The batters have faced few curves. the
University Of Virginia hurlers being the

Manager Griffith is satisfied with the

The lone run of the Polys came as a
result of a base on balls and two sacri-

COST OF 0LYMPICS
WILL COME HIGH
Expense to Fifteen Nations EST
mated at Two or Three Millions.
Sweden Must Spend Much.

New York. March 23.-It is estimated
that between $2,COO,O0O and $4,000 will be
spent by about fifteen nations on the
in June and July. This, of course in
cIudes the expenses incurred in the
training period for the try-outs and for
other incidentals. 1t is expected that the
Sj.OOO,OOO mark will be easily reached be-
fore the last flag is hoisted in the Swed-
ISL stadium. Sweden, naturally, will
open it's Golfers more generously than
tie other nations this year. because the
Swedes have the honor of supervising
the games.
A sum in excess of $4,000 in Swedish
money will change hands OF this
amount $4,000 will be spent for the con-
struction of stands: 100000 will be
squandered on the nations guests, and
more than 10000 will be expended in
the development Of an athletic team that
will make a presentable showing
England will be touched for the next
largest amount-probably 100000. The
United Kingdom expects to be repre-
scented by 40 athletes and a special
steamer has been chartered to convey
the performers to the scene of activities.
America will hot spend any consider
able sum before the games The money
spending will come on the teams sue
cessful return from abroad. From pres
ent indications Uncle Sam will get by
with about $4,000. 1t Will cost Denmark
$4,000 and the other ana smaller coun-
tries smaller amounts in proportion to
their representation.
