 If the hissing of the Americans by l'the Greeks. on account of the success | of the American team in the Olym- i plan games is true, as reported. 1t l showed the Greeks to be anything | but true sportsmen. Out of the ten events contested for on that partic- ular day, the Americans were first in i five of them, surely a record to be proud of. In the S00-meter race, Jas. D. Lightbody of the Chicago Uniyer- sity. won. In the running long jump, Meyer Prinztein of the Irish-American Club, New York, won. In the 4O0- meter race, Harry l.. Hillman of the New York Athletic Club, was first. NJ. J. Sheridan of the IrishAmerican Club, won in throwing the weight There was hardly an event in which an American did not finish inside the money.
 Word comes from Portland. Ore, where the remains of the late Jack Dempsey are buried, that the grave is neglected and covered with weeds and grass If such is the case it is to be regretted, as no more popular fighter ever lived than the Nonpareil. There are thousands of ring followers who will remember him as the honest, in vincsble Dempsey, and. who would gladly donate to properly care for the grave and erect a suitable monument. It is to be hoped some such action will be taken.

Spiers and Blondy Davidson were out yester- day in the neighbcrhood of Bakers vile and the Saginaw looking for a suitable location for the new Leggett trap which has just arrived. If they are successful !n getting q location with the desired sky line, they hope to have everything in readiness for next Sunday. he new Leggett trap is to have a solid concrete fOunda- ton and is spoken of very highly among the members of the Gun Club.
