ATHLETES TO WIN
America Selected as Favorite in
Olympic Games by Foreign
Sports Authorities

Paris, Aug. 10.-An American vic
tory at the Olympic games in Ant
rwerp this year is predicted by Partisan
sporting circles.
This opinion is based on American
victories in the past. as well as on the
excellence of the American training
SYSTEM.
SO convinced are the French of the
superiority of American methods. they
have called upon Schroeder and Ma :
honey. former Harvard University
coaches, to train the French athletes
who are going to try to place the coOrs
of France among the Olympic winners.
Here are few opinions of leading
French sportSmen in regard to the
chances of the American athletes:
Joseph Genet, director of the French
Athletic Union. who is organizing the
French participants in the Olympic
games:
''If the American competitors are as
carefully picked this year as they were
in the past they certainly will be the
victors at the Olympic games.
1T must be remembered, however.
that during the last few years great
progress has been made by Finnish.
Swedish. Norwegian athletes. and
Americans therefore expect more compe- =
titiOn this year than before.
"America will undoubtedly win all
the short races and the competitions in
volving individual skill. such as discus
throwing, pole vaulting. etc, but in the
long races they may be surprised by the
English. Swedes and French.
"Although we in France have made
every effort to have a good showing at
Antwerp. we all are expecting an Amer
lean victory, and owing to the oppor-
tunity France had during the war to
appreciate Americas sound prepara-
tion, we will welcome such n victory to
spur us on to greater achievement.

Other entries from various parts of the
East are also expected.
Commodore A. B. CARTRIDGE. of the
Keystone Yacht Club and president of
the Delaware River Yacht Racing AS
sociation, will formally call the fleet
together tonight at the Anchor Club.
He is heading the fleet with his flag
ship Marguerhca Considerable work
has been done recently in tuning up
the new power plant which has just
been installed in this craft. and Com =
modore CARTRIDGE goes to New York
with intentions of making IL good show
ing in the race.
All eyes will naturally be pinned on
the Pickaninny. the little black cruiser
owned by Bell and Taylor of the Cam =
den MotorbOat Club. This craft, has
performed remarkably in handicap races
in this vicinity, and her showing against
the Gotham craft is being closely
watched.

expected to race.
The itinerary for the cruise as just
announced keeps the total mileage of

far as West Point plays big part in
the latter part of the cruise. The fleet
is not to return until August Do.
