Th. nreaa and athletic badges are much alike, and as the only words I know In the German language are "Gross" end "bier," I find my vocab ulary rather limited In an emergency of this kind. I try to leu the lads ' by shrugs and gestures that they do not want my autograph, but my aim waving only serves to convince them that, whoever I am, I am a very great man Indeed and very modest.

BERLIN, Aug. 11. (AP) Paced by Dick Degener, of Detroit, th. United States scored Its second successive clean aweep In th. Olymplo sprlng board diving championship today but saw Its 800-meter relay swimming oomblnstlon soundly thrashed by th. Japanese, lfldeko Maehata, another Japanese ace, romped oft with th. women'a 300-meter breast stroke crown. Degener nosed out his teammate, Marshsll Wayne, of Miami, Fla., for the title with 103.87 points. Wayne was second with 1S0.88. At Greene of Chlcsgo, took third place with MIJ.UU. Otherwise th. Americans were forced to yield the spotlight to the Isnd of th. rising sun. although Jsck Medlca snd Ralph Flanagan qualified for the 400 meter free atyle finals snd Allc. Bridges and Edith Mot rldg.

BOO-meter relay final. The Japsnese were clocked in eight minutes. 81.A seconds, shaving 4.8 seconds off th. new world and Olympic standard they had set up In th. trlsls yeaterdsy. Miss Maehata was given a terrific struggle hy Martha denenger, of Oermany In the 300 meter breast stroke final but won by one foot In 8:03.0. well above the new Olympic stsndsrd of 8:01.3 ah. set In the insis. Work started yeaterdsy on th. new grandstand at th. Senior high school atmetio field near th. .nd of South Ivy atreet, after the contract had been let Saturday to. E. P. Power of this olty. Powers bid of 81697, accented from among five, was not tho lowest submitted but was chosen becsuse his wss the lowest .mong those who could meet the school bond require, ments, according to school officials. Power stated yesterday that work on th. big stand will be rushed to completion by September 10. allowing ample tlm. tor finishing touches be fore th. start of the football season early In October. Plans, drawn by Architect Frank Clark, call for a covered unit 309 feet long, with well entrancea from th. rear, and Besting 1390 persons. The well entrances will allow spectatlrs to file to their scats without the ne cessity of entering st the end gatea. The unit will house a band stand cap able of accommodating 45 members. snd an ample press box. Orlglnsl plsns called for bleachers at each end, but when WPA withdrew patronage of the project this was con aldered unfeasible, and it has been decided to use portable basketball bleacher., booetlng the entire seating capacity to 3000. Eventually a com parable grandstand will be put In on th. east .Id. of th. field, but the present one, on the west side, will serve for the present. Plans also call for lavatory and showers under th. grandstand, but money Is not now available for so ambitious sn undertaking snd com pletion of those unit, will have to await financing. Framework for those room, will be put In, however, at the present time. With two covered baseball grand stand, now completed, the Medford school has one ot the moat complete athletic plant.

Th. players are using sort-soled shoes Instesd of cleats, for dally wsterlngs have left th. base of the field soft, f Leaping to his feet the primitive aborigine, who admits he's only half Indian, Informed Mr. Chick that He could lick htm easily If no "lucky punches" were lsnded, to which Mr. Cnlck replied that some day he might have th. chsnce, although Mr. Chick expressed the gravest doubts thst Ike would get sny farther than he had on the recent occasion. Th. beef lsstcd for some minutes, during th. course of which discussion Chick stated that he was rather proud of hi. wrestling, rather than hla ability to mix It with tough gentle men who alwaya wanted to punch him In the eye. "Down where I came from," he stated, "wo learn to wrestle right. I learned to wrestle long before thla alley .Ighttng you use became popular." Ik. admited he was an alley fighter and not a wrestler, but that he could "lick hell out of a lot ot who thought they were wrestlers." The party came to a close when Chick, departing, extended his hand and said "No hard feelings, anyway even If I do hope you lose your next match." Mr. Ike sssured him. In spoplectlo terms, that "hope" would be Chick's only recourse If Chick hsppened to be the opponent In that next fight. w. queried Ike aa to whether h. had lost any bicuspids when clouted on the puss so heartily, but he de nied It. Chick wee there, which may have had something to do with the denlsl. for shortly after he'd left Ike started nursing an extremely swollen Jaw, and speculstlvely moving hla teeth around to see If any of them had become unmoored. Noticing us wstchtng him. he looked a little sheepish and explained that he didn't want to admit Chick had hurt him, In Chick's presence. Those boys have more fun.

New York Pittsburgh ...... Cincinnati ...... Boston - Brooklyn ........ Philadelphia 39 American League W. New York ..... Cleveland ....... Chicago ........ Detroit Boston . Any minor rlota failed to develop at the Armory wrestling matches last night, but wild action In two of the three matches sent the big crowd horn, feeling s. though there had been, as Bob Montgomery, big rough and-tumbler from Georgia, continued his winning streak by downing Les Wolfe, and Bobby Chick, taking to tne violent end of the game Ilk. kid does to breed and Jam. eliminated Cherokee Ik. at his own game. Joe Hubka, Bohemian Adonla from Ne braska, looking leaner and faster than when he left here a year ago. expe rienced little trouble in eliminating Walter Stratum In the opener. The crowd had already started to leave the auditorium In th. last match when Iea Wolfe got his pun Ishlng tlgure-4 scissors on Montgom ery for what would have been the deciding fall, after Montgomery had struggled to his feet only to tall back to the mst. As the crowd started to leave Montgomery agsln regained his feet snd staggered to the corner of the ring, where Referee Ray Friable broke Wolfe's hold when the Georglen edged his head under the ropes, With wolf, standing directly behind him. the southerner lashed backwards with both feet like a Brahma heifer kick ing a milk bucket, and knocked his elongsted opponent spinning, diving sbosrd for a Boston crab that gave him th. fall and the match. Montgomery also took tho opening tumble when he banged Wolfe's skull Into the bight of the ropes at a cor ner, leaving the Texan groggy and taking th. fall with a press. In thts round Wolfe sbandoned his usual gentlemanly tactics and fired a few flat, at Montgomery. Th. fall came In 11 minute.. Wolfe took th. next with a bottoms-up flgure-4, hi. fa vorite grip, In nine minute, after much slugging on th. part of Mont gomery. Th. stocky Chick hsnded Cherokee Ike on. of the major surprises of his career In the middle event, after It had seemed the Indlsn waa well on hla way toward achieving super meanle ststus. Ike started his slug ging early, but received a .harp crack on the nose In return. The aborigine, attempting to break sn arm bar In the first round, bit his opponent on the arm. Chick, getting Into th. spirit of the thing, broke this msneuver with a lusty wallop to the back of Ike'a head and from then on the match was mostly a slug-feat, with the ex-cowpuncher easily having the advantage. Every tlm. the Indian offered one of bis foul blows, Chick returned It with Interest, taking the second round with a surfbosrd In three and a half minutes, after a no-fall opener. The whale-hold, a libera) spouting of wster Into the face ot th. enemy, was employed by Chick at the atart of th. next round, but Ike recovered fast enough to sonnenberg and knee his opponent Into a fall, making a mad ruah across the ring, while Chick was standing dascd from a crack on the Jaw. Apparently satisfied with th. ma neuver. Ike attempted It again at the stsrt of the fourth round, rushing ' blindly across th. arena. He received such a hearty crack on the chin that the only man who didn't hear the pistol-shot report wss the deaf gentle man who lives three block, south cf the Bear Creek packing house. The Indian arched a beautiful parabola onto the flat of his back, where he remained oblivious of hla surround ings while Chick took the fall. When he finally did emerge from the coma Ike leaped to his feet and squared sway for some more going, only to discover with blank amazement that hla enemy had flown. His virile offer ings to thrash the two seconds or anyone else In the house were vastly amusing to the crowd. Walter Stratton, under-slung weight lifter, was obviously out of his class sgalnst Joe Hubka In the opener. He did fairly well In the first round getting out of a leg scissors Into a Boston crab, and breaking Hubka s srm bsr twice with his abnormal strength, but superior size and speed cut him down In the following canto as th. ex-Nebrsska footballer sonnen berged him and then put his shoul ders to th. mat with a somersault bottoms-up. the first time such a pin fall had been seen here.
