power enough to demand respect at

united in opinion in regard to foreign

Committee Members
Heckled by Athletes
At Protest Meeting

ANTWERP, Aug. 10 (By The Associ-
ated Press) 1.-The meeting here to-
night of the American Olympic Com
mittee and the United States com
petitors was characterized by consid-
cradle feeling on the part of the ath-
letes, during which there were cat
calls and hecKling of Gustavus P. Kirby,
president of the American Olympic
Committee, and Judge Barlow s. Weeks,
of the committee, who addressed the
men. Also there was considerable
wrangling among the athletes them
selves, mixed with demands for silence
from the more moderate of them as
heckling interrogations were flung al
the speakers.
After Kirby had outlined the action
Of Dan Ahearn, the hop. step and
jump champion, which resulted in his
being dropped from the team, Judge
Weeks spoke of Ahearns alleged de-
faint attitude. Judge Weeks pleaded
the need of team work and discipline
among the athletes and ended his re-
marks with the question::
What position would you be in if
the committee refused to continue its
60 aheadl We will get a better
committed" and other similar remarks
were shouted at Judge Weeks. The
outburst of the athletes seemingly left
the committee stunned.

after twenty years delay. Those who
followed and watched saw one Of the
great tragedies of sport, the great mas
ter fighting for his final title, holding
it for one brief moment and then coll
lapsing on the edge of victory where
just one we'll played shot would have
carried him safely through. SO Vardon
passed out at the moment when it
looked as if he would break 70 and

Nardon's collapse left the battle
among Ray, Diegel and Hutchinson, with
Hagen and Barnes too far behind to
make a fight. Jack Burke, OF st. Paul,
unknown to the crowd, had turned in
two fine 72s, which left him tied with
Nardon at 296.

Twelfth, and when ne needed a at the
fifteenth and seventeenth holes by fail
ing to atchh the green with his irons

The last nine holes for this pair
were heart-breakers. Both had four
foot puts to hole 3 at the tenth,
and both missed by hair. Diegel
started home with two As. At the
long twelfth he had an eight-foot putt
to beat par, but barely missed; but

Johnston's win over Davis was ex-
pected by all those who are familiar
with the two styles of play, and even
after Davis ran into lead of 80 and
Al on games in the opening set, John
ston always looked like the eventual
winner. He was netting the ball, quite
frequently all through the match. As a
matter of fact, the champions total of
errors was so to Davis's rs and only
seven points separated them at the end
OF the three sets.
Roughly speaking, it was Johnston's
great strength in his ground strokes
that gave him the victory. Davis had
the advantage in service and his volley-
ing was very fine, but the champion s
splendid forcing shots kept his oppo-
nent away from the net position more
often than not.

based on the charge of insubordina-
ton, the committee reporting that he
twice refused to obey orders regard
in retiring hours. Ahearn said he was
unable to sleep in the noisy school
house, where the athletes are quar-
tered. 1t is understood that he will
be returned to America on the first
avilable transport.
The decision of the committee to
deal drastically with Ahearn had q pro-
found effect upon the American
athletes who are already at odds
with the committee and on the verge of
mutiny. Though there is little evil
dence that the team has caught the
European strike fever, it is certain
that they intend to fight the A. A. U.
when they return to the United
States.
Schneider was barred because the
committee obtained evidence that he
had boxed professionals, while it was
stated that Grant had boxed for a
purse.
Team Lacks Training
The whole American team is in good
condition, but appears to be short of
training. The athletes are bit dis
appointed with the track in the
stadium here. 1t is not near as fast
as it should be. Despite this, the
coaches have expressed satisfaction
over the trials in which the men have
participated.
The formal opening of the stadium
promises to be the biggest day since
King Albert entered Belgium after
the defeat of the Germans. The en-
tire city is in gala attire and the
stadium is a mass Of color.
The American team to-day re-
hearsed for the procession and' is
bound to create a fine impression be-
cause there are so many on the team
almost 300-and also because Of the
natty uniforms, caps and shoes, which
the members will wear.
