Chinese Olympic football * team, has turned down an attrac- - tive offer to turn professional by joining the Red Star Club of Paris. Lee's performance during a recent match against the Red Stars which resulted in a draw so impressed the manager of the Club, that he was offered to stay in France to join their team at a monthly salary of 2,500 francs.

A lump sum of 25,000 francs was also offered him upon sign- ing the contract. Lee, however. courteously declined the offer as

GERMAN VIEWS ON US. NEGROES

(By Howard Marshall)

Berlin, August 8. THIS is the first day that no new world's record has been created in these Olympic Games. We have had some fine running, for all that, and A. G. K. Brown and W. Roberts fought magni- ficently against the two American negroes, Wil- liams and Luvalle, in the 400 Metres final.

Brown had the misfortune to draw the outside lane, but he sprinted superbly, and thrust his way into second place, only a foot behind the winner.

A fine race, but these American negroes are not popular with the German crowd. There is no feeling against them individually, but the Germans have done well in the Games, and they argue that they would be leading on total points, but for the American negro contingenti
