MARATHON DROPPED
OLYMPIC EVENT
Not to Be Included in Pro-
gramme at Antwerp in
September, 1920.

No Marathon race in future olympics!
That is the rather startling dictum that
comes from the International Olympic
Committee and which will go into effect
with the holding Of the next Olympic
in Antwerp Belgium, In September of
yesterday in a letter from a corre-
spondent in London vino is close to the
athletic leaders Of England. He writes:
"A mysterious report was published
recently stating that the International
Olympic Committee had met in Lau-
same. Switzerland, and had decided
unanimously to hold the seventh Olyn-
pic games in Antwerp next year. It
was difficult to reconcile this decision
with the grim declaration OF the French
authorities that not only was an olym-
pic meet undesirable before 1921, but
that it would be impossible for them
to compete, with the utter lack OF
knowledge by the great sports control
ling bodies in England as to this speedy
revival Of the games am now able to
give the first detailed pronouneement on
the matter:

"In addition. kilograms OF approval on
the decision reached were received from
Holland, Norway and Spain. They were
also in communication with America and
there was no doubt tina. American ath-
letes would compete. Mr.. Laffau told
me that the Scandinavian countries wefA

Sweden would have organized an un-
official Olympic meet If they had not

was eager and prepared to promote the

Mr.. Laffau limited that the programme

objection on medical grounds. There
would never have been a Marathon II
the first games had not been held IN
Athens. 1t was understandable there,
but elsewhere It Is not wanted. Per-
sonally I am In favor OF more team COM
petitions and I think the conference
shares this view.
Mr.. Laffau has no doubt that Eng
land will literally support the games,
which will probably take place early in
September. Thanks to the army's prsc-
teal sympathy with sport during the
war, we have never had such an album
dance OF talent as at present. Needless
to say the conference agreed not TO ac-
