A small supplement for the sports and parts 3 and 4- of the 19th Olympic Games are ready. Part 4 has a whop­ ping 138 pages and consists of the non-member countries of the I.O.C. only. A seperate imperf section was not printed for part 4- since most of these stamps come imperf. K-Line is offering a duplicate part 4- at a reduced price to house your Imperfs. Two new items of interest are offered for these Games. The Host Countries (France and Mexico) only, with the results and the results only. The results are carried out to the sixth place and the Host Countries section is a boon to the col­ lector of limited means who cannot afford to collect the entire Oly. By a unanimous vote, the Board of Directors have increased the price of the back Issues of JSP to 500 each. The main reasons being that we are now on a permanent schedule of publishing bi-monthly. We publish approximately the same number of pages In six Issues as com­ pared to the previous twelve Issues per year. There has been a con­ siderable amount of Inflation the past few years and the postal cost of mailing each issue has gone from 3^ to 80 per copy! This schedule Is now in effect for all back issues that are now on hand. Back issues that are still available, are obtainable from our publisher, Bill Brecht. Your editor needs short articles of approximately one half page long. Results of national and International competitions would do nicely. Check the index to see if any you wish to send in have been published.

Page 5 THE PRESIDENT'S

I have had good results in my plea for exhibits for SPORTKEX. Seven of our members in the United States have indi­ cated that they will send me material to take to Mexico, as well as three of our members in England. One of them is send­ ing five exhibits, so that makes fourteen plus two entries in the Philatelic Liter­ ature class. Our Journal and an entry from K-Llne. I was hopeful that there would be more, but perhaps I will hear of more before Nancy and I leave on June 16th.

The Committee has requested that the Barbara T. Williams SPI Trophy be given and I have agreed. This one time it will be awarded "at the discretion of the Judges", rather than for the "Best in the Sports or Olympics Field", for obvious reasons. I attended WESTPEX, in San Francisco, last weekend, and Emilio Obregon was there from Mexico. He and I, and the other American Judge, James Cheml, of Arizona, had several very rewarding talks, and it looks like It will be a wonderful exhibition. Be on the lookout for the Souvenir Sheet being Issued by Mexico, for SPORTMEX. SPI will be incorporated in the design. Now, that is breaking into the big time, I would say. Hasta la vista.

Page 6 Handbook Of Basketball Stamps

- Bob Bruce - This handbook represents nearly three years of work by a group of dedicated basketball philatelists. In addition to the compiler, they include Salvatore Caruso (Italy), Hugh Gottfried, Larry Moriar- ity, Izchak Pistiner (Israel), Joe Schirmer, Henri Trachtenberg, (France), Hal Wasserman, if. E. Whitesides, Barbara Williams, and Lester Yerkes. From time to time we have used Ollle Enhagen (Sweden), John Murray (Scotland), Ira Seebacher, and Witold Tyms (Poland) as re­ source personnel. The format of this presentation is a modification of that ori­ ginally used by Ira Seebacher in his "Handbook of Sports Stamps". To permit easy addition through yearly supplements, it is arranged chronologically. No individual or group can guarantee absolute accuracy or com­ pletion in such a production; this one is likely no exception. Will the readers kindly report all errors to the compiler at 1457 Cleve­ land Road, Wooster, Ohio 44691"?

Page 10 REVIEWS - Bob Bruce - Trory, Ernest, A Philatelic History of the Olympic Games (Part Six— The XI Olympiad). Brighton, Ens-land: Crabtree Press, Ltd., 32 pp. Printed on glossy art paper (7 1/4" x 9 3/4") with a heavy, two- color cover, this volume covers the IV Winter Olympic Games at Gar- misch-Partenkirchen and the XI Olympic Games in Berlin. All stamps, machine cancellations, postmarks, seals, vignettes, postal station­ ary, etc., receive attention and many are included in the ninety-two illustrations. Throughout the volume the cities using each cancel­ lation are listed. Previous volumes in this series have been described as "defini­ tive" and "a valuable contribution to philatelic literature". Suit- awards were presented by the London International Stamp Exhibition of I960 and the "Verso Tokyo" Exhibition of Olympic Games and Sports Stamps at Rimini in 1964. The author lists three stamps, seven vignettes, two seals, six­ teen publicity machine cancellations, three Games machine cancella­ tions, four post-Games machine cancellations, and two postal cards for the Winter Games. All these philatelic items are clearly illus­ trated in the text. The philatelic output for the Berlin Games was much heavier. For publicty five machine cancellations in Austria, seven meter franks, and nine machine cancellations in Germany are listed and il­ lustrated. The first Olympic torch relay drew four postmarks, four vignettes, and two special postal cards. The airship "Hindenburg" made a special slight on the first day of the Games, carrying mail between Frankfurt and Berlin; an appro­ priate cancellation was used. The text then lists eight stamps, four booklet panes, and two miniature sheets, as well as forty-eight vignettes and twenty-four seals issued in Germany. Nine vignettes and three seals were issued by foreign countries. Twenty-five hand- stamp cancellations are included. The volume concludes with the description of three publicity machine cancellations, one postal card, two machine cancellations, two vignettes, and one seal issued in connection with the yachting events at Kiel. The reviewer cannot judge the completeness of the coverage, but it appears quite comprehensive. This volume sells for $4.50, post­ paid. Parts One to Five of the series cover previous Olympiads; they were published on heavy art paper and punched to fit standard ring binders; they are available from the publisher. Whether Part Six is available in the larger-sized, punched format is not known.

I had two In mind, neither original with me. One could be "My Favorite Cover", with a short summary of the cancels, etc. The other could be "How I Got It", a story of how the collector managed to ac­ quire some elusive item—either by perserverance or by luck. Perhaps he could even explain how he managed to buy it without his wife know­ ing about it! Hal didn't mention it, but many of our members are wom­ en and it would be interesting to find out how they slip those expen­ sive items past their husbands!....Elmer J.

CANDIDATE TOWNS FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES by Helen Turner

In their renaissance the Olympic Games are the embodiment of unity, of place and of choice. The first towns which were charged with the responsibility of unit­ ing the youth of the world collected the unanimous or quasi-unanimous vote as they were a kind of symbol - Athens, the return to the original source - Paris, the touching of the cap to Baron de Coubertin - St. Louis, the New World - London, the Sports Tradition.

London, however, ran into serious competition as it was only thanks to the sudden and unexpected withdrawal of Rome in 1906 that it was chosen by the IOC to organize the Games of the IV Olympiad. Rome had then to wait 52 years and make four bids of candidacy before welcoming the Olympic Flame.

We also know that three Olympiads were not celebrated. Berlin was elected in 1916 and Tokyo in 19/-V0; both in the years to come, had the opportunity of organiz­ ing the Games. Candidates for the 19-W- Games were submitted, but the Olympiad was not held, again because of a world at war.

The unity of place for all the events in the programme has rarely been respec­ ted. The Equestrian Games were held in Stockholm when the Olympic Games were held in Melbourne in 1956, and one often forgets that what we call the 'Nautical Games* (yachting) have practically never been held in or near the Olympic town.

Similarly it has always been very rare that the entire equestrian events and certain shooting competitions remain inside the organizing town.

Is there in the world a town capable of combining the qualities required in a minimum perimeter? This is surely the argument which will be the criterion for the applicants for 1976.

December 31, 1969 was the closing date for the list of candidate towns for the organization of the 1976 Games.

We can now complete the article in the January-February issue on the countries who have made official application as candidates for the 1976 Games.

The International Olympic Committee meets in Amsterdam in May of 1970 and the towns for the 1976 Games will be chosen. The official candidates are as follows:-

Summer Games Winter Games

Montreal, Canada Tampere, Finland Los Angeles, United States Vancouver, Canada Florence, Italy Denver, United State s Moscow, Russia Sion, Switzerland

For those collectors who are statistically minded, a list of candidate towns from 1896 through 1976 will be reviewed in another issue of JSP.

DATED PUBLICATION Please do not delay NICARAGUA. FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME WORLD POLL WINNERS ISSUE TO BE RELEASED ON 11th MAY

Illustrated overleaf are the twelve stamps in the first Nicaragua issue to be handled by the Crown Agents Stamp Bureau. They have been printed by Bruder Rosenbaum of Vienna using the offset litho process and they will be released on the 11th May, 1970. Eleven of the stamps depict recent and contemporary players famous wherever football is played, and it will be seen that they form a complete team. The selection of the team is based upon an opinion poll conducted amongst the worlds leading sports writers by the respected and widely read English monthly "World Sports". One hundred and twenty seven sports writers were asked to nominate their choices for the various positions limiting themselves to players active during the last twenty years; the players shown on these stamps polled the most votes. The twelfth stamp in the series shows the flags of the sixteen countries who have reached the finals in Mexico of the 1970 World Cup.

Supplies of the stamps will be available to all stamp dealers throughout the World, and interested persons should contact their local stamp dealers. In case of difficulties in obtaining the stamps please write to Crown Agents Stamp Bureau (Nicaragua), St. Nicholas House, Sutton, Surrey, England. »»•» Si*** A ••4T4V * .f* WW A NICARAGUA NICARAGUA •MWM I OWNS am
