BERLIN, Aug. 13.-Not the
favorite champion of Holland,
Rita Mastenbroek, but little l6-
year-old girl was my selection" to
win the women's Olympic back
stroke championship today.
My choice to take my crown
was tiny Dina Senff, who comes
from Fraulein Mastenbroek's own
Holland. "Senff," you know, in
Germany means mustard" and
this young hitherto unknown
Amsterdam lassie sure has been
living up to her name.
A Dutch swimming expert who
has been scouting and writing in
the swimming stands tipped me
off privately that Senff had been
beating Mastenbroek almost daily
in practice, which, in addition to
my own observation, seemed to
make it pretty probable Senff was
going to- smear herself all over the
Olympic and maybe the worlds
record to.
Snaps Back
I told Sam jolly, the Dutchman,
right out that I didn't believe
those homemade, world-beating
timings chalked up for Hollands
lassieS, but he socked right back
with a I'VE don't think too much
of your United States stop watches
either"
But I can tell you pretty WHY'S
Denouden never nipped the clock
for that 1:04.8 in the 100-meter
free style. That's the worlds
record they've given her, but after
her showing here / have my own
thoughts. Swimming savants
whisper to me that she made it in
one of those 25-yard baby bathtub
affairs.
In the mems back stroke there's
nothing to say except that Adolph
Kiefer has been in there fighting.
At best he had a chance for Sec
ond or maybe only third. Semi
finals are today, finals tomorrow.
NippOn'S Sons Looked Glum
I will say Nippon's sons looked
glum in the pool grandstandS yes
terday when Jack Medica swan to
his 400-meter free style title for
America. For three full days those
brown boys had been nothing but
smiles during the swimming races,
something like tigers licking their
chops in anticipation of coming
meal.
They told me they expected
their men to finish first and sec.
ond, and that they thought Jack
might have third. 1 was so glad
I clapped my hands until they
blistered when he won.
When Jack and the two second
and third place Japanese boys
stood on the tribune to collect
their Olympic wreaths even the
sun popped out like a champagne
cork, giving us swell swimming
weather and cheering me in those
deSolate moments when see for
eign girls splashing away to Olym-
pic fame and taking home the
bacon that was mine for the good
old U. S. A., if these busy-body
officials of ours had found some
thing else to do than become
Olympic moralists.

On Louis

ORANGEBURG, N. Y, Aug. 10.
Jack Sharkey today had in his
possession the inside dope" on
how to defeat Joe Louis in his 10
round brawl with the Dark De-
stroyer next Tuesday. 1t was pro-
vided by an excellent authority,
i.e., the man who knocked out
Louis, Max Schmeling.
Schmeling paid a visit to
Sharkey's camp yesterday and was
seen in an earnest huddle with the
Lith.
The Teuton saw Sharkey 60
through a nine-round workout and
was plainly impressed by the
sailors condition and boxing skill.
IL am amazed at his mental
and physical condition." Schmel-
ing said, "Jack looks better than
I've ever seen him and he seems
to have a determination he never
had before. The winner of the
fight? 1t will be the man who
gets the breaks"
POMPTON LAKES, N. J., Aug
13.-Take it from Bill Brown of
the New York State Boxing Com,
mission, if Joe Louis loses to
Jack Sharkey in their ten-round
fight Tuesday it won't be because
of lack of condition.
Brown, noted as an expert on
physical condition. looked over
Louis in his training camp here
and pronounced the Bomber in
excellent condition.
Louis continued his secret
training yesterday, boxing sew
eral rounds behind closed doors
with Paul Cavalier, veteran heavy
weight, who is familiar with
Sharkey's style. He was Sched
uled to repeat the procedure to
day.
