NEW YORK, Aug. 39, (AP) Back
home and broke with plenty to say
about It all, more than 100 of Uncle
Sam's Olympians stayed over In New
York tonight to have a good time at
the town's expense.
Free board, room and elaborate en
tertainment were afforded the ath
letes who somewhat toned down their
blasts against the Olympic committee
heads aa they enjoyed themselves.
The homecomers, quartered In 21 ho
tels over the city at no personal ex
pense, generally summed up their
situation with:
Those of us who didn't have a
good time In Germany are going to
catch up over here."
The only news of the day waa fur
nished by Mrs. Dorothy Poynton Hill,
of Los Angeles, Olympic three-meter
springboard diving champion, who an
nounced she would turn professional.
Mrs. Hill said she would leave for
Hollywood at once for a movie test
and then go back to Europe, probably
next month, for a series of exhibi
tions. "I'm through aa an amateur, she
said. "Three Olympic games are
enough for ma. Yea, thank you, I
had a perfectly punk time on the
Olymplo trip. Z was glad to get home.
The Olymplo committee didn't do a
thing for ua except to take us over
and back."
Mlas Dee Boeckmann, coach of the
women's track and field team, said
the relay team of Helen Stephens,
Harriet Bland, Betty Robinson and
Annette Rogers would compete in a
meet at Toronto, Canada, September
5. 0, 7 and that Ml&a Stephens would
give an exhibition at Washington.
D.C on September 13.
Olymplo officials who returned on
the S.S. Roosevelt last night made
themselves so scarce that only a few
could be located. They had nothing
to say except that they were glad It
was all overbut the shouting.
Only Flannagan's double In the
fifth saved th e Med ford base ba 1 1
school team from suffering a no-hlt,
no-run game Friday evening at the
hands of the travelling House of
David colored team. The Negro
pitcher, Lomax, whistled his offerings
over the platter with such howling
speed that few of the Medford squad
even got their gats on them, as the
visitors won 9-0.
Erlckson took the mound for the
locals at the start of the game and
was relieved by Tun gate at the start
of the fourth. Young George Oltzen
caugh for Brlckaon, and Stoddard
took over the duties behind the plate
when Tun gate went Into the game.
House of David garnered their nine
runs off IS hits. Flannagan was the
only Medford man to reach first bane,
and he died on third when a pop fly
was taken by the first baseman.
Contrary to reports that the col
oted team was made up of hilarious
ly funny players, they were about as
funny as a broken leg. surlily con
tradicting the referee's decisions
through most of the game,
which was called by darkness at the
end of the sixth.
The visiting team had won 110
games and loet only IS )n their pres
