Chicago, Aug. 19.-Victor s.. Rice of the
University of Chicago, champion intercol-
legiate sprinter Of the west, will probably
never run another race, having developed
an acute kidney trouble. His physician
told him yesterday; the disease would
prove fatal unless he refrained from al
forms of violent physical exercise. While
there is some hope that the speedy ma
room will be able to carry his college col
ors on the cinder path again the doctor
advises him to renounce racing perma-
nently.
Rice resigned yesterday afternoon as {
member of the G.. "A. A. team and will no
be seen in the Olympic contests at st
Louis. Since he began training he has
complained of being unable to work VI
his old dtime speed and endurance. This
led to the medical examination which hal
ended his athletic career.

One notable feature Of the meeting was
the absence of entries from ST. Paul and
