MOTOR BOATS
NOT NEEDED

John M. Stinson who was designated
to get a supply of gasoline launches
for use at the flood points. stated to-
day that every member of the Ham
mond Motor club had volunteered to
aid in the work of rescue and to take
his boat to the scene of tn efood if
necessary.
This would have provided a feet of
at least score of launches Men to
man them would also have been pro-
vfded. With these assurances he then
telephoned to the mayor of South
Bend. who has been aiding in the work
of rescue, and placed the entire fleet of
boats at his disposal.
He then learned that the flood has
receded so that boats are of no longer
value. All of the families who were
marooned have been recued. He learn
ed that food and clothing are among
the things most necessary. Had the
boats been needed 1t would have been
necessary to send them to Huntington
and then motored thirty miles to the
scene of the floods.

ORIGIN OF CROUCH
START UNDER DISPUTE
Australian Runner Claims He Used
II Long Before Mike
Murphy.

The controversy as to the originator
OF the crouch start for sprint races
has reached Australia, with the re-
suit that the last word has come from
the Antipodes. In this country Charles
F. Sheriff., four times intercollegiate
champion: Tommy Lee. national cham
rion in 1885, and Mike Murphy have
been put forward as the originators OF
this start. Sheriff. Is known to have
used the crouch in 1855 and Tommy Lee
used this methrd Of starting in the
same year. Mike Murphy. however,
claims to have introduced the crouch
in 1851 or thereabouts.
The fastest comes from Bobby Nc
Donald, who writes from the Cum
meragund Aboriginal Mission Station,
New South Wales. under date of jan
uary II, 1913. Mcdonald insists that he
can prove that he was the first to in
troduce the crouch start and that he
used the start before 1883. Mcdonald
writes:
when 1 was between fourteen and
fifteen years Of age / used to start in
that way. and IL any of my old friends
are alive they will testify TO the truth
Of my statement. Sam Sloane will
remember me adopting this start in
Wellington in the big 150-pound handi-
cap. The starter said to me: Are you
getting up?' ! was on my knees at

OATH TO FLAG FOR
OLYMPIC ATHLETES
French Baron Believes Allegiance to
Country's Banner Would
Settle TrouhIe.

France comes forth with a novel prop
osition TO assure the International Olym-
pic Council that the Thorpe case will
not be repeated at future Olympic games.
A solemn oath to the flag OF their coun-
try is suggested as the best means of
assuring that competitors in the next
games at Berlin are amateurs.
Baron Pierre de Loubertin, president
Of the International Olympic Council, at
taches the greatest importance to this
idea. IF Jim Thorpe" he said, 'had
been called upon to swear upon the
Stars and Stripes that he never violated
the rules of amateurism, It Is inconceiv-
able that he would have told a lie.
IAN Olympic vow such as suggested
would at once do away with the neces-
sity Of numerous inquiries into the
status Of competitors and athletes would
be put upon their honor, and II is beyond
question that they themselves would
prefer to take such a solemn vow to
having athletic organizations play the
part OF detectives"
This is typically a French idea, and
has aroused enthusiastic approval from
Paris men prominent in sporting circles.
Critics unite in support OF it, some
taking the ground that such an Olympic
oath is desirable, II only because 1t
would be in some measure revival in
modern form OF the VOWS of chivalry
held sacred in ancient encounters.
