ATHLETES SAIL
FOR STOCKHOLM
VIII Have Ocean Liner For Exclusive
Use For Next Seven
Weeks

New York, June 15.-The American
athletes who sailed for Stockholm
yesterday will travel and live in far
greater comfort and have better opopr-
tunities for practice than any Of the
other four teams which the United
States has sent across the sea for the
Olympic games. By chartering a
large ocean liner for the exclusive
use Of the athletes and their follow
ers, the American committee has over
come many Of the hardships which
have beset the other journeys and I'M
doubtedly handicapped the athletes,
although the records of victories nee
essitae no apologies.
Once the athletes have set foot on
the steamer Finland at New York to-
morrow, they will make the big ship
their only home until their return
early in August. They will be away
nearly seven weeks, perhaps longer,
but during all that time it will prob
ably not be necessary for them to I'M
dergo a single change in diet At
Stockholm they will evade the gener-
al scramble for hotel accommodations
by keeping their quarters aboard ship.
It is doubtful If the Atlantic ocean
has ever witnessed such an athletic
carnival as will take place on route
with three score and more spinters
and runners, hurdlers and jumpers
and weight men at practice Trainer
Murphy will limit the work to a min
imum for training purposes, but even
without extra effort it is certain that
with so many crack athletes mid
Atlantic records will all be set anew.
The Finland is a much larger craft
than those used in previous Olympic
trips. Her main deck is large enough
for a track of eight laps to the mile,
and there is plenty of room for jump
ing pits and places for the shot-put-
tiers and weight men to work The
boat has fine gymnasium and a large
swimming tank
It is said that the athletes will not
be permitted to wear spiked shoes
when running on deck, but the steam
ship officials have helped by laying a
five foot rubber mat around the fur
long circuit Of the boat, which will
tend to avert the danger of the run
ners falling. Big wooden boxes filled
with dirt have been placed on board
ship as pits for the jumpers and pole
vaulters and weight men.
