Pool Less Useful
The swimming pool is turning
out to be less useful than first
thought, with the mermen and
maids now using it only to prac-
tice the leg kick.
Even the divers had to give up
after Marjorie GeStrong banged
her head slightly on the bottom
of the pool. Now they are "dry''

jumping onto mats.
It now looks like the Manhattan

required for the reception at Ham

morning workouts, to enable the
athletes to become used to morn
ing competition at Berlin.

The giant Indian who in 1912,
after winning the Decathlon and
Penthalon at the Olympic games
in Stockholm. stood before King
GuStave and heard him say, "Sir,
you are the greatest athlete in the
world" would like to be a member

WIMBLEDON, England, July
21.-For the first time since 1924
Australia, once supreme in the
tennis world, won her way into
the Davis Cup challenge round
today when Vivian McGrath de-
feated Heiner Henkel, of Ger
many, for the third victory Of
the inter-zone finals.
Australia will now play Great
Britain for the coveted interna-
tional trophy.
McGrath won in four sets, 6-3,
81, Ga, Ga. Australia had
won yesterdays doubles match
and one Of two singles matches
Saturday, and his victory made
the score 8 to !. Outcome of q
final singles match between Baron
Gottfried Won Cramm, German
champion, and Jack Crawford, be-
came irrelevant.
McGrath emerged as the hero Of
the clash, having been substituted
into the doubles match yesterday
as a result of Adrian QuiSt's hay
ing twisted his ankle Saturday,
and having been substituted for
QuiSt again today against Henkel.

ASKED II snyder would nave q
voice in directing the Olympic
squad, Robertson said, after max
ing his official coaching selection:
II would oppose it."
OWENS COACH BLAMED
Robertson thinks Owens has
been hitherto asked to do too
much, and he blames Snyder. The
Ohioan is the main hope Of Amer
lea on the track, so Robertson
will get the onus If Owens fails.
Snyder is paying for his own
passage. So is Carl Olsen, Of
Pittsburgh, who has been assigned
to handle Johnny Woodruff, 800
meter runner; also Francis WEIGH,
coaching Archie San Romani, and
Brutus Hamilton, guiding Archie
Williams and Glenn Cunningham.
Other coaching jobs went to E.
c. Hayes, of Indiana, who will d.
rect Don Lash and some Of the
other runners and steeplechasers;
Dean Cromwell, of Southern Cali
fornia, with Frank Wykoff and
nine other of Cromwell's own men;
George v. Brown, Of Boston, mara
thon runners and walkers, and Lee
Bartlett, of Detroit, javelin.
Bartlett, making his third
Olympic trip, represents q de-
parture from precedent, for he is
himself a member of the javelin
team he has been named to coach.
Never before in American Olympic
history has an athlete been chosen
mentor also.
Coaches Sprinters
Robertson will coach the sprint
erS and the 400-meter relay team.
Fred Tootel, of Rhode Island State,
1924 hammer-throw winner, is
along, but may not coach that
event.
Jesse Owens is recuperating from
his attack of laryngitis, but still
has head cold and is being kept
in leash, although he has been
permitted to take a few practice
runs around the deck.
Jack Torrance, whom rumor had
loafing, disproved the story by a
loss of 10 pounds, bringing his
weight down to 30S, nearly his
best poundage, although he does
not intend to start serious train
ing for the hammer throw until
he reaches Berlin.

on the other hand, have put on

BARNEY ROSS, welter-

in a 10-round fight at Crit
fifth Stadium tomorrow
night, wasn't fooling as he
wound-up his training at the
ball yard. He had Buster

and too far out to continue
sparring, as shown in the

a left to Mickey Pages mid

At least, that was the i'm
preston registered with the
little knot of fight fans who
foregathered at Griffith Sta.
dunn yesterday afternoon to see
Ross taper off his training for
his first appearance in the Dis.
trict Of Columbia.
Ross obliged the onlookerS with
two exceptionally speedy rounds
with Mickey Page and Buster
Wages, respectively, knock in G
Wages to the canvas with q steam
ing left hook and then grabbing
him in the cradle of his right arm,
as Wages buckled to the floor.
CrouUd Takes Notice
Muffled "ohs" and "ahs" came
from the chosen few who were per.
mitted to see the workout, as
Barney dropped his spar mate.
The wallop was equally as hard as
FUR often uses, and FUR is com
monty accounted the more terrific
hitter of tomorrow nights antago-
niStS.
Then Ross turned to and tore
off several minutes Of shadow
boxing, followed by some high and
mighty rope skipping that would
do credit to a dancing class pro-
feSSor.
Oh, that Ross can do something
besides fight. He's q fancy rope

He knows more skipping lore

the buck-and-wing as the rope

I mention this to leave with you
an impression Of the grace Of body
and foot that the young Chicago
Hebrew possesses. Going through
that rope routine, Ross proved
himself just about as light and
airy on his feet as an Earl Carroll
Vanityette.
The boy was not just in there
doing didoes to amuse his obServ'
ers. The common little piece OF

An international 'David-and-Go-

around the blood-red pylons that

death at Mines field on the flats

Twenty racing planes, many OF

After two days of testing, air
experts had marked the field
down to two widely dissimilar en-
