Parade, Lighting of Altar Feature Renewal of World Classic.

white Olympic flag, with its five ‘interlocking circles. The blare of trumpets and crash of artillery continued as the flag slowly was raised. The Olympic torch, borne by 70-year-old Spiridon Loues of Greece, winner of the marathon in the first modern Olympic games in 1896 at Athens, arrived, and it was used to light the altar which will burn day and night for the 16 days the games last.

U. S. Flag Not Dipped

Previous to the official opening was the colorful parade of nations in which the athletes marched into the stadium through the huge “marathon gate” around the track past Hitler's reviewing stand and then onto the broad greensward before Der Fuehrer,

Next to last—the fiftieth hation in the parade—was the big delegation of athletes from the United States. The Americans, who have achieved tremendous popularity in: Berlin, drew one of the largest ovations of all when they marched in eight abreast. A band on the field struck up “Star-Spangled Banner.” As the Americans paraded past Hitler, spectators sang the Horst Wessel song, the Nazi anthem, and saluted and cheered. The United States flag was not dipped like those of most other nations when Hitler's box was reached. A United States Army regulation— which previously had been explained to German officialdom—prevents dipping the flag to any one but the President.

Use Hats in Salute

The men, in their blue coats, white flannels and straw hats. with “blue bands, saluted Hitler by - -~-ing their hats over their hea 35ture carefully practiced & ay entered the stadium. The women, who led the parade, were dressed in blue and white outfits. They saluted by turning their eyes right. After the United States team, was the German delegation—all in white. When the Germans took their place, Dr. Theodor Lewald, head of the German -organizing committee of the games, spoke and then Hitler proclaimed the games opened.

Repeats Olympic Oath

Out from the ranks stepped Chunky Rudolf Ismayr, Bavarian, who won the middleweight weightlifting title for Germany in the 1932 Olympics at Los Angeles. Ismayr mounted the speaker's stand and repeated for all the athletes on the field this Olympic | oath: “We swear that we will take part

| in the Olympic games in loyal cont- | petition, respecting the regulations

which govern them and desirous of participating in them in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the honor of our country and for the glory of sport.” During the ceremony, 50 of the 52 flags on the field ‘were -dipped. Those which remained erect were the United States and Brazil.

Softball

Marott Shoe Store and L. S. Ayres Estate Range teams are to clash tonight at 8:30 at Softball Stadium. Hubner is to hurl for the Ayres squad with Rudd behind the plate. Oran and Bartine have been assigned batiery duties for the Marott club. ’ Big Four Railroad was handed its second defeat of the season last night, 2-to-1, by the Elks team at Brazil. The locals won the firsh.game of the series by a top-heavy score here recently.

$50,000 Futurity and $10,000 Handicap.

By United Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—Ten turf

“stars of tomorrow”: struggled for}

the 2-year-old championship today over the six fast furlongs of the $50,000 Arlington Futurity. Bracketed with the famous Futurity was the $10,000 Handicap which made Arlington Park’s closing gesture of the meeting the richest day of racing in the entire Chicago season. A crowd of 35,000 was expected at the fashionable plant.

One Undefeated

Entry of three fleet juveniles owned by Mrs. Ethel V. Mars of Chicago held a decided edge in overnight odds and may go to the post a 6-to-5 favorite. Case Ace, undefeated and most impressive in training trials, supported the Mars trio which also included Murph and the inconsistent Jawbreaker. ; Percy M. Pike’s Supply House ‘and H. P. Headley’s Apogee, the stouthearted filly that romped off with Arlington’s Lassie Stakes, were

other short-priced, favorites. The.

rest lacked backing. Headley’s improving Hollyrood became the early favorite in the mile and a quarter handicap off his showing in the Classic a week ago. With Granville and Mr. Bones out of it, the handicap field included approximately the same talent as pe classic in which Hollyrood was third.

Santa Anita Handicap for F. Alger Jr., trained carefully for this feature and received enough support to be included among the many favorites in the wide-open event. Also named for the handicap were Calumet Farm’s Count Morse, Sun Teddy and Calumet Dick, Mrs. John Hertz's Count Arthur, Mrs. Emil Denemark’s Corinto, A. Pelleteri’s Where Away and E. K. Bryson’s Carvola. Count Morse, carrying 102 pounds, and Sun Teddy, with only 98 pounds up, provided a formidable entry "The Futurity field included Headley's Old Nassau coupled with Apogee, Joseph E.

German Given Double Match

Steinborn to Gra to Grapple Two Huskies on Card at Sports Arena.

Milo Steinborn, 220, the German “strong man” who has “bear hugged” his way to three consecutive vie« tories here, has agreed to attempt the “iron man” stynt. to feature the Hercules A. C. all-heavyweight grappling bill at Sports Aréna next Tuesday night.

Steinborn will take on.two opponents, meeting them one at a time, and hopes to toss each foe for one fall. Opposition will be furnished by two aggressive grapplers, Al Sparks, 227, of Salt Lake City, and Al Maynard, 232, Pacific Coast husky. ‘When Jim McMillen was unable to go through with a scheduled tussle with Milo, Matchmaker Lloyd Carter struck upon the plan of offering the German star the novel assignment. In order to win, Steinborn must toss both matmen within the regular 90 minutes. If either opponent gains a draw, or a fall, Steinborn will be declared the loser. Dick Raines attempted the same kind of stunt here three weeks ago and finished on the short end.

Indians Pull 3-Ply Killing and Win 4-2

Brewers Have Sacks Filled When Cut Down; Trout Comes Through.

There are more ways than one win- 2 ball game, so the Indians pulled a triple play against Milwaue kee last night with the sacks loaded and saved the contest for Rookie Dizzy Trout. He got out of more holes than a well digger and etched his fourth victory of the season, which is fair enough for a lad in his sece ond season away {rom high school diamonds. The score was 4 to 2 and hits were: 10 for the: Brewers and six for the Hoosiers. However, the Tribesters collected four extra-base blows, two doubles and-two triples to nary a one for the visitors. It was the Redskins’ second straight victory in the series and the eleventh out of 14 games during the home stand.

Twin Bill Tomorrow

Jim Turner is sla to work on the Tribe mound un the lights tonight and Lefty Braxton and Joe Heving are reported ready for the league leaders. A double-header is scheduled tomorrow afternoon, after which the Indians will hit the weste ern trail and remain on the road until Aug. 17. . In the fifth inning ‘last night three successive singles by Mile waukee swatters filled the bases and Chet Laabs was at bat. Wilburn occupied third, Gullic second and York first. Laabs connected for a whistling low liner that Buck. Fausett snared at his position off third for out No. 1. He passed the ball to Vincent Sherlock at second before Gullic could get ‘back, and i$ was out No. 2. Then Sherlock reached out and tagged York come ing down the line from first te complete the three-ply. killing. Uncertain of the decision at the moment, Sherlock returned the ball to Fausett, who tagged Wilburn off base for a “fourth out,” which isn’ in the book.

Protest Withdrawn

Some confusion resulted owing to

the fact the Brewers claimed Laabs’ drive touched ground before smacke ing Fausett’s glove, but after a cone sultation the umpires ruled it a line drive and triple play. A protest by Manager Sothoron of the Brewers was withd . ‘The Brewers got one run in thé initial round on a single, ‘stolen base, passed ball and a second sine gle. The Indians bounced back with two when Bates led off with a dou< ble to left, Sherlock walked and Fausett lined a triple to center. In the third Sherlock tripled to right and tallied on Eckhardt's mighty three-bagger to center, and in the eighth Fausett reached second on Hope's error and scored on Eckhardt’s single. The Brewers tried for a ninthe inning rally and ,got one marker, Both Uhalt and Wilburn walked and the former stole third. Guilic struck ‘out, York singled, scoring Uhalt, and Laabs and Storti were erased on fiy balls to the outfield. Four Hits by York Big Chief York, Milwaukee first sacker, had a large evening with four hits and a walk. He also batted in two runs and stole a base. j York is the property of Detroit, Eckhardt batted in two of the Ine dians’ runs and Fausett socked in the other pair. Young Trout was given good support by his mates in spite of three miscues behind him, Ris main difficulty was holding rune ners near base. They pilfered three sacks but had 13 men left stranded to four by the Tribesters. Dizzy struck out four and walked five, Forest Pressnell, star righthander, went the route for Milwaukee. -
