Saws British Will Treat the
Americans at Great Olympic

would perhaps have done better to en-
tcrtain q little more freely the wishes
and objections of the other nations.
On tn" other hand. the great sacrifices
of work, energy and money which the
nation entertaining an Olympiad
necessarily has to face. merit the
highest M most unstinted recogni-
tioi and should he immune of sterile
criticism. In that spirit the Revue

program notwithstanding it's short-
c"mings--shoIld he unreservedly ac-
ccpted.
At th" same time it is pointed out
that reports such as the French should

most valuable material for the draw

the Revue Olympique appears a note
addressed by NJ. lie Baron Pierre de
Couhertin. president of the Internal
tional olympic committee. to his coll
leagues. of which we give h chief
contents. Various members of the
international committee have watched
with growing concern h unhealthy
ambition among governments and
municipalities to beat each other in the
erection of costly and extensive stadia
Tor athletic purposes. Exception is
taken of this ambition for the reason.
mostly. that the vast amounts spent on
such construction had far better be
applied In substituting athletic socie-
ties. thus helping on the good work
which they do in spite of sometimes
Very scanty resources.
The other point is that these stadia
encourage the arrangements of ath-
lctic meetings which. owing to their
spectacular nature, and ar undesira-
bic element of puff, are not in the in
tcrest of true sport. Furthermore,
such spectacular meetings are greatly
responsible for swelling the number
of those who prefer to watch athletics
rather than to take part in them and
thus help on the steadily growing
spirit of professionalism. 1t would
be most regretahlc thai such up-
healthy manifestations of athletics az
the construction of big stadia where
there is no need for them could be
traced back to the Olympic movement
itself. as most decidedly the first
stadfa were Olympic institutions. and
In more than II case the erection OF

Americans PLAY For TrOphy
M'GRAW IS GIVEN
$4,000 CONTRACT

Cincinnati. Feb. 14.-Jack Ryder
says that John J.. Mctiraw has a $780,
900 contract with the New York No
tional league club covering his serv-
ices for a period of five years. That
is, the Giant leader draws down the
tidy sum of $4,000 per year for keep
ing the New York club a contender
by always having his club up there,
and he is personally responsible for
the continued good showing of the
Giants over a period of many years.
McGraw is one of the most interest
ing characters in baseball. When he
went to New York the club had fin
ished last the yea before and was a
drag on the league. He brought it to
second place the first year he had
charge. and he has never been lower
than third at n time in the past ten
years. during which he has won three
remnants and n worlds champion
ship. He has done all this with his
own good judgment and force of char
acter and by maintaining the strictest
discipline at all times. and inspiring
his men with the desire to win hall
games. regardless of their personal
and individual records.
Christy is Old Standby.
McGraw has had one standby while
he has been with the Giants. Christy
Mathewson vas there when John
went to Gotham, and every one
knows what a tremendous asset Matty
is to any ball club. But one great
pitcher cannot win a pennant by him
self. McGraw had to make a great
many changes. but he has made them
at the right time, and always had
good men in mind to take the places
left vacant as the regulars were worn
out in the service.
Typical of Good Manager.
The career Of the New York club is
a living and constant illustration of
the extreme value Of a good manager
to a ball club. and the absolute neces-
sity of getting a man who will run a
team with judgment and intelligence
in order to he up in the race.
Losers Form "Alibi Club
Losing managers compose the Alibi
club. While they are circulating
around with their 'ifs," 'buts' and
hard luck" the fellow like McCraw,
boosting them to their faces. is laugh
ing at them in his sleeve and beating
him out with cas- year after year.
McCiraw has no whines. no com
plants. no alibis. He goes ahead maxi
ing his team play ball day after day
and keeping his men at the ton of
their natural speed. and most of the
time q little above it. He ia more
than fifty per cent Of the New York
ball club.

The stadium will not be finished till

cording to the official organ of the In

The Swedes are not blamed now for
arranging a program to suit them
selves, as the meeting in Stockholm
will be the las of the free Olympiads.

AMERICAN TENNIS

and Maurice f. Mclaughlin, CONSTITUTE
ing tho American tennis team, which
met defeat in it's attempt to lift" the
Davis international cup now held by
the Australians, arrived from lhe
antipodes on the liner Sierra.
They were defeated by a better team
under the existing conditions-was
Larned's reply as to how he accounted
for the Americans poor showing. The
trio begged to be excused from maxi
ing any comment that might be con-
strued as a losers explanation"
Crippled With rheumatism
American tourists returning on tho
Sierra, however, expressed the keenest
disappointment over untoward cir
cumstances which they declared had
robbed the Americans of a reasonable
hope of victory. Larned. they said,
had been so crippled with rheumatism
from the time Of his arrival In New
Zealand that neither in practices nor
the international matches themselves
did he show more than a flash of his
true form. On the day of his defeat
by Heath. the American champion
was in physical distress and limped
on the courts.
Wright Not Up to Form
Wright. too. according to returning
tourists. was not up to his game. A
few days before the international
matches were called he seemed in such
rare form that Captain Larned decided
to substitute him for Mclaughlin in
the single events. This proved to have
been a sad mistake for Wright ap-
peared to go stale" following the
postponement of tho matches because
of the rain.
Gives Australian Tough Battle
The young Californian was easily the
star of the American trio and in the
match he lost to Brookes. whom he
was permitted to- play by courtesy as a
substitute for Larned after a majority
Of the matches had already been won
by the title holders. He gave the
Australian champion admittedly the
hardest battle of the latter's career.
Ltarned and Wright will leave for New
York today.

The Americans won only three games

Granite rink and the big event was
in doubt until Oldham of Duluth and

in playing, finished their game. The

to the button. Then Oldham got in
through the same opening and Pear
