AMERICAN ENTRIES
IN OLYMPIC GAMES
Probably a Third of the Athens
Team Will Be Among This
This Years Candidates
for Places.

NEW YORK, May o.-Scanning the list
of possible candidates for the American
team that will go to London for the Olym-
pic games in July it may be seen that
about one-third of the Athens team OF
1906 will probably coma out and try for
positions on this years team. Five of
the Athens winners. and possibly six. are
among the number; Martin Sheridan.
Paul Pilgrim Jim Lightbody. Ray Ewry
and George Bonhag are positive candi-
dates while Myer Prinstein's presence in
the Olympic tryout lists June 6 depends
upon whether or not he can regain his
old-time form. If few days before the
tryouts Prinstein finds he Is not in cOndi-
ton to compete he will go into retirement
To question Sheridan's ability to make
the team would be nothing but lunacy.
The all-around champion will find 1t
child's play to win the discus tryout,
and. besides. he is invaluable as stand
ing jumper. Lightbody. too. should quail
ify with ease in the middle west tryouts.
George Bonhag will have to run some to
win the five-mile at the Franklin Field
meet June 6. but even should he be de-
feated by Bellars or Eisele he will be
close enough up to make the team. Ray
Ewry, like Sheridan. has only to warm
up'' bit to be included in the London
roster-that is if performances count for
ANYTHING Even now Ewry is coming
around to FORM and he expects TO be at
his best a full month before the team
sails.
Paul Pilgrim will have no such easy
time in making the team as the other
Athens winners If Pilgrim goes out for
the olarter-mile he will have to Outsprint
TayIor of Pennsylvania. Ford of New
York Athletic Club. McEntee of the New
York Athletic Club. French of Cornell,
Teevan of the Irish American Athletic
Club Dorland of the Pastimes, besides
a bunch of good men that will crop up
this spring in the eastern colleges. The

pard. Bromilow. Walther. Whitley. Shee-

pie Of kittery with regard to Sunday
base ball at the navy yard Objection
was made by certain clergymen TO the

that as long as IT was on government

Just. In 1906 he ran in 1 minute ~ rs

HOPPE RETURNS TROPHY.
Not 1872 Balkline Billiard Cham.
pion Now.

NEW YORK. May I've are now,
and will be for several months, with
out an official 1872 baKline billiard
champion of the world Willie Home
will not be cOntradicted when he adver-
tises himself as the best there is at the
game. but since he returned to the donors
the trophy he received for defeating
George Sutton he cannot claim the title
although he trounced the previous
holder. 1t is one of the rules of the
game. and the boy wonder must abide
by it,
In all probability it will again be put
into play next fall Except for the
kranz Club and such exhibitions as are
now in progress, the billiard season is
dead. With the advent of base ball the
GUESTS are lost sight of. and nothing in
the championship would be attempted
now. for the simple reason that the gate
would not pay expenses.
George SlOsson is out of the game for
concerned. and it is extremely doubtful
IL Jake Shaefer would enter Sutton
would probably play. and SO would Will
lie Hoppe If the rules governing title
contests are changed to suit his views.
His action in returning the emblem
has satisfied the public that he is in
earnest when he says he will never
again take part in one-night match
for a championship. so it is not probab BILE
his entry will even be sought unless the
other parties concerned agree to a re-
vision Of the rules.
The young players. generally. are in
favor of extending championship games
to / 200 or 1900 points. but the veterans
are against it. If such a provision were
made Sutton would not enter the tourna-
ment, leaving the field open to Hoppe.
Morningstar and Cutler, and the last
two of this trio could never. by any
stretch of the imagination. be placed
in the championship class. Cassignol
the French cueist who fell such an easy
victim to SlOsson and Sutton in matches
played in this city. will be in the orient
when the tournament Is organized, let
ting him out.
There will be some interesting COM
plications in the billiard world next, fall.
