CHAPERONES AND
TRAINERS WATCH
GIRL ATHLETES
BY MARY ALICE PARENT
United Press Special Correspondent

United Press Special Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5.-The
team of Hall and Hall gave the
team of Didrikson and MacCombs
a close race to the tape in the 30
meter hurdles for ladies in the 1892
Olympics.
Babe Didrikson led her team
mate, Evelyn Hall, by inches in
the race which set new worlds
record of III seconds.
But sharing closely in the first
and second places with the two
American girls were husband and
a coach.
1--WE always been coached by M.
j. MacCombs," said Babe. IT pick
out what I want to do and he
shows me how to do it."
Close to home IS Evelyn Halls
inspiration.
, Leonard, my husband, started
me in my track work and he's
coached me in the hurdles. It's
really on account of him I was
able to win"
The girls aren't playing lone
hands out on the stadium track
and in the fencing armory. Coaches
and chaperones are jealousy
guarding the athletes.
Mrs. Hiroko Shiramaya, chap
erone for the japanese swimming
team, feels almost like mother
tn her Mandarin girls
every night I go through all
their rooms after they've gone to
bed" she said. "They aren't used
to the weather here and throw
their covers off. I go around twice
each night to get them all tucked
in."
Mrs. Shiramaya gets pretty tired
taking care of her brood, but she
likes it.
They're nice girls and are hav-
ing lots of fun in the hotel with
the other athletes. For two weeks
before they came to this country
they went to a Y. w. c. A. in ia
pan where they learned table man.
ners and etiquette of this country"
Acts as Chaperone
Mrs. Ellen Osiier, Denmark
fencer and Olympic champion in
1920, has given up the chance for
personal glory to chaperone the
Danish team and officiate in the
fencing matches.
Danish girls aren't thinking
much about anything except COM
peting while the games are going
or<J- txyi11
until the games are over, then go
home by way of San Francisco"
If anyone tries to spoil the ath-
letic ability of Babe Didrikson or
the rest of the American track
team he must answer to Fred L.
Steers.
"These girls are just kids and
don't know what it's all about
all this ballyhoo going on around
them. They get along fine on the
track and field but back here in
the hotel with everyone making
heroines out of them they're liable
to. hurt their own chances of win
ming"
P. Grobbelaar didn't bring Mar
jorie Clark all the way from South
Africa to have her spoil her chances
of doing the best she can in the
Olympics. So he keeps her from
talking to outsiders on her track
work.
Mrs. Theodore Wright keeps
Thelma Kench, sprinter, in tow to
keep her from getting homesick
for New Zealand. Helene Mayer,
German fencer, is shadowed by
Mrs. B. A. Mayer of Whittier with
whom she is going to stay between
Olympic games and the opening of
Scripps college.

FORMER ALASKAN MAY BE PRESIDENT PRO ITEM
 0F THE J. 5. SENATE

The Democratic power in the United States Senate probably means the attainment of an ambi- tion to be president pro tenn after 13 years of unsuccessful trying for Senator Key Pittman, of Nevada.
 Senator Pittman has been the choice of the Democrats for swing ing the Senate gavel in the absence of the Vice President since the 66th Congress, in 1919, and regu- larly he has been pushed out of the picture by the Republican candidate under a dominant G. O. P. majority.
 Key Pittman is well known in Alaska: it will be recalled he was the first city attorney of Nome, af- ter territorial cities were given municipal government in 1900. He was also a miner in the Nome dis trict.
