It, yet Sidney 5. Abrahams. the Cam
bridge university broad jumper, and
one of the closest students of ath-
elites in England has been here for
some time this spring To see IL the
American athletes are all they are
cracked up TO be on paper, The Cantab
has just returned home and has given
his opinion that America will win Gt
Stockholm, and that England Is i'm for
another good trouncing. Abrahams is
a firm believer i'm the American meth
cd Of training and for the past couple
or years has been advocating the plan
OF bringing some one 0f the leading
Yankee trainers TO England to coach
the natives. Last September the Light
Blue jumper made a tour of Sweden
to do some competition and incidental
y to have a good square look at the
Swedes on their own grounds. Ills
first impression was that the Swcdes
might have a chance TO capture the
olympic point honors. but the more
he saw OF the best men tie less he
thought of their chances, and in the
end he concluded that If they should
finish i'm third place they would be
favored with a streak of luck.
Real Trainer Needed.
While Abrahams was sojowning here
some reveIsals Of form occurred in
England and speaking while yet unin-
formed of what had happened, he
made some bad breaks in his compari-
son. He thought G.. r. l.. Anderson
the best quarter-mile. though he was
beaten by Mcmillan, and stephens he
thought. was the best English repre-
sentative with the hammer but he
was beaten In the varsity sports
by Zeigler a Rhodes scholar. In deal
ing with the return of Abrahams and
his comparison. letter from an Eng
lishman interested in the Olympic team
says. i'm part: "Abrahalns still thinks
England has the best athletic material
in the world, but that there is no one
here TO develop 1t.
While other countries have made gi-
gantic strides and are using up p-to-date
methods of training england is max
ing no organized effort TO bring out
the best in their athletes.

lived in Vinita from early childhood,
and has a host of friends, who will
sympathize with her in this sad hour.

eral arrangements had been made ex-
cept that the funeral will be held at
the home of Mrs. Warurck's mother,
Mrs. S. E. Housely, on Excelsior ave
nue., upon the arrival of the body. Ow-
ing to the distance, and number of
changes the funeral party cannot reach
