Rather than besmirch the most

There are no good jumpers or
pole vaulters in the Irish club this
year to take the place of Harry
Porter, winner of the high jump
and E. c. Cooke, who shared first
place in the pole vault with Gill

Meyer May Capture Sprints.
Lawson Robertson has developed
a Splinter who has a good chance
to make the other nations take his
dust in the 100-meter run. an
event in which America could DO
no better than third four years
ago. Alvah Meyer. the youngster
who last year made it a habit to
win championships in even time
ten seConds-has been training for
the past two months at Celtic Park
and has been doing ten seconds for
the hundred in practice whenever
called on for time trial All that
Meyer needs now is few hard
races to bring him to his best form,
and Robertson predicts that his
protege will do 94-5 seconds by the
time the American tryouts are held
Bob Cloughen. second to Kerr, Of
Canada, at the London 200-meter
run, Is fast rounding into form,
and with his added experience will
be a Strong factor in the sprints in

sistent work over the hurdles Of

as the best timber topper America
has to offer He is good for Is IS
seconds for the 110-yard high hur-
dies and has a record Of "a As sec
onds for the 22o-yard low hurdles
His victories in both events at the
national championships last sum-
mer make him a favorite for the
hurdle race in Sweden.
George Bonhag. always a point
winner on Olympic teams, is max
ing a bid for the 5000 and 10000
meter races, and as he has been
smashing American records at dis
tances from three to ten miles, his
work in Sweden should crown all
his previous efforts and give the
United States the best chance that
it has ever had of scoring in these
events.
Harry Gissing, now wearing the
Winged First emblem, is an ath-
lete of whom great things may be
expected Gissing. always a great
runner. has settled down to serious
work, and with the advantage Of
training with Sheppard, Jim Rosen-
berger, Frank Riley and Abel XII
Wat, is showing better form and
more speed than at any time In his
sensational career Gissihg will be
entered for the 400 and 800 meter
races, and It, would be no surprise
if he snaps the tape in new record

Sheppard Needs No Introduction.
OF Sheppard there is no need to
say more than that the Peerless
One" is training harder than ever
with the intention of repeating his
great victories at LONDON and that
he is confident of beating all of the
record breakers when he gets them
in a real race.
Among the milers there is none
who has better chance than lit

time for the mile which has been
bettered by few men in this coun-
try, and with another years
strength and experience will be
many seconds better

scored 551-2 points at the olympic
games of laos at London there re-
mains a strong nucleus for an
other winning combination at
Stockholm. Sweden, this summer.
The point score Of the Irish ath-
letes at London was bigger than
the aggregate of all the rest of

men who made this record are now
in condition to repeat

frsts Of the fourteen captured by
the United States there remain
Melvin Sheppard. winner of the
500 and 1900 meter runs; Martin
Sheridan, who took first prizes in
the two discus events and third in
the standing broad jump. and Bob
Cloughen. who was second in the
200-meter run.
To aid these men the Winged
Fist club has gathered a collection
Of athletes who have won cham
pionships ia this country and have
proved to be among the fastest and
best in the world.
First among these as being
possible winner of the great Mara
thon race, the classic race OF all
olympic REVEALS, is Michael Ryan,
the winner Of the Boston A. A.
Marathon. which was the official
Eastern tryout Of the American
distance runners. Ryan is con-
coded to have the best chance of
winning the great race of any man
who ever essaved the distance for
the United states. He is able to
20 the distance under any condi-
tions and has speed enough to
Withstand the sprints Of the fast
foreigners whom he viii meet in
Sweden. He is in every way a fit

being returned a victor than any
of the others is big Matt McGrath.

the same distance, but the Irish
American A. c. weight thrower has
improved SO rapidly that Rose will
be forced to make new figures to
