The punch that did it left the Chicago big crowd gasping, says the Japan') Chronicle. Noguchi has been king of the welters so long that his defeat was totally unexpected. For two rounds the Japanese bore into his man, but Crighton boxed coolly, 1 and was never flustered." At the close of the first round, Crighton got Noguchi against the ropes, and punished him severely in the body.

The second round was full of Philadelphia action, Nogucht again starting it, Pittsburgh.

Dugas hit a home run. but in the end he had the worst of it the Briton's left hooks finding the mark nearly every time.

The third round was brief. Crighton forced the fighting in this Bession, and twenty seconds after the gong, put across a hard right which got Noguchi full on the chin.. He made an attempt to rise, but was obviously out, and had to be carried to his corner.

BOROTRA'S GLORIOUS SWAN SONG

(Continued from Page 1:)

a

Brilliant play by Borotra in France's hour of need staved off the fierce American Challenge for "possession of the Davis Cup.' It |

vas à magnificent climax to career which has captivated the infèrest of all followers of tennis. Porotra's matches against Vines and Allison were probably the last he has played for France as he is now thirty-five and fast losing his. name, "the bounding Basque." His: defeat at Wimbledon at the hands of the moderate Spanish | champion, H. Maier, was. he said, bis swan song. Never again will Wimbledon see the "Rupert of the racket" in action. “He part- nered Jacques Brugnon in 1928 when France first won the Trophy and it looks as if these two- two of France's "Four Musket- eers" will leave international tennis together, after upholding French prestige for six years.

Cochet v. Vines.

Had Borotra lost to Allison then would there have been battle royal between Cochet and Vines, who were meeting for the first time. Cochet, with every- thing at stake, would probably have won Yesterday's result was no indication, though the American's remarkable recovery gives room for speculation Cochet had nothing to lose. He has never considered his own in- dividual fame before his country,} and France had won the Trophy before he took the court against America's No. 1 ranking player. The Last Year,

On the face of things it looks as if this will be France's last year of supremacy as the Ameri- can challenge is becoming more and more formidable. Cochet! may again be France's mainstay, but he has only Andre Merlin, Marcel Bernard and Christian Boussus to support him, all of whom would be beaten by the first ten players în America. ́.

OLYMPIC GAMES WILL COST SIX MILLION.

Construction of Stadium and Housing of 2,000

Athletes.

$480 PER MAN.

When the sons of ancient Greece trakked to Olympia in Ellis thou- sands of years ago for the games of the Olympiad, financial w worries were at a minimum.

Only a small amount of money, meagre records show, was necessary to enable the flower of Greece's)

mashood to participate in these an- cient, sport celebrations,

But as the games of the Olym-; piad were carried down through the centuries, elaborate preparatioña | resalted in increased expenditure.]

The expenditures will reach high peak this summer' when the tenth Olympic games are held in

д

Los Angeles. The financial aspect- of what has become an international į institution reaches astounding pro- portions.

So that the Olympic torch may pursue its way through the ages," $6,041,000 wit! have been speat when the last event of the

1932

Olympic games is staged in the west coast city.

'Million Voted

Construction of nine stadiums, auditoriums and

water courses, with seating capacities ranging from 2000 to 105,000, and erection

o a miniature city for the housing

of 2000 athletes during the games,

has sent expenses of the first Olym

pic games to be held in the United States climbing skyward.

The state of California and city and county of Los Angeles already have spent millions in preparation for the games.

To insure financial success of the games, the people of the state three years ago voted a $1,000,000, bond issue, the money being used by the organizing committee for construc tion work with the understanding that it would be returned to the coffers of the state from profits of the games

Issued Bonda

And nearly $9,000,000 more will be spent before the games, to bel held from July 30 to August 14, are concluded, officials estimate, to care for transportation and hous- ing of the athletes fn Los Angeles, publicity for the games, printing-of 15 tons of tickets and making of hundreds of silver and bronze medals for victorious athletes, not to mention other expenses which appear at the last moment.

Approximately $1,000,000, will be expended by the United States and 49 other countries to send their athletes to Los Angeles for the games, and to house and feed them during their stay in the 1932 Olympic city.

-

This item is quite in contrast to the expenses of the ancient partici pants of the games, who either walked or rode in horse-drawn chariots to Olympia to celebrate the games and slept in tents pitch- ed on the plains until the games were completd.

This year the athletes will be carried to the scene of the gamez in luxurious ocean liners, some in airplanes and others in trains, all of which will add greatly to the expense of the four-yearly celebra attion.

According to figures produced by the organizing committee of the games, approximately $480 per athlete will be spent by each coun- try entered for transportation and housing. Los Angeles officials of the games have informed the vari ons nations that the athletes can be housed and fed during their 16 day stay in Los Angeles at a cost. of $2 per day for each athlete.
