The showing made by the Ameri-
can athletes in the English track and
field championships again demon
strates the fact that in this particu-
lar department of sport the United
States performers can hold their own
against the world. In an entry list
OF close to 240 there we're seven
American competitors, three of whom
participated in the two events giving
this country total entry of ten.
This little band competed in nine of
the nineteen events composing the
programme, winning two first, two
second and two third places, five of
the seven entrants being placed in
the finals against field which in
cluded athletes from all parts of the
British Isles, South Africa. Sweden,
Australasia and Canada.
These entries were either personal
or club entries and were in no way
official United States or Amateur
Athletic union entries. The expenses
of the athletes were paid by them
selves or by their respective clubs,
and the conditions under which the
athletes trained and travelled abroad
were far different from those govern
ing representative American team
competing in either Olympic or inter
national track and field games,
