HUNGARIANS AND MEXICANS CONSIDER THESE ITEMS NECESSARY TO CONDITIONING OF THEIR OLYMPIC HOPES

By VERNON MORGAN

London, July 14.–As the invasion of London by Olympic competitors from all parts of the world_gathers momentum-representatives of more than 20 nations have already taken up residence in the various Olympic camps- the storing and distribution of vast amounts of food becomes a major prob. lem.

The extra food and delicacles brought or being sent by various teams to augment and bamboo their rations in Britala range from cavlare and cream for the Swedes shoots for the Chinese to tubes of vitamins for Argentina's competitors and wines and liqueurs for the Hungarians.

In addition to their cream and caviare, the Swedes are sending 1,500 pounds of sprats--n small fish of the herring family. The Mexicans are hoping that 150 pumpkins and some extra strong Mexican cigarettes will help to keep thoir athletes in top form,

Calcutta, July 14.-Chinese footballers badly let down their supporters here today in the second exhibition match between the Chinese and the East Bengal local aide. The Chinese lost by two goals to nil.

A rainsodden field also affected the Chinese Olympic team's play. The crowd was seriously annoyed over the Chinese, play which was marred by fouls.--Associated Press.

Rain

Again Interferes With County Cricket

Gentlemen v. Players At Lords

London, July 14.—Rain again affected most of today's county cricket matches and it was not possible to start the Surrey versus Leicestershire game at Kennington Oval, London.

In addition, no play was possible before lunch in two other matches, while interruptions occurred in most games during the afternoon.. This was unfortunate, as it could be termed "Gruce Day." The Gentlemen versus Players' fixture at Lords was a commemorative game of the cen- tenary of the birth of Dr W. G. Grace, perhaps cricket's most famous personality.
