1Beaten Marines Thrill Polo Fans : Berlin Goes Ritzy in Big Way FORT HOYLE COPS '■ EXCITING CONTEST Wilkinson Plays Inspiring Game as Team Bows, 618. War Malleters Win. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS. JR. THERE probably is no phase of sport more delightful than rooting for the game underdog, and 3,500 polo fans had a royal taste of It yesterday at Potomac Park Held when Maj. A. C. Wilkinson and the Quantlco Marines went down lighting against a bettor mounted, better co-ordinated quartet from Port Hoyle. Md. The final score was 8 to 6, but the treat "Wilkie," one of the best mal leters ever developed, in the Army, still was slamming away toward the enemy goal when the last bell tolled off the Marines into the consolation class and sent the Fort Hoyle players Into the semi-finals of the Southeast ern tournament. While his teammates appeared to be somewhat at sea on horseback, MaJ. Wilkinson put up a gallant one-man fight against a combination that boasted one rising young star and a veteran whose motto as a defensive player always has been "they shall not pass." The white-haired whirl wind from Quantico was somewhat like a star shell bursting all over the field at the same time, but it was to Bo avail. Scott on Rampage. T HUT. BRUCE VAN E. SCOTT was forever breaking loose on long asAdMM vims that ctrivinff to carry both the offensive and de fensive burden, could not possibly thwart, and any attempt to score ran straight into that stone wall, No. 4, Lieut. Col. Joe Swing, formerly of the War Department team and now at tached to the 6th Artillery at Fort Hoyle. Earlier in the day a War Department four stepped up another notch when they met the 3d Cavalry Green team on the Fort Myer field and gave these v gentlemen a neat shellacking to the tune of 7-0. Two of the tallies were allowed them by handicap, but they had no need of a head start. From the first whistle they carried the ball into enemy territory and kept it there most of the time. If a fair percentage of the close shots that missed had gone instead between the pylons, the j board would have read about 12-0 at the end. The lop-sided nature of this match j could be attributed principally to in equality of mounts, although the Green team was not hitting well even when on the ball first. The War De partment four next will meet the win ner of a game yet to be played be tween the 3rd Cavalry Yellows, the power house aggregation of the tour nament, and the 110th Field Artillery, National Guard, of Baltimore. Vtaqaier-Londoun Makes Bow. (CHRONOLOGICALLY next on the ^ official schedule is the tussle be tween the 16th Field Artillery of Fort Myer and the nine-goal invaders fly ing the flag of the Fauquier-Loudoun Polo Club. This is set for today at 3 pjn. on Potomac Park field, and is expected to draw another capacity •rowd since the Fauquier-Loudoun > people are rated as the second best. fets for a trip to Cleveland and the | wjuuuai iiiiau. During the first half of the Hoyle Quantico game yesterday, it seemed at least faintly possible Maj. Wilkin son and his mates would be able to hold their own against the favored Marylanders. "Wilkie” slapped one free hit through the posts to make the count 3-1 at the end of the first stanaa, held the Hoyle invasion to 3 goals in tlje second, and kept it at l 4-3 when the half was called. The fourth chukker was blank for both sides, each missing a tally by inches, but in the fifth Col. Swing came for ward into a scrimmage and scored after his teammates had failed on numerous tries, Maj. Ferren whipped one over from a hard angle, and Scott broke away with a spectacular run climaxed by a beautiful floater ! over the goal line. Wilkinson Keeps Fighting. 'A FTER that devastating rush, Wil kinson began to fight his way back again slowly. Capt. Kimes picked up one of his passes and put It in the right place to make it 7-4, just before the fifth chukker ended, and came right back at the start of the sixth frame with a nice angle smack un derneath his horse, to bring the elu sive tie one point nearer. Then Scott was free again and made his speedy ponies count for one more sinker, des tined to be the last for Hoyle. After much struggling and what is known politely as exhorting of his teammates, Maj. Wilkinson then sneaked a deft backhand through practically the en ure Moyie team, rne mark of 8-6 j still stood when time ran out. Summaries: ' W»r Departaent (t-Gaal Kallas). Wo. l. 2. 3. 4. 6. 6.

DERUN.—German Olympic officials still are worrying over the ‘ female problem.” They haven’t yet decided to yield to the Finns, who ask to have an elderly woman live in Olympic Vil lage. The woman would have charge of the Finnish hot baths. The village was planned to house 4.500 men—and no women. Since there will be stage shows provided for athletes In the village, the authorities were really bothered by the thought of the actresses’ pres ence. To remedy the situation they pro enter the theater by a back exit, kept locked except when in use. There will be no hanging about stage doors. The actresses will come and go In locked cars.

BY WILLIAM F. MrDERMOTT. BERLIN. July 19.—Whatever their results may be from a strictly athletic viewpoint., the Olympic games of 1936, scheduled for Berlin August 1 to 16, certainly will establish some world records for thoroughness of organiza tion. All the resources of the nation sre behind this sporting event. To the German regime it is obviously a good deal more than a series of ath letic contests. It is a great patriotic activity, a stroke in international diplomacy, a powerful instrument of propaganda. Foreign opposition to the holding of the games in Germany undoubtedly has helped to lift them to the status of a national cause and whetted the de termination to make them a success. More than 100,000 visitors from abroad are expected. A single Amer ican news service will have 300 re porters writing about the games. The j nnnnrtiinitv for rreatlnv a tnnH Im. pression on foreigners Is tremendous, and the Nasi regime will spare no trouble to see that they get a favor able picture.' Best Feet Is Forward. QUITE frankly, Germany will put her best foot forward during the games. From the first day to the last visitors will be subjected to propa ganda, either direct or indirect. They will be invited to visit hospitals, pub lic welfare institutions and labor camps, all under the leadership of of ficial guides and without the payment of fees. Their pockets will be stuffed with literature pertaining to the so cial and cultural achievements of the regime. They wui see a clean, oroeriy, well-disciplined country, and many of them will go back home full of admiration for the system of govern ment which has nourished such vir tues. They won't see the concentration camps, of course, or peer through the kitchens of work people, or look into the hearts of Jews who have been stripped of all that was theirs. But it is not the purpose of propaganda to present the whole picture. Its concern is only with the pleasanter aspects of truth. Since the hotels are totally inade quate. many thousands of visitors will be quartersd in private houses. As far as possible the visitors will be seg regated in different districts, according to the language they speak. All Nations Cared For. A LL Berlin has been divided into 34 national sections, French, English, Japanese. Hungarian and so chi. In each of these districts an information office will be Installed and staffed with Interpreters speaking the particular language of the visitors in that district. These interpreters. 5.000 of them, give their services without pay in their free time as a patriotic contribution to the success of the games. vsiiici uiuu^aiiuo ui wiuui^ huu natured Germans will be assigned to the outskirts of Berlin, where they will meet the automobiles of incoming tourists and guide them to their quar ters. All the services of the official tourist bureau will be placed at the visitors' disposal free of rharge. This service, new to Germany, is already in operation for the benefit of pre-Olym pic visitors. This bureau has a large staff of competent, friendly and helpful peo ple. all of them speaking English and all anxious that you have a favorable impression not only of the natural beauties of Germany and of the char acter of the German people, but also of the progress and enlightenment that has proceeded from the Nazi regime. Hitler Youngsters Aid Athletes. TP HE Olympic athletes are going to A have their opinions, as well as their bodies, diligently looked after. Two hundred specially chosen Hitler youths will be housed In the Olympian village and assigned to running er rands for the athletes, guiding them around, and looking after them gen erally. In addition a Germany army officer will be attached to each Olym pic team. His duty will be to help them in any way that he can. The Olympian Village, where the athletes will be quartered, was built by the army and will be administered by army officers. The frankly ex pressed aim Is to acquaint foreign vis itors with the character of the new Reich Army. There will be nothing spartan about the living conditions of the Olympic athletes. In the little town specially constructed for them they will be housed and hermetically sealed with a kind of simple grandeur. The village lies about 15 miles from Berlin In beautiful Brandenburg Woodland. Amid these pleasant acres a spotless town has been erected, consisting of about 150 buildings. Including dormi tories, administration offices, dining and assembly rooms. dmsriran Hesse Leeks Shabby. THE buildings are constructed uni formly of brick, covered with white stucco, and the roofs are of red tile. The village is not merely a comfortable and ample temporary residence for 5.000 athletes, it is a luxurious and permanent Summer re sort. Thousands of Germans have been making excursions dally by bus and automobile to visit the village and revel in Its wonders. You can make one comparison on the spot. As a gesture of friendship, the Los Angeles Olympic Committee presented the leader of the German team with one of the cottages that housed the athletes when the games were held in Los Angeles. The California bouse has been set up on the grounds as a curiosity. A small pink and white shack, con structed of flimsy material that peels like cardboard, it looks comical and pathetic by the side of the commodi ous and substantial German buildings. "It is against the rules." said my young guide, “to show you this build ing from Los Angeles. German people laughed when they saw It. It looks so shabby and little. So we must not show It any more.” Monument to German Efficiency. The young man tried to salvage my A feelings by saying: "Of Mhrae, Mm climate in California is ao Offsr* h i. CUD. AIIC3C UUllUUifB UiUAV JUUflvU very pretty In their own surroundings in Angeles." But he didn’t really believe it. The difference was too overwhelming. There was no intention to press the comparison, but the fact was that nothing could have magnified the su perior thoroughness of the German preparations for the games so vividly as this forlorn, flimsy little pink-and - white hut that had "been carted all the way from California as a symbol of American amity and generosity. Germany has stretched herself to make the Berlin Olympian Village a monument to German solidity and efficiency of planning. More than 2,000 trees have been planted around the village. The ground has been landscaped. Ponds have been drained, artificial lakes created. No detail has been overlooked. The Pinna are a peculiar people who pay their debts and like to be in the steam created by heating rocks in an open fire and then throwing water on the alrallng stones. Their athletes on the Olympic team seem to have wondered how they could get along in Germany without a Finnish steam bath. Hear ing of this, the Germans built a Fin nish bath house on the grounds, com plete with rocks, a stove and a little lake deep enough for diving In as a cooling off measure. Athletes Sequestered. COME of the English athletes were ^ rumored to have sakl they could not Imagine a German village without cranes. The Germans promptly ac quired some specimens of this ungod ly bird and they can 'be .observed to day stalking around the grounds in an attitude of melancholy meditation, waiting for the English to show up. Once they are In this Sybaritic training ground, the athletes will be sealed from the Imperfections of the outside world. No visitors will be al- ! lowed, particularly no women, and no liquor will be sold, not even beer. It probably will be the only village In I German history where you cant buy j a glass of beer. These fine, substantial buildings, of course, will not be wasted after their t purpose is served during the fortnight of games. They will be turned back to the Reich Army, which built them. ' and used as barracks for an officers' j training school. You cannot Imagine training for death in a spot where life is more pleasant. iCepyrlaht. 1!>.1«. brthe Nenh American 1 Newspaper Alliance, fnr ) CHISOX VEED PACE, TWICE DOWN MACKS — Eadcliff Takes American League Stick Lead From Gehrig in 7-4, 21-14 Games.

POWERS. rHICAGO. July 18 —That's a lot of nonsense," retorted Will UarrTHoa whan aclrarf if fhoea were any new strain of rabbit in this season's American League ball. “Pitchers are complaining the ball is unusually fast," Harridge was told. “Could It by any chance be the pitchers rather than the base ball?” he Inquired. “Our ball is the same one used last year and is made according to the specifications of the agreement with the National League. Why should we want a faster ball than the National uses?” Hitting With a Vengeance. JT PROBABLY is the pitching rather than the ball that is responsible tor the top-heavy scores being made in the American League. Scoring this season is heavier than when the rabbit Pall was a reality and not an alibi. For illustration, the Yankees and White Sox in 14 games this Rummer hava vnaWa 11C V>10h ... an average of better than 22 hits and 13 runs per game That is just a sample of what is going on under Mr. Harridge’s flag. Five American League clubs have greater batting averages than the Chi cago Cubs, top hitters in the NaUonal. The batting average of the American league as a whole is well over 280. The Yankees have scored over 100 runs more than the St. Louis Cardinals the best hoofers in Ford Frick's league Balt Behaves Okay. 'J'HE ball is not to blame. It behaves perfectly when thrown by pitcher? such as Buck Newsom was the day he held the Tigers to one hit. or Charlie Ruffing when he whitewashed the In dians. The major leagues are in a poor way for pitchers. They must be when the Cardinals drag flint Rhem back from the Southern Association and have to use old ' Pop’’ Haines as a starting hurler. If the Cardinal chain gang cant turn up young pitchers, then they must be a scarce article. Denny Galehouse of Cleveland and Italo Chelini of Chicago are the only new pitchers of promise on the Ameri can side.
