BIG DEMAND FOR SEATS
AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES

Sentinel Special Service
New York, Apr. 6.-Although the
events in the Olympic games in the
stadium at Stockholm, Sweden, are
more than three months away. 29,-
00c seats have already been dispos-
ed of. and the committee in charge
has decided to build another stand,
capable of holding 10000 people, and
even with this 1t is more than like
ly that the late corners will be un-
able to secure seats for the contests.
Following the example of the Amer
lean team the Russian committee is
making arrangement to charter a
steamship for its athletes.
The American committee announc-
cd the final plans for accommoda-
tions on the Finland. The steam
ship will leave New York on June
IA and will proceed direct to Ant
werp. Two days will be given for
visiting points of interest in Belgium.
and on June 26 the party will leave
9ntwerp, arriving at Stockholm on
June 90. the day the rifle. revolver,
trap shooting and lawn tennis con-
tests begging. This will give the ath-
letes week before the track and
field games begin, on July 6.

The sprints are the only events in
which America is not almost sure to
figure as winner or In second place In
the Olympics. The fact that the two
stars who were defeated in London, Cart
nell and Rector, were thought 10 nave
the events secured almost before run
ming has just about upset all KINDS OF
calculations, and lent doubt as to the
outcome this year in Stockholm. America
has not as good representatives in the
short races this time as in the last olym-
pics and that fact will continue to cause
the Red. White and Blue defenders mucn
speculation as to the probable result.
1t has been held. and the opinion Is still
supported. that the defeat Of both Rector
and Cartmeil i'm London was due to the
difference in the system OF starting. ano
there seems to he a great deal OF sense
embodied in it. There is no reason to pc
lieve that Walker was fast enough 70
beat either Cartmell or Rector Of the
mark enough to win unless Favored IN
the starting. and yet that is Just what
he did.
Had an American been behind the pis-
toll, there is no question that the victory
would have come TO America. Now, IN
Sweden. there is every possibility OF the
same thing happening. The Swedish sys-
tenn Of starting will prevail. and the nom
penalizing Of the starters is apt to play
havoc with the American stars. Inen'
again. Germany has Splinter In Rau.
who has done around record time In the
sprints and who already has won a dec1-
sive victory over Tex Ramsdeil during
the latter's trip abroad. England also
has a champion in Mcmillan. who can
beat even time for the century. and there
is no knowing what the Swedes will put
over at the last minute. In all truth II
can be said that both the spr1nts are
doubtful events.
The game in the Columbia League to-
day will be played between Southern and
American Security and Trust Company.
The contest Is one postponed early in the

The regularly scheduled game today is
between Mount Pleasant and the trust

the league, and its place is being nlled
by Silver Spring, which is given three
days to get its team together.

Gandil, In addition to starring extensively,
was a tower of strength on defense. In
the seventeen games he did not have the
semblance of an error being credited with
1859 put-outs and assists. This is
most remarkable achievement. Other Ma

and in nine cases out OF ten he pays
dearly for 1t.
Business men figure that they are
Just boys grown up That is caused
by active memories and their unwilling
ness to admit that time has left its inn
press on them. They charge this idea
to ladies entirely, but no woman ever
had 1t on the average man in longing
for youth. 1t was Ponce de Leon who
went looking for the fountain of eternal
youth, and Faust, who sold his soul for
youth, wasn't a woman!
Ten minutes exercise daily for a hun

exercise all at once does injury. In fact
fifteen seconds OF real harsh exertion is
generally more than the business man
can stand.

joined a gymnasium and started in TO
use all the pulleys. weights bells and
other apparatus in the place the first
night. He tugged away so hard that
he brought on hernia then and there.
1t was an operation for him, and mighty
little exercise the balance OF his DAYS.
And these precautions are not super
huous. They are always timely, be-
cause these rules are ever being broken.
and especially when a business man be-
longs to some social or fraternal order
that is bent on holding an outing.

the fact that makes the race so interest

PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR BUSINESS MEN
AVOID FREAK EXERCISE.
By Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion

l recall tug-of-war contest that was
held in a lodgeroom in a western city
some years ago, in which one old gen.
tleman narrowly escaped serious injury.
His side was losing, and In order to
steal a march some Of the men on the
end made side run and that brought
loop in the hemp. and the loop caught
the old gentleman around the abdomen.
His breath was literally squeezed out
Of him, and he could not even cry out
and warn his companions of his pain.
He tainted and was taken home in an
ambulance and was confined to bed under
a physicians care for about a week.
This freak business in exercise always
merits condemnation. 1t is bad because
it calls for unusual exertion. 1t Is bad
because ii is apt to result In serious
injury and can never bring about any
real good.

HAD A KICK COMING.
Henry Had Barry Blocked From
Plate in First Game.

From the Philadelphia Prees.
One cloud marred the day, and that
was the necessity for a close decision by
Umpire Egan on the scoring OF the run
which won the initial game. Barry slid
into the plate in the tenth inning about
the same time that Catcher Henry got
the ball and put 1t on him. To many
spectators it appeared that Henry had
Jack blocked off the plate, even IL he did
not touch him in time. But Egan said
SAFE" and there is no court in the land
which can reverse that decision. no mat
ter how unjust ii was.
Yet 1t is too bad that in a game which
was SO important and SO bitterly con-
tested Washington has the opportunity to
cry. Robbed by the umpire" Lndoubt-
eddy, Manager Mack and his men. fair
sportsmen that they are, wish that the
decision had not been so close, even at
the cost OF the run and more innings.
for there Is no disputing the fact that
the Nationals were entitled to a kick.
They did howl, too. Henry approaching
the umpire in a threatening manner and
other Washingtonians surrounding him to
protest Luckily there was no blood
shed, though 1t must have been a bitter
pill for Washington to swallow.
