Only in mems swimming where
 the little Japanese excelled, were the Americans unable to take top
 honors.
 The Olympic celebration just ended was the greatest of all time
 because of these things: Competition was the keenest. There was an unusual number of eyelash finishes, The greatest crowds attended. III will was gen. erally missing.
 The 16-day sports carnival came
 to close at sundown last night. Pretty! The closing ceremony was, by far the most impressive of anyf of the extra-athletic events of the two weeks. The sun had just dipped
 behind the west end of the stadium as the trumpeters atop the peri soulful Aloha Ohe." Then the Olympic torch which was lighted fortnight ago in the presence of Vice President Curtis, was gradually extinguished. At the other side of the great bowl large band, fianked by massed choir, played and sang the
 United States national anthem. Be- fore crowd of 100000.
 The games produced more new world and Olympic records than any other. Chief among them were the American triumphs in the mems and women's track and field events and in women's swimming and the rowing.
 To the Japanese went the honor of capturing the mems swim cham pionship. Only by virtue of one- two-three finishes in both high div ing and in springboard diving were the Americans saved from utter rout.
 The big star of the games, prob- ably, was little Eddie Tolan, De- | troit negro. This super runner set new record time in both the 100- meter and the 200-meter. Standouts There were two women marvels. One was Mildred Babe" Didrick- son of Dallas who won the javelin and hurdles events, while placing second in the high jump. The other big feminine ace was
 Helene Madison of Seattle, who captured the 100 and 400-meter free style swim titles. The iron men of the games were Jim Bausch. midwest American who scored in the gruelling decath- lon, and Juan Carlos Zabala. Ar genuine star, who finished first in the marathon.
 Great Finish Probably the most thrilling event was the eight-oared rowing final won by the United States, repre- sented by the University of Califor- mia crew, which nosed out Italy's blue shirts in the closing strokes. The Prix Des nations jumping event (equestrian) was the last competition conducted in the sta- diuNn. Lieutenant Takeichi Nishi of Japan, who negotiated the 1050- meter course, studded with barriers and water jumps, with only eight faults, won.
 In an international water polo match which closed activities at Olympic swimming stadium, com bined Hungarian and German team defeated the United States, to 3.

 Great Work

 The other world mark to fall was the 80-meter women's hurdles rec ord. Simone Schaller of the United States, who could place only fourth in the Olympics, ran that event in 11.6, one-tenth of a second faster than the world mark. She had some wind at her back.
 Americans who carried the brunt of the attack were Ralph Metcalfe, giant Negro speeder from Mar quette; Emmett Toppino of Loy- ola, Hec Dyer of California and Ralph Montague of San Francisco.

A. C.'s undeserved triumph. The Gar agers dropped their fifth game In loosely played contest to the Washington Hills, 8 to 2, Atwood's wildness causing his own down fall.
 What Start!
 Selenski got off to poor start in the first three innings, filling
 
 the first Herb Colby singled to center and went to third on Bill Harnick's single to right.

Mickey Bowen singled to open the Tommies second and went to third as Hinnie Santopie- tro's bunt went unfielded for a hit. Johnny Hoben, attempting to catch Santopietro at second threw into centerfield, Bowen tallying and Santy taking third. Clarence Mariani and Colby walked, but Santopietro was nailed at the plate, l Selenski to Hoben, on an at- 1 tempted "squeeze" play. Dunn laid down a beautiful bunt and Mari ami scored as Selenski was tossing him out.
 Tribes Have Big Inning Carl Klies opened the winners third with a pop fly to Colby who | dropped the pellet near the left | field foul line. Pat Heating was hit by pitched ball and Bob Cavanaugh obliged with a single post Schofield scoring Klies, Keat- | ing also registering as Martino idiotically threw home and past Santapietro, Cavvy taking third. Bubbles" Balinsky was also a hit batsman and stole second on the second pitch. Joe Doyle walked, ] filling the sacks. John Egan grounded to Dunn who faked a throw and then threw to Mulli- gan at first who dropped the ball as Cavanaugh scored. Dunn might have had Cavvy at home and in his speed decided to throw to first where Null was figuring on the play at home. Mulligan recovered the ball and threw Balinsky out at home as he tried to score. Pat Fitzpatrick whiffed, but Johnny Hoben doubled to left center, Herb Colby almost mailing the ball but dropped 1t, robbing Hoben of what was labelled Ruthian smack Doyle and Egan scoring. . | Cavanaugh Produces Again In the last of the eighth, Klies punched a single to left and took second as Heating was hit again by Mariani.

- Pennington, Aug 15.-Arthur Reid, veteran campaigner of the Country club of Pennington and Jack Perkins, young instructor at Wamponoag, stuck close enough to par to tie for first place in the Connecticut F. G. O. straight pro- fessional tournament at the Coun- try club of Harrington yesterday afternoon.
 Both were out in 36 even par, and back in 38, which is one over regulation figures. Perkins fin- ished first and his "A looked good enough to win outright until straight as string" Arthur Reid came along to show the young whipper-snappers how a golf course should be played.
 Arthur is 50 years young. more than double the age of some of the competitors, but that he hasn't forgotten what he learned many years ago, Arthur proved to the keen satisfactoin of his members many of whom were gathered around the 18th green to give their professional rousing hand as he played out of a trap beautifully and holed a nice putt for his four.

Gene Kunes of Yum ble Brook and Barney Gunshin- nan of Willimantic were tied at 78 the highest figure that got itno the division of prize money. The only other man in the field to break 80 was Graham Reid, the 20-year old son of the man who tied for first. Graham had a good chance to win until he put two tee shots out of bounds att he 18th and an other on the 17th.
 Arthur Reid played the steadiest kind of golf most of the way and put in a touch of brilliancy here and there to atone for the few mistakess that he made. The vet eran Pennington teacher got fine start when he clipped up two feet from the cup to snare birdie three on the first hole. He followed that with four pars and then missed the green on the short sixth to go one over, finishing with three pars to reach the turn in 36

Earl started off shakily for the first three innings, when the Tommies collected hits and were given five free passes to first base, but after the third, he allowed one hit for the remainder of the ses- sions.
 The Tribune southpaw was a bit liberal with his passes issuing S.
