MUCH WRANCLING
ENCOUNTERED in
FENCING BOUTS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2. W.H-
France was given the Olympic
foil teams fencing championship
today although held to an 8 to 8
tie with Italy in the finals, with
the United States taking third place
and Denmark fourth. France was
given the victory despite the tie
with Italy by virtue of its lead on
touches, So to So.
The victory was awarded the
Frenchmen following a run-off of
three teams tied after the final
round. The French team had VIC
tories over Italy and Denmark with
loss to the United States.
The italian team defeated the
United States and Denmark but
lost to France, while American VIC
tories over the French and Danes
placed them in the run-off.
This victory over France marked
the first time that an American
team had entered the finals of
fencing match in Olympic games
history.
After Americas speedy losses,
first to France, then to Italy in the
barrage, by scores of lis and 81,
the winners took the floor as III
the final round of previous Olym-
piads with the aged and picturesque
PHILIPPE Cattiau directing his
French team from the floor.
The Italians, led by 6-foot-7-inch
Guilo Gaudini, individual foils fl
nalist four years ago at Amster-
dam, drew first blood as Gustavo
Marzi defeated Edward Gardere
of the French team, So.
Feeling Is High
France came back to win the
hext match, and at no time during
the round did either team lead by
more than two matches. Although
Cattiau and Gardere of the French
team won all but one of their
matches, Marzi of Italy was the
sensation of the evening.
He triumphed over his four
French opponents by scores of SIS
and was never in danger of losing.
Feeling ran high through the
matches.
On one occasion after a disputed
point, Cattiau refused to continue
and 30-minute conference of the
games committee was called. The
decision of the referee against the
French captain was sustained and
the latter threatened to withdraw
his team.
Only after an additional 30-min-
ute conference with French at
-tachees did he consent to resume
The match. He then scored the de-
Gliding touch on Guaragna of the
Italian team a few seconds after
the bout was resumed.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2.-The
worlds record in the women's 100
meter race, set up by Stella Walsh
in the qualifying heats, surprised
the Polish girl as much as it did
the spectators.
81 didn't expect to do that well"
she told the United Press after
chopping a tenth of a second off
the former worlds record of II
seconds. After setting up the mark
of 119 seconds in the trials of the
first women's sprints to be run II

the semi-finals with the same time!
"It's a very good track-hard and
fast and helps TO make good time.

morrow. My cold bothered me a
little at the first of the race to-
day."
Tollina Schuurman, of Holland,
holder of the former worlds rec

was eliminated in the semi-finals
because she couldn't find her stride
on the hard track.

trouble with the track and found
it very hard to run or" she said

I came"
Going To School
Poland's gain is United States
loss in the case of Stella Walsh.
Brought up in Cleveland, this
country has had considerable claim
on the sprinter, even causing her
to change her name from Stanis-

lied form, "Stella Walsh" under
which she is running now.

WRESTLERS MOVE
NEAR FINALS AT
OLYMPIC GAMES

!. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2. W.H-
Catch-as-catch-can wrestlers of the
tenth Olympic games moved into
the upper brackets of eliminations
today as two champions of the 1928
games sat watching on the sidelines.
Second and third round matches
we're to be held today in all divis-
ions.
Because many holds used by pro-
fessionals in this country are barred
under Olympic rules, catch-as-
catch-can or free style wrestling
depends largely on contestants
strength, Olympic officials ex-
planned, and therefore husky en-
tries from the Scandinavian coun-
tries are favorites.
Oxvald Kapp of Estonia, light
weight champion, was eliminated
after he lost decisions in both first
and second round matches.

ner of the light heavyweight title
in the Amsterdam games, suffered
defeat when he was thrown by

ANNOUNCER GIVES
'HEEBIE JEEBIES'
TO PERFORMERS
BY GEORGE ii. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2. - Every
good act has a mystery element
SO the 1892 olympic games has a
man who insists on "Tush-Tush-
ing" some 1000 athletes and from
$4,000 to 100000 spectators daily.
He's the gent in charge of the
public address system and he keeps
shouting quiet please" at the very
best and crucial moments.
The suggestion has been made
that he thinks those paying to get
into Olympic stadium want to hear
pins drop, which doesn't sound
reasonable at 81 per seat.
Another thinks he's afraid the
starting guns don't work except
when things are peaceful and quiet.
You can have your own guess but
a good hunch is that he has set
himself up as ali unofficial handi-'
cap to the competitors of the 48 ma
tions in the tenth Olympiad.
When he figures it's about time
to handicap a contestant he steps
to the microphone and bellows
quiet please" and the below, as
it comes through the 1852 loud
speakers of the amplifying system,
is loud enough to awaken even
the official scorers.
This is a sure way to make the
jumper miss his jump, the javelin
thrower trip and fall and the sprin-
ter jump the gun.
And the announcer's proposition
is more sporting one than the
handicaps imposed in horseracing,
polo and golf.
In horserace, for instance, you
know that DR.. Wilson will carry
100 pounds, although what good
the knowledge does you is some
thing else. In polo you know this
player is a 10 or or goal man
and in golf it's a certain number
of strokes, all decided before the
competition begins. The big differ
ence in the announcer's system is
that you knever know who is going
to be Handicapped, or why, and if
any.
Thr0wer Misses
Just to show you how his system
works there's the case of Federico

Kleger, whose previous throws
wrecked bungalows and sent specta-
tors to cover, had a perfect bead on
half dozen officials. He was just
about to let go of his 16-pound
hammer when the. announcer yelled
"quiet please" and Kleger missed
the entire group, very bad per-
formance for a man of the Argen-
tina's ability.
The announcer's handicap worked
fine, too, in the first heat of the
steeplechase trials.
His quiet please" rang through
the stadium just as four men poised
to take the water jump. Three of
the men were so startled they fell

ODDS AND ENDS
ON ENTRIES FOR
OLYMPIC GAMES
BY NORMAN B. DEUEL.
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2. U.P)-
The japanese have taken leaf
from the book of American football
fans and established the only
cheering section in Olympic sta
dium. When their men enter they
receive a rousing cheer, and when
a japanese wins an event, the stands
blossom with frantically waved flags
depicting the rising sun.
Carl Hulmer, long a resident of
Los Angeles, had not seen his
brother, Josta, for 20 years. He
read newspaper account that JOS
ia Hulmer was trainer of the
Swedish team. Carl sent a tele-
gram to Olympic Village; it was
translated for Josta and happy re-
union followed.
Ticket scalping will not be toler-
ated at the games. The first to
be apprehended by watchful Off
GERS was Burton w. Barnes, Uni
versity of Washington track star.
When he told the court he only
sold tickets he had purchased for
his parents after the latter failed
to appear, a $40 fine was suspend
ed.
The Olympic games lack the un-
expected, complains Sidney Frank
lin, Brooklyn, N. Y, boy who made
good fighting bulls in Spain. Never
the less he came across the contin-
ent to see them. "Now take bull
fighting" said Franklin. There
you have an animal pitted against
man. Anything might happen"
Even Tolan thought Metcalfe had
won the 100-meter dash yesterday
in that grand mixup at the finish.
1t took the camera to show the
closeness of Tolan's victory. 1t was
just by two inches. Thinking he
had lost, Tolan turned to Metcalfe,
took his hand and congratulated
him.
You can still eat pie, keep late
hours and be an Olympic hero to
your grandchildren. For SO cents
an itinerant photographer will pho
tograph you with your head on the
body of sprinter shown against
an Olympic background.
Taking advantage of the last few
days rems.ning before the gates
will be closed until the Olympic
rowing races, crowds line the banks
and fill the bleachers of the Long
Beach Marine stadium to watch the
Leander eight from Canada and Ky
Ebright's Golden Bear crew. The
gate will close tomorrow until the

EASY THING FOR
QUAKER OUTFIT

NEW YORK, Aug. 2. U.P) - The
leading Pittsburgh Pirates may be
poison for most clubs in the Ma
tional league but they're just a
wholesale diet for the Phillies who
have beaten them 10 times in IA
starts this season.
Burt Shotton's outfit made it
three straight over the Corsairs
yesterday, Is to 5. This chopped
down the Pirates advantage to five
games over tn Cubs.
The Phillies pounded four Pi-
rate pitchers for % hits, while the
veteran Flint Rhem limited the
Gibsonmen to II. Virgil Davis led
the Phillies' attack with a home
run, a double and two singles, ac-
counting for six tallies.
The fourth-place Braves received
another setback when they lost,
to 2, to the Cardinals. Tex Carl
ton limited the Braves to seven
hits, while Brown and Cantwell
were found for II.
They were. the only National
games scheduled.
In the American league, the
Yankees maintained their first
place lead of eight games by
trouncing the Tigers for the third
consecutive time, 6 to 8. Babe
Ruth walked four times and struck
out once.
The runner-up Athletics admin
istered their third straight beating
to the Indians, to O. Rube Wal
