VIII Ask Rostponement
of the Olympic Games
American Commissioner Says Athletes From This Coun-
try VIII Not Be Able TO ompete on the Date Setby
the Germans College Men Will Not Have
Had Time to Get in Shape

EW YORK, Oct. 31-James E.
Sullivan, American Olympic COM
missioner, has announced that he
would request the German Olympic
committee on behalf of the United
States team, to postpone the opening
of the Olympic games at Berlin in 1916
at least one week According to cables
received from Berlin the opening events
in the track and field program are set
for July 1. This date would prove a
handicap to the American team, accord
ing to Mr. Sullivan, since it would err
quire the United States representatives

lean colleges and universities from
which many members of the 1916 team
are expected to be recruited A dis
patch from Berlin says
The principal track and field events
of the Olympic games TO be held here
in 1915 are TO be decided between July
] and 10. according 10 an announce
ment made today by the German Olym-
pic committee The June dates cOntem-
plated earlier were abandoned by the
Committee at the instance OF the United
States, which objected because college
athletes from that country would be
unable to attend at that time of the
year.
''The football and hockey champion
shiOs are to be contested on May %
and June 3, respectively, and the row
ing on August T. The dates for the
sailing, golf, etc, have not yet been
In discussing the conditions, Mr.. Sui
Ivan said
@'It was the original intention of the
German Olympic committee to open the
track meet about the middle of June.
When L was abroad last summer I eX-
planned the situation from an American
standpoint and requested a later date
The German committee evidently made
a concession to US. but even to open the
games on July ! Will work a hardship
on our team in 1916. The Stockholm
games began on July and a similar
date at Berlin would be far more ac-
ceptabIe. Close to so percent of the
team viii be college students. some of
whom viii be graduated in the spring
Of that year. In many cases it would
be impossible for them to leave college
before June 1 ; or later To sail on that
or a later date would put the team
into Berlin with little or no tine for
final training
Expects Hard Battle.
81 sincerely hope that we can secure
a pOstponement of the opening for a
week at least for it viii mean a big
difference in the chances of the Amer
lean team winning. The games Of 1916
viii be closer and harder to win than
ever before and no team of the size of
the American aggregation will have to
travel the distance that ours will be
obliged to undertake. That extra week
means more to the American COMPETE
tors than to any other country inter
ested in the Olympic games and I feel
sure that when the conditions are IN
derstOOd fully by the German COM
nlttee the concession will be granted.
Owing TO the early and thorough

manner in which the Germans are pre-
pairing for the next Olympic meet all
these details will be arranged for in
advance and we are already planning
for our part in what will be, without
doubt, the greatest athletic games ever
held. From present indications the
United States team will consist of about
$50 athletes drawn from the colleges
and amateur athletic clubs as the re-
suit of a series of trial games held in
various parts of the country as in 1912.
In view of the new rule adopted at the
recent meeting of the International
Federation of Athletic association,
which permits but six starters in an
Olympic event in place of u as former

ct am in favor of a final tryout after
the sectional meets, in which every

compete These final tests should be
held at a central point, such as Chi
cago. Pittsburg. Cleveland. or Buffalo.

and field event chosen to form the
United States team Under these condi-
favor for all and those who ultimately
made the team would be without ques-
ton the best in their events.

athletes who viii be chartered in some
suburban hotel near Berlin during the
games and the American consul at Ber-
lin has already been requested to Sc
cure a list of suitable quarters in order
that they may be inspected and a selec-
ton made during the summer of 1914
when members of the commission will
be in Berlin attending the Olympic con-
ference for the final arrangements for
the games. It can be stated that the
team will not be taken to Europe in

case in 1912"

METHODISTS TO AID
WORLD EVANGELISM
NntiOnaI Commission of Methodist Men |
Makes Appeal for Personal Cam
Paign in Religious Work.


Indianapolis, Ind. oct 3I.-The new
report of the policy commission of the
National Commission of Methodist Men
was adopted unanimously today and
without debate Bishop W. F. Nc
Dowel, of Chicago, who read the re-
port, asked that it be accepted with
out debate, so that the support of the
message would not be destroyed.
Personal Evangelism.
The report, in brief, declares for a
campaign for personal evangelism; for
bringing up the youths in the church;
for the dedication of One-tenth of their
income into the church; for the hearty
support Of all boards created BY the
church; to assist in civic, Industrial,
social and educational uplift. and to re-
affirm the action of the general church
on higher education. for large funds
for poorly paid ministers, and for the
cause of temperance.
The resolutions also contain a state
ment made yesterday pleading for the
evangelizing of the world and accept
ing responsibility for 100000 people.
Before the adoption of the report an
attempt was made to include a resOlu-
ton in behalf of the superannuated
ministers, but this failed.
All Activities Not Included.
Another resolution introduced by the
business committee urged the latter to
assist the district superintendent in
adopting the new financial scheme in
all the churches.
Bishop Mcdowell in explaining the
Itp0II SdlQ iii the dCllNlLAGS OL the
church were not included for the rea-
son that the committee did not wish
to burden it with details to the eXclu-
sion of its spiritual force
This is not a convention for the
passing of the tariff bill or for the re-
vising of the currency" said the bishop
1T is a convention solely for stimulat-
ing interest in the kingdom of God"
Endorse Prohibition.
a resolution endorsing national pro-
hibitlon and the campaign of the Ma
tiOnal Anti-SaloOn league to suppress
the manufacture and sale of intOXicat-
ing beverages was adopted by the con-
vention amid great applause.
The resolution sets forth that, I'VE
stand for the speediest suppression of
all liquor traffic" and that the only
proper attitude of civil government to-
ward anything so harmful as the liquor
traffic is that of absolute prOhibi-
ton"
1t urges all Methodists to cooperate
in all movements for liquor prOhibi-
ton.
