AMERICAS OLYMPIC
ATHLETES CHOSEN
List of Those to Represent the United States at Stock
holm Is the Most Impressive Array United States
Has Ever Assembled.

NEW YORK, June 11.-Little criticism
was made today of the olympic team
selected by the American Olympic COM
mittee. In some cases where experts
thought certain athletes should have
had first call, their names appeared in
the supplementary list. However, the
nonappearance of Robert A. Gardner,
Yale, who vaulted 13 feet I inch, was
the cause of comment.
Most of the athletes who will leave
on the steamer Finland Friday are
from the East and the middle and far
West. The South Is practically the
only section of the country not repre-
scented. North had the call and in the
list of lucky names many old-time stars
showed conspicuously by their absence.
Ten distance runners who will repre-
sent the United States as marathon con-
testants in the Olympic games at Stock
hold were the first athletes picked.
Among the ten chosen are Louis Te-
WANNA, of the Carlisle Indian School,
and Michael ]. Ryan, of the Irish-Amer-
lean Athletic Club. The others are
Clarence H. Demar, North Dorchester
Mass; Joseph Erxleben, Missouri Ath-
