Leavitt is probably the faster man Of
the two and is by no means an inferior

when he reaches Athens and should max

F. B. Glover is the American who is to
compete in the pole vault. He Is a cham

ought to be good enough to win II the com-

Aside from the track and field athletes,
there are four men who are going to take
part in the swimming events. Foremost
among these is Charles M. Daniels Of the
New York A. c., worlds record holder for
intermediate distances up to and including
100 yards and also American record holder
for distances up to 44o yards. He is prob
ably the best swimmer in the world for
all around ability.
Marquand Schwarz Of the Missouri A. c.
is a capital short and middle distance
swimmer. Joseph Spencer Of the New

pion. H. G. Bornemann is the champion

The track athletes have been practising
together at the old Pastime A. c. grounds
in this city. All have been measured for
athletic costumes for the occasion. No
club suits and emblems are to be worn In

Each athlete will sport a suit OF white

be worn a representation Of the shield Of

style II he never runs another 80 well.
The pentathlum, in which America is
almost as strongly represented as in the
Marathon ace, is a combination of five
events. They are a race for one Olympic
stade of 1872 metres, corresponding to our
22o yard run: a standing broad jump, throw
ing the discus in the Greek style, hurting
the ~javelin and GrRco-Roman wrestling.
All competitors have to take part in ali
five events, which will be conducted on the
same day in order to test endurance thor
oughly.
Americas representatives in this com.
petition are two former all round cham
pions, Martin j. Sheridan of the Irish
American A. A, present holder of the title,
and Ellery H. Clark, Boston A. A, winner
in 1903. Sheridan should win. He is
without a doubt the greatest all round
man the country has ever seen.
In the championship at Boston he not
only finished first in practically every
event, but sent the record number of points
kiting. Nearly 8 feet / inch in height and
weighing close to 100 pounds, he can high
jump Q feet, pole vault II feet and run and
hurdle with grace and speed, and is be-
sides the holder Of the worlds record for
throwing the discus.
In that peculiarly Greek event he is ex-
pected to be the mainstay of the Ameri-
cans. Sheridan, however, does not throw
in the Greek style. The Hellenic method
Is well shown in the statue Of the Disco
bolos,' which represents 9 mar STOPPING

and his right arm is swung well back with
