javelin throw. With an initial toss
of 143 feet. inches, new worlds

made good her promises to the
sports world in the opening Wom-
ems event of the Olympic games.
Good. enough 10 defeat the world
champion, Ellen Braumueller OF
Germany, the winning throw wasn't
good enough for Babe.
If my hand hadn't slipped, I'd
have thrown it farther" was the
Babes response to admirers. I've
thrown the javelin nearly $50 feet
in practice
Conditions weren't so good in
the stadium. BY the time the jaw

cold
Miss Braumueller was second; T.
Fleishcher. third; Shimpo, Japan,

Shes 19 years old. this girl who
is entered in the high jump and
hurdles as well as the javelin, and
two years ago didn't know what the
word track" meant.
Her father is a cabinet maker in
Beaumont, Tex. where Babe went
rito school, A typical tom-boy all her
life, she wore mems clothes and
copied their actions. She never
used makeup and parted her hair
in the middle and combed it back
like a man.
Played Football
When the high school football
team practiced scrinmaging. Babe
practiced with it. She became such
an expert field goal kicker that the
coach wanted to put her in one of
the close games.
In 1890, NJ. ]. MacCombs, a for
mer University Of Missouri runner,
took her in charge and put track
shoes on her. Before that she had
been q center and forward on the
high school basketball team when
she had had national recognition.
MacCombs took her TO Chicago
where she started this business of
electrifying sportsmen. Any sport
she takes up she does well.
This years games mark her first
international competition. She at
ftracted interest through newspaper
interviews IN which she admitted
she was good.
She is stIll a tom-boy. That's one
( reason why that jayelin went 50
far.

Olympic records and one world rec

the grandest fooraces of all time
this afternoon-the l00-meter final

worlds fastest human.
This speed test may bring victory
to one of Americas big three, to
Percy Williams Of Canada. to Ja-
pans head-bandaged Yoshioka or
to one of seven other surviving
sprinters-it seems certain to bring
the sport fans their biggest thrill
of the day.
The fans saw a new world record
established Sunday in the women's
javelin hurting event. They saw
new Olympic records in the shot

hurdles. and the 10,000-meters dis

four of the five new Olympic or

an American.
1t fell to a feminine contestant,
Mildred Babe" Didrikson of Texas.
to put on the really spectacular
show of the first day. Here's the
picture: Olympic stadium. a large
concrete thing shaped like a bowl.
There's a large greensward down
below. A lot of gals come out for

brass hats stick out flag which
the announcer tells you is the best
woman ever did in this contest.
Then the Babe grabs hold of the
javelin and let's loose.
Bangl The thing hikes into the
grass at something like 10 yards past
the neat little flag and you cheer
for you know something really real
has happened. The girls including
Babe herself tried all afternoon to
do better. but nobody even came
close. So they put on the cere-
monial that comes after each Olym-
pic championship. and it was Babe
for whom he show was staged.
This ceremonial, incidentally, is
really something to behold. A man
with a voice you can really hear,
steps up TO a microphone which
sounds so clear that it is no more
like the mike at the polo grounds
than this writer is like Senator Guy
d. Golf Of West Virginia. He says:

he goes on to specify the event,
the name of the winner, and his
time or distance
