The London Olympic Gaines
Will Eclipse All Predecessors.


English committees can enter citizen
athletes of their country residing in
either England or America If they
wished without compelling them to
submit to trials, but it is hardly likely
that either committee would think Of
doing this, which would be an injustice
ito the athletes who had to win their
places in competition. If any attempt
were made to select the American team
or the records of the athletes it would
raise a storm, of protest, and deserved
ly so.
In making public their plans for the
selection of the American team the
committee in charge announced that
there would be two preliminary meets
or tryOuts for the naming of men who
will represent this country abroad
June was set as the date of the
meets, the intimation being that the
eastern meet would be held on Frank
lin field of the University of PennSyl-
vania and the Western meet probably
in Chicago. The committee in ar
ranging for these meets evidently over
of the intercollegiate championships of
the East and West. which are sched-
uled for the first Saturday in June. As
most of the athletes who will compose
the American team are college men it
Is evident that the tryouts cannot be
held on this date
At the same time mention should be
maze of the fact that the tryouts can
hardly be held on n later date than
this. since the Olympic games begin on
July 1S. The completion of arrange
ments for selecting the entire team and
getting the men in England at least
two weeks prior to the meet wifi en-
tail an immense amount of hard work
The best solution of the matter would
be for the Eastern and Western inter-
collegiate meets to be advanced one
week to the last Saturday in Nav.
Then all the college men would be in
the best kind of shape for the Olympic
tryouts June 6.
Another feature concerning these try
outs, which is likely to caus.. considerable
criticism is that no provision Is made for
preliminary meet On the Pacific coast
the Rocky mountains. the athletes from
this section being quite as good as those
Of the Middle West 1t is to say the least
asking a great deal OF the Pacific coast
men TO come. all the way from their
homes TO Chicago to try for the team In
any event they will be Mt Il disadvantag e
The method of selecting this team is de-
fective In another respect. though the
committee Will probably remedy this lat
er. 1t will be noticed that no provision has
been made for n final meet in which ia
weed out the mer who coma through the
Eastern and Western prelininaries. The
American team will be permitted 20 start
ten or dozen men in each of the track
and field events. Thus il the committee
rules that the first six men 10 finish in
each event in their respective meets he

The greatest sporting event before

the world either for that matter is the
fifth revival of the ancient Olympic
games to be held in London next July.
This meeting is certain to eclipse all
of its predecessors no matter from
what angle it is viewed Primarily it
Will be the first complete international
athletic test that has ever been made.

To fl kher strengthen the English
team theusBritons have arranged to

that they would be compelled to COM

But their protests awaited them .notH-

That England does not intehfs to
take any chances of being beaten in
her own games is evidenced by a pc
culiar bit Of legislation just announced
by the American committee. This is
that the American team must be COM
posed entirely of athletes who are
either American born or American citi-
zens. This particular rule was passed
because there are several English ath-
letes in this country who had an
nounced themselves as candidates for
the American team. This special legis-
lation is typical of English sportsman
ship. These athletes who have made
this country their home cannot. except
at great sacrifice. return to England
to try for the British team. so that the
result will be their disbarment.
There is some fear that this rule will

country for four years has not become
an American citizen. If he cannot
represent the United States he will
have to go abroad as a member of the
New Zealand team. If the English
apply this rule to their own country
as we'll they will have to disbar all the
American athletes who. as Rhodes
scholars. are attending Oxford. If such
men as Schultz. the old Cornell star,
and Stevens of Yale are debarred by
the Rritons probably the rule will work
no greater disadvantage to one country
than to another. The natural infer

CLERGYMEN PROTEST

prominent c~lergymen, Presbyterian, Con-
gregational and Reformed, have sent a
letter to Senator Hale, chairman of the
Senate committee on naval affairs, pro-
lined in President Roosevelt's last mes
sage.
These gentlemen do not look kindly on
the idea of continued large expenditures
for the navy, and while most Of them are
willing to admit that the United States
should hav something Of the sort, they
count over the number of ships in COM
mission and building and wish somebody
would call a halt some time.
The letter which has been sent to SEN
ator Hale is as follows:
1--WE, whose names are undersigned.
voicing as we believe the sentiments of
many thousands of American citizens, re-
specially express to You our earnest hope
that the present Congress win call a
halt in what seems TO us the needless and
hazardous enlargement of the United States
Navy.
believing that America should be the
leader among the peacemakers Of the earth,
we canno but look with regret and alarm
on the further multiplication OF battle
ships, not only because of the disastrous
inhuence which his is likely to have upon
the temper and fortunes of our own peo-
pie, but because it is we'll nigh certain
to rotard that restriction in the armaments
Of nations for which a sorely burdened
world has long been waiting"
