On the open shelves of the Brook
line (Mass.) library only 80 books were
lost during the past year. If this looks
like a good many, it must be remem-

appeared were worth stealing for their
pecuniary value, end that the total
number of books exposed counts up to
over 10000. Which simply goes to
show that folks that use public H.

TROUBLE AHEAD At
OLYMPIC GAMES
Canada Determined to Have
Longboat Compete in Spite
of Yankee Protests.

NEW YORK. February 1s.-There is
likely to be merry athletic war
when the Olympic games IRE held in
London next summer. Reports from
Canada are to the effect that the Do
H.lnion Will appropriate $4,000 to send
q team to the worlds meet. and among
the athletes on the Canadian team viii
be Tom Longboat, tho Indian long
distance runner. who Is under the ban
OF the Amateur Athletic Union OF the
United States.
James e. Sullivan, president of the
a; a.. u. refused to say yesterday
what his association would do If Long
boat is allowed by the English author
tiles to compete In the Olympiad.
I'VE will cross that bridge when
We come to It," said MIR. Sullivan, rath-
err testify.
Other men close to the A. A. u. pow.
ers that be were more communicative.
American athletes would be prohibited
toeing the mark in any race in which
Longhoat appeared as starter This
would include the Marathon. the great
est contest at the Olympiad.
"Oh, my! but the English committee
VIII have q tough task to straighten
wise ones They are are bonnd to o. ofre sns
either America or Canada"
IT Is not likely the American asso-
citation will go so far as to withdraw
the whole Yankee team, although that
would be the right thing to do under
the a. a. U. rules. America will un-
doubtedly protest Longboat as a PRO
Iessional. and may be able to secure
the proof OF It before next summer.
