OLYMPIC ATHLETES
ON WAY To MEET
Spend Sunday in Los Angeles and
Don Their Suits for Light
Training

Seven athletes, members of the Olym-
pic club of san Francisco, stopped in
the city yesterday enroute to the New
Orleans championships and spent the
afternoon in training for the coming
event. The men left last night and ex-
pect to arrive in New Orleans Thurs
| day. The meet will open october 10.
Seven men comprise the winged "O'
representation going east, and the Pa
cif1c coast will be further represented
by Martin of the Seattle Athletic club
and Thorp of Los Angeles.
An ADLER team has never been sent
back to the national meet by the
Olympics and the west has a great ap-
portunity this year to come away with
the laurels. The irish American, New
York, Boston and Chicago are the four
strongest athletic clubs entered, and it
will be up to the Post street athletes
to beat the best organizations in the
country.
Ralph Rose heads the list of western
men and can be counted first in the
shot and hammer, with a good chance
for the javelin. Horner of the Uni
versity of Michigan, with 49-foot
record in the shot, will be the closest
competitor. He is considered by many
the best all-around college athlete in
| the country
The 100 and 220 yard dashes should
luIIlStl SOlle KEEN tbIll DttlllOil. 1SdI-
! hart of the winged 20" is a fast man
when he is right, but Martain of
Seattle and Thorp of Los Angeles are
! also coast men who are looked for to
beat Cloughen of the New York Ath-
letic club. Both of these have nego-
tiated the shorter sprint in 10 fiat,
while Thorp is credited with 21.4 sec
! onds in the furlong. 1t will take the
| best in the east or middle west to come
| apUwbara this time
McCauley Is the sole representative
of the Olympics in the quarter mile,
| and in New Orleans a week from Sat-
urday the speedy Alameda boy is going
TO get the race of his life At the
state fair at Sacramento this fall Nc
Cauley went in 40 is, and If his
strained leg tendon is we'll by Satur-
day week his admirers look for him to
! better this mark when he is pressed
by Davenport of Chicago, with record
| of 48 IA, and Edwards of New York
who runs we'll under so. In the half
mile no coast representative will at
| tempt to run with Melvin Shepherd of
the Irish-Americans and Gissing of the
New York A. C. One fifty-four and 1.56
are faster times than any western man
has ever approached
! Herb Cheek, the old California hurd-
Ter, with Donahue, should clean up
some points for the Olympic club in
the hurdles.
Fifteen and four-fifths secands is
good time back east, and both are
capable of % seconds in the longer OBJ
stacle event. Cleek high jumps well
around feet 10 inches.
Garvin is slated to run up against
Bonhag of the N. Y. A. c., in the five
mile race. At a recent meeting Bonhag
set a worlds record of 25:25 4-5 for
the distance. Garyin has never been
pressed in the event.
The ane missing link in the chain is
Ollie Snedigar. The big Californian
was counted on for sure five points
in the broad and a count in the javelin.
Unless Kretzinger of the University Of
California can be induced to go there
will have no one to compete in the
| broad.
Lee Scott, champion pole-vaulter of
the world. with a mark of ~ feet
10 3-16 inches, will compete under the
Olympic colors and is sure of s points.
Scott is at present in Boston and will
join the team at New Orleans.
