 But those who saw him run at Antwerp and at Boston say his stride has changed for the better, the jack. rabbit like jumps having given way to a smooth negotiation of the bar riers, With speed on the flat like q sprinter. As Christiernsson is sf working to improve his performances by using the smoother American style in preference to the climbing man her of hurdling used in Europe, and as ihe is capable of increasing his speed over the longer distances be- cause of his rangy build, those who have secn him in action predict he will equal more of Thomson's rec ords, and possibly i'll season or two surpass them.
 Like Thomson, however, Chris tiernsson will add no strength to Ameriea's team in the Olympics. At Antwerp Thomson, q native of Can ada. represented the Dominion. and It Paris next year, if Christiernsson conpetes at all 1t must be for his native country. Sweden. So that the hurdling skill which he is acquiring hero may be turned against the coun- try under whose coaching he may reaea greatness.
