regulars they never seemed to lose their scoring speed.” 1., OARSMENLEAD INCANADIAN WEET Detroit Eight Takes Final Feature in Three-Day Royal Henley.
