Brundage Asks Joe Williams to Correct Common Misbelief.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer

YORK, July 25—“I wish you would set the public right on one matter,” said Avery Brundage before embarking with the Olympic team for the Berlin games.

“There seems to be a common belief that the Olympic fund is used

to defray the expenses of the offi-.

clals as well as the athletes. That is not true. We pay our own way, and some of us pay it not merely on the trip to the games, but several times in attending international Olympic theetings as well as in our travel about our own country in

National League Joe Medwick is back in his full

Cardinals and this week is coasting along toward the batting title. Paul Waner, from whom Medwick regained the lead, has abdicated for the time being at least, ’ Medwick tied the National League record for consecutive hits with 4 perfect day in July 19th’'s doubleheader—seven straight—and three more the next day for a total of 10. Medwick is the pacemaker in hits, 135; in total bases, 212; runs batted in, 97, and is tied with Billy Herman of the Cubs in doubles at 33 each. He's pretty well up in runs scored, but in this department he leaves the honors to his teammate, Pepper Martin, 82. Pepper still trails Stu Martin in stolen bases, 15-17.

quoted at this Williams time because other fallacies or exaggerations as to athleti¢ finances and financing are being gossiped about as sports officials seek a more sensible plan than last-minute subscription drives to provide for the Olympic teams of the future. From the annual report of the A. A. U. for the last fiscal year one can learn that the total receipts for that period were $57,220.96 the total disbursement $30,153.41, leaving a surplus of $27,067.55. And that this surplus was exceptionally large— nearly three times greater than that of the preceding year. And it readily can be seen that the total for four years, even if the entire amount were turned over for that purpose, would fall far short of the amount required for Olympic expenses. ” o # HIS report itemizes the dispursements and reveals that there are only six full-time, salaried employes in the national organization. One is Daniel J. Ferras, secretary treasurer; another, J. Lyman Bingham, assistant to the president, and the other four are clerks or stgnographers. The six represent a total outlay of $19,369.67. Similar reports are available in each of the 35 district associations of the A. A. U. Few of their numper have salaried employes, the wotk being done entirely by those devoted to the interest of amateur sports. ” » » T {s true that, under its sanction, profitable sports ventures, such as the Millrose A.

Mrs. Jarrett Drops Battle for ‘Retrial’

Swimrer Issues Scathing -

Attack on Olympic Team Officials.

BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor

BERLIN, July 25.—Mrs, Eleanor Holm Jarrett gave up her fight for reinstatement on the United States Olympic team today, charging that President Avery Brundage and other officials “want to.save their faces and I have to be the goat.”

Mrs. Jarrett, expelled from the:

team Thursday night for violation of training rules—mainly attendance at cocktail parties—and unsuccessful ‘in her pleadings for another chance, said she would remain in Berlin, “Ill stay in Berlin indefinitely,” the 1932 Olympic backstroke swimming champion said, “although 1

Thursday night had said there was “no hope” of a reprieve. : ] It Was No Secret : “I just can’t take myself sway “" 'sS surely a tough one: to swallow—but what the heck!” . The formal statement said: “I never made any secret of the fact that I like a good time and that I am particularly fond of champagne. “Every one knows that, including the American Olympic Committee. Newspapers published my sentiments on the subject during the Olympic tryouts July 11-12 in New York. “Why they had to wait until we were in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean before deciding my conduct

“There were at least a hundred offenders on the boat, one way or I'm not attempting to condemn the others. They are my friends. They were just as innocep ‘as. 1.” rs. Jarrett said many of the

3 other athletes stayed up late aboard ?|the. steamer and violated training

rules. She added: “Not only was social activity on the upper deck such that the ath, letes as a whole received scant attention from the committee but official members of the Olympic party itself disgraced themselves during a performance given for the benefit of the athletes.” Mrs. Jarrett’s reference to a performance was an amateur show held aboard ship in which many of the athletes participated.
