STARS TO MEET
ONLY IN FINALS
BEST MEN WILL NOT BE BROUGHT
INTO COMPETITION IN oLYM-
PIC PRELlMINARlEs.

The Svenska drottsforbundet-to
use the official title Of the association
(which will have charge of running off
the games at stockholm-has an
nounced that the heats i'm all races
where trials will be found necessary
will be seeded" that is, the crack
men from the different teams will be
drawn as far apart as possible, with
the idea that the top nOtehers will
only come together in the finals. The
plan WAS adopted for the purpose Of
insuring good racing i'm the trials and
semi finals and that only the really
good mem will lind their way into the
final round.
How the Swedes propose to make
the draw is simple enough. When the
official entry has been wen straight
ened out each country viii be asked
for list Of it's men, graded with tie
best men at the top, SO that II will
be possible TO know the stars from
each team al a glance and there will
be no trouble in arranging them
apart. There is a rumor also from
Stockholm that the Swedes may wait
until all the teams arrive and at a
meeting of the representatives. Of
each team make the draw.
The plan OF seeding" the draw
may not mean close contests in all
the heats, but it is a more desirable
method than the chance draw. which
on more than one important occasion
turned frst-class contest into a
;lasco.
There was a glaring example Of the
chance draw in the Olympiad at Lon
don four years ago. II was particu-
larly so i'm the 1900 meters, where
Sheppard and Halstead, two Of the
best men on the United States team,
were drawn against each other, and
were first and second respectively in
the second heat. which was by far the
best contested of the lot Sheppard
won by yard after a terrific struggle
on the home stretch, fact that show
cd that Halstead was little inferior to
the champion, Halstead was knocked
out of the competition then and there,
as only. the winners qualified for the
final. Had he been in the final he
would surely have scored at least a
point for the United States. Light
body and Sullivan met ia the first
heat. with the latter the winner and
the former in second place. \ seed
ed draw would have placed thorn
well apart. for Sullivan was an eX-na-
tional champion miller and Lightbody
had been the victor for the 1900 in
the American Olymplad at st. Louis
in 1904.
When the games were held in
Athens in 1906 James f. Sullivan.
who was then the American commits
sioner, suggested to "secd' the draw
of the spirits at the first meeting OF
the international jury and there was
all sorts OF surprise on the part Of
the Europeans. The Englishmen and
the Swedes were the only members
who agreed to the proposition OF the
American, which was lost on the vote
Prince George Of Greece, could not see
the advantage of seeding the draw
and, as he had matters all his own
way as referee. the chance meth
cd OF drawing prevailed. but for once
