TO POSTPONE OLYMPIC DATE
American Team Would Be HandI.
capped by Early Opening on July
1-1e16 Games VIII Be Close.

James E. Sullivan, American Olym-
pic commissioner has announced that
he would request the German Olympic
committee, on behalf of the United
States team. to postpone the opening
of the Olympic games at Berlin IN
1916 at least one week. According to
word received from Berlin, the open
ing events in the track and field pro-
gram are set for July l. This would.
prove a handicap to the American
team, according to Mr.. Sullivan, since
it would require the United States
representatives to sail before the clos
ing of the American colleges and uni.
versities. from which many members
of the 1915 team are expected to be
recruited. In discussing the condi-
tions Mr.. Sullivan said:
ut was the original intention of the
German Olympic committee to open
the track meet about the middle of
June. When / was abroad last sum-
mer explained the situation from an
American standpoint and requested a
later date. The German committee
evidently made a concession to US,
but, then, to epen the games on July
will work hardship to our team in
1916. The Stockholm games began on
July 6, and a similar date at Berlin
would be far more acceptable. Close
to 80 per cent. of the team will be
graduated in the spring of that year.
In many cases it would be impossible
for them to leave college before June
15 or later.
The games of 1916 viii be closer
and harder to win than ever before,
and no team of the size of the Ameri-
can aggregation will have to travel
the distance that ours will be obliged
to undertake. That extra week means
more to the American competitors
than to any other country interested
in the Olympic games, and feel sure
that when the conditions are under
stood fully by the German committee
the concession will be granted.
According to the present plans of
the American Olympic committee the
team, which will consist of about $50
athletes, will be chartered in some
suburban hotel, near Berlin, during
the games. Incidentally it may be
stated that the team will not be taken
to Europe in specially chartered
steamer, as was the case in 1912"

Everybody Except the Clergyman Is
Privileged to Weep During
Wedding Ceremony

A pucliarity Of bridegrooms was
pointed out by the curate, who asked
automatically for. medical certifi-
cate showing that he had cold in the
head.
But that is self-evident," said the
doctor. You don't need a doctors
word for that. You are all choked up
and your eyes are watery."
1T Is those very symptoms that
make a certificate necessary to placate
the bridegroom" said the curate.
without that, he will think am cry
ing, and will take my tears as per-
sonal insult. Copious weeping is the
privilege of everybody at wedding
except the parson.
Bridesmaids may snif1e, mothers
sob, and bride and bridegroom falter,
but the man who ties the knot must
remain dry-eyed and clear-voiced.
Emotion on his part is construed as
grief over the brides bad bargain.
and the best-natured bridegroom on
earth resents it."

Friendly Qualities.

If you wish to make friends your
heart must be kind, your tongue gen.
tie. your motives disinterested and
you must cultivate the blessed faculty
of responsiveness.
These are the qualities that attract
people. If you will present a sunny
responsiveness to the world you need
not fear but that friends will flock to
you.
Having made friends it rests with
yourself to hold them fast by worth
and sincerity. Believe in them with
a loyalty that cannot be shaken by
petty suspicious and the tongues OF
gossip.-Exchange.

First base is beginning to look like a
Hoodoo (spelt with capital H.) The
initial sack is fine and dandy when it
comes to playing there on and drag
ging down the salary. But
Managing and holding down that
cushion don't seem to hitch, writes
Malcolm Mclean in the Chicago
Evening Post Or, rather, those who
try the stunt are apt to come to a
bitter end
Glance hurriedly over the following
list, and then see if we aren't on the
right trail:
Frank Chance-Summarily ousted
from the management of the Cubs last
fall by President Murphy.
George Stovall--Po Politely deposed
from the leadership of the Browns by
Colonel Hedges, president.
Jake Stahl-Winner of world title
his first year with the Boston Red
Sox and handed the hook by Prexy
McAleer during the midst of the sea-
son just past.
Harry Davis-Elevated to the man
agerial reins OF Cleveland, unable to
hold them for any length of time, and
now back with the Athletics.
Hal Chase-Boss of the New York
Yankees for a spell, and mighty glad
to get from uRder.
You can scarcely call any of these
men failures as ball players. The re-
verse is true. In fact, we doubt if you
can name five higher class first sack
ers in the history of the national
game.
Consider them as actual workers
(aside from their careers as man
agers):
Chance-One of the best men who
ever guarded the station; a wonder
on low and wide throws; a 300 hitter
and a wonderfully fast and heady
base runner.
Stovall-Possessed of all the attri-
butes given to Chance. except he
wasn't quite as fast.

Best sIons Of Genius.

MY son, said the Old Philosopher,
:; when you hear a feller talkin night
and day about the fire of genius, just
trail him to where he lives at and
you'll very likely find a cold hearth
and the wind whistlin' through the
cracks in his dwelling place. much
prefer to hear EN- talk about the
strength of genius, and see 'em give
an example of it by swingin' an ak
and chopin trees stove-length. You
see the freight twinklin' from the
windows Of that feller's home, and
you can lay yer last dollar on it that
his tables always got enough to say
grace over. Atlanta Constitution.

Stahl-His fielding and batting was
largely responsible for the Red Sox
triumphs last year! cleanup swat
ter.
Davis-Connie Mack's chief lieu
tenant during his many years on first
for the Athletics. A cracking fielder

prime. He was reasonably fast in ad-
dition
Chase-A first sacke- who needs lit
tie comment. Today be leads the field
in effective work-fast, heady ar6
consistent in all branches.
This puts the question squarely up
to us, Why the hoodoo?
First base seems to be the best of
all places to watch the play and di-
rect the game The custodian of that
station can tell-next to the catcher
just how the pitcher is working. He
can direct the whole play by signals,
having all in sight except the right
fielder.
It's hard problem to answer.
Mayhap it's matter of luck
something firmly believed in by ball
players Perhaps it's something else.
You can scarcely call Chance and
Stahl failures as managers. Both won
league and world titles-Chance q
number of them
Many lay the hoodoo on tempera-
ment.
That may have. something to do
with it in couple of the cases. But
il won't hold water with the rest.
We think accident cut some ice
Chance was beaned a number of times
and Stahl hurt his foot. Neither of
their presidents wanted bench man
ayers. So they passed.
First base is a dangerous spot to
play One is always open to injuries
there
But the final analysis is something
we wouldn't dare to attempt It
