OLYMPIC CHOICES
PLEASE COUNTRY
Committee Selection Makes
Team Strongest That Ever
Represented U. S.

BOSTON, July 19.-One casual look
al the list OF athletes who will repre-
sent the United States in the opening
Olympic games Is enough to assure
another triumph for the Stars and
Stripes in field and track perform
ances.
The process OF selecting the ath-
letes leaves no doubt but that the
best men have been chosen. Through
out the country during the past two
months sectional meets have been
held. Later larger meets have been
conducted.
In five different places in the
United States and in as many sections
Olympic meets have been held. Satur-
day the various winners were put to
II in the stadium at Cambridge.
Twenty thousand saw them struggle.
Today the list of selected athletes
Is given out by the Olympic commit
tee. There is no doubt but that the
best men have been chosen. There
Is now no doubt that with few ex-
ceptions triumphs will be scored In
practically every event.
The nineteen competing nations
can find nothing to equal or surpass
the United States stars. Here and
there an athlete like Rudd, the Ok
Earl Thompson. the Canadian. will
probably figure in the hurdles abroad.
But aside from the scattered promi-
nent athletes OF other nations, the
United States runners. jumpers, vault
ers, and weight throwers will reign
| supreme.
In the list given out by the Olympic
committee there are four worlds
record holders. two winners of first
place positions in the 1912 Olympiad,
three American national champion
ship record holders, and other sec
tional champions.
That the 1920 Olympic team is the
best balanced all-around squad that
has ever represented this country
goes almost without a challenge. Six
men will be sent with four to enter
in each event. The athletes have been
given to understand that all six
nominations will be taken across IL
there are sufficient funds.

frankie Mann. manager OF the little
slugger. describes the confidence OF
his battler. Patsy Is in shape and

From Baltimore comes word that
Little Jef, who has been working
steadily against all comers, i5 also
in condition to appear at his best.
His manager, the veteran sammy
Harris, is expected to guard care
fully Little Jeffs hands. This means
that the coming Donovan-Littie JEFF
contest should be a whirlwind, for
both boys pack terrific kicks and
know something about protecting
themselves.
Many Washington ring fans, who
have seen Little JEFF boxing in Balti-
more during the past winter, feel
that he will take Donovan's measure.
and inside the ten-round limit. 1t Is
possible that some fat bets Will be
put up on this bout before the boys
step upon the scales at Ardmore
week from tomorrow.
Each boxer, through his manager,
has posted a forfeit of 500 for ap-
pearance and weight. They are to
make 10 pounds ringside.

inf1elder of the Bridgeport club of the
Eastern League, who was purchased
by the Giants last week, will be un-
able to report to the Giants in shape

With Lefty" Fisher going along at
top speed for the greater part Of the
battle, there wasn't much to it after
the f,rst two innings. Fisher lapsed
in two innings enough to let the
home club players take four runs.
Otherwise he was all to the good.
What won for the Knicks was their
ability to slam Quayle As well as
Singleton, the Marines hurler. The
Knicks got thirteen hits. of which the
redoubtable "Toots" Wise got four,
Gerard and Wise got doubles, and
Jenkins got a triple.
After scoring one in the opener,
four in the second. and two in the
nth, the Knicks got real active ana
shot Ave across in the sixth. The
score was then IL to o. one run was
added in the eighth.
Fishers wildness in the sixth &C.
counted for three runs for the Knicks,
and while another count was added
in the ninth the Dreadnaughts failed
to connect successfully with the
Georgetown club man.
The teams have arranged for re-
turn game here on August Is. and In
the event that a third game Is neces-
sary will probably play on neutral
grounds. 1t is estimated that more
than 5000 fans saw the contest which
broke records for Alexandria attend
ance at a sandlot game.
Five teams will compete in the De-
partment Interbureau League from
now on. Each team will play ten
games following meeting at which

Today PrexY Griffith is taking
peek at Clifford, the big right-handed
finger Arthur Irwin is trying to sell
him. Clifford. who is some twenty
seven years old and possessed or some
minor league experience in the South
before entering the army, Is said TO
know how to get the ball over with
something on 1t. If he shapes up sat
isfactorily, he will probably be sent
right back to Washington and take
part in one of the ST. Louis games
here.
Acosta, the Cuban pitcher Irwin
wants to sell, has had considerable
bush league experience. Griffith Is
not so strong for him, but will give
him the once-over and, IL he looks
valuable enough to have on the ros-
ter, will send him along with Clifford.
HE MAY TRAVEL FAR.
There is no telling when Griffith
will rejoin his ball club. He is con-
WINGED now that only heroic measures
will keep the Washington team from
f1oundering down around the bottom.

Unless his plans miscarry, Prexy
Griffith may remain away from his

troit. He will look over number or
infielders tipped off to him. He Is
looking especially for a shortstop and
a third baseman, but he will not over
look any pitchers while sojourning in
the tall grass sections of our fair
land.
The Tigers have two more games
