GERMAN OLYMPIC MAGAZINE I Joe Reviews Official Book, Finds Art Pointing Finger at American Sportsmanship
Yankees Decried British Conduct, but Pulled ‘Fast One’ Themselves in Marathon at St. Louis Games, Retouched Photo Reveals.
BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer
EW YORK, July 21.—In one respect already, the German Olympic committee is doing things better than ever they have been done
before,
Its official publication, titled “Olympic Games 1936” and edited by Dr. Frederick Richter, surpasses anything that has come off Olympic presses in the forty years since the old sports classic was revived.
Were it only for the photography—that is; the modern photography. the magazine would stand alone among Olympic publications. Even the unschooled eye can see that an expert clicked the camera as an artist |

or majesty of the subject presented The quality is the more striking-
ly manifest as one turns from the]:
modern photography shown therein to e historical section of the magdzine and its reproductions of the der work of the past. Yet these @lder and cruder pictures of the Olympic heroes of bygone years constitute another of the magazine's appealing features. And, by way of getting to the point of this threnody, it is through one of the venerable’ snapshots in the latest issue of “Olympic Games 1936” that we. learn America’s outspoken criticism of Britist sportsmanship in connection with that most controversial Olympic incident—the Dorando-Hayes finish in the 1908 Olympic marathon in London—placed us in the relative position of the pot which called the kettle black.
» ” » WEEK or so ago, while doing a bit of Olympic fanning with James B. Connolly, famed sea-story writer and, himself, an Olympic winner in 1896, I obtained first-hand information on the Dorando-Hayes affair. Connolly functioned behind the scenes in the 1908 games. As a matter of fact, he was chiefly responsible for turning the stadium turmoil on that occasion into the more orderly and formal American protest which lifted the marathon crown from the head of Dorando, the Italian ace, and placed it upon that of Johnny Hayes, the American. - “I'm not saying Hayes was the betier marathoner,” Connolly stated. “Why, if the Italian had been left to his own devices; his would have been the most convincing triumph Olympic marathoning has known. “But Dorando’s handler, an old professional bike rider, had the idea of making victory doubly sure by feeding the Italian a shot of strychnine as they approached the stadium for the finish. “Just as Dorando entered the stadium a reaction from the drug set in and he collapsed on the track. “Some of the British field attendants rushed over to him but were warned away, and Dorando, regaining his feet, struggled on for a few more yards and fell again,
itself.
UST then New York’s Johnny Hayes appeared through the arena runway. When Johnny, wearing the American shield, trotted into view, ready to sweep around the oval and past the prostrate Italian to victory, a couple of the attendants rushed over to Dorando, picked him up and virtually threw him across the finish line before Hayes could reach that goal.” In view of these facts and long delay in recognizing America’s protest, there did seem to be real reason to cry against vaunted British sportsmanship. : zn » »
HAT 1s why onfle of the venerable snapshots in the current issue of “Olympic Games, 1936”—a snapshot which reveals an American Olympic precedent for the British action and altitudes—is most interesting.
The pictures published in this number were taken at ¢he St. Louis Olympics four years before the London games. At the top of this page there are shown Archie Hahn, the 1904 Olympic sprint champion, and Dvorak, the pole-vaulting winner, the gigantic Ralph Rose, shotput titlist. In the lower left corner there is a quaint automobile and the crew of handlers who accompanied T. J. Hicks, America’s 1904 Olympic marathon - champion, over the course. And, in the lower right corner there is a photograph bearing and supporting the following descriptive lines: “The marathon victor, Hicks, is given a ‘lift’ by his accompanying automobilists.” Except that the Hicks attendants are not putting forth the same burst of speed as was noted in Dorando’s British attendants, the Hicks snapshot of 1904 and the Dorando snapshot of 1908 are twins. Yet Hicks’ name is duly inscribed as the bona fide Olympic champion of 1804, and, so far as is known, the “lift” he received and the victory he was awarded never have been held up by the British as a reflection upon his or America’s sportsmanship.

Australians Reach Titular Cup Round
By United Press WIMBLEDON, England, July 21. —Australia’s Davis Cup team eliminated Germany today, 3 matches to 1, in their interzone tennis finals and advanced to the challenge round to meet the cup-holding English team, starting Saturday. 1 Australia clinched entrance to the challenge round for the first time since 1925 when young Vivian McGrath defeated Heiner Henkel 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 today. McGrath substituted in the first of today’s two concludin singles matches for the injured Australian champion, Adrian Quist. The players from “down under” won yesterday’s doubles and one of Saturday's two opening singles matches. Quist suffered a strained knee ligament in Saturday’s play. If he recovers before Saturday, many believe the Australians will have a good chance to capture the cup from the British team. Australia hasn't won the cup since 1919.
