Dirty Journalism Crops Up.

THE story printed in a Polish paper

but it's about as clean job of dirty
journalism as you could imagine. 1t

opponents of all varieties, who mistook

is one caution: If the American team
had not brought along black auxil-
iary, it would look dark for them. Then

GAMES BRING OUT
MUCH LLFEEL|NG
Unfair Journalism Is Among
Manifestations-HitIer
for Nordics Alone.
BY JOHN LARDNER.


n Jew YORK. August lit is OBJ
nj vious by now that the Olympic
" games in Berlin have gene
rated more bad feeling than
any three bush league Balkan wars
Perhaps that's the wrong way to say
it. The bad feeling was there in the
first place, and the Olympic games
have brought it TO the surface as
quickly and neatly as though they had
been staged for the purpose.
These games (modern version) were
designed as a sort of international
picnic and clambake, with marshmal-
-toasting on the side The motto
was "brotherly love or bust" Well,
brotherly love has run a bad second,
and things are busting right and left.
1t is no use kidding anybody with the
idea that the folks went to Berlin
this year to toast marshmallows.
The ugliness is not entirely interna-
tional, though international ugliness is
running very high in the open mar
ket, and the most interesting event Of
the Olympic program is the race to
see which country can get to Spain
first with the biggest load of shells.
But it's not just a matter Of nation
hates nation. Brother also hates sis
ter, and papa hates mama, and coach
hates athlete. and the newspaper men
Of our country: in their stern, impair
tial way, give fair imitation of hating
the young men and women who win
medals for another country.

Fifteen contestants went down In one
wild heap. piled in layers like wheat
cakes. The groans, curses, cuts,
smashed wheels, bewildered judges,
medley of blood, broken iron and babel
lifted this event into a feature spot
1t was a big day for the doctors and
liniment and bandage sellers.
I talked with Lawson Robertson,
head coach Of the United States track
and field team. and asked his ranking

and . 100 per cent sportsman.
"Lovelock's 1,500-meter run and
Morris decathlon are the next two of
the Olympics' greatest feats."
Robertson had been criticized for
not picking Stoller for the 100-meter
relay. II knew my neck was out" he
said, "but I picked what I thought
was the fastest team. The answer Is
we broke the world record. also
was criticized for not picking williams
and Luvalle for the 400-meter relay.
But both were tired and not keen to
run any more"
talked with Lovelock just before
he left for England. 1T happened to
be the best day Of my career" he
said. II could have run faster, but ]
run races to win, not to break records. "
Lovelock eased down and looked
back over his shoulder twice in break
ing the record. Narrow-shouldered
and thin-chested, not much bigger
than q thin match, Lovelock said he
hoped to repeat in the British games

War Tame by Comparison.


THIS sermon is beginning to sound
a bit heavy. I'd better explain
at once that have been kidding from
start to finish. The Olympic games
are the perfect foundation for inter-
national fellowship and good will.
The sight of all those flags floating
together in the breeze is one which
brings a thrill to the heart and .
lump to the throat.
If the audience sometimes boos one
flag or another, it is done in q spirit
Of wholesome fun. If the Polish press
calls Helen Stephens this name or
that, the Polish press is simply trying
to spice up the competition. If Mr..
Brundage fires woman swimmer, he
is acting from spiritual motives. II
a Negro runner is kicked and pocket
ed at the start of a race, it's the old
Olympic ideal of give and take.
But I still think q Balkan war Ia
a honeymoon by contrast.

THE concensus around the pool is
that Jack Medica of Seattle comes
the closest to matching their grace
full progress, but it was doubted that
he would be able to keep it up as long
or as fast as they in the final of the
400-meter tomorrow.
There was less mystery about the
superiority of Dick Degener of De-
troit and Marshall Wayne of Miami,
who were making closed corpora
ton out Of the diving competition.
, First. they are handsomer and have
finer figures than nearly all their
rivals. That influences the women
spectators and maybe the judges, who
cannot remain deaf to their vociferous
applause.
Second, the Americans have better
stage presence, posing more impress
