over IA meters. Even better results
are expected Of him before he de-
parts for Antwerp. '.~~ =
In Retelas Greece has one Of the
most promising long distance runners
she has ever had, although he is
quite new to the game. He has set
up a new record, each week, for
weeks. He is now making the 5000
meters in well under 16 minutes.
Nikolaides is the man on whom
Greece bases much hope to. carry Oh
the Decathlon honors at Antwerp: He
has had the advantage Of American
training before, while at Roberts col
lege at Constantinople, and that COM
bined with the intensive coaching he
has received during the past few
weeks, has rounded him into form,
which compares favorably with the
best one finds in the United States.
If he continues to keep his form, and
to better it, as he undoubtedly will,
he should be q strong contender for
the decathlon championship. He can
make AZ feet in the shot; 100 feet
in the discus, 5 feet 10 in the high
Jump; 21 feet in the running broad
jump, IL feet in the pole vault; and
shows corresponding excellence in the
other events.
There are a number Of other men
who will make a remarkable show
ing at Antwerp, including the
wrestler, D. Vergos; the weight litter,
S. Menexis; the marathon runner
Trivoulidas, the pentathlon and high
jump man, Andromidas, and others.
The last two men are in the United
States, but will meet the team al
Antwerp.

(By Antonios Papayannakis, Unit

Athens, July IL (by- MaiD RE-
markable testimony Of the value Of
the American style Of athletic train
ing, is found in the comparison Of
the records Of Greece's Olympic tai
emit first at the Pan-Hellenic games
Of May s, when almost no systematic
training had been followed, and the
trials Of July 4, after two months
under American coaches. -. 49,
( In the affair Of last week, the
records Of which have just been made
public, every mark set in the Pan
Hellenic games was broken with the
single exception Of the 800-metre run,
and that record was equalled.
Beyond all question the marked i'm
provement in the showing the athletes
who will represent Greece at Ant
werp made, is due jointly to P. E..
Marriott, the national director Of ath-
letics at the American Y, M. c. A.
here, and J. v. Lamberton, assistant
national director.
Marriott was named head coach
shortly after the May 6 games, while
Lamberton came here from Italy to
assist. Both are Americans. Prac-
tically all of the Olympic contenders
were men unknown beyond their own
villages when the Pan-Hellenic games
were staged. Under the tutelage of
Marriott and Lamberton, however,
raw material has in many cases won
permanent places on the teams over
well-known and experienced athletes.
The result of the recent trials has
had a tendency to instill renewed
hope and courage into the hearts of
Greeks sportsmen, who at first had
almost given up in despair, believ-
ing Greece's showing in the Olympic
games-so dear to the hearts of
Greeks because it was here that the
world contests originated would not
warrant the expense Of sending a
team. Now, however, thousands of
lovers of outdoor sports throng the
stadium whenever there is an exhibi-
ton or tryout. It is said hundreds
of spectators will accompany the team
to Belgium.
+ Among some Of the men who quail
fled for the Olympic team, are Kara
bats, the short distance runner;
Ponireas, the little hop, step and jump
man; Retelas, a new long distance
man, and Nickolaides, the strongest
all-round athlete Greece has had in
many years, who will compete in the
decathlon.
Karabatis promises to be one of the
coming young athletes in Europe.

veloped from an unweidly and over
grown youngster into a 1.-THE and fast

SURVEY BOARD
ON JOHN ADAMS
ARRIVAL OF SHIPPING BOARD
OFFICIAL EXPECTED HERE TO-
DAY TO DETERMINE AMOUNT
OF DAMAGE.

Survey of the John Adams and an
estimate of the damage suffered
when she went through the G., f. &
A. wharf during the gale Saturday
night will probably be made today.
The survey was postponed from yes
terday to await the arrival of one
of the officials of the shipping board,
who Is expected here this morning
from Mobile
Until the survey has been made no
official statements as to which is
the responsible party in the accident
Will be made nor what official ac-
ton will be taken in settlement of
the damages. The surveying board
will be taken in settlement of the
damages. The surveying board will
also determine whether or not the big
steamer will go on dry dock.
The vessel was easily floated yes
terday morning, from the rock pile
near Baylen wharf, on which she stuck
following her wild ride Saturday
night. Tugs Buttercup and Hubert, of
the shipping board, and local tugs
lowed the ship out to deep water and
the John Adams seemed little the
worse for the experience with the ex-
cept1on of damage to her wheel. All
blades to the propeller We're lost.
The ship came into this port from
New Orleans to take on coal cargo
for Italy and attempting to dock late
Saturday night broke out of control
OF the tug and careened through the
end of the Co.. F. & A. pier, sinking
y cars of coal and lumber and tear
ing up about 500 feet of three tracked
pier. In going through the pier. her
propeller hung in some of the pill
ing. and was wrecked, leaving the
big $500. ton ship to the mercy of
the seas and wind. She finally struck
on a rock pile at the foot of Baylen
wharf, where she rode until yesterday
morning.
