WELLS HASN'T ENDURANCE
 TO FIGHT JACK JOHNSON
Army Service in India Robbed Eng
 hshman of Stamina.

That Bombardier Wells would be the ideal opponent to pit against Jack Sohnson if he only possessed even the average amount of endurance was snown by his remarkable exhlbition or science in the bout with Tom Ken neoy But as the case stands Wells would not have the slightest chance and any talk of matching the pair is akln to aiding and abetting a murder. The same can be said of a match with Jeannette, or for that matter with any rugged man capable of withstanding a beating for a few rounds
 It is regrettab1e that Wells is so lacking in endurance. There is no doupt that he is ski1fuI enough, to pierce the guard of Johnson, and while his strength lasted he would hit hard enough to trouble the black champion. But Wells is good for only one short spasm. Just why this is so is hard to understand. In build he resembles the lean horse that is supposed to be pest In long race: but in action no fat man could blow up more quickly But for the fact that his sparkling eyes and every appearance denotes perfect health. one would be led to think that. Wells is suffering from some illness.
 That he is unaccustomedg to the hot weather in this country has been of tered as one explanation for his lack of vitality. This reason might be ac-

INDIAN RUNNER REFUSED TO MEET
 KING OF SWEDEN

London, July 22.-It was learned on the voyage of the American athletes to Dover that on the day when the Finland left Stockholm the King of sweden sent an equerry to the ship to command the presence of Thorpe half-breed Indian and winner of the all-around athletic championship, al the royal palace.
 Thorpe refused to go. It is prob- ably the first time in history that a royal command of such nature was ever refused.
 It is reported the King wished to give Thorpe a token of apprecia tion of his wonderful work in winning the pentathlon and decathlon in the Olym- pic games. But when the gold-braid- ed royal equerry boarded the ship and gave Thorpe the summons, the Indian looked sheepish, tried to dig his foot into the deck, and finally replied, bashfully:
 fI guess I won't go.''
 Commander James. E. Sullivan al- most fell off a chair when he heard of the incident. He was shocked at such a breach of etiquette All he could say was:
 'Let us hope His Majesty has some sense of humor.'

Craig was not one of the Americans lined up against the German, but Donald F. Lippincott, who finished third in the final. and P C. Gerhardt, the speedy sprinter from the Pacific coast. opposed Rau in the final heat. The distance was 100 meters and there was wild scene when Rau led Lip pincott and Gerhardt over the finish line The German showed great speed. as the time was announced as 10 7-10 seconds.
 Even more excitement attended the summing of the 800 meter race, in which James E. Meredith and Melvin lShep- pard first. and second at Stockholm, entered the lists against Hans Braun Braun got into the final of the 800 in the Olympic meet and the Germans have been asserting ever since that he was boxed by the Americans and unable to show his speed. Meredith followed his usual custom of setting the pace, but the German never was very far away. There was a strong wind blowing up the backstretch and the Mercefsburg boy began to feel .he effects of it. so that the German runner drew alongside of him. Cheers from the thousands of Germans rent the air as Braun rushed by the Amer ican when they turned into the home stretch The Mercersburg boy fin iehed game1y. but he had not the re- serve speed that Braun showed. and the German rushed through the tape five yauds in front of Meredith.
