There Is an excellent prospect OF the

win at least three OF the preliminary tic

HOrner and Craig
Go to Stockholm
Both Men Performed at the Indoor
Meet in Omaha Last April and
Are Well Thought Of.

Joe Horner. ir., and Ralph w Craig, two
of the most versatile athletes the Uni
versity of Michigan has produced and who
have competed for the last time as mem
bers of the maize and blue teams, have
signified to Director P. G. Bartelme their
willingness to accompany the American
team to the Olympic games in 1912.
No invitations have BEEN issued but in
quiry made of the two men by Bartelme
was at the request OF = rof G. W. Patter-
son Of the university ficulty, a member of
the Olympic games Committee, and there
seems little doubt nat invitations will
ultimately come 20 these two stars.
They should add strength to the team.
Craig has equaled the worlds record in
the 220- ard dash and the collegiate record
in the shorter event. while Horner was this
year the best OF Americas college pill push
ers and has made remarkably good per-
formances.
Craig had expected TO remain In ath-
letics, anxious to establish worlds record
OF his own, but Horners acceptance Is con-
trary 10 his earlier decision 20 retire from
amateur competition HIS recent refusal
TO coach the athletic teams at Culver Mill
taTy academy is thought TO have an init
mate connection with his participation at
stockholm for such work would destroy
his amateur standing.

meet last April.

Sheridan at Work
Taking Off Weight
For Discus Throw
Greatest Athlete in World Getting
Ready for Fight at Olympic
Games.

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-For the first time
since he last worked to fit himself for the
all-round championships, Martin Sheridan,
who is rated as the greatest athlete in the
world. is down to real, hard training. Sher-
idan has taken up his abode at Celtic park
and is working faithfully to get rid of
some Of the extra weight that he has &C
cumulated during the last twelve months
In less than a weeks time Martin has
shaken off twelve pounds and being full Of
enthusiasm, 1t is more than likely that he
will easily get down to a weight that will
enable him to be spry in the discus circles
once more
Sheridan 10 doing his work on the track
and still has the old jump at the start
that used to bring him victory in the 100
yard race in the all-round series. Martin
works every night with Mel Sheppard. The
pair run fifty-yard dashes and always
finish within yard OF each other. The
discus thrower gets the jump on Peerless
Mel, but Sheppard comes with a rush at
the finish and generally nips Martin right
at the tape
Prior to this year Sheridan gained
weight steadily. but he always put II In on
his chest and arms until last spring, when
his waist line began TO increase at an
alarming rate. Tho hero OF Athens will
stick at sprinting until a very few days
before the fall championships: in tho mean
time running and competing In a few discus
events to keep his form. Sheridan figures
that II he can shed about forty pounds ne

LARNED TO HEAD AMERICANS
Six-Time Winner Of American Tennis
Championship Goes to Australia.
MLAUGHLIN MAY GO WITH HIM
Thomas G. Bundy and Melville n.
Long Refuse to Become Members
Of National Team, hut May
Reconsider.


NEW YORK, Aug se--The one thing
that appears positive in tennis at this time
is that william a. Larned, the six times
holder of the national championship. shall
lead the American cup team and will go
to Australia. Only one other player out
Of the top class appears available, and he
is Maurice e. Mclaughlin OF California.
Whether or not the two could combine for
the singles and doubles is a question.
Larned coached Mclaughlin considerably
last year and the two played so we'll to-
gether in doubles that they won that event
in the Southampton tournament. The vic
tory was a complete surprise, as in the
final they defeated Thomas C.. Bundy and
Trowbridge Hendrick in remarkable five
set contest Bundy and Hendrick at that
time stood as the Pacific coast challengers
for International championship at Newport.
Up to the present time every bit Of avail
able diplomacy has been used in an en-
deavor to have Thomas c. Bundy and Mel
VILE II. Long Join the International team.
So far II has been without avail. Both
claim that business reasons prevent their
going. Beals c. Wright is also reported to
stand ready to make the journey II nom
mated. II is possible that at the last mo-
ment he msy be asked to serve. Even the
most loyal admirers OF Wright however,
and the number is legion, feel that the ia
nous player OF other days is not equal TO
the srueling contests which the challenge
match in Australia would entail. and that.
therefore. both In Justice to him and to
the American followers Of the game, he
should not be considered.
There has been considerable discussion
also as to nominating the national doubles
pair. Frederick 3. Alexander and Harold
II. Hackett, and also their challengers de-
veioped this year, Gustave F. Touchard
and Raymond d. Little. While there is
no question as to the material strength
which the four players named would add
to the team in any way they might be
elected. still the fact remains that with
the exception Of Touchard, and he is ex-
tremely doubtful. the others have posi-
lively declined, stating that II Is impossl-
BILE to leave their business interests in this
country for the three or four months
which the trip to Australia would neces-

Beaters Together,


PHII.ADEL PHIA, Aug 26.-"One infield,
perfectly sound, good as anybody's, bar
gain at $10.S5."
When O. McGilicuddy Connie Mack
quits base ball he can open a clothing store,
being so shrewd at making bargains With
his long face and black raiment he might
even qualify as a successful horsetrader.
The most remarkable performance in base
bali from an economic viewpoint was re-
crulting an infield that won the American
league pennant and the championship of
the whole world for $1O.S5. That's what the
Athletics inner workmen cost. Ed Collins
was in New York, Frank Baler held out
at Reading, Pa, Barry was at Holy Cross.
c. Mack sent railroad tickets. The paste
boards totaled s1O.s5, That's what the in
field cost, because Harry Davis already
was on hand.
There is no other manager who can do
as Mack has done in getting youngsters
and then making them work after he has
them. It's a well known saying among
other men in the American league when
Mack asks waivers: We'll, II Connie can't
get anything out OF this man l don't want
him" Also the same thing is said when
Mack wishes to make a trade.
Every day during the series recently
completed with the Browns, Mack solemnly
announced he would probably work Leon
ard. Every day the st. Marys college
youth was trotted out to warm up. At the
last minute one of the veteran pitchers
went In.
Finally. however, Mack felt he had Leon
ard sufficiently primed and the juvenile
performed. He is long, awkward youth,
who occasionally stubbed his toe on the
pitching plate. and almost fell down. At
times he was wild, but when the ball came
over the Browns we're unable to hit it hard.
Within two or three years Leonard may
develop into a star. Jack Coombs wasn't
much better than Leonard when ne came
