they do out of doors. nevertheless it
will be possible to get a good line on
the eligible Olympic timber when the
December events take place.
There will be probably the greatest
list of athletes competing that ever en-
tered n meet indoors.
In the sprint races there are three
men entered who may be members of
the Olympic team. They are Alvah
Meyer. Bobby Cloughen and Jim r.
Senberger of the Irish-Americans. All
Of these on a good outdoor track have
done the hundred as fast as ten sec
onds. 1t will be a great three cornered
tilt when they pound their way toward
the tape.
A remarkable array is entered in the
middle distance contests. Jim McEn-
tee of the West Side Young Mems
Christian association. New York. is ex-
pected to show his best form. He is a
wonder on a board track and may take
the measure of Harry Gissing, Frick
and Bergman of the New Yorks, Bor-
land and Terwilliger of the Pastimes
and Jim Rosenberger OF the Irish,
Americans. If peerless Mel" Shep-
pard is allowed to compete be will, of
course, be the favorite in these events,
but his recent dishonorable discharge
from the Twenty-second regiment is
likely to his disqualification by
the Amateur Athletic union, and it is
even possible that he may be forbid
den to represent America in the Olym-
pic contests at Sweden.
George Bonhag having retired from
the game, it seems certain that the
races over a mile will be easy for
Frank Kramer of the Long Island Ath-
letic club and John DAILY of the Irish
Americans. with Louis Scott of the
New Yorks as the dark horse.
The Eller brothers, Jack and Bob, of
the Irish-Americans. seem to have the
hurdles between them. In the jumps
and pole vaults there are such stars as
Oler. Jennings. Grumpelt. Fielding.
Porter. Ewry, Aherne and Platt Ad-
m all of the New York A. C. The
Mercury foot club seems to have a
corner" on the good jumping ma
terial. Each n Of them is an Olym-
pic possibility. The weight events will
call out men the caliber of McGrath.
Sheridan. Duncan. Mcdonald. Walsh,
Elliott and Bredd. all strong nominees
for the Olympic team.
Truly a great crop of spike shoe
artists is being conditioned for the
big indoor occasion Of the year, and it
is more than likely that the winners in
all of the events will be included in
the personnel of the American athletic
army that jnvades Stockholm.
But there are others. Many college
athletes. who because of their studies
are unable to make the trip to New
York for the indoor champs" have
qualified themselves for consideration
by their recen achievements.

HOPE FOR
NEW TREATY
IS REMOTE:
UNCLE SAM WOULD TREAD
ON DANGEROUS GROUND
TO URGE RECIPROCITY
(By Associated Press)

Washington, ID. c, Dec 19-AIl the
talk in Washington last night and
this morning bore on the Russian sit
uation, relative to treaty abrOgation.
State department officials this morn
ing said there was little hope for ne
gotiating a new treaty that would
avoid the very things that were lead
ing to the denunciation of the old one.
The United States it was pointed
out would be treading upon danger
GUS ground in trying to arrange with
Russia for a reciprocal agreement
looking to wider latitude in the
countries.
Under the most fay ored nation
clause of the treaties the United
states has with other powers, any one
OF these could claim the right Of en-.
try for its citizens into the United
States and there would be no sucn
thing as restriction of immigration,
State department officials do not
believe that the heavy trade between
the United States and &ussia neces-
sarily will be jeopardized by the abb
rogation of the treaty, although Il
tariff war is possible and Russia
lean ships from any of her ports
According to the bureau Of statis-
tics, the value OF imports into he
United States from Russia during
the present calendar year will amount
to S14,000,000 principally in hides,
skins and wool The value of eX-
ports from the United States to Rus
sia during the year is estimated at
S24, 600 900, showing balance Of $lO,-
100000 in favor of the United States
Russia also buys much American cot
ton in London, and with this inelud-
ed. the total value of American goods
sent into the empire is estimated at
S35 100000, a balance of 21,C00, 900 in
favor of the United States The
American exports are principally
manufacturers of agricultural machin-
cry and cotton.
President Taft announcement,
first in a letter to the foreign rela-
tions committee and then in a mess
age to the senate. that he had taken
upon himself the responsibility of no
tifyinG Russia of the abrogation oil
the treaty, did not come as surprise.
It was learned last night that he had
taken steps to terminate the pact, and
| in Associated press dispatches it was
stated that the senate expected to
hear today that he had sent motifi-
cation to the Russian government
through American Ambassador Guild
| at {. Petersburg. 1t also was stated
that the notifica on had been couch
ed in the politest diplomatic language
and that the date of the termination
of the treaty had been fixed for Jan
uary /, 1913.
All of these facts became public
soon after the foreign relations com
mittee met at IL a. m. The commit
tee was in session for nearly three
hours, but the only points discussed
were whether the house should bt
considered in the matter and wheth
er the senate should act in open ses
sion. rather than behind closed doors
as customary when dealing with for
Ieign affairs.
