Meredith Not Stranded,
Say His Friends Here

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 20.-Relatives
and friends of Meredith, Sheppard, and
Lippincott, three of the heroes of the
last Olympic games, ridicule the story
that the three athletes are stranded on
the other side, and that they cannot
get back home owing to the fact that
the time limit on their return tickets
has expired and they have no money
with which to purchase other tickets.
Lppincott's brother today declared
that the athletes had sailed for home
on the Majestic last Friday.
Meredith's father also ridiculed the
idea. why. that's all nonsense" said
Meredith's father. If Ted was broke
he would work his passage home rather
than let any one know 1t; but 1 know
he isn't broke"
The three athletes are coming back
on the Majestic with Joseph f. O'Don-
nell, of the Allen A. Kerr Company
here. who accompanied Melvin Shep-
pard and the other athletes abroad.
