New York, June 1O.-one glance at the
list Of worlds record holders and cham
pIons selected to-day by the American
Olympic team selection committeeshows
that the United States win have a team
At the Olympic games next month which
surpasses any team ever gathered by any
country in the history Of sports.
After a hard days work at It's meet
ing at the Waldorf the committee with
nearly loo names 70 be considered, sifted
cut the athletes who are TO try for the
sixth time to win the honors in the
Olympic games Five times In the past
has the Stars and Stripes been hoisted
to the top Of the stadium as sign OF
victory, and the work Of the committee
makes It as near certainty as Is pos
siple that the United States will again
lead the world In athletic achievement
when the last race Is run In the stadium
az Stockholm, Sweden.
Not only are the Is0 individuals who are
tc carry the colors Of Uncle Sam on the
track and field the best in their class,
but the men in the other events are re-
/ cruited from the leading clubs and COL
Ieges and those two great schools, the
| United States Army and Navy.
Army Stars I'm Line.
\
| ride against the flower of the world,
while the two branches OF the service are
combined with the champion civilians in
/ the shooting with rife, revolver, and
fancy target work.
After picking the men thought to be
the best in their class, the committee
filed each event with the names OF men
who, while OF high class, could not be
placed in preference to the frst-string
men. Those men were placed on a sup
Elementary list, and will be taken on
condition that they pay their own ex-
penses. In the event Of the committee
having a surplus after the regulars are
provided for, these men will be taken
at the committees expenses. and II any
man who pays his own way scores a
point he will be reimbursed.
Many OF the men on the supplementary
list were placed there at their own re-
quest, as they feel able to pay their
own expenses, and did not wish to shut
out some other man who could not af-
ford the trip
At a meeting Of the executive commit
tee, held before the selection committee
held its meeting, the following men were
appointed to act as members Of the in
ternationsl jury at the Olympic games:

letic juror, Gustavus T. Kirby, juror on
