On Baron de Coubertin's initiative
representatives of the athletic organ
ixations of various nations assembled
in Paris on July 16, 1894. and drafted
the original constitution of the inter-
national Olympic committee and sub
seQuently formed the international
body. This committee was intrusted
with the task OF arranging Olympic
games at regular intervals and at va

head of the international Olympic

Classic soil was chosen as the scene

of the athletes of the modern world.
Four years later the scene shifted to

was postponed when the modern
world was engaged in the most bitter
war OF Its existence. but the games
clouds had cleared. and Antwerp
staged the most representative meet
In 1906 there arose in Greece a
wish to have permanent nome Tor
the games in the country of their
origin. As q result a meet was held
In Athens two years after the st.
Louis games. This was to be con-
tinued every four years between the
official International games, but the
international committee ruled that
the games should be held only every
four years at different places in the
Civilized world and the Athenians
abandoned their plans after the 1905
meet.
Up until the Stockholm meet in
1912 the games had been predom-
mated by American athletes, the
color-bearers OF Uncle Sam taking q
far more prominent part than athletes
from any other nation. In 1912 the
games assumed their first real In
ternatiohal aspect, when virtually

BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, July 5.-Holland may de-
eide. to forego the opportunity Of
staging the 1928 Olympic games. and
the ninth modern revival of the
games may be held in the United
States.
1t is reported in Olympic circles
that Holland, sensing the magnitude
OF the preparations necessary to run
on the Olympic events, would not be
averse to giving up her turn, In
which event the games would auto
matically go to Los Angeles. 1t is
understood the question will be
brought UP at q meeting of the ia
transitional Olympic committee, to be
held Immediately after the competi-
tion in athletics.
Baron Pierre de Coubertin, presi-I
dent Of the committee, has, not vet
been ofiieially notified OF Hollands
Intentions, but should a request to
be relieved of responsibility come
from her, the head of the interna-
tional olympic organization says the
United States will be the logical
successor.
