OLYMPIC meet
WILL BE GREAT
COMPETITION KEEN FOR HUN
DRED PLACES ON AMERICAN
TEAM. LLIVAN
GIVES OPINION.

New York March THE greatest
athletic meet that the world has ever
seen" was what James Il. Sullivan
termed the olympic games TO be held
at Stockholm next July.
"The competition for places on the
American team is going to be close
and hard fought. 1t naturally follows
spread among the non comparative
classes who followbathletics closely the
Olympic games will become aues-
ton of national importance from a
sporting standpoint at least. once tn"
team has been selected and sailed for
stockholm It's fortunes viii be follow
cd by the general public as no other
foreign athletic expedition has In the
past.
1t is a well-inown fact that in
1896 at Athens America vas repre-
scented by a small team; In 1909 al
Paris we had a large and successful
team, and in 1904 at ST. Louis, 1906 at
Athens and 1908 at London the Amcri-
can team swept everything before it.
In all these enterprises there has been
a certain amount Of friction owing t.
he fact that the conditions were not
just what they should have been at the
different headquarters where the
games were held. due to the great
trouble in bringing as large team as
America has had to these foreign ports
and getting accommodations such as
the team were in the habit Of getting
AZ home.
"Of course, the same trouble that
confronted America was experienced
by the teams OF England, France, Ger
many. Italy and various countries. so

proposition that was advanced by Col
Thompson. to hire a steamship out

plans to take at least 100 athletes,
house and care for them, keep them
aboard the steamship I'm the harbor,
give the regular training table diet. so
there may be no reason for anything
golng wrong. 1t is planned TO have a
special exercising room on the lower
deck. Partitions will be removed, and
Trainer Murphy will have the oppor
tunity of seeing the men under his
care get proper exercise, as well as
sleep properly and eat properly"
The Swedish Olympic games COM
mittee has granted ten days grace To
entries from American athletes this
allowance being made on account of
the time required TO mail entries
across the Atlantic
Accordingly the names of the mem-
hers of the American team will not
have to be sent until June l6. This
will give the American
committee considerable breathng
space to look about and select the
team.
The Swedes have also agreed To the
American committees plan for sending
In entries for every available athlete.
At the last moment all the names eX-
cept those finally selected will be can
reled by cable. Tho American commit
tee will therefore use abe 4 so ostry

days Level

Chicago September 16.-Wheat showed
weakness today under the weight of 4
big increase in the visible supply. The
close was nervous at prices varying from
Saturday nights level to hc below.
Latest trading left corn unchanged to
from lsc of to &c up, oats down lac to
ss@Ihc. and provisions less expensive by
SC to 321sc.
Visible supply figures for wheat were
nearly three times that of the corre-
spending week year ago. Today's re-
ceipts at primary centers were also enor-
nous, double the total of II months back.
World shipments were larger than ex-
pected. Accordingly the market dragged
after it had made an early upturn due to
higher cable and rough weather north
west.
Export call for wheat almost disap-
reared and there was only limited de-
mand from mills. Clearances. however,
were liberal. December nuctuated be
tween so1sc and 9lssc, with last sales Ac
net lower at 90Ad9O7sc.
Frost reports led to a little buying
furry in corn, but belief became wide
spread that little If any damage would
result. Assertion that the yield in III
nois would break the record attracted
considerable attention. December swung
from 5215m5lssc to 52Ssc, closing steady al
52c, the same as Saturday night. Cash
buyers were out of the market until a
break of &c stirred business. No. vel
low was quoted at 69Aq70l4c.
Oats followed wheat downward. Ex-
port trade was at standstill. Foreign

was offering freely. December touched

There were indications that the gulf
storm had passed northward causing no
more than moderate precipitation and
without high winds. There was a good
demand around the opening figures and
during the middle of the morning prices
rallied I to points from the lowest on
covering by early sellers and fresh buy
ing apparently attracted by a bulish
weekly review of the crop outlook by a
leading southern trade authority. De-
tailed weather reports seemed to confirm
the early viewpoint of the storm, and
with the prospect for generally clearing
weather in the belt the list turned easier
again after midday. Rumors that the
south was selling hedges little more
frequently with reports of showers In
south Texas contributed to the selling
which became general.
