YERE'S my idea of the greatest
team Of athletes in America to-
day: In open competition the list
OF stars N champions I mention be-
low have earned their undisputed right
to be classed as an All.American team
for 1911. Not only has this team dem
onstrated Its superiority this year. but
II will probably be this wonderful az
gregation Of stars that Uncle sam will
depend upon to uphold the prestige OF
the United States against the nations
OF the world in the Olympic games to
be held In Stockholm this coming July.
Because Of the approach OF the Olym-
pic games there has been an unprece-
dented interest manifested In athletics
Of all kinds this season. Attendance
has been greater m the number Of
entrants In the various anne has
never been surpassed in this country.
As a consequence OF the increased
number OF athletes striving on the
tracks 1t was a difficult matter to
elect men That have excelled at their
particular specially.
1t was very easy to pick stars like
John Paul Jones n Plat Adams.
These wonder are without peers In
.uelT sptsld1lleS. III n rev DINER cases
ny selections may possibly be Qucs-
toned. but 1t Is my firm belief that
The men l nave mentioned could de-
lend their titles against the combined
athletes of the world.
Tho only possible chance OF robblng
.hese champions OF a position on the
American olympic team Is the sudden
development of an athlete yet unknown
between nov and the first OF next June,
when the Ina formation OF this coun-
sry's team will be made known.
The indoor championship games to be
isld In Madison Square Garden Dec. %
and q will be a grand opportunity OF
,eeing the value Of these athletes. The
performance OF these stars at the games
should convince the Olympic election
Committee. which will he present. that
& won't he necessary for them TO look
much further for candidates. although
.ryouts win be held In the spring.
Considering the records established
this year, which has been remarkable
rom an athletic Viewpoint. the follow
Ing list contains the names OF athletes
Who have been strongest in the stand
ara events. Here's my All-Ameriran
cam for 1911:

around champion ship event. namely the

Continued From Page I.l interest is displayed in the alder manic contests in nearly ali sf the thirty-five wards. The sleermanic contests are more numerous than for many years. Particularly Is this true on :he democratic side, where the bitter mayoralty battle has brought out Graham Harrison and Dime aldermanjc candidates in nearly every ward.
 The reform organization are put ting forth efofrts to defeat alleged ''gTay wolves" because the next board of aldermen probably will have to decide upon several import ant municipal issues.
 Figuring as leading issues in the mayoralty and aldermaRie contests alike are graft and vice. cheap gas, lower telephone rates. subways and universal transfers, the smoke nuisance and cold cars.
