LONDON, Aug:' 19. (AP) Out In
front as usual; Jesse Owens It de-
parting today with bis coach, Larry
Bnyder, for a speedy trip nome. caicu'
lated to determine definitely bis pros.
pectlve . professional course without
delay.
Before making a quick dash for
the loat train to Southampton, where
they are boarding the aueen Mary,
both Snyder and Owena Instated to
day that they hed not made any
decision regarding numerous offers
Owens has received. The proposals by
which, Jesse: can capitalise his fame
aggregate well over 4100.000. but as
Snyder expressed It, "we aren't count
ing our financial ohlckens before they
ere batched.
' In Dark On Olfere. '
. "We won't know what a lot of this
m all about before we get back," the
coach' added. "For all we know'some
of the' folks anxious to sign Jesse up
tor serious money may want htm to
Jump through a lighted hoop or race
JcanR&roos at county fairs.
Whether or not Jesse baa run his
last amateur race. Snyder still Is un
convinced that suspension of Owens
by tne A. A. u. wouia Keep me negro
out of Big Ten competition during his
remslnlng year of eligibility If he
hould decide to spurn all commercial
.propositions and return to Ohio state.
"Maybe I'm wrong." 8nyder said,
but I feel euie that the circumstances,-,
fully explained, would not
keep Owens out of college competi
tions regardless of how long the
A. A. IT. ban lasts. That's strictly an
academic point, however."
Owens' suspension on top of other
discordant Olympic notes, did not de
velop much wsrmth of feeling be
tween the A. A. U. old guard and the
collegiate leaders., who Joined forces
for the period of the games.
A. A. U. Uow Nears.
There's nothfng brand new In this
situation, but It Is likely to prompt
further repercussions before the last
chapter la written regarding the 1030
expeditionary forces. . . , . .
It will surprise no onlookers fa
mlllar wlth .the undercurrent of dis
satisfaction over various developmenta
If there la a further blowoff at home
before snow files.
The whole situation la the ripest
for on of the grandest fsmlly rows
known In American athletics since
the famous split In American Olym
elo association ranks ten years sg?
It's a coincidence that the world's
fastest human of that time, Charley
Paddock, waa among the figures 1n
the events preceding the last big fam
ily row.
Jesse Owens, triple winner at the Olympic garnet, hat been impended
by the A.A.U. for falling to Join a scheduled tour of Scandinavian
countries. He It shown In Berlin with hit coach, Larry 8nyder of Ohio

Olympics Stir Emotions
Says Tribune s Reporter
By ROY CRAFT '-".
Mall Tribune Correspondent at Larft ' '
OLYMPIC STADIUM, Borlln, Aug. 7. -The sun Is thlnlng tt list, Stoeok
hu Jiut heaved the Javelin tor another gold medal for Oermany, Hitler
has taken his place In the tribune of honor, hta embroidered gold flag hat
gone up. and the atadtum la it very happy place. . s
This la the sixth dsy of the games,
but the big bowl Is still packed and
something like 100.000 people are on
hand to extend their arms In the
Nasi salute and sing tht German
hymna aa another son of the Father
land Is crowned with the Olympic
laurel.
The Eleventh Olympiad would be
an emotional experience If nothing
else, for the mob that storms the
stadium each d&y Is not the ordinary
sporting crowd one sees at home.
Thme people take the performances
of their athletes very seriously In
deed, and a German who makes good
on the track or field can be assured
of material reward when the gamea
are over.
The police corporal Heln who mon
the hammer-throw was promoted at
once to lieutenant on the police force
and placed In charge of athletics and
physical education in hi district.
The others are similarly rewarded, I
understand, for everything In Ger
many la under the direct control of
the government and the government
has made physical development one
of ths major objectives of Ita program.
It Is quite different at home, where
man Is a hero for a day and a
sucker as soon as the shouting and
the tumult die.
The weather hss been very bad
during the first eevernl days, rain
and wind making the stadium very
uncomfortable, but today's weather
Is making up for It. The sky has
cleared and the flags of all nations
circling the stadium sre drooping on
their starra vvpi yesterday they
were whipped V a twndy wind.
Today's 1600 meter race waa per
haps the moat remarkable single
event of the games. The first two
men broke the world's record and the
next three were ahead of the Olympic
record. Poor Glenn Cunningham,
making his big try for the United
States, broke the world's record by a
good margin but lost to Lovelock of
New Zealand, who broke It by a j
wider margin and finished ahead of i
CuuntntThAm by eevrrsl fet. The

Ing Convicts professional ball club at
the senior high school grounds yes
terday, and the jailbirds won f fast
elght-lnnlng game,' The crowd
was the , smallest to attend a. regu
lar game here this year. The fact that
the game started at 0 o'clock, was:
held cm week nlght durtng the peak
of the fruit season, and conflicted
with the Bharkey-Louls fight Is be
lieved to have had much to do with
the sllmness of the gate. The local
club had no choice' in dates, however.
Mlljus started the game for his'
team, and worked the rubber for
three Innings. He haa not chucked a
ball In over 10 days, and while his.
offertnga lacked the whipping sting
that made him one of the outstand
ing hurl era In; the big time, he did
well, allowing only one hit In Jhe
three Innings, apd no runs. 1
Erlckson followed the old master to
the mound, retired the side 1-2-3 In
the Jourtb,.and was touched for three'
hlta and three runs tn the flfthTun
gate ,took over In the sixth, mowed
down the next three batters, but was.
touched for a home run by the first
man up In the seventh. He let the
next three men down.
Russell, a new hurler, took over In
the eighth and allowed three hlta
and two runs. Crowthers, 20-year-old
right hander, worked the entire game
for the Convicts and allowed only six
hits. He exhibited almost perfect con
trol, nicking the edge of the platter
like a sniper.
The thrill of the game came tn the
sixth whn a hot grounder was
pounded out by Shearer, Con out
fielder. Richard,- on third, had to
make a dead run in an effort to atop
the ball and he snagged It with a
crosa-handed catch that drew a cheer
from what crowd there was. He threw
the runner out at first for the third
out of the Inning.

FISHERMAN'S
LUCK
"THE wbice flags mark the sailing course . . . and those
two little poles over there? They mean good fishing.
"Probably somebody fished and fished all over the
lake with no luck at all until he hit that spot. Maybe
he got several good strikes about there. Must have
calculated in his mind just where the spot was and,
next time he came out, brought those poles with hhn
and drove them down, so he'd have something to tie
his boat to."
Advertisements mean to an experienced shopper
exactly what those two poles mean to an experienced
fisherman "good fishing." Advertisements are mark
ers of the best buys they save "fishing all over the
lake."
