THE games In Stockholm" said Mr..
Baxter. were tho bese managed the
world has ever known, and the Ger.
mans will have to go some to measure
up to the mark set by the swedes In
caring for the athletes and visitors
No detail was overlooked to add to thu
comfort OF the athletes. Each nation
had great dressing room under tho
stadium. With every convenience known
to modern athletics. To show the min.
utencss Of the detail. let me remark
that little wooden shovels were furnished
them TO dig toe holds for putting the
weight.
While there II nothing but praise
for tho American athletes we must not
grow too over-conAden We excelled In
most Of the events. but in tho long
distance runs we fell down. although
we did take third place In the Mara.
thon. 1t Is these events to which We
will have to give more attention before
the Berlin games. for We must no. rest
content until We can take all the events.
We have the men. and all we need Is
to give more attention to these events.
The English did not make a good
showing In the games. and II was their
own fault. II 10 the eternal bull-head-
edness OF the English that keeps them
from admitting when they are defeated.
The English press is as antiquated as
their athletic methods.
'Engishmen have gone back, Their
athletes do not understand technique,
They showed that particularly IN the
jumps and in the weight events II the
English athletes expect to show in fu-
ture Olympic games they must ge,

fathers.

lish athletes haven't kept pace, They
know how to train their bodies. bu,
they overlook tho fact that AN alert

In the future Olympic games We must
look out for the Firms. the Russians, the
Germans and the Swcdes-partl cularly
the latter. Those athletes from the
north countries displayed wonderful
physical form and with more training
they would have made a great hsowins,
