There IL a greater interest than for
years past In the annual gymnas-
tic championships Of the Metropolitan
Association which will be held m
row evening at the New York Turn
Nerein. Eighty-hfth street and Lexington

years the New York Turn Verein with n
well balanced team has had no difficulty
In carrying OF the team honors. but
things have changed this year and the

as formidable c~ontenders for the honors.

rounded up a representative collection OF
gymnasis, including the best to be found
In New York. Connecticu, and New Jer-
sey north Of Trenton. There Is some
doubt as TO whether Franz kanis, the
present national champion. will appear
10 defend his title. but Peter Hol. the
runner up In the national event, will he

his nance of capturing the all around
title. Hol will be the big gun IN the
