RUSSIA AN

Agitation in Other Large Nations Fails

Berlin Has Noisy Olympic Eve, Williams Reports; Yankees Sing.

BY JOE WILLIAMS . Times Special Writer ERLIN, Aug. 1.—This was Der Erste Tag for the new Germany and the Hitler government. It was the day that the country of the Kaisers’ played host to the athletic world under the auspices of a modern dictator. It was, in short, a day on which the eleventh Olympilad with 52 na-

tions and some]

5000 athletes com_peting, got under way. By the time these lines appear in print the obscure corporal with the Charley | 8 Chaplin moustache, Adolf Hitler, will have formally opened the tremendous festival in a magnificent new stadium with a one-sentence speech of welcome. Following this traditional ritual the athletes will take over the stage for themselves with America again favored to outscore her rivals. No Olympic games in history have been marked by more bitterness of feeling in. the preliminary phases. As a protest against the Hitler government, which empha-

stressed its mystery origin, and it was announced that the powerful

Hermann Goering, second in com- |g.

National League For several weeks now Joe Medwick has been pacing National League batters without much opposition. The Cardinal slugger pops up at the head of the list again this week with .366, but it might be best for “Ducky” to beware of Frank Demaree of the Cubs. Demaree had the best week of any of the better hitters—an increase from .340 to .355 to vault into second place ahead of Paul Waner, Johnny Moore and Baxter Jordan. The Cubs’ right fielder is just 11 points back of Medwick. Paul Waner, Camilli and Jordan complete the high five in the National Loop. Camilli averaged nearly a home run a day for the week. Linus Frey, Brooklyn shortstop, had no accepted chances against Pittsburgh, July 27.

ACK TAULMAN today possesses a shiny set ‘of nine new clubs and a rosy outlook dn the state amateur tournament coming up the middle of this month. Both of Jack’s possessions are the

result of his sparkling 9-and-8 victory over Clayton Nichols, local South Grover, in the championship match of the state junior joust at Bloomington yesterday. The new clubs and a trophy are

] prizes awarded to Jack, an 18-year-

old Columbus youth, by the state junior association. But the rosy outlook on the state amateur, providing he decides to compete in the event Aug. 17 at Terre Haute, is & reward which he should, by all means, present to himself,

Last year, Bud Pettigrew, Pendleton’s pride, won the junior, then went on to capture the amateur. Didn’t Gallant Fox, Burgoo King, Omaha and Bold Venture win the Kaintuck’ Derby, then go on to take the Preakness? Horse racing and golf being about the two most uncertain sports in existence, the comparison would seem to be an optimistic ‘angle for young Mr. Taulman’s ‘consideration.

F course, hot streaks like the Columbus clouter experienced during his lop-sided victory yesterday seldom appear on command. But it is doubtful he would need a performance quite that sensational to cop the amateur crown. He was six strokes under par for the 28 holes played against Nichols yesterday, and it's likely that a

of which he is capable yesterday. The big South Grove lad generally adheres pretty closely to par demands, but on the first 18 holes he ‘was a full four strokes over.

Even in good form, however, his efforts apparently would have gone for nothing. For Master Taulman was in: there tossing birdies right and left, and when they audited the books at the 18-hole turn it was discovered he had a 66, equal with the Cascades course record. Par was 72. He had birdies on the first, second, sixth, seventh, tenth, fifteenth and sixteenth holes and pars on all the rest except the -eleventh! » 2 8 ICHOLS, with a 76, managed to sandwich in a victory on the eleventh when Taulman's feyer momentarily deserted him and he banged his drive into a tree to take a one-over 4. ) After the recess, Nichols snapped back to even par, in addition to:a birdie, on the next 10 greens, but was able to win only one hole. And it took his birdie to do that, Taulman matching . his pars in every other case! If you have been following the tourney, you easily can guess on what hole Clayton rang up that birdie. Nick edged out rivals in two earlier round matches with birdie 4s on the second extra hole. He found the groove again yesterday when they headed down No. 20 and a birdie 4 it was.

T'S not. the last you'll hear of Clayton Nichols. The former "Manual High 8chaol, golf captain still will be eligible for the junior next year,.

ROBABLY there were several bold forecasts that Jack Taulman would win the junior championship, but the only one I heard was voiced by Freddy. Gronauer, Pleasant Run’s most persistant proamateur patron. Before the Bloom-

winked knowingly and said that

| young Mr. Taulman couldn’t lose.

Forecaster Frederick generously released his inside dope on the state amateur today. The winner, he whispers, will be no other than a young bucko by the name of Gronauer. ; 8 s f

Five of his drives have been home runs, six doubles, and = six singles. He has driven in 1§ runs and scored 10 himself. Bottomley, who as a member of the Cardinals drove in 12 runs with two home runs, a double, and three singles in a game with Brooklyn on Sept. 16, 1924, harkened back to his © v old batting prowess again yesterday * as he led the seventh-place Browns '- to a 12-4 victory over the Phila« 2 delphia Athletics.

Jim's contributions were two home runs and a single, driving in five runs. In other American League games the first-place New York Yankees outslugged runnerup Cleve=land, 11-7, to stretch their lead © back to 82 games. Boston defeated Chicago, 7-3, as Lefty Grove hung up his thirteenth victory. Detroit handed Washington its sixth . i straight defeat, 8-2. The league-leading Chicago Cubs , and second-place St. Louis Card- : -inals kept step in the National League—Chicago defeating New York, 3-1, and the Cardinals friumphing over Brooklyn, 8-6, in 10 innings as Dizzy Dean starred on the mound and at. bat.
