Foreign Politics Would
Mix In Olympic Games

There was something behind the
resolution passed By the American
Athletic Union at its annual meet
ing in New York appointing five dele.
gates to the International congress or
federation that will be held next
summer for the purpose Of formulat.
ing international rules to govern track
and field sport and to standardize the
programs for Olympic games. The
hast paragraph of the resolution reads:
1T Is the sense of the Amateur
Athletic Union Of the United States
that any action of such congress or
federation. so far as it pertains to
participation In 0lympiads, shall be
subject to the approval of the inter
rational olympic committee"
That means the Amateur Athletic
Union will not consent to have the
jurisdiction over Olympic games
taken away from the international
committee. That committee has done
such splendid work that the union
wishes the committee to continue as
the highest court over things olym-
pic.
Through a movement started BY
Ernie Hertberg, the Swedish trainer,
the representatives of the various ma
lions at the recent 0lympiad were
interviewed regarding the organiza,
ton of an international athletic con.
gress to frame rules to govern In
Etesnational track and field sports. The
idea was a good one and all Of the
officials of the various countries were
enthusiastic about the project. James
E. Sullivan and other members of the
American Olympic committee were
quick to see the good such a congress
would do for sport and we're promi
lnent In promuigatfng plans for the
formation of such a federation.
Foreign Politics Involved
b It was learned, however, that some
! of the men interested in the projeci
| favored the idea for the ultimate puF
pose of sapping the power of the in
tefnational Olympic committee and
gaining sovereignty over Olympic
sport Themselves There was much
foreign politics behind the PROPOSE

WHY venice GOT
VERNON 5 PLACE

LOS ANGELES There exists an
impression that the transfer of the
Vernon Baseball Club was caused BY
the sale of liquor in an adjoining lot.
This is erroneous, say the Coast
league directors, who declare they
did not consider that feature ut all
They would have been inconsistent,
they said, in basing the transfer on
those grounds as long as they per
mitted liquor to be sold in the stands
at Recreation Park, San Francisco,
and permit the Oakland club to use
Freeman's Park, which has saloon
in one corner of the lot. T.. j..
1t was the inadequate streetcar
service, which helped to keep the at
tendance down, and the complaints re-
garding inadequate police Protection
for umpires and players, as we'll as
the rank odor from manufacturing
plants and packing houses that
brought about the dropping of Vernon
from the league circuit. Jack Doyle
did everything he was asked to do in
improving conditions, but the coli-
plants continued.
There is a probability that-the
schedule will be changed so as TO al.
low two games a week at the seaside,
Friday afternoon and Sunday morn,
ing. 1t is believed that the popula'
ton of the three beach cities, Venice,
Ocean Park and Santa Monica, with
the thousands of daily visitors from
Los Angeles and elsewhere, will be
ample to support a club in the Coast
League, and that the attendance will
justify two games a week.
Venice is a popular beach the yea
round, and during the months in
which league ball will be played the
daily average Of visitors here will run
away up in five figures. Venice
seems to be the ideal location for the
club.

AVIATION AS SAFE
NOW AS FOOTBALL

Aviation now as safe as football. -"
The striking assertion above is
made in an article appearing in the
January Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. which tabulates the aviation ia
talities OF 1912 and comments on the
death rate among airmen for several
years past. The article states
1.-THE number of airmen during each
year. including all others as we'll as
the licensed pilots, works Out pretty
closely to five in 1905; so in, 1909;
800 in 1910; 1900 in 1911, and $500
in 1912.
Nov, making a few simple deduc-
lions from the foregoing data, it is
easy to calculate that in 1908 there
was fatality for each thousand miles
OF flight; in 1909, one for each 1000
miles; in 1910, one for each 10000
miles; and in 1911; one for each 3d.
ono rifles, and, tn 1872 one for each
ID7 900 miles. 1t is equally evident
that i'm 1908, one in five of the air
men were killed; in 1909, one in IL;
in 1910, one in II; 1911, one in 20,
and In 1912, one in 81.
"On the face of it then, aviation,
has consistently and rapidly .improv-
cd lii safety from year to year. until
now It is at least ten times as I'M
likely 20 kill a person engaged In 1t
as it was In 1908. And, in spite of
this reduced danger per individual,
there is a still greater reduction of
danger per unit Of mileage, 107 900
miles OF flight being now accomplish
ed with the same toll Of human life
that only four years ago was paid for
each one thousand miles.
Yet ninety-nine persons out of
every hundred are impressed with the
idea that aviation, which had killed
less than half dozen individuals
-four years ago, has grown into some
thing terribly dangerous. when, as a
matter of fact, aviation commenced
as something very hazardous and has
developed already into something
fully 80 per cent less risky, until now
a flight in an aeroplane is far safer
than a ride in racing automobile,
and is only about as hazardous as
participation in "a football game,
which, for numbers and time of indi.
viduais engaged. rolls up substantial
~ an equal fatality list"

NOLAN AND new

Los ANGELES, Dec. 2e.-Willie
Richie has named the three scrappers

may be eligible to Q match with him.
the trio is made up of Wolgast, Rivers
and PaoHey Mackarland. Billy Nolan.
his manager, writes to this effect and
closes his letter with an acceptance of
the offer made by Jones and Woigast
to bet $4,000 on the side in a match.
Judging from the expression IN

There are three boxers who be,
Iicye will prove attractive In a contest
with Willie Richie, the new ltght.
weight championship holder of the
wCria. They are Mcfarland, Wolgast
ard Rivers. Richie will battle any OF
them or all of them. in whatever order
| the public demands, after he has mn
ished his theatrical engagements.
ITO date the largest guarantee re-
ceived by us as an offer OF q match
Tor Richie with any opponent IVES for
a match with Joe Rivers. OF the three
men named / would prefer Wolgast
for Richie, as the new champion al
ready has whipped him twice and
should be able to do 1t more decisiyely
the third time Rivers and Mcfarland
would give Richie more trouble by far
| than Wolgast. -
"IIaying seen all these men in &C
ton, it is my candid opinion that the
| lightweight champion Is in no danger
| for a long time to come. None of the
resent crop of lightweights figures to
give Richie much trouble, and If he
ever loses his title 1t Is my opinion
that it will be to lightweight now un-

already is accredited as one OF the
cleverest boys in the game, and his
courage has been given the acid test
I.upon several occasions and demon
strated as of the highest type.
Now for Jones and Wolgast: After
returning to Los Angeles, 500 miles
from the scene of their defeat, they
began to talk, denying that there was
any foul administered and also deny.
| ing that Wolgast ever was knocked
down. There were some two dozen
cameras snapped on every movement

| II the denials of Jones and Wolgast
IF they will come to our show next
week in Los Angeles I will spiei for
their benefit, as the canvas shows the
rietures made at the ringside. This
can be proven to their satisfaction,
| Nothing would suit me better than TO
call their attention to the modest offer
made by them to bets$25,000 in re-
turn match. This is. a lot of money,
tut my confidence in the result of the
third match between these boys Is SO
great that | am compelled to accept
! their offer. Let them post their cash
and the match will be made after we
close our theatrical engagements.

north to the effect that Richie has
sisned a theatrical contract calling for
a 80 weeks tour instead of 10 weeks.
