It is the thought that Lawson
Robertson has a superior squad of
sprinting talent to pick from that
makes track authorities in this
country feel they are going to win
this year.
The Olympic record for the 1900
meters was made by Charley Reid.
path, Meredith, Lindberg and Haff
at Stockholm twelve years ago. The
afternoon that these sterling per.
formers hung up minutes, 16 3-5
seconds for the distance this coun.
try was supreme on the cinder
path. It was because of the past
performances Of our sprinters that
our lads were made post favorites
for the honors at Antwerp.
When Charley Reidpeth and
his American brothers set their
record of 3 minutes 16 3-5 seconds
for the 1000 meters, each man
was timed in approximately 40
seconds. To be exact, IL is cal
culated that each did q yard
less 400 meters for their 40
seconds. That would mean that
unless we have q quartette of
quarter miIerS that can do 40 or
less for the distance, we are
not likely to win the event or
break the record that has stood
the test for twelve years.
Cord Taylor, formerly of Prince
ton and now of the New York A. c.,
is capable Of doing trifle better
than 40 for the 400 meters. The
record-breaking feat he accom-
complished up in the Cambridge
stadium before sailing for the
Olympic games is evidence that he
is in tiptop form at present. For
that reason it is only necessary for
him to run back to any of his best
races to better the time made by
Charley Reidpath and his mates.
H. M. Fitch, Of Chicago; Charley
Brookins, Of Iowa; Ray Robertson,
Of Boston A. A.: Earl Wilson, Of
Iowa State University; Allen Hell
frich, Of Penn State; Jimmy Bur-
CESS, of Georgetown: Bayes Norton,
Of Yale, and j. o. Mcdonald, of
Pennsylvania, are others that are
all good for 40 seconds in tho 400
meters.
Each has run close to this marx
a sufficient number of times to
make Robertson feel certain that
when the time comes they win i'm.
prove upon their best race.
The spirit of the Olympic team
this year is far superior to that
Of any preceding squad. Robertson
has instilled the right sort of fight.
ing spirit into his men. He Is the
kind Of coach that gets close to his
charges. If an athlete would not
fight for Robby he would not be
human.

LUIS VINcENTINI OPENS
SCRAPS OVER DECISION

NEW YORK. June 81. - Every
time Luis Vicentini has a fight he
starts fight over the decision. The
Chilean is matched with Rocky
Kansas at the Greensboro Stadium,
and II things run true, to form
there win be a disagreement over
the verdict, no matter who is de-
clared the winner.
Johnny Shugrue received the
award over Vicsntini last winter in
the Garden. Many critics thought
this was all wrong. Later Luis was
handed the decision over Pal Moran,
stirring UP more trouble, some of
the same critics who thought Vicen.
tint defeated Shugrue contending
that Moran walloped the Chilean.
In his last start Vicentini lost a
close verdict to Johnny Dundee, and
once again there was a wide dis
agreement in the press.

PERFORMANCE
Of BROOKES
By MILE. SUZANNE LENGLEN.
French Woman Tennis Champion.
(NnNUnfOht T.An-~nA,AnnI

News Service.)
LONDON. June 27.-One thing
that has pleased me most in the
Wimbledon tennis tournament was
the finesse of Norman E. Brookes,
the Australian veteran, when he de-
feated d. Rutnam, on Wednesday.
And then the Australian repeated so
handily yesterday, beating Francis
T. Hunter, the American-''Hurri.
cane Hunter"
The craft Of that dour lefthander
in the cloth cap Is wonderful. He
gives a slow motion picture in
comparison with the modern school
Of tennis hard hitters.
After seeing him defeat Rutnam,
I looked forward to Brookes' match
against Hunter.
At one time on Wednesday we be-
gan to think there would be a
surprise when my countryman, p.
Ferret, was playing against r. Nor.
ris Williams, III. Ferret was cease
lessly on the defensive. He had to
be careful--the poor boy-and SO
calm to make a winning stroke
when he could or wait for errors
which even the brilliant are prone
to make. Ferret did so well we
never knew what might happen.

land, was in her best form, de.
feating Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Nal.

such a score as 6-1, 60 except by
some one playing very we'll, indeed.
From the very first stroke Miss
McKane showed her mastery over
her opponent. She did not give
Mrs. Mallory a chance to settle
down.
Miss Helen willis, of California,
played steadily against Miss p. H.
Dransfield with the loss Of only
two games, winning the match.
Her form had improved over that
Of q week ago.
A match between Miss Willis and
Miss Evelyn Collyer Is now on the
cards. If 1t takes place, It should
be an interesting one.
The chief surprise in the play
Wednesday was the defeat of Mrs.
Beamish by Miss Collyer, who has
improved her ground strokes and
who is now playing a much stronger
game than formerly

The Boston southpaw Nellie has ef-
