OLYMPIC GAMES
AROUSE ENGL AND
Poor Showing of British Athletes at Stockholm Is Sore
spot-Identify Losses in Olympics With Ques-
ton of National Defense.

Physical education as measured In
time and yards has become as acute a
question in Great Britain as votes for
women or the German invasion. Con-
tinued defeats in the Olympic games
have so worked up the imagination of
the Brlton that the losses in the classic
games have become strongly identified
with the question of national defense.
1t Is as II the specter of the Teuton has
become the paCemaker on England's
cinder paths. and for that reason promi-
nent men of England are raising heaven
and earth to finish in front of the Olym-
pic games at Berlin In 1916.
Never before have English journals
used as much ink in connection with
an international event as over the
games at Stockholm. 1t no longer suf-
fees the Englishman ITO write to the
Times" He is too much IN hurry to
pin his faith to the Thunderer only, and
every newspaper in London. as well as
outside has been bomoarded with sug-
gestions from "Vox Populi."
1t takes the genuine Anglo-Saxon
across the water a long time to get
started. but when he gets under way
he usually makes a thorough job OF II.
There was hardly single edition OF
any newspaper in London which for two

hibition at Stockholm. Then out OF all
the split ink arose the athletes advis-
ory committee to set things Alright, but
II found a large job confronting II, and
the end is not in sight and probably will
not be for some time to come.
Caste Spirit Hinders.
Regardless Of denials, the caste spirit
In certain respects is as strong in

thing which blocked the efforts of the
committee at the start, and this des-
pite the fact that Lord Desborough is
at the head of the body. with A. B.
George, a well-known newspaper man,
as secretary. Lord Desborough is presi-
dent of the British Olympic committee,
and as such was largely responsible for
the Olympic games at London and in
some measure also for the unpleasant
aftermath in which the United States
was largely concerned. Still he is re-
g6Tded as the highest authority on ath-
letics In Great Britain, and he readily
admitted to the writer in London that
herculean task confronted him and
his eo-workers.
Lord Desborough himself, OF course,
could say nothing about caste, but those
who worked with him were not so cir
cumspect. They openly admitted that
as long as the teams were made up of
gentlemen" who refused to have any
thing to do with trainers or mere ath-
letes, 1t was hopeless to expect a win
ming team. The happenings at Stock
holm, where some of the members of
the British team refused to have any
thing to do with other athletes because
they were not in their class" were re-
called with some comments stepped in
gall and wormwood. Those best posted
in British athletics admitted that the
only hope lies in a truly democratic
team and this Is to be modelled after
Americas. They expect to go even fur

letes practically four years in advance

PEPCO AND NINTH
TO MEET TODAY
Tie Battle of Yesterday Adds to Excitement in the Inter-
city Series-Bryant Pitches Excellent
Game for the Latter.

Pepco and Ninth are tied today fHr
the championship of the city. The
teams are slated to meet in a game
which Is expected to break the lie and
establish a winner to meet the Battle
Axe team on Saturday, according to
the action of the amateur commission
which ruled following yesterdays nc
decision game betw zen the contestants.
The action taken by the commission
eliminated Southern, which was defeat.
ed by both Pepco and Ninth. The series
now stands in favor of Pepco, as decided
by the commission, and the teams are
TO fight 1t out at the Independence
Les que grounds today. Should no de.
cision again be reached at the conCIu-
sion of today's battle, the tears will
again take the field tomorrow. In the
event that no decision Is reached the
commission will probably take further
action.
Ninth and Pepco played nine innings
to a 3 to tie yesterday at the Ind.-
pendence League grounds, Barton and
Bryant being the opposing pitchers.
Pepco opened the game by scoring a
run and for four innings the teanls
We're unable to score until Ninth came
across with three tallies. Asain for
two innings the teams were unable to
count until Pepco broke through in the
inal round with two scores, which lied
up the contest.
Bryant, pitching for the Ninth team,
deserves credit for doing exceptionally
well. He looked good all the way, and
might have won had his support been
better in the final round. M. Broome.
at second for Ninth, was guilty of three
errors which aided Pepco materially in
scoring.
Murphy. at second for Pepco, was the
only player to get an extra hit.
"Murph" and Much paved the way for
Nnth's rally in the sixth inning. The
pitchers showed to good advantage, al
lowing but few hits and striking out
seven each. Barton passed two batters,
and Bryant gave three men passes.

EIGHT SURVIVING
IN THE AMATEUR
GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
w. J. Travis Is Put Out Of
Running BY Jerome
Travers.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-The third round
Of the national amateur golf champion
ship tournament will be played today
following yesterdays matches, which
served to eliminate the veteran Travis,
c. G. Waldo. who defeated H. H. Hill
ton, w. c. Fownes, jr., H. B. Lee, Bob
Hunter and w. P. Smith.
Phelps and Travers, P. Hunter and
Kerr, Chick Evans and Schmidt, the
Massachusetts State champion, and
Norman F. Hunter, the surviving Eng
lshman, and Wood meet in the third
round today.
The second elimination round of thir-
ty-stx holes played today brought the
curtain down on c. G. Waldo, jr, of.
Brooklawn, who yesterday defeated
Harold Hilton. Of the Royal Liverpool
Club. the titlehoder. Waldo was put
out by Paul Hunter, of Midlothian.
w. J. Travis, former British and ma
tional champion, was eliminated by .Ie-
rome Travers, metropolitan champion
and twice national champion.
Travers struck a terrific pace, going
out in the afternoon play hole after
hole under par
Charles Evans, jr., of the Edgewater
Club, Chicago, Western champion, with
H. B. Lee, of Detroit. had an easy
match. Evans was dormie on the
twenty-seventh tee, and took the match
at the next green.
Warren Wood, of Homewood, put out
former champion w. c. Fownes, jr., of
Oakmont, who in 1910 beat Wood in the
finals for the title.
The elimination of Travis and Fownes
leaves the championship to be played
Tor by young men whose ages will aver
age nearer twenty-five than thirty
years.
The Washington times., 1912-09-05

At the close Of yesterdays game the
commission was confronted by the prob
lem of taking necessary action after
the tie. Southern was eliminated from
the contest, having lost to both teams,
and having no chance to be returned
the winner. 1t was expected that the
original schedule would be played out.
but as this was manifestly unfair to the
Ninth team. the commission decided to
take the action which has been men
toned.
Manager Gray will probably select
day with Bryant opposing him. Sui
livan shut out Southern in the last
Pepco- Southern game, allowing but one
hit and striking out thirteen in six in
nings. Bryant, who worked yesterday
will endeavor to come back against the
Independence League leaders.
DR.. Parker, manager Of the victorious
Battle Axe team. champions of Rich
mond, will bring a large squad OF root
ers with him when the team comes up
for the game Saturday. The personnel
OF the team is as follows: Rady. IS. +:
Ford, 1b. Bauer. rf.; Blount. 3b.; Dow
CT; Schmidt, H. Manager. Parker has
Whitfield and Hurcher as the box selec-
tons.
The action of the commission in elmi-
mating Southern from the contests for
the title does not in any way allow
Ninth and Pepco to receive all of the
monetary benefits OF the remaining
games? Southern will receive its share
Of the games played before the inter-
city series begins just as though the
regular schedule obtained.
Yesterdays tie game should bring out
nearly as large a crowd as that which
saw the Cornell-Pepco game II Pepco
Is as lucky with Ninth as 1t was in its
second engagement with Cornell, the
District title should go to manager Gray
tonight. Ninth, however. is certain that
II can turn the trick today and will
have all of its followers on hand to
take up the roofing end of the contest.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 5.-A new
