New York, September 22.-The Ger
man Olympic commission, which has
been Investigating the American ath-
letic system for the past month, will
sail for Berlin tomorrow The COM
mission conists of Carl Diem. general
secretary of the VI Olympic games:
Lieut.. Walter Won Reichenau, DIR. Mar
tin Berner and Joseph Waitzer They
visited and inspected every large ath-
letic club and university in the east,
south and middle west Copious notes
on the methods and system in vogue
for the development of track and field
athletics were obtained.
Herr Diem said tonight that the re-
suit of the Investigations could not fail
to be of great value in the Developments
of a German Olympic for the 1915
games in Berlin.
after seeing the perfect system
which you have in this country" said
Diem, II can readily understand why
American teams have won at every
set of Olympic games to date. 1t Is
really marvellous and there is nothing
like it at home"
DR.. Kraenzlin will sail with the COM
mission tomorrow and will take up at
once the formation of a corps OF Ger
man athletic trainers. who will have
direction of the best club and univer-
sity athletics. 1t Is not likely that tho
former University of Pennsylvania
athletic and record holder will attempu
to train any of the German athletes
personally for a year or two. His du-
ties will be to develop competent as
sistant trainers in the same manner
that Ernie Hjorberg did in Sweden.
Kraenzlin, however, will have personal
charge of the German Olympic team in
1916, assisted by four other trainers.
some of whom are likely to be Amer-
leans.
