OLYMPIC TEAM CHANGES.
EIlery Clark and ID. A. sullivan Drop Out
Parsons In Doubt.

Two Of the athletes chosen by the Olympic
games committee TO compete in Athens next
month have dropped out, according to a
statement made yesterday by Manager
Matthew p. Halpin, They are Ellery IL.
Clark of Boston and d. A. Sullivan of ma
conda, Mont, and both were expected to
compete in the "pentathalum. .
Clark came TO New York on Monday and
notified Manager Halpin that circumstances
would prevent him from accompanying the
American team to Greece. What the par
ticular difficulty was Manager Halpin. was
unable to state. II Is believed that tIark
has been out OF training for so long a period
that he could not hope to get into condition
in the short period OF time between his seleo-
ton as q competitor and the date OF the
games. He was chosen for the good showing
he put up in 1908, when he won the al-round
championship.
sullivan has not been heard from as yet,
and this has occasione ed the belief thathe will
not go with the Americans. Manager Halpin
has been rounding up all the men who were
chosen for the team and is now IN touch with
all of them except sullivan. They have been
notified of the date they will leave and given
all necessary Instructions.
A committee meeting will be held some day
this week TO decide the case of Ell, b. Parsons,
the crack half miller OF Yale, who has just OBJ
tanned leave from the New Haven faculty to
lea We college for a period Of about two months
IN order to go to Greece with the American
team. Parsons procured this permission
because it was decided by the Olympic games
committee that no college athlete should be
taken on the team until he had procured
the con sent OF his faculty. IL seems mat
Yale's athletic authorities were much opposed
TO his going because he was the mainStay OF
the college in the half mile event and the best
Of the relay runners.
According to a report that has come from
the college Julian W. Curtis, one OF the
graduate athletic adj yisers at Yale. is mach
con oern ed for the showing OF the New Haven
ties on the track this spring. Curtis Is a MEM

THOUGHT HE WAS KIDNAPPED

n Desperate Struggle.
Three Italians named Giuseppe Rossi,,
Christopher Soimone and Joseph Clement
all Of 228 East Tenth street, were arrested
yesterday by Detective Sergeant Downing
on suspicion of having robbed Mrs. s.
Schlomowitz Of 22S East Tenth street early
Monday morning. The three were ar
raigned in the Yorkville police court and
held for further examination.
Mrs. Schlomowitz, it seems, awoke while
the thief was still in her room. She
grappled with him, but he escaped through
an open window, taking a SEQ watch and
chain. The matter was reported to the
police. Acting on a tip, Downing visited
226 East Tenth street, where he had heard
a gang Of tough Italians lived. He found
Rossi and arrested him. Rossi's picture
was in the rogues' gallery and he pro we'd
to be an old timer.
Then Downing went back with reinforce
ments and waited until the other two men
came in. They were also arrested and a
quantity Of jewelry including three watches
and a silver smelling salts bottle marked
sc. r. w." was found in the place.
Later, the detectives went again to the
place and a pedler named Ash Giden of
SO Pitt stree entered. He was seized,
whereupon he put up a terrific fight, break
ing windows n raising such a disturbance
that the police reserves were called out.
When Giden was arraigned before Magis-
trate Moss, he said he had been cheated by
the Italians and had gone to their place to
try to collect some money. When the
detectives grabbed him, he said, he thought
he was being kidnapped and resisted. The
police asked for his release and he was
discharged.

Soft slelghlnk in Central Park.

There was more snow in Central Park yes
terday and poorer slelghing than at any time
this winter. The going was too soft to give a
footing for the horses or fast going for the
sleIghs. so that the few who made the Park
round did so at a funeral pace. 1t was the
fourth snowfall to afford sleighing of any sort
this winter. The first. on January s, afforded
fairly good going on the next day. and all the
roadhouses were cleaned out of their prize
bottles of champagne, There was one day
of fair sleiRhing in February, and good going
on Friday OF last week.
A cold snap would give good sleighlng for
