Feminine Efforts in World Meet Appear Feeble After

Male Athletes Leave Field|

Crowd Applause Is Mockery, Williams Declares; Joe Would Restrict Female Participants to Parade Before Event Starts—Especially Pretty Hungarian Girls.

° BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer ERLIN, Aug. 12.—The decision of the International Olympic Committee to the effect that “women must submit to competent medical

examination” if their sex is in question has added pets "to the

demand for a change in the character of future programs I talked to several coaches and officials in the Olympic Village today, and their off-the-record sentiment is that either women’s athletics should be dropped from the Olympics entirely or there should be

two separate and distinct sets of females, “When the situation reaches a point where it is necessary to subject athletes to an examination to prove whether they sing hass or soprano, the subject becomes not only ridiculous but nauseous,” said Ted Meredith, famous New York veteran and coach of the Czechoslovakian team, The outstanding star of Meredith’s team this year was a woman sprinter who qualified in record time and then mysteriously withdrew before the. squad left for Berlin, ‘The explanation w a's that she didn't like German cook - ing.” “I could use some of Dinty Moore's hamburgers myself,” said Meredith. The question whether some of the Amazonian competitors should wear long trousers instead of billowy crinolines is not altogether new to sport. In 1928 at Amsterdam the case of Miss Hitmoni, the Japanese broad jumper, was debated for tnree hours. She was finally permitted to receive the gold medal as the woman victor, but not until Gen. Douglas McArthur, president of the American Olympic Committee, hat issued an official statement in which Miss Hitmoni was fastidiously referred to as “it.” os ” ”

ND last May, England’s leading a. woman athlete, Marie Louise Edith Weston, emerged trom the hospital as Mr. Mark Weston. As Miss Weston the English girl made an international record putting the shot. As Mr. Weston the former woman athlete announced her marriage yesterday to Miss Alberta Bray and the event was “celebrated in page one headlines in the more lurid London gazettes. It is all very confusing but so is everything else over here, including the menus. Our Helen Stephens has been subjected to a whispering campaign but it is agreed that this is motivated by envy. The Missouri woman, angular and masculine in appearance, simply outclasses all opposi-

tion on the track. She is the great- |

est woman sprinter of all time. Jealous rivals refuse to believe that any woman can run so fast. This probably accounts for the chorus of meows, the feline imitation at which most women are expert. Lawson Robertson, coach of the American team, urges the abolition or separation of women’s athletics in the future as a mark of courtesy to the female contestants. “Their efforts in the majority of instances are so feeble and awkward in comparison to the male contestants that it is unfair for them to appear on the same field,” says Robertson. “Competing by themselves the standard of comparison is. much less severe and their accomplishments would be more generously received Apart from all other considerations this should be sufficient to warrant a change from the present set-up. I am surprised that women athletes don’t insist upon this themselves.”

Local Heavy on Mitt Card

Don Staley, ex-Tech High School football star, is to make his second start as an amateur boxer here when he tangles with John Ressler, Tipton, in the semi-wind-up of Roy Wallace's amateur boxing show tomorrow night. Staley, a heavyweight, lost a close decision

to Dave Ulrey, Riverside husky, in his first local ring essay. The Tech athlete floored his opponent twice, but was unable to stem Ulrey’s finishing rush. Ressler recently knocked out Jack Schmeling, a touted heavy from St. Louis, in the North i-nois-st arena. A capable lightweight is being sought to send against Marshall Allison, Shelbyville scrapper, in the four-round main go. Allison last week punched out a disputed decision over Butch Powers of Indianapolis. A rematch was in the making, but Powers is “under the weather” with a cold.

Yankee Baseball Teams ‘Fix’ Game for Olympic Exhibition Under Lights

By United Press OLYMPIC STADIUM, BERLIN, Aug. 12.—Almost certainly the vast Olympic Stadium will be jammed tonight when two teams ,of American baseball players attempt to put their “national pastime” on the world map, but the crowd won't be there primarily to watch baseball. The main attraction will be, as it usually is these days in Germany, a military demonstration and until darkness last night the martial boom of kettledrums and the shrilling of fifes echoed from the stadium walls as 1000 picked army men and 2000 military bandsmen rehearsed. The baseball teams, hoping to sell the Olympic committee the idea of including the sport in the Tokyo games, have carefully gone over the details of the game tonight because of what they consider the necessity of putting up a good exhibition in the baffling glare of floodlights. The American pitchers already have planned to slow up their pace and toss the ball down the: chute, The batters have arranged, also, with the infielders for timely double plays so fast throws won't be needed in the tricky light.

BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor OLYMPIC POOL, BERLIN, Aug. 12.—Jack ‘Medica, 21-year-old University “of Washington, Biaduate, scored America’s first swimming vi Ctory of the eleventh Olympic Games and sent his team into the lead in its battle to wrest supremacy of the waves from Japan today. ‘The Seattle flash churned over the 400-meter course in.

met with temporary success today when the University of Washington eight-oared: rowing crew won the

Friday's six finalists. Medica was clocked in 4:44.5 which bettered the Olympic mark of 4:48.4, set by Clarence (Buster) Crabbe in 1932. That time also lowered a new Olympic mark of 4:45.5 which Uto had created in winning his: first qualifying heat Monday.

Flanagan Is Fourth

Shozo Makino of Japan was third, Ralph Flanagan, Miami star; fourth. Hiroshi Negami of Japan fifth, and Jean Taris, of France, sixth. Medica’s victory capped a day of triumphs for the United States in both men’s and women’s swimming. Earlier Marjorie Gestring, Katherine Rawls and Mrs. Dorothy Poynton Hill had finished one-two-three

America in front in the team standings with 21 points. Adolph Kiefer of Chicago led 15 other qualifiers into the semi-finals of the 100-meter

In the last event of the day, America’s two backstroke swimmers moved into tomorrow’s finals along with five other stars. The pace was set by Dina Senff of Holland, who

bettered the Olympic record of 1:18.3, set-in 1932 by Mrs. Eleanor Holm Jarrett; barred from the 1936 United States team. Miss Senfl’s time of 1:17.1 fell short, however, of bettering an - ‘Olympic record - of 1:16.68 which she created in winning a heat yesterday.
