OLYMPIC HOPES DROP

NEW YORK. Jan. Fits been "
bally bad athletic year for the Engiish-
Last on the list of sidetracEed hopes
is the decisive defeat the British tennis
team suffered in the challenge games
with the Australians for the Davis cup.
Messrs. Patterson Brookes and com
pany won four out of five net matches,
and 1t is said that the Australians sent
the youthful Anderson against Kings
cote in the second match for the eX-
pressed purpose of giving the English
good chance to go back home with
their heads at q slight angle upward
GYPSY JOE FALLS
BY THE WAXSIDE.
Joe Beckett, tie bulky gypsy heavy
weight started the beartaches. He was
groomed as the hope of the nation to
jar the heavyweight crown off the head
of Jack Dempsey and bring it back to
England after its long vacation from the
island. The balloon on which they tied
their hopes was punctured and huttered
to the ground when Georges Carpenter
ruined Beckett and all English chances
in the first round.
Then there Is the ease of Jimmy Wide,
the ayweight champion. He invaded
America aud in a few short weeks
dropped from streamer headlines on the
sport pages to buried propaganda. Jack
Sharkey, rated as knowing very little
about fstic affairs, outpotnted Wilde IN
his first fight here. Then Babe Asher
weathered the little British cyclone IL
st. Louis and Jimmy has almost dropped
out of sight. Of course, the English
press walled loudly OF a raw deal and
cheap methods of avenging Joe Lynch
and Pal Moore The sport writer's even
went so far to press their point of IN
feriority of Americans in the ring that
they declared Ted Lewis and Pal Moore
to be losers in recent bouts in London,
although both of the boys won by knock
outs.
ALMOST ABANDON
ATHLETIC HOPE.
With such a run of luck It's no Won
der the Britishers are not jubiating over
the Olympic games and the invasion or
Yankee athletes this coming summer.
Memory of lost prestige at the Stock
holm games still fingers and the English
have almost abandoned hope Of regain
ing lost laurels at Antwerp.
Charles r. Cochrane, London fight pro-
moter. now in New York, was one of
three authorities quoted recently In Lon
don as believing that England has a
poor chance to wrest the athletic suprem
acy of the world from America. The
proposed dual meet between Yale
Princeton and Cambridge Oxford track
team: the invasion of the American ten
mis- and golf stars and even the proposed
challenge for the international polo cup
in 1921 has caused the British author
tiles to sound an urgent call for new
system of training and new method of
organization.

In spite Of the troubles which surround them the
German people are conducting an investigation Of
the conduct Of the war which in the end may take a
little OF their admiration for the military mind
away from them. One OF the latest Developments Of
this investigation is report on the failure OF the
German government to take advantage OF President
Wilson's peace offer of 1915. and it shows that the
mtarists who we're in full control at the time were
pretty stupid. II the German people ever set that
thought fully it may cure them. Their general
staff and their military men as whole were stupid
and worse. 1t takes brains TO win wars but for Iory
years the German nation were taught to believe
that might is the force that turns this trick This
belief is what makes them such menace to the
peace OF the world Unless they can be made TO see
the matter in its true light they will run aMuck
agan as soon as they feel that they are strong
enough. Bat maybe if they continue TO inquire
caRltdly into the way their superlnan general staff
functoned when it was put to lie supreme test they
will begin to have doubts
