By BILL Nazi Spor sne Hitler Turned His Back When Czech Sportsmen Passed ered Home BENNETT The victory of the US track and field team in Germany brought out something of the Nazi attitude to sports and ath- letics. Americans is summed up in the well.” The American boys scored a de- cisive victory, winning 12 out of 20 firsts and registering 122 points to the Germans’ 92. The star performer in the meet was the negro, Ben Johnson, who took firsts in the 100 meters and 400 meters, almost equalling the world’s record in the latter event, admittedly not a pleasing sight for the select Aryan grandstand. Though “they don’t march well,” the Americans took the Nazis out to the woodshed and fave them a Hiding to remember. Visiting athletes can expect only insults from thes. arrogant super- racial Maniacs. Everyone remem- bers the insulting behaviou: of their Fuehrer towards the black Star of the last Olympics, Jesse Owens. This was repeated last month at the Breslau Sports Fes- tival. With Henlein, Hitler watched with smiling face, the German eompetitors march around the arena. When the Czechs appeared he turned his back on them and talked with his friends. As soon as the Czech flags had passed he beamed again on the procession. Ergo, as the mathematics teachers Say, civilized spertsmen should Stay away from Waziland.

Winning teams were placed Britain, Czechoslo- vakia, Germany, in that order. Im- mediately the result was known, the German team received a spe- cial message from Huhniein, chief of the German sports organization in Berlin, to return home at once and a special train was orderea to take the team from Nottingham to Plymouth to connect with the Europa. This, despite the fact tha? they had a program of races ahead.

The Germans were ordered home for a rest (maybe arrest) by the president of the German Tennis Federation, Shoeborn. Henner Henkel, who is credited with reporting “the political indis- eretions” of yon Cramm (rumored to have committed “suicide” in a Wazi dungeon last month) has been ordered home three times but he is such a valuable stool pigeon that he has been excused on recon- sideration and is still in the States. = = = * Schmelinge’s fate should be a warning to German sports who look with covetous eyes on the honors or gold of the democratic countries. A diplomatic correspondent of an Enelish paper writes from Ger- many: “The recent defeat of Schmeling in New York was re— ceived with general delight throughout Germany, so that a prominent newspaper had to ex- plain in a leading article that no Joss of national prestige was in- volved.” This is an answer to the claims of the Wazi chiefs that the Ger- man people are 99 percent for them. It emphasizes the discontent and disillusionment of the real Germans with the Nazi rule. For the sports fans it means that, in spite of Mike Jacobs’ contract, Schmeling will never be seen again in America. Nor will any ether German boxer be allowed again to risk putting the Aryan nonsense in the comic strip wuere Joe Louis knocked it when he clipped Schmeling on the point of his prognathous jaw. Continued Two Jobless Convicted; One Found Not Guilty was unable to drag any evidence from either their own witnesses, police officers or defence wit messes, that the accused boys were seen doing anything but “running.” They did not shout or yell or even speak to the of- ficers, they just “tran.” Circumstantial evidence was built up in each trial around the fact that the men were running down the streets on which win- dows had been broken. Cross-examining Lariviere, Bran- ea tried to make him admit that he was with a group of men who were breaking windows. “The men in front of you breal— ing windows were your comrades, weren't they?” - OF course,” de- clared Branca, despite Lariviere’s reiterated statements that he did not see any windows being broken. His simple but clear statement “I Gid mot break any window there (the provincial relief office) nor anywhere else,’ frustrated Bran- ea'’S eross questioning and verbal traps. By tracing MWariviere’s move- ments after he left the post office, confused by chasing policemen and affected by gas fumes, along all routes where windows were smashed, Branca inferred by police evidence and his own summary that this damage was done by the accused man. Judge Murphy made a longs dis- sertation on the ethics of Canadian justice and his explanation of cir— ecumstantial evidence given by police officers was that “if you be- lieve these police officers you have no alternative but to find the ac- cused guilty.” The jury, however, by its verdict of “not guilty” in the LIariviere case showed they were not so ready to believe police evidence as His Lordship. Appeal for dismissal of cach case by defence counsel Adam Johnston on the grounds that insufficient evidence had been produced by the crown to support the charges, was peremptorily refused by Judge Murphy and referred to the jury, for full hearing. Sixty-three Single men on the technical charge of “obstructing the police’’ were this week sentenced to ten days each in Oakalla jail. unemployed Continued Joint Press Drive Gets Away To Good Start been formed.
