quitoes on the banks of the Passaic
River of latte August evening
Everybody, from King Gustaf V down
to the lowest peasant in the land, is
interested in every detail of the ar
rangements being made for the great
Olympic games"
1t seems strange that all of this ma
tional enthusiasm had its origin in
single drive of good, stout Swedish
arm six years before. But that is the
plain truth. 1t was Eric Lemming,
greatest of javelin throwers, who
went to Athens in 1906 and won the
first Olympic championship ever cap
tured by a Swede. On that occasion
he hurled the javelin to a new worlds
record mark and completely out
classed his nearest rivals. Incidental
ly, he has been champion ever since
that famous day.
At the same games another Swed-
ish citizen, Mellander, one of the
hlOSI pOMSliuliS DullI dIhlSISS III INC
world, an unusually magnificent speci-
men of manhood, carried off first hon
ors in the Pentathlon.
The Swedes were fairly throbbing
with the athletic fever after the last
Olympics, and VIXEN team composed
of twelve of Americas best athletes
visited them directly following the
London games missionary work was
done to such extent that the Swedish
people declared their intention OF
making a strong bid for the next
/ Olympics.

JOE LUCAS ON
HACK DRIVERS

Joe Lucas is indignant about the
reference to the Bethel street hack
stand as a notorious hackstand"
which was made in a local paper yes
terday.
IT control the Bethel street hack
stand" said Lucas, "and have twelve
respectable drivers. Farther up the
street are five other hackmen who are
always getting into trouble with the
police and who continually conspire
to do me up. 1t is these drivers who
are violating the white slave act, not
the drivers on the real Bethel street
stand which maintains only sober in
telligent hackmen and clean hacks"

INTEREST IN OLYMPIC GAMES
IS RUNNING HIGH IN SWEDEN

The sixth renewal of the Olympic
games of ancient Greece will be held
in Sweden next July. The wonderful
progress of athletic sport in that
northern country has entitled it to a
place with America and England on
the athletic map. In fact, it seems
that in enthusiasm Sweden is going
ahead of us.
The stadium now being built near
Stockholm will be the athletic center
of the world this spring, and on every
square mile of Swedish soil athletes
are training night and day.
If it is in bone and muscle and
sinew and nerve to do it, Sweden will
win the next Olympic championship
Or, if it is impossible to defeat the
Americans, at least the Swedes will
try to conquer the British, just for old
times sake.
Twice Sweden has just been nosed

Perhaps in the third trial the luck
will change If it doesn't, it will be
no fault of the Swedes, for this is no
mere A. A. U. affair with them.
The Government has taken charge
of things, and no patriotic war in the
olden days ever called out armies of
defense filled with greater enthusl,
asm and determination.
We may go over and capture the
worlds Olympic championship again.

"One of the largest merchants in
Stockholm" he says, told me that
the delicatessen trade is almost
ruined there, He said that every
healthy man in the country has given
up eating the many fancy little
snacks '-rich little cakes, a thousand
different kinds of spicy little picked
fishes, sweet toasts, pickles, cheeses
candiad fish eggs and stuff like that
just because they've learned that such
food is not intended for men who
would become great athletes.
Every club that ! visited had ban
ished the afternoon snack, and all the
members who weren't compelled
through necessity to wear canes were
putting in so many hours either on
the running track or in the gymnas

diets that were guaranteed to hell

tryouts next spring.

TRACK FOR
JACKS FIELD

At a meeting of the board of gov
ernors of the A. A. U. held yesterday
afternoon it was decided to petition
the board of supervisors for an appro-
priation which will allow of Atkinson
Park being put in shape for field and
track athletics.
The supervisors will be asked to
construct a cinder track and to put
in jumping pits.
Atkinson Park is near the Myrtle
and Healani boat clubs and when put
in shape will undoubtedly be used by
great many youthful athletes who
do not have access to Alexander
Field or to the Boys Field.
