sprinter. The Finns-superstars in
Tue java'in, will Sc, out to develop
other field stars and sprinters to help
balance 4 team strong in long dis
lance power.
Amerl an athletic officials have al
ready started a campaign to en-
courage athletics IN high schools.
Their hope is to have eventually a
skilled man in charge of athletics who
can discourage young athletes from
"hu1nino themselves out" in trying
to win every event on the program.
The Swedes, under the direction of
Ernie +. ertsberg, have gone into
specialization" with the greatest
success. They hold up the idea to the
youngsters that it is better to ex-
eel in one event than to be half-good
in a dozen.
The next Olympics probably will be
held in Los Angeles. The Interna-
tional olympic Committee meets in
Lucerne next spring and will decide
between the California city and Rome,
which ha7 been making a strong bid
for the games.
Los Angeles seems to be the ia
vorite. The Swedes, Films, English
and Free oh, disguised with the man.
ner in which the games were con-
Quoted IN Antwerp, have demanded
that the games be given to America,
not Only because they believe an
American city can handle them best
but because they are anxious to get
the "jo, ride trip" to the Pacific
Coast.
Held in America, the next games
would not present as many profile a.
for the, Americans that would be
faced by the necessity of another long
trip to foreign country. The
weather conditions in California
would be ideal for the Americans, the
short trip wiuld insure the good con-
di+ion g.. the men and more talent
could be made available for final Sc
lection.
If the powers directing amateur
athletics in the United States can
interest Young athletes more in the
mile, two mile and the longer events
and she ter the idea that sprinter
is the greatest hero on the track
much will be done to make a 1924
team better balanced than the one
which Carried the shield this year.
With such high class coaches in
charge Of the track squads at all the
big unvel sites the outlook is much
brighter as American teams Of the
future VII become more and more
distinct Ve collegiate outfits.
America has the talent, has the
best sys -em of athletics in the world,

tie NOR. attention on the part of the
officials in charge of the governing
bodies of athletics, there is no need

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-"America is
through The athletic crown worn so
long by rhe United States is destined
for anot'er head N the Olympic
games )F 1924"
This boast was made IN Antwerp
by the FINS and the Swedes follow
ing the late Olympic contest in which
America. were overwhelmingly vic
toriouS.
The failure of the Americans to
"clean w" in the track events above
the spirits led the foreign experts
to draw he conclusion that the new
generat;, of Yankee athletes lacks
endurar; and stamina.
1t is matter of record that the
Americans did fail tc take any of the
distance events with the exception of
the 300J-metre team race, won On
the last day of the games.
But the conclusion of the European
critics that the poor showing was the
result O.: decline in the physical
powers of the new school of American
athletes g wrong.
The American distance runners did
not sweep the track as did the sprint
ers, because they had no opportunity
to train The time they hadahicsHy
to train. The time was so short be-
fore the opening of the games, the
conditions so disagreeable on their
trip to Antwerp and the weather so
abominahle that they, were the vic
TINS OF unavoidable circumstance.
The Swedes and the Firms, whose
power Was noted in the long distance
runs, he'd the advantage of two weeks
in Antwerp previous to the opening
of the Q ines during which they were
able to Use the stadium track daily
and get acclimated to the peculiar
weather conditions.
1t is a fact that America had
harder me to win the 1920 games
than size ever had before and it is
a foregCre conclusion that she will
have much sitter opposition in 1924.
Seizin5 upon the showing made by
the Ame,ic lean distance men, the for
eign ma. ons, especially, Sweden, Fin
land anG England are going to set
out to develop new talent in the field
and trac: events in which the Amer
leans were able to make the cleanup
that gave them victory.
Americas task before the next
games Will be to develop new school
of distance runners and to find young
sters to take the place of Pat Nc
Donald, Paddy Ryan, Matt McGrath,
Dan All arm, Mike Devannel, Ted
Meredith and some others of the old
school who showed in the last games
that thew are through.
England strong in the running
events, will turn her attention to the
development of hurdlers and field
stars. The Swedes feel the neces-
sity of ceveloing a bunch of good

Admiral w. S. Benson, chairman
of the Shipping Board, announced
today that he and his colleagues are
determined to build up an American
merchant marine as contemplated by
the Jones shipping law in spite Of
threats and propaganda by foreign
interests to defeat the law.
He told the representatives Of Pa
cifc Coast Chambers of Commerce
and trade bodies and American rail-
roads that the threat of foreign car
riers to divert business from Ameri-
can ports on the Pacific Coast futile
and idle"
"If such a threat Is sincere and the
attempt 10 made to so divert the busi-
ness" he continued. "the Shipping
Board would allocate American ships
to move the business. The Shipping
Board and the Interstate Commerce
Commission would follow this action
by other steps which would further
protect the interests of the United
States against such foreign efforts to
defeat the purposes Of the Merchant
Marine Act"

Admiral Benson.
"This section OF the law permits a
preferential rate over carriers within
the United States on merchandise
moving in export and import in YES
sells Of the United States, and provides
that whenever the Shipping Board is
OF the opinion that adequate shipping
facilitiesr are not afforded by Ameri-
can documented vessels, the section
may be suspended, in which case such
preferential rate may also apply in
connection with foreign carriers.
TO PROTECT U. 9. INTERESTS.
"As section 2S is to be used only
where there is ample American ton
mage to handle the export and import
commerce to any particular port in
a foreign country, or a possession OF
the United States, we cannot conceive
how anyone who has studied this law
can assume that the Shipping Board
would make any general application
OF this section. There will certainly
be no enforcement of the provision
without concurrent action which will
fully protect all American interests"
