SPORTS
FLOURISH IN 1878
international Competition Has
Brought Much to Be Proud
of to This Country.

Not the least satisfactory feature of
q wonderful year in sports was the
almost uniform success Of American
athletes in international competition.
Great Britain, as usual. was the
chief rival, but other countries took
a hand in striving to carry off the
henors.
The Davis lawn tennis cup was re-
turned 10 this country through the
efforts of Mclaughlin, Williams, and
Hackett. England being the defending
nation.
The International polo cup was re-
tanned by the great four of Meadow
Brook after two hard fought exciting
games. England being the challenger.
Francis Ouimet, an amateur. defeat
ed the greatest and best Of Great
Britain in winning the open golf
championship here. while Heinrich
Schmidt carried Harold II. Hilton to-
an extra hole in one of the late rounds
in the amateur championship of Great
Britain.
England captured the international
motor boat cup. thanks to the amaz
ing speed and reliability of the Maple
Leaf ". while Miss Gladys Raven
croft invaded our links and carried
the woman's national golf title across
the Atlantic.

FOLEY THINKS u. S. 4
Is UP AGAINST 1T
Figures That Study Of American Methods by Foreigners and
Signing Of Copeland and kra enzen Means Loss Of Pres
tage in Coming Olympic Games
By BRYAN MORSE.

William Foley. who handled such
stars as Arthur Duffy. Maxey Long,
and Bernie Wefers when-they set up
running records and world beating
performances, thinks the United
States will be mere than hard pressed
to win I'm the coming Olympic games
1914.
Foley's opinion, based on actual
handling of men in competition in sor-
mer Olympic games at AtheAs and
Paris and his close observation and
personal knowledge of the front-rank
performers Of -the day in track ath-
letics, sounds the warning note TO
sAmericaT athletes to rally to the de-
Tense Of nonors rather easily won in
the past, which win be kept only by
the hardest struggle in either the
next Or the games after the Dresden
affair.
The development of schoolboy ath-
letes in England and the rigorous
shake-up given by the press in Great
Britain as to the failing prestige Of
John Bulls athletes is taken to mean
that another factor will cut into the
'yinniDgs Of the Stars and Stripes in
the coming events. Bill Foley thinks
that England has at last awakened,
after successive bitter defeats, and
viii rally with a will
During the last year foreign athletic
committees nave been proudly shown
american methods of training. en-
coTragin, and developine athletes
The German and Swedish representa-
tives have been given carte blanche
in looking into the innermost secrets
Of American ways and means Of land
ing Olympic games and making cham
pions. and Foley points to the sign
ing OF Al Copeland and DIR. Alvin c.
Kranzlein by Germany and Austria
as step taken by the holders Of the
Olympic games to better their past
performance and to go after the lions
share of the trophies. This, Foley
says Is another warning note already
sounded.
A most striking blow is dealt as a
warning to American athletes by Foley
when he says that the present day ath-
letes for the most part in Olympic
games are living upon the regulations
of the men who have performed in the
past
Our athletes for the greater part
games with the foreign element beaten
because Long, Wefers, Duffy. Prinstein,
Ewry, Hahn, land men Of like caliber
have defeated them\ in former years
Those first American wins at Athens
and Paris will never be forgotten, and
the boys who now wear the Stars and
Stripes in the Olympic games are using
regulations Of others to win.'' says
Foley.
The Washington times., 1913-12-28

! II believe that the athletes are jus
as good now, as they were in the oldel
day, but they do not train as conscienti.
as the other boys were able to do. D1f.
fly, Long, Billy Holland. and the ole
sprinters and quartermilers came
through heat after heat, and the boyi
of this day fail, In my opinion, TO meas
ure up to this standard. -
Both Sweden and Germany have had
their committees over here with the idea
Of going back and teaching the old dog
new tricks, and England $ getting
ahead with the schoolboy athletes and
Eencouraging every form Of athletics
calculated to develop in every way men
for the J1s1S games.
Sweden was a close competitor and
with Thorpe out OF the Penthalon grab
bed all Of the placed.
Sweden Is already preparing to send

lin In 1916. special training school
has been opened in Stockholm and fwen-
ty-four young officers from all parts
Of the country are Undergoing training

where the examinations are held under

1T should take US but one or two
minutes to figure out just what an
nouncenents like this Ii going to mean
with all Of the countries getting into
line for the games.
II notice." says Foley, that A. G..
Spalding, in hip recent trip to Germany,
is impressed ,Ath the rapid strides made
by the European countries In booming
sports. Spalding says thSt he has un-
bounded faith In his countrymen to hold
the athletic supremacy of the world for
many years to come. Aside from this,
think that 1t will be a question Of time
only when some one Of the countries is
going to cut In on US. 1t may not be in
1916, although / expect to see the hard
est fought set of games yet held. but
certainly 1870 is going to see America
hard put to hold the lead so long main

Bill Foley thinks that Austria and
Germany have made ten-strikes in TAX

captured the Sames held in Paris
kraenzlein should be aole to get all that
Is possibly to be gotten out Of the Ger
man athletes in development, according
to Foley. and looks to see him carry of
many honors in 1916.
In discussing East and West athletes
in this country, Foley thinks that the
Fasteners have better handling all the
way through, and it this reason alone
that has enabled them to come forward
with better performances. Foley Is far
from pessimistic In his outlook, but
maintains stoUtly that more systematic
training and less swell head will caory
American athletes up to the perform
ances Of the days Of Long. Duly, and
Wefers.

Always the same.


Here's the way they treat the protest
OF the Washington soccer team in its
recent game with the Baltimore organ
ization here, which is typical of the
way the Capital City athletes get theirs:
Regarding the reported protest Of the
Washington Club of the game won. by
the American eleven Christmas Day,
Secretary Miller said that there was
nothing to the rufnor: that there was
no protest made and that the time has
expired for entering one, the league
rules calling Tor a protest ID be regis
tered within twenty-four hours after
from Baltimore. Strikes Jimmy Rose
that there will be something doin~ at
the next meeting Of the hague
Think this over.
There is nothing to this jumping
business because the clubs will carry
the matters into the courts and the
players will be enjoined from taking
part in games. Now If the thirty odd
high salaried players find themselves
restrained from playing wi-n the fed
eral or any other league team and the
source Of bread supply is stopped i'm
mediately from the clubs to which they
ecIonged there will be a scramble to
get back into the fold.
Up to Cross.
Leach Cross must win h.s fight on
New Years Day with Bud Anderson
or go back to his original name Of
Louis Wallach. which is equivalent to
joining the Down and Out cub of prize
fighters
No one realizes this phase of the
situation more than Leacn. He has
been doping it out from every angle
and putting his best efforts into train
ing for the bout.
Cross is a favorite in the fight and
should beat Anderson easily
Ray and Vardon again.
The more ! think of IL the more lucky
Francis Ouimet appears to have been
in winning the title from Ray and Var
don. Ouimet's record Is scrprising and
a typical American victory. but when
the record of the two Britishers is
looked over Il is astounding to note
that they were beaten but once in
thirty-four matches while in this coun-
try last summer. Pitted aainst the
