TO STANDARDIZE
OLYMPIC GAMES
Changes in Rules viii Be Asked for
at Meeting OF Council to be Held
This Summer.

NEW YORK, June l4.-Thc ideals Of
James T. Sullivan and his associates,
first expressed in connection with the
Olympic games at Paris in 1900, look
ing to a standard list Of events and
rules for these great quadrcunial sports,
are IN fair way to being realized.
The special convention which has been
called for Berlin towards the end of the
summer will be charged with the duty
Of suggesting to the international
olympic Council a program of events
which will be standard the world over.
The need for this reform was lust as
strong dozen years ago as it is today.
lat 1t was a reform that. required more
education i'm athletic matters than most
~ these European nations possessed.
| There has never been standard list
| ot events. The policy of the Interua-
| tional Council has ALWAYS been to turn
/ the management of the games over to
the local committee to which the games
were awarded. \ certain amount OF
supervision has always been enforced.
/ h"t Tor the most part the country hold
/ ing the games was allowed considerable
latitude i'm making up the list of
ICylnts.
The "fict objection TO this arrange
mopr was that the local committee nat
urally Constructed a programme best
suited to he athletes of its own couu-
! try. IN 1905, for instance. the British
ICIympic 'ommittce put ON number of
events in which England alone was
strong ana other countries weak Other
countries have not complained against
this as Intentionally unfair. hut in the
effort to roll up the score the home
athletes have every advantage. Last
year, for instance, the Swedes com
PEELED the shot putters discus throwcra
and JaVeln throwers to be ambldex-
trous. Throwing those missiles with
both hands was a novelty for this coun
try. and of the three the United States
won only the shot put. With a stand
ard list of events every country will
know years i'm advance the events fuI
which it must prepare, and if it has INC
entries 1t viii have only itself q
blame
Another source of some contention
which the coming conference ought {,
remove is changes i'm the rules. Tn,
same regulations arc not enforced il
all countries. Americans for instance
do not like the OLYMPIC starting ruI
which makes no provision for peuaiiz
ing a false start. There has AWAY
been more or less criticism of this bf
Americans. I'm 1905 a charge was maA
that Walker beat the gum iu the lu
meter, dash. There was no charge o.
unfairuess at Stockholm last wear hu
the knowledge ON the part of the ath
lctes that they would not be peualize,
ing left at the mark caused them O.
break continually, and SO not only &
, mar the sport, bat greatly To delay th
, games. It is believed thar the Amert
. can commissioners will strongly recon
mend TO the international council "a ruI
for penaIiziug false starts.

AMERICAN TEAM WON
POLO CHAMPIONSHIP
Cup Retained by Margin
of One-Quarter Goal-SpectacIe
Thrilled $4,000 Persons

WESTBURY, June BY the mar
row margin of one-quarter of one goal
the American polo team won the sec
ond and deciding game of the Interna-
tional Cup series at the Mcadowbrooll
club Saturday afternoon, thereby re-
tanning the trophy for at least another
year. The score was AZ to 4 II.
The slight advantage to the United
States four over the English chalIen-
gers at the end # one hour of the
most desperate kind of play is fully in
dictated by the trihing difference in the
scores Of the two teams.
Polo play of the type shown by both
the tours in the crucial game has never
been seen heretofore in either national
ar international contests in this coun-
trey.
The spectacle thrilled the crowds of
$4,000 persons until the dignifed assem-
blage was fairly carried away and
" rooted like a typical baseball crowd
during the final period of play.
The substitution of f. L. Stoddard
for " Monte Waterbury, made neces-
sary by the accident to Waterbury on
Tuesday, and the moving back of
Larry" Waterbury to No. ,, caused
noticeable break i'm the team play on
/ the Mcadowbr0ok Big Four
The English four, on the other hand
/ benefited by the change which brought
F. NJ. Freake into the game in place
of Capt. A Noel Edwards. The veter
an internationalist proved a tower OF
strength, teaming up with both Cap
tains Cheape and Ritson in a manner
which opened the eyes of those who
had seen the opening performance OF
the challenging four on Tuesday.

MILAN OUT FOR RECORD.
Washington OutfieIder Trying For New
Base Stealing Mark.

Washington OutfeIder Trying For New
Base Stealing Mark.
Clyde Milan of Washington ought 70
beat his own base stealing record this
season if he does not meet with any
accidents. He is already leading by a
comfortable margin and is adding pill
fers to his record every day. In fact
most every time he gets on first and
the occasion demands it he comes pref
ty near to stealing second.
Opposing backstops catch him but
seldom if he is able to get any sort of
Il lead off first base on the pitcher.
Milan is Il better base runner this year
than he ever was before. He has
grown more proficient in the matter
of getting Il lead and is a much more
expert slider than he used to be. This
ought to be a great year for 'Zeb" on
the paths.

FROMME SHOULD HELP GIANTS
McGraw's New Twirler is Steady and

There has been much discussion con-
corning the trade of Devore, Groh

Fromme, On the face of it Tinker
seems to have gained the advantage in
getting three men for one. But Nc
Graw is foxy trader, and he wanted
Fromme, who is one of the best pitch

To get the man he had to give a shade
that looks as if the margin is in the
Cincinnati clubs favor.

MANY PERSONS COLOR BLIND
Tests Used by Railroads Show That
Almost Everybody Is Slightly
Color Blind.

The various tests for color blind
ness have come into practical use in
the examination Of railroad engineers
and the like, where the ability to dis
tnguish colors Is necessary, so that
these tests are no longer peculiar to
the laboratory. But 1t ia not gener-
ally known outside the laboratory that
everybody is partially color blind
that is. in certain parts of the field Of
vision. The most normal individual
can see all the colors only when he
looks directly at them. II looked at
from an angle Of about fifteen degrees
red and green can no longer be seen.
but in their places will appear shades
OF yellow or blue. This region Of the
eyes is known as the yellow-blue zone.
II the color be moved still farther to
the side the yellow and blue will dis
appear and only gray can be seen.
This region Is known as the zone Of
complete color blindness. An inter-
esting theory In regard to these zones
is that every normal eye represents
three stages Of evolution. The zone
Of complete color blindness Is the low
est stage. and appears in such ami
mails as the frog whose vision Ia
known as shadow vision. The blue.
yellow zone Is one step higher in the
scale, although not clearly marked
of in the animal kingdom. And the
appearance of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage Of evolution
Cases Of color blindness are. accord
ing to this theory. lack of develop
ment beyond the early stage of indi
vidual life.-Strand Magazine.
