The Zev-Grey Lag invasion OF
British tracks is only one detail
among many. The Olympic games,
greatest Of all international meet
ings. will be- held in Paris during
\the summer months with a small
army Of American athletes taking
issue with slant-eyed Mongolians,
sturdy Czechs, stolid Englishmen,
vivid Frenchmen, and in fact. al
most the entire polyglot world.
The competition will run the
gamut from track and field ath-
letics to ice skating, soon to begin
at Chamounix, Switzerland. Swim
ming, boxing, wrestling. tennis and
basketball are just q part Of q
vastly comprehensive program.
For the first time, lawn tennis
will be of universal interest to
Olympic patrons. An American
team, probably numbering Bill
Tilden. Vincent Richards and the
Kinsey brothers among it's men,
bers, will be sent out to preserve
its ascendency over the world.
but, for once, it will be the
popular interest.
This 10 due to the fact that Helen
Wills and temperamental Suzanne,
greatest women players Of two
continents, are likely to meet not
once, but several times. Helen will
be a member Of the American team
that will meet the British return
team match on home and home
basis, and later will enter the
women's singles at Wimbledon. If
Helen and Suzanne do not meet
in the final round here, which is
altogether likely, they are certain to
cross paths somewhere in the
women's singles to be held in con-
nection with the Olympic games.
Their duels promise to rival. II
not surpass in interest those tenn
pestuous meetings between Mile.
L.englen and Mrs. Mallory. The
personal element will not receive
the same play. for Helen is nothing
If not impersOnal. But she will
have America behind her to man
and the possibility Of the great
Ienglen's defeat at the hands Of
a seventeen -year-old college fresh
man will add unusual piquancy to
the affair.
Golf abroad may not mount the
international scale as in other
years, largely because a British
team Of amateurs is likely to come

tale. however. A comparatively
young man, he entered major league
baseball less than nine years ago,
and since he always has taken the
best Of care Of himself 1t is hardly
credible that his ability has alto
gether vanished beyond hope of re-
claim.
What Is more likely IL that Ameri.
can League clubs, having seen sui.
ficient of Mays during his tenure in
that organization, decided by COM
mon consent that the liability of his
personal characteristics was greater
than whatever assets his pitching
might produce. In consequence, he
will wind up his major league days
with the Cincinnati Reds.

the baseball wars. He leaves just
as many in New York now. Yet
his personality has virtues. One
of them is gameneSs. He steps

While the fight ragged over his

pitched excellent ball and really per-

club in the race. The issue was set

through the first half of the race.
Late in the season, however, he
accidentally hit Ray Chapman with
q pitched ball, and the latter died
before morning. No one regretted
the tragedy as much as Mays, but
his enemies proceeded to make
capital of the accident, and there
was much talk of driving him out
of baseball, since he had gained
some notoriety because his under
hand delivery had resulted in many
men being hit.

of that season and the whole OF

Another Mays virtue Is a lack of
vanity under the almost colossal
self-assurance. We saw him after
one OF those games early In 1920
when he couldn't pitch a lick, and
in order to soften the panning he
had received at the hands of
