The expression was sent TO the presi-

Conditions for the Olympic games 10
be held in London this year have been
made public in pamphlet form and are
ready for distribution TO the would-be
competitors
The original idea was 10 have football
and other games decided in the spring
of this year, but insuperable obstacles
arose. and It is now officially announced
that so far at any rate as the stadium
events are concerned there viii not be
any competitions during the spring.
The opening OF the track and field
events in the stadium has been set for
July IS. but it is just possible it may get
a shift 70 a couple OF days earlier.
Minor Dates Later.
The dates for lawn tennis. racquets,
and other minor pastimes will be an
nounced soon. The speed skating con-
tests have been abandoned, but there
will be a competition of figure skating
al Princes in October. Previous to the
big meet in the stadium the track will
be used by the different clubs for their
various sports. Early in May the Finch
lev Harriers will hold big carnival in
which the different branches Of athletics
will be literally catered to, and the
Polytechnic HarrieTs have announced
two meets, onefor June S and the other
for July II, the latter the Saturday
prior to the opening OF the Olympic pro-
gram.
The English trials for the Olympic
team will take place the same time as
those in America-the first week in June
at the stadium. The swimming events
will be in between the track and field
events at the stadium, where a tank 10

Sullivan and Burns.

Baker privately expressed the opinion
that the Talbert contingent had found
that the opponent for their man was no
longer training in a quick lunch place
and running his young life with Wash
ington pie and such ike. but had taken
to real training and might have the
bulge on their man.
According 70 reports from Baltimore
there Is q fierce discussion in progress
between Sullivan and Burns over the
question whether the soldier should be
allowed to weigh In at 133 ringside, alb
sOlutely stripped or in his lighting toys.
Burns viii have somewhat on Sullivan
In the matter Of weight. from all &C
counts, but that all this fuss should be
kicked I'D over the slight difference
in the arena seems somewhat foolish.
It promises to be a rafting good
contest between two hard men, and
too much quibling about the pre-
llminary details Will do more harm than
good.
Real Intercity Match.
Sullivan is working daily at the Ma
tional Guard gymna sium in this city
with his ancient rival Tommy Lowe.
Lowe IS the faster and cleverer boxer
of the two, which is jus. what Sui ivan
/ has long needed for q sIarTing partner.

liCau has had little trouble, as was
shown in the famous siX-rOund 90 with

The Washing on sports are much in

Miss Georgia Ann White, who
happens to be black, has a pig
that she feeds on corn. Bob
Carr, also of African descent,
has a mule, but there is nothing
said about what is fed it, and
thereby hangs this tale.
Georgia Ann fed her piggie
and went into the house aud
then there came squeals from
the pen and thinking some one
was stealing her pet she rushed
back TO protect it, and found
the mule had taken the pig by

Imperialists have chartered
about the Philippines as an out
post in the Pacific calculated to
protect Our trade and a strategic
point in the event of war. But
Senator Tillman sees clearly
that the Philippines constitute
a vulnerable spot in our de-
lenses and an invitation to at.
tack. If we should have war
with Japan, he says, 1.-The first
thing Japan would do would
be to swoop down on the Phil.
ippines and capture them.
Then, of course, national pride
would force US to get up a suf.
ficlent army and navy to 60 over
and sweep japan INTO the sea

possession of the Philippines
that demand more battleships.
