The World war wrecked plana to

capital of a Germany at war with
moat of the major powers.
Japan, although at war only with
China, has faced a steadily rising
tide of criticism and threats of ath
lete and economic boycotts.
Opposed By Army
Tbe Japanese army's opposition to
the games as an Influence for Inter
nationalism, considered hostile to the
orthodox military creed of Japan,
also was a powerful factor in the
decision to give up the Olympics.
At the same time the government
announced cancellation of the In
ternational exposition of 1940. planned
for more than a decade to celebrate
what orthodox Japanese consider the
a.ftOOth anniversary of the founda
tion of the empire by Jlmmu Tenno

The two decisions were announced
Blmustaneouslr by Marquis Kolchl
Kldo, minister of puoitc welfare and
right hand man of Premier Prince
rum I ma ro Konoye. It came at the
close of a luncheon at which It had
been taken for granted in advance
that Marqulo Kldo. Sethtn Ikeda,
minister of commerce and Industry
and also finance minister, and their
staffs would decide to call off the ex
position.
Causes Surprise

that the 'abandonment Included the
Olympics surprised the nation.
At first members of Hie Japanese
Olympic organizing committee as
serted the government's stand need

chosen as site for the 1940 games
amd would be able to hold them.

but he will never be entirely for

erous, too loyal to friends' and too
grand a sportsman for that. Nothing
so tangible as a memorial tourna
ment Is necessary to make people
remember Egan, but such a tour
nament, held annually, will serve as
a pleasant reminder of the many
magnificent things he did for Med
ford golf, and In other fields, here
and elsewhere.
The tournament will be 73 holes

Director Clark states that the first

Because of the Roseburg victory
last Sunday at Roseburg, Jackson
county's team must win both games

Why
'Tennis is a great game, I'll admit, said the sales
manager. "I used to play a lot of tennis and still play
occasionally, but mostly I play golf."
"You see. it's this way in tennis I have to be
right there, when and where, the ball goes, or I miss
the point. In golf whether I smack one down the
fairway or putt on the green, that little ol' ball just
sets there and waits for me."
Most advertisers like newspapers for about the
same reason the sales manager likes golf prospects
don't have to be in any one place at any one time,
because the newspaper may be picked up and read
at any time that suits the convenience and the mood
of the prospect. Dad may do his reading on the train
or car. mother in mid-day or after dinner, and junior
members of the clan at whatever time they're home.

Jacobs Determined to Pit
Louis, Baer in September
By GAYLB TALBOT
OTSW YORK. July IS. (AP) The hot weather and even hotter com
ments. In the public prints were thought to have taken Mike Jacobs'
mind off a Joe Louts-Max Baer fight In September, but It appears to
have been a false hope.
The Sixth avenue lmpressarlo .is
dogged snd determined about the
matter, and besides, he explains,
Baer has s contract. With Mike feel
ing that way about It, a miracle
will be required to avert a Louls
Baer fight sometime, somewhere.
In Mike's behslf. It must be ad
mitted that up to two days ago he
was willing to be reasonable. He
was about ready to retire to his
New Jersey estate for the remainder
of the summer and attend to his
peonies. But then Louis flew In on
him unexpectedly from Chicago and
said he wanted to fight In Septem
ber, and out the window went Mike's
good resolutions.
Twice yesterday he had long talks
with Louis' co-msnagrrs, Julian Black
and John Roxborough. In Chicago,
and they are about to make s deal.
The eminent Tony Galento, It Is
painful to report, does not figure
prominently In Mikes plans, despite
the fact he has been named No. 1
challenger by the national boxing
association. Mike only grins at men
tion of Tony's claims.
The simple truth is. of course.
