faded away to a wind-up of mere
display with American athletics
exceeding even most sanguine eX-
pectation.
Germany "won" the Olympics-
so far as they can be won by any
nation-for she figured her vic
tory on the number of medals &C
cumulated and the Reich, supreme
in all sorts of minor events, gar
nered no less than 10 of them.
Against this America had about
only 40 to offer, but among these
were IL out of % firSts in track
and field, the eight-oared cham
pionShip, a magnificent showing
in diving, and an Unexpectedly
high mark in the swimming pool.
The American squad came over
here to concentrate upon the i'm
portant events, and this they did
with a success both brilliant and
inspiring.
Expected to Hold Own
America had just about been ex-
pected to hold its own in swim
ming. Numerous Japanese vic
tories had been anticipated in the
mems bracket. and the Dutch girls
were expected to win the major
crowns for The Netherlands.
A lot happened as prognosti-
Gated, but some things did that
weren't in the cards. Our point

A little while previously Amer

ing at a pitched ball.
Broke Long Spell
When Bob Grove lost to New
York last week, it was the first
time the Yankees had defeated
him since June, 1884.
American League pitchers have
been finding it difficult to win
their fifteenth victory of the sea
son. Ruffing turned the trick,
August 4, while Kennedy, of the
White Sox registered on August 8,
scoring victory over Mel Harder,
of the Indians, who had lost four
in a row trying to win his fifteenth.
Yves Terrell won his fourteenth,
July 26, and since has dropped
two games. Bob Grove won his
thirteenth on July 81, and since
has been beaten twice He re-
deemed these losses, however, by
neatly shutting out our Griffmen
yesterday. Monte Pearson was in
effective in July and that slump
prevented him from being the first
to win fifteer..

ABOARD S. S. BREMEN, Aug.
15.-Ho for a sailors life without
Brundage! I'm dropping this last
article of mine on the pilot boat
from the good old Bremen, and
it's a glorious feeling to be a pas
senger in first class instead of a
down-trodden athlete below decks.
I'm popping Champagne bottle
just to hear the pop without fear
of getting trailed by our Olympic
| moraliStS.
The Statue of Liberty will be a
soothing sight after Nazi Berlin.
1 enjoyed elbowing with crown
princes, dictatorS, and all sorts,
and warming the stadium benches
as a newspaper gal.
Praises U. S. Swimmers
Naturally ached to be a COM
petitor in the pool-one thought
which still gives me a heartache.
1 gave a farewell look at the
Olympic pool and had a good cry.
don't know what I'd have done
without my daily stacks of SYM
pathetic cables, and lately letters
also have been reaching me from
America. I want to thank all
these good friends, and I assure
everybody 1 will stand for my
rights and insist upon vindication.
Two or three Of the letters I
got offered to knock the block off
those responsible for railroading
me, but I'm a peaceful soul and
will stick to the more conventional
methods of procedure.
Looking back on the Olympics,
can say it was a grand show
and I wouldn't miss it for any
thing. I'm glad I stuck to my guns
and didn't let them ship me back
the night I landed, as the Olympic
officials first intended.
Is Good
In general 1 feel proud OF our
swimmers, and particularly in
view OF the TACT the japanese mad
convinced everybody their miracle
performances in the water would
sweep all boards.
Medica. not the Mikado'S sub
ject, is the hero of the swim
stadium. I still hear those crowds
cheering curly-headed Jack. He
gave the fans the most thrilling of
all performances in the Olynpics,
and how the crowds love thrills.
Little blonde Marjorie Gestring
holds the record for autograph
fans. 1t seems the only reason
these thousands of Hitler youths
came to Berlin was to get her sig
nature.
That's all folks, except that I'll
be amongst you Thursday and
telling my side of the whole darn
circus. Auf wiedersehn!

Other Keen Managers.

A SERIES of stories of this kind is
too short to contain mention Of
all the luminaries of the managerial
racket, the make 'em-work for you
business. There should be room for
Joe Gould, blend of loyalty and
hard-driving smartness, the man who
stuck with James J. Braddock till he
reached the top and now does all Of
Jim's thinking for him; room for Billy
Gibson, who carefully built up Tun-
neys claim to q shot at Dempsey and
the world title; for the late Tom
O'Rourke, who perfected the manager
promoter system, working his own
fighters at his own clubs; for dumb
Dan Morgan, amiable and garrulous, q
Nationwide campaigner: for Sammy
Goldman, the shrewd and thoughtful
pilot of Tony Canzoneri: for William
A. Brady, and Tom Jones, and Lou
Brix, and Johnny Buckley, and Char
ley Harvey, of the walrus mustachios,
a pioneer in the construction OF the
fight stable.
You can't mention them all. though.
You can only note, as noted earlier,
that this grand old larcenous pastime
of managing fighters is becoming
streamlined and modernized. The
out-of-town telegraph racket is dead.
The foreign menace racket is not so
good any more, because the news
papers are likely to laugh new
menace out of court before he gets a
hearing.
