BRITAIN'S OLYMPIC TEAM TO COST $10,800.
Party of 72 Bound For Teath Olympiad.
The cost of sending the Bri- tish team to compete in the Olympic Games at Los Angeles next month is estimated in the "British Olympic Journal" at £10,800. That sum would, it is thought, cover the expenses of seventy-two athletes find officials.
"Whether this number can be increased depends solely upon the result of the appeal. The impossibility of estimating ac- curately the cost per man, owing to the fluctuating rate of exchange, mikes the position still more difficult. So far as can be ascertained at present, the cost will be at least £150 per man," states the journal.

SUCCESS OF TILDEN'S TEAM,
A cable message from the manager of the Davis Cup team, Mr. J. Clemenger to the Australian Lawn Tenak Association, states that, subject to satisfactory financial arð rangements being made, the United States Association prepared to send to Australia team consisting of Ellsworthy Vines, Wilmer Allisan, John van Ryn, and Keith Gledhill The three first-named would be accompanied by their wives. The suggestion in the message is
There will be no world's heavy-weight championship fight in London this year, as was hoped, with Larry Gains, the Canadian negro, as the challenger. Immediately it was known in London that Jack Sharkey had taken the title from the German, Max Schmeling, in their fight in New York, a challenge was cabled to Sharkey on behalf of Gains.
