AN OLYMPIC INCIDENT 1
NEW YORK (ANF> - WEDNESDAY MORNIwG, July 2*. i
early risers heard strange radio comment. On the Huesheid of j
the ’opening of the Hth Olympiad, a sour note cropped up in l*v
peculiar attitude of Dean Cromwell, fid-year oW roach >i th
American Olympic s'iu:.ui
Darney Ewell, the veteran sprinter w.-r< •! the Lv.m.-i'-n, in .
American tinals licked Mel Patton, Cromwell’: net. comp!,■m*\l o',
coaching technique designed to impede hi; waning chances i rrap;
v-cli forced Ewell to workout on a ‘On your m irk, - get set. -Go |
routine which is entirely foieign to Olymmpic rules and standard
according to the radio commentator who voiced Barney r mdignu
-1 * When this writ*-'- was first to comment on Cron veil's biased
remarks'against Negrons and Jews, there was much *:.v- brow raisinc; j
and looks as if to'say: ‘ Does he rcaliv know what In;.- v--ippin.;

MR. BRUNPAGE APPROVES
Avery Brtmduge. United Stales Olympic committee presiden
Whose views on the fundamental concept' of amateurism have often
l, ought hot coals do vn upon his head, voted on my side d the j
fence this time. Whii t Barney Ewell was away with contesting j
Yankee Olympians, his wife and baby residing at Lancaster, Pa.,
needed money to live on until the head-ofdhc-hou:-e returned -
his wigwam.
A number of peisons who have read mv attacks upon Hrun
dage when I felt he deserved same, wrote in raying they knew j
Biundage would not permit a Lancaster Citizens committee to lake
cate of Ewell's fa mi'* since this would be construed a: an inti c
t.on of strict AAU i i<- We are happv to report that Mi. Brun
dage, at a London meeting approved the fund-raising.
kOTH CENTURY, ANGLES FOR LOUIS
Joe Louis has retired. Would von want any he tin authority
than the indignant it marks >f the peerless rirfgmnn himself that
were aired over radio and thru the papers two weeks ago? Despite
all this weighty evidence. Sri Strati s, that alh-r-ego ol ailing Mile
Jfcobs, sits and stews with British-horn Ted Broadribb, manager of
Freddie Mills, world’s ’ightheavy king, about it September light
between Louis and Mills;!
Mills, who was unable tn whip the colored-American scrapper
Lloyd Marshall who in turn was himself slaughtered by tins
column's candidate, Ezzard Charles, spoiled a Louis-Le;nevieh bout j
had Joe derided to keep on. A fonnei English carnival siugg
who met all comers in these country-fair shows. Mills might sign
for a Charles bout with Babe Culnan, president and matchmaker
