AMERICAN TEAM
A SURE WINNER
COMMITTEE JUBILANT ABOUT
PROSPECTS
RECORD BREAKERS TO COMPETE
IN LONDON
Sufficient Money on Hand to Send
Picked Men, but Members Hope
Even Larger Number
May Go
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 14.-Following the
Pacific coast tryouts, which were held
Saturday afternoon at Stanford uni
versity, members of the Olympic COM
mittee are jubilant over the fact that
everything now points to a winning
team to represent the United States III
London in July.
THE only thing worrying us now,'
said James e. sullivan. secretary of the
committee lis the picking of the team.
That is a hard problem. Within the
past month reports have been received
from all over the country stating thai
some athlete has teen breaking world $
records. If these reports are true there
will be many upsers when all the try
outs are held, and perhaps some OF
those who were looked upon as sure
winners will of necessity be left at
home.
"Of course this will not happen If we
receive enough money. At present we
have sufficient to send a winning team
but | am IN hopes that before the boys
sail, June q. there will be enough to
send every athlete who mas chance OF
gaining a noint.'
While reports of wonderful feats have
been received here, experts who have
heard thousands of these reports be-
fore claim it will be the seasoned
champions who will perform best and
win out when the proper time comes.
Experts Pick Winners
They say they cannot see how such
men as Shaw of Dartmouth and For
rest of Smithson are going to lose IN
the high hurdles, Martin Sheridan with
the discus. Melvin Sheppard in the mid
die distance, Nj Irath and Flanagan in
the weight events. Glarner in the quar-
ter mile Wray of Yale in the pole
vault. Porter in the high jump. Ray
Ewry in the standing jump, Bellars ana
Bonhag in the distance runs. Dan Kelly
in the br- ID jump, James sullivan III
the mile run, Coe ana Rose in the shot-
put, and Garres in any of the special
ties he trains for and completes in.
All of these have consistently ana
persistently shown form that STANDS
ont bv itself, and trainers claim moth
ing less than serious accidents can pre-
vent them from making the team:
In the Marathon race America is py
no means left in the ruck. Within the
last wear this country has developed
long distance runners that are by no
means below the average.
Mr. Sullivan believes we have grand
chance of capturing that event TINS
year.
Up to yesterday over $1,000 had been
subscribed to carry the team abroad,
and Mr.. Sullivan expects to have at
least $4,000 by June 10. Judging that 1t
will cost each man from $500 to $32O
for expenses, this amount will enable
the committee to pick from forty 10
fftv men. With this number members
of the committee are sanguine of suc-
cess.
The committee has decided to hold
the wrestling tryouts on May 26 and "a
instead of May 25 and 20. In all proba
bilitv these tryouts will ONLY take one
night, as the fact that only native born
or fully naturalized citizens of America
are eligible will keep a number OF en-
tries away

BLOODLESS SURGEONS
WILL MEET SUNDAY
Jiu Jitsu Experts Will Contest for
Honors at Chutes Park-Both
Men Have Won Many
Victories

Lovers of the gentle art of bloodless
surgery pulled off by torturing methods
used by jiu jitsu artists will be given
a run for their money at the Chutes
park Sunday when Leopold McLagh-
Ian, clciming to be the champion jiu
titsu wrestler of the world, will en-
deaVor to subdue Fu;;amachi, a local
expodent of the art.
McLaglhan is better known as the
irish giant. He stand six fet six inches
and weighs about 225 pounds. He is all
bone and muscle and has the strength
of a Hercules. He has participated in
many contests and claims never to have

sooner than be defeated by an Europe
an he would die on the mat.
Both men are at work preparing for
the fray.

THE CHOICE

A young man stood before the mirror
completing the finishing touches to a
toilet of which he felt justly proud.
He was going to call upon The Girls
widowed mother to ask for her daugh-
ter's hand in marriage.
At last everything was complete ex-
cept his cravat. Before him on the
dressing table spread the two cravats
between which his choice rested. One,
a neat black with a narrow white
stripe which he had bought himself;
the other, cravat which The Girl had
given him for a present-a tie such as
only women purchase.
eff / wear the black-and-w white one
I'll look my best" he unused. ION the
other hand, If l wear the one She gave
me I'll please Her immensely, but will
look a fright"
Then he whistled walked around the
room-and carefully tied his cravat.
The mother said Yes" although
there were tears in her eyes, and The
Girl though he was the handsomest
and best dressed man in the world.
Which cravat did he wear?-Bohe-
milan.
