Today,S Sports
 Parade
By HENRY McLEMoRE limited Press Stan Correspondent

Aboard s. S. Manhattan, Pier 60, North River, New York, July l5'- (UP)-ThiS crossing of the Atlantic with the American olympic team hasn't even started yet, but already I know 1t is going to be very try ing ono for us gentlemen whose ath- ietic days and, more important, ath' letic physiqueS, are buried in the past.
 knew we of the weakening arches and bobbing bay windows were in for an uncomfortable eight days when 1 puffed up the gangplank and had Q good look ct the hundreds Of athletes on board as cargo. You never saw 50 many lean, 1.-the, full- ciaested, .Stomached, steel.mus. cled young men in all your life. May be I'm wrong, but 1t seemed to me they all had touSled blonde hair, biz blue eyes, and walked with the grace of partners.
 My modification set in the mo- n,ent laid eyes on the deckful Of living Statuary. yanked in my bay window so violently my carton of Mothersill's Nal De Mer remedy flew out of my pocket, and my dou- bic chin, which had always visioned as nothing more than q bit Of pleasing plumpness, banged vicious Iy to and fro. With my breath drawn ai like . pearl diver, I ducked into my cabin and started writing this piece.
 My embarrassment, and that of the other non-athletes, is sure to mount once we're to sea. For begin- ming tomorrow the Olympians will begin practicing, which means they will exhibit their sculptured forms an earnest. They will run and jump all over the place. clad only in what are iaughingly called pants. Actually the pants are nothing more than ten cents worth of nothing loosely sewn together.
 There isn't c place, save the bar, where the non-athletes may safely relax and let their fat roll round without embarrassment. For the decks will be cluttered with runners, the corridors with jumpers, and hooks and cranieS with a varied aS- sOrtment of weight-lifterS. pistol shooters, gymnaSts and fencers. The swimming pool will be out for the noFl.athietes, for few men are brave enough to expose themselves in com- petition with the Olympic divers and swimmers. They are just TOO 0cauyifuI.
 As c result, I imagine the bar will get . heavy play from the non- athletes. For there we will be able ,e engage in . sport ct which we co fispot the Clympiang six times ahree fingers and whip 'em to sFazzie. ! understand that the bar

has been fixed up for the non. athletes just as carefully aS other parts of the boat has for the Olym- plans. We won't have any running mats or jumping pits or parallel bars, but we'll have lots of stuffed chairs, & scattering of potted palms, q crew of willing stewards, and an abundance of bottled equipment.
 The one athlete on board who Is likely to be cordially received by the non athletes is Jack Torrance, the Louisiana shot-putter. For Ms. ter Torrance Is the one living ex- ample that c wide girth isn't neces- sarily fatal to high athletic accom. plishment. Mister Torrance weighs 33O pounds, and quivers most beau- tifuily (to Us non-athletes, anyway when he walks. Better still, he ad- mits to finding pleasure in not being 50 stream.lined, and says he plans to add even more blubber. I am sure he will be welcome at any Of our gatherings.
 I hear 'em singing Auld Lang Syne up there now, and I guess I'd better go join in. Come to think Of t. though, I don't see how I can with my breath held in.

huHlIlek kbAUSp " AGWStp DHA OlGEh Csib look just aS ultra ultra as Wilfred Van Wealth himself-and not strain the bankroll doing 1t.
 By far the most popular eve. ming outfit consists of 6 white or light colored dinner jacket with black or midnight blue trousers. The jacket may be 6 washable material, such as linen, palm, beach cloth or cotton gabardine. all of which are inexpensive. Un- less they are of palm beach cloth. trousers worn with washable Jackets are usually lightweight tropical worsted, either black or midnight blue. N
 And this is the place for . word of caution against wearing the trousers of your regular tuxedo suit with the summer jacket. Trousers always wear out before coats. So If you attempt the false economy of making your regular tuxedo trousers do double duty, you'll be out of luck, come Gan. dlemas.
 C0lored Jackets Gain
 Jackets of white or cream cois orcd tropical wQrsted are also fre- quently seen, Iand there is R sprinkling of silk ones, although these arc fairly costly.
 Next to the white-top comblna. ton dinner suites of all.black or midnight blue tropical worsted are worn. These, too, are more expensive than the washables, but still within the average purse, and, of course, have the virtue of greater durability.
 Colored evening clothes are well out of the novelty class now, hay. ing received the hearty endorse ment of Palm Beach and other smart southern resorts last wil- ter. Plenty of men of the set that influences styles peacccked around In dinner jackets of tan, gray dark green, wine red and plum purple. And now there's Scarcc- ly first class shop in New York that doesn't stock them. Gray and tan are going best but this is prob ably only the leak in the heretofore black dike that will widen to c poly. Chromatic flood.
 Comfort First in Shirts
 Undoubtedly, comfort is another factor in the popularity of seiilt' formal evening clothes during the summer. The old boiled shirt airt what it used to be, and soft or seiiii- stiff bosoms arc the rule, with bodies of cool opcnwork mesh fabrics. White piquc Is the leader.
 It is shown plain, or with large box plcats, or small flat ones. Birds: eye and lczcnge effects are well liked too, some of them with collars to match. Many other materials are used for evening wear. including silk, soft batiste, inc broadclcth and even regular oxford. with collar at' tached. one leading Alcp offers shirts with pastel tinted bosonAS 70.

Grantsville Fireman Injured
Fighting Salisbury Blaze

One fireman was injured in $780,
900 fire which destroyed the Knecht
Foundry in West Salisbury, Pa, last
Friday.
The fire reduced the two-story struc-
ture of wood and brick to a skeleton,
despite the efforts of fremen from
Grantsville and Meyersdale, who bat
tied the blaze for more than five
hours.
Ralph Glotfelty, Grantsville volun-
teer fireman, was severely burned on
his face and hand when a barrel of oil
exploded.
The fire evidently started in the cab
of a locomotive which was in the
foundry undergoing repairs.
The building was 100 by 300 feet
and housed valuable machinery. 1t
was first built by the father of w. M.
Knecht, the present owner, in 1880,
and enlarged in 1912. Only $4,000

ing.
