Already the 400 mlle stretch from Harbin to Vladivos tok has been suspended and operation has been Interrupted by floods along the western section from Harbin to Manchull. Representatives of French banking Interests are here tnve.it Igottng the possibility of buying out the soviet interest in the road. Apparently believing Japan Intends to absorb Manchuria, most of the Russian, business firms In Harbin are closing. Within the lost two months more than 2.000 soviet citizens re turned Xo Russia from Manchuria on orders from Mcacow. Russians are chartering freight cars In which to transport their families and their belongings en masse to Russia.

By Alan Could (Associated Press Sports Editor) LOS ANGELES, July 30 (AV-The tumult and shouting, the oratory and Poavo Nurml, Finland's banished "martyr" will blend into the back ground of a record smashing battle for Olympic athletic honors tomor row. Gathered from the far corners of tho globe, the speed and brawn, skill and endurance of close to 2000 ath letes representing 30 nations, will compete in a kaleidoscopic whirl of sporting activity unprecedented In Olympic history. In their wake over a stretch of two unbroken weeks of action in 16 sports. It is confidently expected Father Time and Old Man Distance will be left dizzily contem plating a veritable wreckage of rec ords. Events Begin Sunday The main attack on existing stand ards .will be launched Sunday after noon in the track and field Eports. long the blue-ribbon feature of the Olympics. Six of the grand total of 23 track and field contests will furnish the chief attraction for perhaps 100.000 onlookers in the huge Olympic sta dium. Finals will take place In the high Jump, shotput and 10,000 meter run, in addition to trials In the 100 meter dash, 400 meter hurdles and 800 meter run. The sbotput world record should be blasted loose by either of the out-: standing favorites, Leo Sexton of the ' United States or Frantisek Douda of. Czechoslovakia. . The two series of 100 meter elim inations should Indicate clearly Just how high America's hopes may be raised in the attempt of Ralph Met calfe. George Simpson and Eddie To-, Ion to restore sprinting prestige lost , by this country In the last two Olym- plads. , High Jump a Sweep? ) The high Jump should be a sweep . for the United States, with either : Bob Von Osdel or George Spitz the victor, and the rugged young sons of 1 Finland, Iso-Hollo and Vlrtanen, fig ure to lead the 10,000 meter pack in ! the absence of their renowned com- ( patriot, Nurml, barred from the games on charges of professionalism , two days ago. j In both the hurdles and 800 meters . the American entries flguro to make a good showing but they will be up against the keenest sort of competi-' tion to survive the preliminaries. i Uncle Sam's main hopes may rest on the veteran Morgan Taylor, holder ( of the 400 meter hurdles record, and Eddie Genung, the slim national half mile champion. Hugged Team Tussle In fact the whole track and field prospect, for eight consecutive days, presents the most rugged sort of a tussle for the Americans In their -fight to keep the team champion ship they have held ever since the Olympics were revived in 1896. What ever may be the margin of the U. S. A. on points at the finish, developed nil along the line, the first place honors will bo briskly disrupted. In advance tho United States seems assured of no more than eight gold medals. Finland's Inspired little bond, aroused by tho banishment of Nurml, will exert every muscle to do as well. Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Japan, Italy and Argentina may also see their flags sent to the topmost victory pole, at leost once, before the laurel is placed on tho marathon winner next Sunday after noon, Aug. 7. As the American sprinters go, so may go the general fortunes of the homebred forces. Triumph In the 100 meters final, Monday, for any one of the American trio over the strong foreign cast, including Percy Williams of Canada, defending champion, and Arthur Jonath of Oermany. will go far toward bolstering up the spirit of the entire United States team.. On form, Metcalfe, the sensational Marquette negro and new champion, is tho American favorite in both sprints but Eddie Tolan apparently has come up to a racing peak since tho final tryouts and will be hard to beat, particularly with his experience taken into account. Simpson has been affected by a cold but he, too, Is a seasoned campaigner with a knock of doing his best when the stakes are most Important.

Pictures Destroy 'Elbow' Theory By Johnny Farrell (As Told to Artie McGovern) : Mony points In golf instruction have changed iqonsiderably during the past few years. . . For instance; It used to be felt that no golfer's technique could bo perfect if the right elbow was not kept In close to the body during the swing. We now find, however, from care ful study of our star golfers par ticularly through the use of motion pictures that It is Impossible to keep the right elbow In such i posi tion without bending the left arm.' Quite naturally we may be guilty nf ' oniiHT in thn nnnndln evlrnmn land raising the rlcht elbow too hluh. This also will ruin a swing. The point to keep In mind Is that the left arm must be straight as It guides the clubhead back slowly along the ground, and the left shoul der must be kept down so that it passes right under the chin. Keep tho right elbow In a comfort able position near the body, but make no effort to hold It In a man ner which will restrict the straight left arm.
