America will be represented except

already won, on points, the ice events
which opened the Olympic program,
Swedish athletes who We're here for
the hockey and skating contests have
returned to Stockholm full Of enthu-
siasm. The Swedes will send a
strong team here for the shooting
events July 24-S1. and thereafter, ac-
cording to present plans, will send
other representatives to compete In
bicycling, athletics, tennis, wrestling,
fencing, swimming, gymnastics.
weight lifting, rowing. association
football and equestrian games.
Preliminary training for the Swe-
dish team has begun. These ath-
lctes will come to Antwerp probably
aboard a chartered ship, arriving only
two or three days before the begin
ming of the games. thus avoiding, so
far as possible. the necessity of train
ing in Antwerp's rather humid eli
mate.
I'VE count on a clean sweep in

bicycling and shooting, and We will
be very strong in all the running
races up to the half-mile, in the
weights and in the jumps" one Swa-

was held out for my recovery. After
five weeks of careful nursing I was
able to get up but was left In about
as weak and rundown a conditions
as a person ever gets in. T could
hardly walk and when I was able to
get around at all had to be mighty
careful or I would fall. My stomach
was left badly upset and it seemed
that everything ate hurt me. Gas
would form on my stomach and press
against my heart so bad I was afraid
to lie down and many times stayed
awake all night long for fear I would
smother to death. Both my legs
ached terribly and I could hardly get
up or down without assistance. Ny
knees and ankles also hurt awfully
and my feet became so swollen had

was almost helpless and thought my
age was against me and that could
never be any better.

I've taken five bottles am enjoying

just fine and I can eat whatever I
please without the slightest trouble.
My breathing is free and easy and I
sleep all night long as sound as a
child. The pains have all gone from
my legs and ankles and the swelling
has left my feet so that can now
wear my shoes without the least dis
comfort. I feel stronger and better
in every way and am as active as I
was years ago. I wish everybody
knew as much about Tanlac as do

Good Managers Make
Stars of Bushers

Wilbert Robinson, OF the Dodgers,
is a firm believer in the stunt of CIV
ing q recruit just as much time ana
advice as one can give, if they look
promising. He tried the stunt with
Bernie Neis, Sensational outfielder
and as a result he has a classy young
ball player who might otherwise be
doing duty in the sticks.
Robinson fused with Neis. The
lad did not look so good when he
Joined the Dodgers, and his first days
in training camp failed to impress
any of the other members Of the
team. But Uncle Wilbert" thought
he could see something in the boys
work and Immediately he took him
in hand.
The first thing he did was to teach
Neis how to hit from both sides Of
the plate The boy was glad to
get the information and he did
everything in his power to do just
as he was told. When Robinson was
giving him his instructions on how
to bat it was declared to be a waste
of time, but Robinson persisted.
Major league ball players, as a
rule, do not think much of the prac-
tice of some managers changing Il
youngsters style of batting, because
they maintain any change robs him
of his natural inclination and there
fore is apt to work injury in his
future success. But even the wise
heads do not know. Robinson saw
the result of training along this line
directed on Walter Holke, now Of the
Braves, by John McGraw. and Holke
is a dependable and a dangerous
sticker at any time.
1t was Mike Donlin who changed
Holkes style of batting, but it was
John iMcGraw who gave the lad his
post graduate course and got him
to give up his menacing crouch while
at the plate. McGraw made this
of information that Holke had
pounded his way to fame in the
smaller leagues.
