DIFFICULTIES
PAYING FOR PRIVILEGE OF SEEING US ATHLETES
(By G. MR. HOLMES).
New York
Although there are something like 15 months between now and when the majority of those United States athletes who are to fake part in the Olympic Games * 1936 will be forced to leave for the scene of the contests at Ber Fin, the American Olympic Com- mittee has already started on its plans to finance the trip.
Gustavus T. Kirby, treasurer of the A.O.C. estimates that it is go- cover the ing to take $300,000 to
costs of sending the contingent to the winter and summer games. As the games of 1932 were held in Los Angeles, it will be eight years since Uncle Sain had to send his athletes across the Atlantic Ocean, and that year it took some $350,- men and women 000 to send the
to Amsterdam.
The Money Problem
Raising the money- to-finance Uncle Sam's Olympic teams has
always been a problem ever since
the Boston Athletic Association and Princeton University were re- presenting the United States in the revival of the games way back in 1896.
FIRPO'S SHORT-LIVED RING COMEBACK
KNOCKED DEMPSEY OUT OF RING
TAKEN ILL WITH NEURITIS London, July 10 LUIS FIRPO, who fought in one of the most dramatic world title contests in the history of boxing, threatened recently to return to the ring.
As far back as 1923 - a very long time in sport's breath- less rush Firpo met Jack Dempsey. Soon after that fight came his retirement; he packed away his boxing gloves and set up in business as a motor-salesman.
Then came the depression of 1929, and Firpo was among| those to suffer financially. For a few years he went along quietly, but anxious to recoup his resources, he stated a few weeks ago that he would try to "come back” in boxing.
