however, were scored in competition
In which no other nation took part,

not served to dishearten the American

James E. Sullivan. the con1missio neri
representing the United States, said 70
the Associated Press representative this
evening:
1--WE have come here to win the

are going to do 1t. despite the handi-s
cap from which we are suffering:
This handicap has been twofold. In the
first PLACE, the men came to country

THE other handicap against which
we have had to contend Is the manner
in which the heat drawings have been
conducted. The drawings have gone
against us in the 1,500-metres race,
when our best men-Sheppard and Hal
|stead-were pitted against each otlreY,
and the same thing occurred In the
So0-metre event, the heats of which
will be run off tomorrow Sheppard
and Halstead were drawn against each
other for a second time. BromilowS and
Ramey also have been put into heat
together In this event, while In two
other heats Of the S00-metres not a.
single American has been drawn.
1T is either extraordinarily bad luck
or the manner in which the drawings
have been made that has resulted In
such unfavorable conditions for the
Americans
Mr.. Sullivan concludes by SAYING:
The United Kingdom had Its. 4in-s

the Americans will have their turn tits
