Today's Sport Parade
By Henry McLenore United Press Stan COrrespOndent)

Berlin, July 3i. (UP)-I travelled over tho full olympic marathon course of % miles, 3eb yards today, and I am convinced that 1t was laid out by Herr and Frau Devil thern- selves with c couple of their high ranking fiendS as consulting on. gineers.
 They built it by tying together two dozen "last miles" and then Sprink- ling it with enough tortures to make tho Spartan boy with the fox m hiB vest, yell "unclei"
 Had Napoleon had to come back on it from Moscow, he still would be In the city limits. I covered the course in on automobile, but even 70 I was 50 tired at the finish, could. mt have raised my arms to Hell Hitler if I had been promised Q pair of swastika cufflinks and tic pin to match. Honestly, just think Ing of what the 00-odd marathon runners of the world will have to endure in pursuit of the laurel halo, raised blisterB on my feet and doubts in my mind as to their
 
 sanity. Course Brutal
 The marathon course iB brutal in every way. Take texture Of the footing for example. For most or the 20 miles, tt is cobble stone, cob' ble stone of hardness and roughneSB that would make even Q resolute percheron whinny for c foot tub. The course iS bordered by lush grass but the runners have been told that to run on the grass iB to court BuBs pension, And oh tho flendiSh cun- ming which went into tho selection of c route for tho courscl About three mile sfroln tho start, iust when the boys will begin to break out with burning feet, the course swings along tho Havel river. For miles they will have to pound along hot, sweaty, and tired, only c few yards from an inviting beach where bathers sit with tho cool wa ters breaking over them, and gay parties recline in easy chairs on boat decks.
 And, stili more tantaliSing, miles of the course arc lined almost solid with beer gardens. Imagine how tho poor devils will feel within after IS miles of logging it under . bliB- tering sun, their mouths filled with cotton, their insides burning up, and their arms and legs almost dropping off from wearinegs, when they pass Q shaded terrace dotted with big tables and umbrellas and with SteinS and steins of cool, lovely beer lift- ing beautiful snowwhite heads.
 Tortuous Marathon
 Nothing has been overlooked to make 1t for and away the most tor- tuous marathon journey in history. One stretch leads through Q natural park where deer abounds. When Q runner is about to keel over with weariness, the sight of frisky deer bouncing along on inercurial feet isn't calculated to make him feel any fresher.
 And, 1t Is all hills. The most dia-

HOAG COLLIDES WITH DIMACCIO
 FIELDING BALL
Yankee OutfleIder Suffers Blood ClOt on Brain;
 Operation Looms

Detroit, July Si--Myril IEoag, Yankee outflelder, was in the Har- per hospital last night suffering from Q blood clot on the brain. Af- ter x.ray pictures revealed the blood ciot permission to operate on Hoag was sought of Manager Joe Mccarthy of the Tanks, who re. fused to assume the responsibility. Efforts to communicate with Hoag's wife in Sacramento, Calf. were un- successful.
 Before leaving for Cleveland fol. lowing yesterdays game with the Tigers, Mccarthy assigned Johnny Broaca to look after Hoag at the hospital, instructing him to phone to Cleveland last night with news of the latest developments in the case. Mccarthy has arranged to reach Mrs. Hoag on the long-distance phone to seek her permission for the operation, which was thought necessary.
 Hoag's injury developed unexpect- edly yesterday morning ct tho Yan- kees' hotel. He collided with Joe DiMagglo in the sixth inning of Tuesdays game while fielding fly ball from the bat of Goose 0oslIn but played out tho inning before retiring in favor of Jake Powell.
 Wednesday Hoag reported no iil effects and played the entire game against the Tigers, making some rec markable catches and hitting q sins gle. Yesterday morning, however, hC required treatment, after sleeplesa night. leo packs were applied to the players head and it developed that through this treatment Hoag was unconscious. His removal to Q hospital was ordered.
 Dr. William Keane, in charge of the case, called in . brain specialist after x.rays had been taken. An alarming report of Hoag's condition reached the Yankee bench during yesterdays game and Manager Mo- Carthy instructed Secretary Mark Roth to phone Mrs. Hoag in Call. fornia.
 "Tho hospital authorities sought my permission to operate on Hoag but didn't feel that I should shoulder this responsibility and in- structod Mark Roth to communicate with Mrs. Hoag," said Mccarthy

RENZO THROUGH

Former Crosby Back DrOp-
 ped For Scholastic Deficiency
(specIal tO The DcmocraD

Especial tO The DemOcraU
 Philadelphia, July 3i.-olenn 8. (Pop) Warner faces tho task Of building complete backiield ct Temple University this fall, for all four of his regular ball carriers in i03B are no longer in college.
 Glen Frey, first-string quarter. back for two years, and Filfrcd Longsderff, speedy right halfback, have been graduated. Dave Smukler, the greatest fullback in owl grid history, quit college last spring and Vince Renzo, dazzling left halfback, was unable to maintain the proper scholastic efficiency and has been dropped from college. To add to Warmers woes, Johnny Kusko, who turned in . splendid effort while pinch hitting for Smukler when he was injured, has also been dropped from the unlversity's roll.
 The old Fox is banking on sub stitutes and freshman aces to i'll the berths, although he is going to have trouble in replacing Smukler and Kusko at fulback, and Renzo ct left half.
 But Pop has faced like situations many times before in his 70 years of coaching and the "old man" man. ages to come up with Q winner just |lwhen the cards arc stacked against him.
 Ever since Temple University has had football teams there never has been c member of the grid squad to wear No. l3, but Gordon (Pete) Smith, leading candidate for the left halfback post, is going to sport the numeral during the i0S0 cam paign.
 Pete has no fear of any jlnxes. for he never has been injured nor missed . day of practice in three years. Tn fact, he is the only foot ball player of junior ranking who holds such Q record. smith Is Q resident of Lebanon. Pa. He is iig- ured to make owl grid followers fore gct the deeds of Vince Renzo, the sparkling halfback of the iOS5 cam nalgn who has been dropped from college because Of scholastic dcn- cicncy.

The Reds won the first skirmish, 5-0, with Q direct attack that brought out little opposition, but the Phillies rallied to regain their losses in the second encounter and gain thrilling b-4 victory.
 Moore Doubles
 The Reds drew first blood in this struggle when they shrapnelled Benge for Q run at the start on doubles by Cuyler and Riggs, but the Phillies came back in their half with c three-run bombardment that almost drove Hollingsworth out of the trenches.
 Moore doubled, Camilli walked, Wilson singled and spEry doubled. Oh, man-three runs.

 Tn the initial game, Wild Bill Hallahan, former Cardinal south- paw, was the whole show. The tiny sIdewlnder limited the Wilgonmen to eight hits and walked only two men to pitch the fourth shutout of the year at Baker Bowl.

AACl8kly WILL OpGkl SLlG HkG8bSDb
 And when Der Fuehrer says 2 hereby pronounce the eleventh Olympiad open," Germany will have completed . painstaking task of or- ganization.
 Germany began preparing for the 1e30 Olympics more than six years ago, and today its job was flnished "a far-6ung athletic set-up that even surpasses the Los Angeles Olympics of Io32 which all had agreed ct the time would never again be equaled.
 DeCorntlOns COlOrfuI
 Berlin was dressed up today like no other capital of the world. It's Carnival spirit even outrivals that of New orleans during Mardi dras: New York on New Years eve and Louisville on derby day.
 Never since Baron Pierre dc Cou- bertin organized the first modern Olympiad in Athens, Greece, in i000 has the site of an olympic games been So tinseled, glitter and gaudy as that of the show which will open tomorrow.
 4 million or more huge swestika banners futter throughout Berlin. Thousands of flags of ell nations-- the tri-color of France, the rising sun of Japan and the stars and stripes-hang everywhere. Traffic on Unter den Linden is 60 heavy 1t takes I6 minutes to walk Q couple of blocks. Y m
 Tn the midst of such . smother ing of decoration and swirl of naval and military display, it's almost i'm. possible to calmly contemplate the actual games themselves despite tho fact that they promise the greatest athletic competition, ever seen in the Olympics. l
 The reason for alisthe ponap and ceremony is that the Berlin games, unlike all others, are an expression of . state-a showpiece for the glc9ification of the third reich and Adolf Hitler.
 Costs 924,20O,OO0 ,.r}
 While the games cost Germany some 00,000,0 marks (424, 200 ,000) even before the first competing ath- IetO arrived in Berlin, none of that money was spent for intangibles. Every building and stadium erected for the games Is Q permanent gtruc- ture for future military and sport- ing purposes.
 The olympic village on the out- skirts of Berlin, for example, will be used as barracks for the army. The Olympic stadium, which ac- commodities li0,000 spectators, will be used for Maxi rallies and German sport festivals.
 For other unestimated millions spent for propaganda purposes, ad- miniStration of the games and other reasons, the third reich will get back as much in foreign currency.
 Can't Secure Lodging
 Dollars from America, pounds from England, and Japanese yen be- gan pouring into Berlin weeks ago. And today the spending reached c pre.garnes peak as 1t became impos- Sible to secure lodging in Berlin

conditions warrant 1t. It is an appro-
pirate moment to commend the efi1cient
and faithful work done by our foreign
service officers in Spain, both diplomatic
and consular, under extraordinarily try
ing conditions. The men Of career" like
young Mr.. Wendelin, Charge d'Affairs at
Madrid, have given notably good ac-
counts of themselves.
Having exhausted every possibility OF
removing citizens from troubled areas,
there is no valid reason why the WASH
ington government should keep warships
lowering along the war-torn coasts, with
ever present danger of such. untoward
incidents as the recent air bombing OF
the. destroyer Kane and involvement OF
the United States in international COM
plications which may any day now from
the revolution. The State Department
and the Navy between them have earned
the Nations gratitude for an excellent
Job performed under difficult and peril
Gus circumstances. Having given every
body who wants to get away from civil
war ravages and vicissitudes an oppor-
tunity to do SO, it is eminently right
that the United States should now take
action designed alike to emphasize its
neutrality and reduce to a minimum
the chance of embodiment in SPANS

"Plenty of NOthin'."

Chautauqua, N. Y, has been known
for many years as a small city of great
possibilities, but perhaps no one ever
envisioned the precise combination OF
skunk and singer which occurred there
recently.
A great audience in the open-air audi
torium is said to have gasped audibly
when the four legged animal walked on
the stage where a singer was in the mid
die of a spiritual.
The skunk looked at the singer, and
the singer looked at the skunk The
audience looked at both, and squirmed
uneasily.
The resourceful musician, who recalled
the old saw about music having the power
to soothe the savage breast, stopped
singing, then broke into another song,
called. according to the reports. u Got
Plenty of Nothin'."
The skunk had plenty of something
evidently. Casting hurried last look at
both singer and audience, the pretty lit
tie creature turned tail and Scurried for
the woods.
Maybe popular songs deserve their
popularity. after all.
