PARIS, Sept. 8 (UP)—Boasting only few Olympic games laurel.-,; members of the French team were hack in their routine lives today re fleeting upon the lament of French sporting writers that the expedition to Los Angeles was a terrible waste

of money.

I he athlete- did not try to blame i i their poor showing on the California ' climate. American food or unfair judges, but rather on California hos-! pitality. The teams’ handlers said that the athletes acted like school j children on holiday, but the youths insist that they did the best they could , against vastly improved athletes of

all races.

There was solemn tribute to supremaey, but the French athletes feM that Japan will challenge America in the next games. There was nothing but praise for California, its blue skies and sunshine. The French sports writers, who accompanied the team, deplored the J organization of the games and were | bitter in protesting the lack of interest among the French athletes, once j they began to be lionized by French i admirers in California. “The American public is Francop-' hile but the California press never j said a good word about any French athletes.” wrote Jacques Goddet,| .-•ports writer. “The sports writers in I Los Angeles announced the first Gardner Cowles, IX 1 - Moines la..

One might have fancied that he had rehearsed the histrionic exhibition which followed Colt’s curt announcement. With a sweep of his graceful arm, Everett clapped his hand against his forehead. His eyes distended and his words came in

gasps.

“Disappeared—and Lola dead?” “Murdered," followed up Colt. The actor staggered to a chair. He sat down and buried his face in his hands, and through his fing-

ers he gasped:

“Murdered! Who would murder

poor Lola?”

“What time did you leave the Lion’s Eaw?” Colt hastened on. Still with his face muffled in his

palms, Everett replied:

“About ten minutes past eleven." "Witf did you leava so soon?”

“Our hoys were over there too,”

Flynn grimly returned.
