THE 1896 OLYMPIC GAMES CANCELLATIONS by Joe Schirmer, Associate Editor
Anyone who collects Olympic stamps should not only have an interest in the first Olympic issue from Greece but should also experience the thrill of trying to assemble a collection of First Day cancellations of this issue. A Decree-Law published in the Official Gazette No. 33 of August 10-12, 1895 authorized the issue of these 12 stamps and set their "absolute" value as approximately 200,000 drachmas. The First Day of issue was officially was March 25, 1896. At the time of issue of these Olympic stamps, there were two Central Post Offices in Athens and 8 known branch offices, with strong evidence pointing to a No. 9 which however, has never been seen on an authentic cancelled cover; but most authorities feel that it will eventually appear probably from some remote and/or unknown collection.
121 The photograph shows the 2 Central Post Office cancellations in the top row, and the branch P. O. cancellations in the other 2 rows. The photograph is the actual size of the cancellations. The 8 branch cancellations come with either the Greek word Proine (/7) meaning AM in the cancellation or the word Esprerini (£) meaning PM. No. 8 cancellation can come with the year either above or below the hour. Nos. 3, 6 & 7 cancellations are by far, the easiest and most common; and one should not experience any prob lems in obtaining them for their collection. We would like to see all you Olympic buffs try and assemble, first; a collection of the 10 different cancellations. Then go for the "big one"—try and assemble a collection of all 10 cancellations with each cancellation on each of the 12 stamps. That would give you 120 cancels. Keep me posted on how you do. Least you forget, there will be no first day cancellations from OLYMPIA as this post office was not opened until Sept. 15, 1899.

COMMONWEALTH GAMES 1974 by Joe Schirmer, Associate Editor
Recently I received a copy of a new book entitled "Xth British Common-.- wealth Games 1974" published by the postal History Society of New Zealand and edited by my friend Gerald Lawson. While but 13 pages, and well printed by mimeograph, this book has a wealth of information for sport collectors. It sells for $3.00 US and is sent via airmail. Just about everything in the realm of the Commonwealth Games is covered .... background history; sporting venues; Games post offices; stadium postal services; stamps Issued; slogan cancellations; etc. I feel this work is a very handy piece of reference and well worth the cost. For full details, write to Joe at: Hudson Towers, 7300 Blvd. East, North Bergen, NJ 07047.

Epstein Sports and Olympic philatelists have, collectively, a great deal of knowledge, which when pooled, can be of mutual benefit. Questions concerning sports and Olympic philately will be assigned a number and published in JSP. Responses to questions will be printed in subsequent issues. Address all questions and answers to your editor: Edward B. Epstein, Paterson Board of Education, 33 Church St., Paterson, NJ 07505 U.S.A. A—39 Serge Groussard's book "The Blood of Israel" incorrectly states that the Israeli Olympic Team flew to the Munich Games on Lufthansa Airlines. Your editor requested Sam Sloan, Executive Director for the New York State Olympic Committee, to write a letter of in quiry to his good friend Haim Glovinsky, Hon. Secretary of the Israeli Olympic Committee. The reply, written by Mr. Glovinsky on Israeli Olympic Committee stationery, dated Sept. 19, 1976 states, "The airline used by the Israeli Olympic team to munich was El-Al. The return flight was also El-Al , a special plane carrying the coffins of the 11 Israeli victims. Many thanks to Pistiner Izchac of Haifa, Israel who also confirmed the fact that the Israeli team flew El-Al by consulting Mr. Lalkin, Chief of the Israel Olympic Delegation. Mr. Izchac also provides additional information about the 1972 Israeli Olympic Team Flight Covers, of which about 200 are known to exist, cancelled Aug. 21, 1972 from Lod (airport) Flight Station 2 and cacheted "Spec ial Flight/El-Al/Israeli Olympic Team/XX Olympic Games/Munich 1972/21.8.1972/ Lod-Munchen." Addressed to Zvl Zorea, Olympic Games Centre, Munich- W. Germany. The reverse side of the covers have an Munich -W Olympic Opening Day 26.8.1972 arrival backstamp and an additional Israeli postage of 40 Agorot affixed and tied by the same Lod cancel and instructions to return the covers to the addressee (P.O. 44440, Haifa). The covers arrived in Haifa Sept. 19, 1972 as indicated by the Haifa arrival backstamp. The reverse side of the cover, in your editor's collection, bears the control number 94. Mr. Izachac knows the Israeli Electrical Engineer Mr. Zorea personally and states that the covers were produced by Mr. Zorea and Mr. Shneior, a stamp dealer. "Mr. Zorea did send all the covers with the flight on the 21st of August which carried the main body of the Olympic team. They were backstamped Aug. 26 in Munich, the date of the Opening Ceremony." The Haifa forwarding address on the reverse side of the covers (P.O. 44440) are Mr. Shneior's.

PHILATELIC DETECTIVE WORK AT THE TEE by Joe Schirmer, Associate Editor On 7 April 1977 when the U.S.P.S. issued the commemorative golf envelope at Augusta, Georgia, the majority of us golf nuts were most HAPPY. Being a top notch golf nut myself (seniors champ, etc.) I decided that I would get my FDC autographed by the designer Guy Salvato of Columbus, Ohio—who incidentily is also a real golf nut and plays to a very good 5 handicap. I have other US sports and Olympic sheets and envelopes autographed by de signers, so we figured this would be a nice item to round out the Olympics, horse- racing, tennis, bowling, etc. But the problem was complicated by the fact that the philatelic press nor Golf Digest magazine who carried the design stories knew where to locate Guy. Being a half baked detective of sorts (caused by many years of free lance writing and researching) I tackled the problem, and for the first time in my life it worked the first try without any re-runs. I knew Salvato was a partner in an ad vertizing design firm in Columbus, so I wrote the postmaster there, explained my problem and asked him to forward my unsealed letter and golf envelopes. Say what you will about our lousy postal service and lax employees, BUT the boys at Columbus, Ohio are 4.0—within 10 days I had my golf covers back and duly signed by Salvato along with a nice personal note from him. It justs proves the old saying "where there is a will there is a way". This is Guy's first crack at stamp designing, but he did a great job, and Stevan Dohanos of the U.S.P.S. who asked him to do the design certainly picked the right man.

This time Bill won a Silver at ROMPEX'77 a large show held recently in Denver. This just proves that SPI collectors can win IF they exhibit. It just proves that if a collection is well presented, it can win again and again. It just proves that some SPI members are interested in furthering Olympic and sports collecting by exhibiting. It just proves that there are some SPI members who will work and help support the SPI organization as a whole... (Joe Schirmer). Leonard K. Eichorn V ice-Pres ident, SPI Leonard K. Eichorn.
