THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON SUCCESSFUL OLYMPIAD COMES TO CLOSE SUNDAY SONS OF NIPPON REACHING FOR THEIR FIRST OLYMPIC CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1932 ATTENDANCE, ACTION RECORDS ALL SHATTERED Los Angeles, Aug. 13 UP) The 1932 Olympics, which close their spectacular sporting whirl of 16 days with the closing ceremonies tomor row, have far outstripped ail re cords for gate receipts as well as performances. Unofficial estimates today were that the total paid attendance would figure close to 1,000.000 and the gate receipts around $2,000,000 for the most brilliant athletic show ever conducted. The record-smashing track and field sports accounted for the bulk of these figures. Estimates were that in eight days of the most ex citing events in the big Olypmtc stadium, 475,000 cash customers were accomodated. Altogether day and night, over the stretch of two weeks, more than 600,000 passed through the main stadium's turn stiles. Rowing, Including an estimate for today's finals, attracted 100,000 to the marine stadium at Long Beach while the aggregate crowds at the swimming championships figured to reach 80,000 by this af ternoon. Almost from the start there has been no doubt about the all-around supremacy of the United States and the point tables, figured un officially, show the Americans with an overwhelming lead. The O. 8. scored Its biggest Olympic con quest in track and field sports since the war, captured the free style wrestling championship, clinched the majority of honors In women's swimming and hoped to retain the main laurels of the Olympic re gatta this afternoon. The closing sensation, however, was the rush of the great Japan ese men's swimming team to de throne the Americans In this branch of major competition. Japan's improved showing all along the Olympic lines has been a conspicious feature from the start. The Japanese have high hopes of landing the award of the 1940 Olympics for Tokyo. The 1936 games will be held in Berlin. The closing ceremonies, starting at 2 p. m., tomorrow, will follow the equestrian steeplechase finals. Natlona. and Olympic banners will be paraded and final awards made to the athletes. Including presenta tion of an "Alplntan award" for two German youths who climbed the Matterhom. A messenger will take these Olypmlc medals to Berlin to give them to the mountain climb ers, Hans and Tonl Schmlt. - The Olympic torch will burn for the last time and the Olympic flag will be turned over to Mayor Por ter of Los Angeles for safe keep ing during the next four years.

DEMPSEY VISITS OREGON PRISON EN ROUTE SOUTH Jack Dempsey, former heavy weight champion lighter of the world, who appeared In an exhibi tion uuu ui rgruana rxiany nig11. made a brief visit to the Oregon penitentiary early Saturday fore noon. The former champion and hia party, en route to San Francisco by automobile, paid their respects to the prison officials while Demp sey made a brief talk to the prison ers. Portland, Aug 13 (LP) Jack Demp sey, once king of the heavyweight division, contemplated a world tour today In his effort to regain the championship. Leonard Sacks, Dcmpsey's busi ness manager, said last night that he was considering taking Dempsey on such a trip. "I feel certain that Jack would make as much money on such a trip as he ever did from a championship fight. The year or so that would be required for the trip would give him time to get in shape to knock out Jack Shar key, the present champion, once more," said Sacks. Dempsey scored a knockout over Frank Sawyer, Vancouver B. C, In the first round of a scheduled four round exhibition here last night. Sawyer was revived after taking the count, however, and Dempsey knocked him out again In the third round. Dempsey weighed 202 pounds. Sawyer weighed 197.

Triumphant In 16 of their last 20 games, the Dodgers today rested In third splace. three games back of the second place Pittsburgh Pirates and only three and a half behind the pacesetting Chicago Cubs.

Albany, tout ed as a possible title contender at the start of the season, has won but two games and Is in the cellar position.

Three Individual titles remained to be decided, but there appeared a lack of American talent sufficient to turn back the Insistent threat of the smiling, courageous navigat ors of the far east. United States had the promts of an almost certain victory In the men's htsh platform diving, but the handwriting for tne ran meter free style and 200 meter breast stroke finals prospect was m bold Oriental characters. To the Yankees It was the hand writing on the wall. It meant that the Aquatic crown would be carried from the North American continent for the first time since tlx Olympics were modernized. The turn of affairs came sudden ly yesterday, but not without ex pectation, when Japanese finished one, two, three in the 1M aaeter backstroke final. Masajl Keyokawa completely out classed his field to win the back ward race by three yards In I an gle 8 6 seconds, although be was four-tenths of a second short of tha only Olympic record of the wheM water festival which withstood at tack.
