However. all demands were supplied with
stock at 50. and there was more to be had
at the same price.
Exactly how much more was not as
certained. and no effort was made by the
two or three brokers who had orders for
the stock to test the situation. At the
close the asking price was still 80, with
the bid an eighth of a point less, which
has been the case for some time past.
Some of the Washington Railway pre-
ferred stock sold for STA, both in quo: "a
ton lots of twenty-five shares and in
smaller lots. There was more to be had
at the same figure. but the bid at the
close did not rise above 81
The bal ance of the list did not attract
much attention. and the call was made
without trading of any account.

Swedish Athletes
Lose to English
Boasts of Norsemen to Take ALI
Events Vanish Into Thin Air
When Test Cnmes

LONDON. Sept. 2.--During the last year
or so there have been some great reports
from Sweden and what the Swedes were
going to do in the next Olympic games.
According to the gossips, they would sweep
the decks and make the rest of the world
look small. This was to be the case espe-
cially In the sprInts and middle distances,
the only country figured to have a look in
being America, and even then the Yankees
would have to be thoroughly wound up to
be In the running. How good the Swedes
really are was shown recently in the inter-
national match between All-Sweden and the
London Athletic club.
IL was a noteworthy fact that the Eng
llsh club did not have a title holder on the
team, yet the Swedes were not able to win
one of the sprints or middle distances. In
the 100 meters Stewart of the London Ath-
letic club won In II Ito seconds, and in
this years English championship he was
beaten BY Ramsdell. Soon afterward
Stewart turned out and won the 200 meters
by yards from the nearest Swede. Abra-
hams of the London Athletic club was sec
ond. the time Of the winner being 224s sec
onds. Taylor of the London Athletic club
won the 500 meters in the slow time of 2
minutes 21s seconds, Skeet of the London
Athletic club won the 400 meters in 511A
seconds and a Swede was second, about
three yards behind. his time being 50 sec
onds. The candidates the EngIishmen had
in the shot and discus amounted to little.
as they could come nowhere pear winning
a championship at home, SOY the Swedes
accounted for these.
