BERLIN FACES LOSS

Anti-Semitic Attitude May Bring
Shift to Rome or Toxic or
Cancellation.

The Olympic games of 1886, scheduled
for Berlin, Germany, may be trans
ferred or Cancelled because of the anti
Semitic attitude of the Hitler govern
ment, it has been indicated by Avery
Brundage, president Of the American
Olympic Committee.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Baltimore quotes Brundage, in a let

personal but unofficial opinion" that
the games will not be held in any
country where there will be nterfer-
ence with the fundamental Olympic
theory of equality of all races"
Possibilities which confront those re-
sponsible for the games are declared to
be:
First, the venue Of the games lEay
be changed from Berlin to Rome or
Toxic, the two cities that have ex-
pressed an eagerness to handle the
Olympics should they be taken away
from Germany.
Second, the games may be cancelled
as they were in 1916 when it also was
Berlin, strangely enough, that had been
picked for the Olympic city. The
World War caused this.
Third. the competing nations may
refuse to send athletes to the meet.
And as a corollary to the last item,
there is a possibility that the United
States would not participate, even if the
other nations did

1 y liantly. Ben Chapman
steals second in a cloud of
dust. Frank Crosetti, Bill Werber
and Lyn Larry battle desperately
for the post at shortstop. Lou
Gehrig plays his usual excellent
game at first base. Babe Ruth
steps about gingerly and not too
rapidly in the outf1eld and at the
plate, strikes out, pops out or rolls
out, but
The mob still follows Ruth.
1t Is Ruth the crowds wait to see at
the whistle stops as the Yankees train
goes by. 1t is Ruth the eyes Of the
railroad workers and station loungers
follow as he walks from the train to the
waiting taxicab.
1t is Ruth who knots sidewalk trandc
as he steps from the cab into the hotel
and Ruth who causes q swirl In the
lobby.
It is Ruth who draws most Of the fans
to the ball park.
DLAINLY the Babe, who has lost
I much of his speed and some Of
his power at the plate, has lost
none Of his glamour. The crowd, which
goes to see him hit the ball out Of the
lot, Is disappointed when he does not.
but that doesn't detract from its in
terest in him. 1t may be true, as cynics
point out that when the Babe is
through he quickly will be forgotten,
he remains in the game. even though
he remain so long that he barely will
be able to drag himself up to the plate
and WELD futile bat, the mob will be
there to see him do it.
Meanwhile. what Of this slowness of
the Babe afoot and the comparative
scarcity of home runs from his bat?
What does it portend. in its relation
to his part in the drive the Yankees
have launched in the direction of an
other pennant?
Part Of the curtailed effectiveness Of
the Babe is due, obviously. to the toll
time has taken of his amazing skill
and his equally amazing vitality. But
equally obvious is the fact that cau-
tion also plays a part Win, lose or
draw in these games, the Babe is of no
mind to risk breaking leg, turning an
ankle or tearing a rib with the opening
of the season just a short way off, He
will go along with his public up to a
certain point, but he will not oblige it
by risking. even in the least degree, a
crippling injury.
How good he actually is, how much
he will contribute to the Yankees this
year-this must be decided as the sea-
son progresses. 1t cannot be decided
now.

the Red Sox, generally regarded the
prize marks Of the American League.
It's not that the Red Sox summed up
radiate any great amount of class
they do seem to have more of it as a
club than heretofore, at that-but from
the start of the season the Yawkey-
Collins combine has put forth pitching
of high grade. Something good for
the Boston bunch was bound to come
Of 1t. Simply too bad 1t had to be the
Cronin crew that yielded the Red Sox
their first victory.
In their four games to date, the Red
Sox pitchers have given up only "a
hits. That in battle with the two best
Nationals deserve that rating with the
Yankees.
When club runs against that class
OF slabbing, 1t is just as likely as not
to take a wallop on the button. The
Nationals did and they have no reason
to be dismayed.

verse effect Of Al Simmons sale to the

with us and folks figured that perhaps
he softened up the pitchers for me-" he
said. Simmons is a great ball player,
one Of the greatest in the game today.
but one man can't ruin the control and
confidence Of a big league pitcher. If
he could, then the fellow isn't a big
league pitcher.
If anything, I got fewer chances to
hit because Simmons was such a pow
erful batter. They gave me plenty Of
Intentional passes last season because
Al belted one ahead of me and
was in position to score on another hit.
When that happened, pitchers seemed
to look around for an empty base, and
If there was one available, they put
me on it."
