recommend severance of diplomatic
relations with both Mexico and
Russia.

companied the campaign of the pres

beliefs in Mexico and providing for
the conduct of hearings by the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations of the
United States Senate and receiving

Joe WRONG TWICE,

A S A boxing judge Joe Louis Is
~ remarkable heavyweight
~ fighter. The Detroit destroyer,
4 seated at the ringside, saw
some good battling last night at the
ball yard before the boxers got up
to his own weight class, but he could
not pick a winner.
Twice the youthful colored clouter
who was having his last bit Of fun
before going into training for his
clash with Max Baer in New York
next month attempted to call the
turn, but on each occasion Joe was
outguessed by the referee and the
two judges at the ringside. Then
he settled in his chair to enjoy the
evening.
Joe appeared to get as much kick
from the goings on in the ring as
any other of the $500 looking on at
sponsored by the colored Elks in con-
vention here. He even managed to
crack a smile when he was haled to
the roped arena to be presented as
''the forthcoming champion of the
world
But Joe would not talk. His speech
was made for him by Bill Bojangles
Robinson, the great tap dancer, who
along with Jesse Owens, Ohio States
dusky sprint marvel, and a host of
grand lodge officials of the colored
Elks also were introduced from the
ring. Bojangles cracked breezy joke
that Joe probably never heard, for
the fighter was climbing through the
ropes before the jester had made
his point.

Rowan, Cross Stage Hot Scrap.
TT WAS the semi-final between Meyer
Rowan, New Yorker scaling 1882
pounds, and Tommy Cross, Philadel-
phia flash weighing 1913, that gave the
crowd its greatest ring treat. Bounding
from their corners at the first bell
these boys began swinging fast and
they maintained the dizzy pace smack
to the finish.
Rowan scored heavily in the early
going with rapier right and his blows
landed cleanly, too. Down through the
fifth round the New Yorker looked
the winner. But Cross, the better
boxer, recovered to give Meyer a lot
of trouble the remainder Of the way.
Had Cross a sound wallop he would be
a dangerous foe for any fighter in his
weight class.
This was one of the two bouts in
which Louis guessed poorly. He
picked Rowan as the winner from the
outset and at the finish was sure the
dark New York lightweight would get
the call. But each of the three decid-
ing officials voted a draw and a fair
decision it seemed to be.
Louis appeared to many in the
throng and to number of the news
paper clan at the ringside to be right
IN his choice of Phil McQuillan as
victor in the first of the eight-round
mills. Phil, who came out of Chicago
to become one of the Detroit demons

boxer and seemed to get over more

Associated Press Sports Editor.


n YEW YORK, August 28-The
nj primary purposes Of the
" Olympic games, organized
a and conducted quadrennially
with the aim of promoting interna-
tional good will, as well as clarifying
individual achievement in athletics,
have been dealt a severe blow by the
reaction in the United States to Na1
Germany's athletic policies.
1t Is too far in advance Of the
games now to gauge the final effect,
as well as impossible at this time to
say to what extent Americans will
participate in the Olympic cham
pionships. The German Olympic Com
mittee has the entries of 48 countries
and expects 5000 men and women, a
record number, to compete in 10
branches of sport during the first two
weeks of August, 1886. These figures
are impressive. So are the German
preparations.
1t may seem unfortunate to many
leaders, including President Avery
Brundage Of the American Olympic
Committee, that the main purposes
should be sidetracked, If not over
shadowed, in this country by the OBJ
vious antagonism Of non-athletic
forces, as well as the actual threat
Of adverse action by the Amateur
Athletic Union, the president Of which,
jeremiah T. Mahoney Of New York,
has come out fatty in opposition to
sending American athletes to Berlin.
Most Serious Since '0S.
IT is nevertheless fact that this
antagonism or agitation exists. If
Brundage and his associates of the
A. o. c., as now seems likely, insist
upon going through with their Olym-
pic program and in sending to Ger
many the best available American
athletes, they might as well face the
storm now. The indications are that
they already are swinging into action
in an attempt to turn or counteract
the tide of criticism.
From an athletic standpoint, It Is
the most serious situation since this
country and Great Britain nearly
severed relations during the 1908
Olympics. That was the year that
Dorando, the game little Italian, stag
gered into the stadium and collapsed
near the finish of the marathon, only
to be lifted up and virtually carried
over the line by sympathetic officials
or bystanders. Meanwhile, little
Johnny Hayes Of New York came
romping along under his own power,
right behind Dorando. American pro-
tests split the air when officials first
gave the laurel wreath to the Italian.
Hours afterward, the award was over
ruled and Hayes declared the victor.
Prior to that incident, an Ameri-
can had been disqualified in the 400
meters for an alleged foul against the
British ace, Halswelle. The race was
ordered re-run, but the Americans re-
