don this summer will wear a shamrock
around his neck, for instead OF being
entered as representatives OF Great
Britain" In this years Olympiad. John
Bulls conglomeration OF athletes will
be down on the program as OF Great
Britain and Ireland Where the Cana
dams and Australians come in under
this arrangement is yet TO be eX-
planned.
One OF the few disagreeable features
OF the Olympic games at Athens in
1906 was the kicks put up by the Irish,
Canadian and Australian athletes
against being put down as English ath-
letes. The sons OF Erin were especi-
ally wroth over the subject. and once
threatened 70 leave the field when the
Greeks refused To run up the Irish
flag as Leahy won the high jump. The
lrishmen contended that they repre-
sented ireland, and fought 10 the last
ditch 10 have a separate column for
Ireland's score, but all in vain.
Leahy's and O'Connor's victories were
put down in England's column. and for
once the Irishmen had TO swallow
their national pride.
But now II is different. The Lon
don Olympiad is close at hand. and
England needs the Irish points desper.
ately in order TO have a chance against
Sweden. America and France. The
Americans are almost sure TO take the
field events. hurdles and sprints; the
Swedes threaten 10 add TO the sting
ing blow Lightbody and Pilgrim dealt
the British distance runners at Ath-
ems. and the French will be strong in
nearly all branches. Ii is easy to
| imagine. then. the feeling of the Eng.
fish athletic world toward such Irish
men as Leahy, O'COnnor DAILY. Kelly.
and Hynes. The sons OF Erin can have
anything they want at this stage of
the game and all they desire IS TO see
