Alpine Athletic Club Championship Team
Cross-Country Running-A Letter From
an Eintracht Athlete.


nastc tournament THE CALL said that out
of nine entries from the Entracht Turn We
rein there were but two representatives.
The reason given that the Eintracht Club
had such a poor representation was that the
teacher objected to any of his pupils taking
part who were not thoroughly fitted to con-
test in all-around athletics. Among the
Eintracht athletes there are very few men
who can compete with other clubs in out
door games, and. as q consequence, the in
structor had no particular desire to see his
pupils defeated by the clever all-around ath-
letes of the Olympic Club.
The following letter in reference IL the
above from the Eintracht Club is self-ex-
planatory:
SDortinQ Editor Gait: The reason why only
Two OF The nine entries from the Etutracht Turn
Section participated at The gymnasllc tourna-
ment of Inc olympic Club Will be explained by
the following:
Mr.. KoIp had induced Mr.. Stahl, The Eintraeht
teacher, 10 act as one of the judges at the tour
uament. lie Olympic Club, through its Secre-
taly, invited Mr. Stahl in writing TO act as
r Judge, and Mr.. Stah accepted also in writing,
stating that he felt himself honored and that he
would endeavor 10 do justice TO all aud render
fair decisions.
Just previous 10 The tournament Mr. SIahl re-
celyed note from The Olympic Club stating that
some OF the outside competitors objected 10 his
.acImg as judge, aud that another Judge had been
appOnteu III his stead. Now as here were no
others but Olymi ic Club and EinIracht gymnasts
entered for the tournament, the objection could
have only come from the club that invited hlr.
StaBl TO act as judge. Mr.. Stahl justly took such
acton OF the olympic Club as an insult, and tie
Eintracht boys upnodng MN i'll the same, The
majority declined to compete.
In regard TO lie EinGracht athletes having
very few men VINO could successfully compete
with other clubs IN outdoor games stated.
