park, Victoria, British Columbia. on
August 6, will bring together all the
best athletes of Los Angeles, Portland.
Seattle, Spokane all British Columbia
cities, as well as a strong team from
this city, representing the Olympic
club
Coach c. Holway of the Olympic
club yesterday forwarded the entries
of the Olympic. club men who will par
ticipate in the meet to Victoria, and
the six men to make the trip will con-
stitute one of the strongest teams in
the championships.
Jack Nelson, former national sprint
champion, will represent the winged
% club in the 100, 220 and 440 yard
events. He has been in training for
the last two weeks and will be in great
shape by the time of the meet
Nelson has beaten even time this sea
son for both the 100 and 220 events
and has run both. distances in even
time; in competition. At the present
time he is doing about 10 1-5 for the
century, and % -5 for the longer dis
tance. When right he expects to be
able to shade evens in both races.
Jumbo Morris, who made such great
showing in the all round champion
ship meet at Los Angeles last Satur
day, will be a sure starter in the hur-
dies. He is confining his running now
to hurdles alone, and expects to be
able to do about :15 20 by the time
of the meet He has also been entered
in the shot put and the broad jump.
Eddie Beeson will keep Morris COM
pany in the hurdles. Beeson is train
ing for the trip, and If in condition, is
the one man who looms out as able
to give the champion, Kelly, the race
of his life.
Beeson is also entered in the high
jump, in which he has a record of bet
ter than 6 feet inches, and the broad
jump.
George Horine the worlds high
jump record holder, will also be one
of the team. He is doing better than
6 feet in practice, right at the present
time, and expects to hold up his repu-
tation in the international meet He
will also compete in the javelin and
discus events.
Ralph Rose should be a sure point
winner in the shot put. hammer throw
and discus event. The winged 90
giant is always in condition for the
shot put, and with training between
this and the day of the meet, expects
to reach better than so feet.
No distance runner has SO far been
selected for the trip. Oliver Millard
and G. Donovan, the two club cracks,
are both about on an equality, but only
one is to be taken on the trip. Coach
Holway intends to hold a trial race
between these two men over mile
run some time next week to determine
which one is 10 make the trip.
The northerners have high class
milers in Clyde, who holds the coast
record for the distance: Mcclure, the
former coast record holder. and Wind
nagle of the Multnomah club of Port
land.
Besides the above Olympic club men
named, it is possible that three other
men may be taken, but this has not
been determined on up to the present
Miller, the former Stanford pole
vaulter, is now member of the club
and he may be taken to compete in
his favorite event. He has vaulted
considerably over IL feet. and will
stand a big chance to score in the
meet at Victoria
