Manufacturers Rent Quarters for

Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, Aug. est is practi-
cally understood that little change VIII
be made in the route used last year for
the Wander pilt cup race Chairman
Jefferson de Mont Thompson intends
to make personal inspection this week
of the Long Island roads over which
last years race was held. Improve
ments are likely to be made at the
dangerous Albertson curve where FOX
hall Keene's car ran into the telegraph
pole in taking the turn at high rate
of speed
That the manufacturers who have en-
tered cars for the elimination trials to
pick the American team do not anticl-
pate any radical change is clearly seen
by the large number of training quar-
ters that have already been secured for
the drivers and assistants who VIII
manage the fifteen cars entered for the
American team.
Quarters were rented for the Pope
Toledo staff several weeks ago Quar-
ters have also been retained for the
Matheson, Oldsmoblle Apperson,
Prayer Miller and Thomas cars.
George Fl. Robertson who Is to drive
the new Apperson car In the Vanderpiit
cup race, reports that the car is mn
ished.
The three Thomas cars are also prac-
tically completed, and soon after the
arrival of Callois and lie Blon, who arc
to drive two of them, the cars will be
sent to Long Island.
Finish Maxwell Cars
The eight and twelve cylinder Max
well cars are being completed at the
Tarrytown factory. The entire engine
of the eighty cylinder car is finished,
and is being tested In the factory.
This engine represents the combina-
tion of two of the regular four-cylinder
engines used in the Maxwell touring
car, with slight variations in the oiling
system and reductions in the size OF
the castings so as to bring. the machine
well below the weight limit.
The twelve cylinder car is about

Greeks Hiss

Georgantas was second with 107 feet
I 13 inches. Sheridan could only do
about ninety-two feet at this style.
There was another objection from Geor-
gantas which was oVerruled and some
Kissing and bowling from the crowd,
for the Greeks thought their champion
had been robbed of a victory.
In the report of the games j. f. Sui
livan alludes to the contest thus: Il
doubt if there was a man entered i'm the
competition who knew exactly what he
had TO do other than Georgantas.
When the throwing began the judges
consisted of three Greek gentlemen, and
they of course knew the game, but as
the contest progressed the several mem
bers of the International jury who had
men in the event hampered the de-
cisions of the judges, claiming ali
sorts of things for their proteges. for
almost every thrower had a style of
his own, and all nearly wrong.
Then after the event had been partly
spoiled with objections the judges, fear
ing criticisms, began to grow lenient,
with the result that Jaervinen, the big
Fin" was allowed to score a victory.
l thought he did not throw according
to the Greek rule. At least if his style
was Greek, so was Sheridan's.
In the first round Sheridan made a
throw OF 102 feet, but was disqualified
for swinging his arm around the body

Trouble With Officials

The trouble between Georgantas and
the officials of the Olympic games, par
ticularly Prince George, began early in
the meet. 1t first appeared at the dis
Gus throwing free style which is the
same as the American style, except
that in Greece the circle is raised a
few inches and is almost two feet larg
er in diameter. The contest did not
arouse much enthusiasm among the
Greeks and it was held in an open lot
outside the stadium.
Sheridan's best throw was 1856 feet
one-third inch, and to this Georgantas
objected on the ground that Sheridan's 5
foot overhung the edge of the circle.
Prince George would not entertain the
protest. Sheridan reluctantly accepted
second place. with 124 feet ten inches.
T. eorgantas won the stone putting with
65 feet 4A inches against 62 feet Az
inches for Sheridan.
In the Greek style of throwing the
discus, which is from Il pedestal, the
thrower has to observe several poises
and must, in order to carry out the
ancient classic idea, deliver the missile
with a round arm swoop from under
Meath
AS far as the correct method went
Georgantas had all his opponents beat

effect an Improvement on Milo's an

GE0RGANTAS WHO DEFEATED
SHERIDAN arrives
In Bad odor with countrymen, Who
Claim that He Publicly Insult
ed the King at Olympic
Games

Quite a formidable aspirant fol
American athletic honors in the weight
throwing line arrived in New York a
couple of days ago in the person OF
George Georgantas of Athens, Greece
champion of his country at the discus
and the man who defeated Martin
Sheridan in the stone putting contest
at the Olympic games last spring.
The Greek has come to stay for quite
while and incidentally he will have
a shy at the best weight throwers here
but he is especially anxious to have a
few more trials with Sheridan In the
American method of throwing the dis
Gus.
Since the date of the Olympic games
Georgia ntas has been in bad odor with
the government authorities of Greece,
for he publicly insulted King George
by refusing his prizes the closing day
of the games.
The athlete gave out several long in
terviews to the papers justifying his
action, and they were to the effect that
he was wronged by the officials in
throwing the discus, Greek style. But
this did not please those in authority,
although Georgantas had the sympathy
of a big majority ST the Greeks in and
around Athens.
For a while it looked as if the discus
thrower would suffer official ostracism,
but as time wore on the episode died
away and then Georgantas thought he
would exile himself and set sail for
America.

The young men Of that African race,

". between the ages approximately OF
seventeen and twenty-seven. When III
this stage they are known in their own
language as el moran. They pull the
head hair out to its greatest length,
even sometimes twisting and plating
fiber and string into their wool. The
hair is then thickly coated with mutton
fat and red clay and tied into perukes.
All hair on the face and body is pluck
ed out by iron tweeZers. The skin is
kept constantly fabricated with NUT
ton fat mixed with red clay, but as
rule the body is not disagreeably oily,

| of giving a beautiful polish to their
| statuelike forms.
AS regards the body there is proba-

COIors and the Nerves.

According to Professor Redard OF
Geneva, Switzerland, each of the prl-
mary colors has a special and well de-
fined action on the organism. Red
light is an exciting and an irritating
agent. 1t modifies the virulence OF
certain eruptions and has been used in
cases of varioloid. Yellow light seems
to have depressing action, while with
blue light is obtained a sensation OF
calm and ease. To apply the anaes-
thetic method with blue light the pa
tent is seated on a chair at ten inches
from a fifteen candlepower 1ncandes
cent lamp. The bulb of the lamp Is OF
blue glass, and it has nickeled re-
fector The head is covered Win a
thin blue veil, and the patient dlrects
his vision toward the lamp. After a
few minutes the subject is found to
be in an unconscious state. In this
state tooth can be extracted or other
| short operation carried out without
! pain. The effect is not attributed tt
hypnotism, but to the direct action Of
the rays upon the nerve centers.
