DANIELS, FIRST
Of YANKEES TO
SAIL FOR LONDON
Swimmer Starts Early to Get in
Shape for Olympic
Games.

c. M. Daniels, the worlds champion
swimmer. sailed for England on the
Lusitania yesterday. He is the first of
the American team to leave for the
Olympic championships. His early de-
parture is due to the fac that 1t takes
longer for a swimmer to get in shape
than a track athlete.
When Daniels gets to London he will
go to the Grosvenor House, where he
will meet James e. Sullivan, who sailed
last Thursday. The champion Will do
his training in the stadium tank, and
expects to be as fit as a fiddle for the
Olympic contests.
In speaking of the American team
Daniels said:
ITS a fine aggregation and I can't
see how we are going to lose. OF
course, our English cousins are much
stronger than they were in Athens, but,
so are we, and I look for a sweeping
victory"

boy middle distance runner. now wear
ing the colors of the Irish-American A.
C. sails for Sweden tomorrow. Dan
ielson will represent Sweden in the 500
metre run, n also socker football.
The ~youngster is not an American citi-
zen and is going back to his fatherland,
so as to be in the championships.
my heart is with the American
team" he said yesterday, "but, never
theless, / will do all 1 can to help dear
old Sweden"
Bruno Soderstrom, the pole Vaulter,
will accompany Danielson to England.
Both will go to the training quarters of
the Swedish tear in London, and pre-
pare for the championships. Sober

tise. 81 was a little nervous he said
