today following the recall by Spain Of

This completely sewers diplomatic

royal decree amending the Spanish
Constitution so as to permit the dis
play of mont Catholics insignia on
buildings occupied by mont Catholic re-
hgious bodies. Thousands of devout
Catholics have pledged their support
to the Government, declaring that the
strife is not truly religious, but a
struggle for liberty and freedom from
insupportable burdens.
1t was felt at oncv that the decree
was an attempt Of Spain to curb the
power of the church and that the

many interesting features in connec-

proportion to its representation the
Olympic Club team attained its share
of honors and was by no means out
classed. The three teams that fin
ished ahead of the local boys in the
score column--Irish-A American Club,
New York Athletic Club and the Chi

Gurn is Il rusher who can take any

The men have agreed to fight at
catchweights, and the question as to
whether 1t Will be clean-break af-

are to be fought, and everybody who

There will be preliminary bouts
between some of the cavalrymen, and

which the champion athletes of the
United States figured was the most
pronounced phase of the 1910 meet
ing. The Olympic Club athletes, who
failed to live up lo expectations,
were no exception to this fact, which
is shown in the defeat of such cham
pions as Mel Sheppard. Martin Sher-
idan, George Bonhag, Lee Talbot,
Robert Cloughen and Harry Porter.
The accident to Lee Scott. the Olym-
pic Club pole yaulter, was unrortu-
nate, the injury he suffered in prac-
tice being too great handicap In
the final test. Change of climate,
which, at the time of the game, was
very hot and sultry following rain
In the vicinity of New Orleans, is
the cause attributed to most of the
surprises. The track, owing to re-
cent construction, was slow; but this
feature occasloned no discrimination,
and all competed under the same con.
ditions.
Champion after champion was
eliminated as each event was dis
puted. The entire assembly of 5000
spectators looked to see the men who
had won national titles and honOrs
at the Olympic games make clean
sweep of the card, but surprises were
the order of the day. I-t.
The defeat of Melvin Sheppard of
the Irish American Athletic Club,
who has been breaking records all
season and had proved peerless in
the list of middle distance runners,
was the first setback of the day.
Sheppard lost the half-mile run to
Harry Gissing of the New York Ath-
letic Club by few scant inches. On
the last quarter Sheppard sprinted
into the teeth of a stlff wind on the
back stretch, with Gissing two yards
TO the rear. Coming into the
straightaway Sheppard made a mis-.
take in Judgment, which probably
cost him the race, It being observed
that he ran wide on the last turn,
Gissing, realizing his opportunity,
made up enough ground to get on
even terms and just beat Sheppard

That VIII Garvin OF the Olympic
Club, who failed to place in the five
mile run, was not alone among the
disappointed ones, is evinced in the
fate that befell George Bonhag, hold
er of every record from four to five
miles. Bonhag was supposed to hold
this event safe, but the star runner
attempted to carry his field too fast
in the initial mile, at least this is the
claim advanced for his defeat. Krae-
mer, an unattached runner from New
York, shook Fred Bellars OF the New
York Athletic Club in the last lap
and won.
The defeat of Ralph Rose in the
shot-put is the only announ ement
that will ever equal the expressions
heard when 1t became known that
the great Martin Sheridan had lost
the discus throw. Robert Cloughen
was defeated in the 22O-yard dash
by Henry of Texas, practically un-
known in the athletic world.
Lee Talbot, who recently estab-
lished new intercollegiate hammer
throw record, and won the national
title at Seattle last year, was dis
posed of early in the competition.
Edward Macauley of the Olympic
Club, who has on many occasions COW
cred the quarter-mile dash in faster
time than was credited to the win
ner at New Orleans, was another of
the crack athletes who did not figure
In the going No excuse is offered
for the little rupner's failure.
Irons, of the Chi2ago Club, in the
broad jump; Dan Ahern of the irish
American Club, in the hop, step and
jump; and Walsh of the New York

weight, were the only favortes to
come through as figured.
