ATHLETICS MUCH IN FAVOR
Many Excellent Performers Being De-
veloped In Other Countries With
Idea Of Defeating Yankees.

James E. Sullivan, who was long
president of the Amateur Athletic
union, Is one of those who believes
that the American athlete will have to
look we'll to his laurels or he will be
defeated in the Olympic games at Ber-
lin in 1916. Mr. Sullivan understands
conditions both in this country and
abroad better than any other man and
is in q position where he can speak
from first hand knowledge. He has
been in Europe Of late and has exam
ined into conditions as regards ath-
letics in several countries. He finds
that in all of them athletics has taken
on big boom and the representatives
of the leading European countries on
track and field are working with
might and main to beat out the Yam
KEGS when they come together again
in the international contests. A num-
Der of wonderful young athletes are
being developed on the other side and
in the opinion of Sullivan they will be
able to. meet the Americans on at least
equal terms when the next Olympiad
rolls around.
James E. Sullivan has devoted his
while life to the cause of athletics.
