French Officials Said to Have Violated
Their Promises.
FINALS IN ATHLETICS SET FOR SUNDAY
Progress of the Western Tennis
tournament.


| A. A. Stage, manager of the Chicago ath-
letic team, now in London, and who Is
acting as special correspondent of the New
York Herald, telegraphs that paper from
the English metropolis as follows:
| The University of Pennsylvania Uni
versity of Chicago and New York Athletic
Club teams will leave Brighton Wednesday
for Versailles. where they will complete
their training for the Paris games.
The question of the hour is: Will they
need to do further training? The program
of events recently sent out by the French
managers state that the preliminary heats
will take place next Saturday and the final
heats Sunday. 1t may be imagined what
has been the effect of such an announce
ment at this time.
Everyb body here feels that it Is a most
contemplate trick. Not a single American
university would have sent team or have
been represented by one had 1t not been
definitely announced that the games would
not be held on a Sunday. The Princeton
and Chicago managers had definite instruc-
tons from their faculties not to arrange for
the, trip except the change of date was
made, and others would have taken the
same course had it not been that A. G.
Spalding. the American director of sports,
received word from the French officials
stating that the games would not take place
on the Sabbath. This letter to Mr.. Spald-
ing is very definite. The University of
Pennsylvania manager has it. and l have
seen II.
Every pressure is being brought to bear
on. the French officials by the managers of
the American teams to have a change made.
Even at this late date it is likely that the
American teams will unitedly refuse to
compete If the French officials persist in
carrying out what seems to us a very nasty
piece OF business-to use no stronger term
The Herald says: When it was announced
cary in the spring that the French author
tiles governing the athletic games at the
Paris exposition had arranged for Sunday
contests many American athletes who had
planned to be among the competitors de-
clared that under such circumstances they
would not go abroad
The attitude of the Americans in the mat
ter was communicated to A. G. Spalding,
American director Of athletics at the expo
sition. and through him to the French au-
thorities.
In letter to Mr.. Spalding early in May
the French officials stated that they recog-
nized the manner in which Sunday Is re-
spected in the United States, and that in
order TO have the pleasure of the particpa-
ton of the Americans. they would agree,
whenever possible, to change the finals
falling on Sunday to weekday.
The letter to Mr.. Spalding was followed
on May % by an announcement from the
French authorities that as concession to
the Americans. the sports, which were
scheduled to begin on Sunday, July IS,
would intsead commence Saturday, July
IA. and be continued on the following Tues
day and Thursday. The finals in which
Americans were entered were to be put
ahead. and the games were to conclude on
tn following Saturday, il possible,
