stomps RefIecting Sports and Games
Are FNorites of Many Collectors
Philotelic News
By jones Waldo Fowcett

.
One Of the most interesting
aspects Of the worlds favorite
hobby Is that Of collecting
and Studying-Stamp relating
to healthful sports and games.
Thousands of philatelists Of all
grades and ages are develop
ing topical albums and scrap
books in the recreational field.
This phase of stamp activity
traces back to the revival Of
the Olympic Games in Athens
in 1896. The postal authorities
Of Greece brought out for that
occasion a series Of II adj
hesives Of classic design. OF
these, the lower values fea-
tured a famous Wrestlers
group and the Discobolus Of
-Myron: the higher q Pallas
Athene vase. chariot driving.
the Stadium with the Aero
polls on the skyline. the Hermes
Of Praxiteles. the Victory Of
Paeonius and a view Of the
Acropolis and the Parthenon.
So popular was the premier
set that the Greek post Office
issued a second series Of SINH
lar antique design in 1906,
the subjects including: Apollo
throwing the discus, Atlas car
rying the universe and Hercu-
les offering the Apples of Hes
perides. Hercules struggling
with Antaeus, the Goddess Of
Victory and attendants sacri-
ficing at the Games and a
sculptured footrace.
France followed suit in 1924
with four Olympic labels,
listed as 10c, Allegory of the
Olympiad at Paris; Csc, the
Trophy: SOC. Milo Of Crotona
and soc, Victorious Athlete.
Next came 8 semi-postal
stamps of the Netherlands for
the Games at Amsterdam in
1928-rowing, fencing. soccer.
yachting, putting the shot,
running, riding ana boxing.
The United States then
brought out a &c carmine
rose, ski jumper. commemora-
tive for the winter Olympics
at Lake Placid. N. Y. and a
Sc violet, runner crouched at
starting mark, and a Sc blue
discus thrower for the sum-
mer Olympics at Los Angeles
in 1882.
Four years later Germany
produced stamps illustrating
skating. soccer, diving, fenc-
ing, sculling, torch running,
javelin throwing, horizontal
bar work and the steeplechase
form Of horse racing. This

sequence was a hit from the
moment of its release and
still is sought by collectors.
A like observation applies to
the 1948 Olympic adhesives
of Switzerland picturing ice
hockey and skiing, the Olympic
symbol against a sunburst and
the same emblem against a
snowflake. Norway released
three labels depicting a skater
and a snow scene for the Win
ter Games of 1852, while Fin
land distributed four repre-
senting a diver and football
players in connection with the
18th Olympiad proper in the
summer Of that year.
Meanwhile, many other
countries adapted the Olympic
idea for less universal yet very
interesting purposes. The Co
lombian Republic, for instance.
produced in 1885 a series OF
stamps to publicize the Ma
tional Olympic Games at Bar
ranquilla. the various denomi-
nations illustrating soccer, dis
Gus throwing, foot racing, ten
mis-, hurdling, baseball and
swimming. With a compare
BILE intention, Japan issued
four labels for the Second
Peoples Athletic Meet at
Kanazawa City in 1947-the
set including hurdling, diving.
discus throwing and volley-
ball. Later Nipponese sport ad-
hesives added ice skating, ski
jumping, hockey, shot-putting,
soccer. pole vaulting, steeple-
chasing, javelin throwing and
acquatic racing to the available
list. Also a spirited BY rose
brown composition entitled
"GymnaSt on Rings"
Some Of the most beautiful
of the postal adhesives Of
Austria have dealt with sports,
the Ski Concourse sets of 1888
and 1896 being among the
number. For horse racing en-
thusiasts, the Vienna govern
ment brought out a handsome
series for the Prize Race in
1916 and one single Semi-pos-
tai. Race Horse and Rider"
in 1947. Germany, paren-

ceremony. Try for a shot Of
the bridegroom placing the
wedding band on her finger
and. Of course snap the kiss
at the close Of the ceremony.
After this catch a shot down
the aisle as the wedding pro-
ceSSfon on files toward the
church door. Then wait at
the curb for one or two shots
Of bride and groom as they
enter their car and leave for
the reception.
Receiving Line
If your plans have been well
made you will now be ready to
go ahead with taking pictures
of the bride and groom and
others, including the members
Of the wedding party. The
receiving line should also re-
ceive your attention. After
this make a number Of shots,
using flash, of general scenes
at the reception, including
long shots of the guests,
parents of the bride and
groom, dancing and all the
rest that makes a good pic
torial wedding story.
Don't overlook that impor-
tant shot as the cake is being
cut nor the one as the bridal
bouquet is tossed to the brides
maids. Finally. see to it that
you have enough film left to
take two or three pictures as
the couple leave for their
honeymoon.
Once the pictures have been
taken you will have just begun.
The big job of processing the
films and making up a set of
proofs should be attended to
at once so that the pictures
will be ready when bride and
groom return. They will be
among the first things the
happy couple will want to see
and it will be up to you not to
diSappoint them.
