It is said that amateur sports would

various intercollegiate events Il was the
desire OF the committee that the va
rlous college associations should be In
vited to undertake as far as possible
the arrangements Of all the necessary
details contested herewith.
While amateur sports would comprise
a large part OF the program Il was pro-
posed to have such a number OF pro-
fessional contests as would allow visit
ors an opportunity to witness the ath-
letic skin Of the best professionals.
The character Of prizes that viii be
offered had not yet been definitely de-
termmed upon, but the prizes awarded
would be of value as lasting souvenirs.
Although no definite engagements
have been made. the following games
have been tentatively planned by the
committee and are now the subject Of
correspondence;
College baseball: college football: the
Intercollegiate meet. which Is usually
held each wear In this city; the annual
track and field championship meet OF
the Amateur Athletic Union: lawn ten

for the championship OF the world:
cycling: Gaelic football: water sports;
basket bill; croQuet; Caledonian games;
gymnastics; cricket; bowling: profess
sional baseball; New York state school

Nearly all OF the contests win be

Difficulty Between Holland and

mlssal BY Portugal War
Not Probable.

LONDON. Dec. S.-Though the trcu-
BILE between Holland and Portugal can
scarcely result in war. il Is far more
serious and interesting than generally
regarded here.
Great Britain Is concerned in the af-
fair more deeply than appears on the
surface. The Associated Prsss learns
that it is due to British protests to
Portugal that the exeQuatur Of Herr
Potts. the Dutch consul at Lourenco
Marques. was withdrawn and the visit
OF the British fleet to Portuguese wa
ters is something more than q coinci-
dence.
The Lisbon press frankly declares 1t
was lnteneed as a warning demonstra-
tion to other nations to keep their
hands of Portugal British officials
also do not hesitate to admit their
governments readiness to back up the
action which Portugal took at its re-
quest. Hence Holland can do little
more than gracefully make the best Of
a bad job unless she receives the sup
port Of some OF the great powers. which
is very remote contingency"
