 LONDON. June 21.-British experts expect Finland to be the strongest com petitor of the United States in the track events at the Paris Olympic games.
 Paavo Nurmi and Willie Ritola are expected to do the most damage, but there are others who, while they shine less brightly, are believed by British athletic experts to be among the best who will compete in the games.
 Incidentally. they concede the pole vault to Hoff of Denmark, the present record holder.
 Finland Stronger
 Finland, stronger than ever before in track events, is not expected to do we'll in the field. and the British experts be- lieve the United States will account for the events formerly won by the Films.
 At Antwerp in 1920 the first four Finnish javelin throwers all exceeded 204 feet. while the worlds record holder, Johnnie Myrra, did more than 215 feet.
 At the Finish Olympic trials this year, '. Ekqvist won at 192 feet, 4-5 inches, with Myrra second, 190 feet. 4 4-5 inches, and Saristo, who won at Stockholm, and was the first man ever to do over POO feet, could only throw 1S3 feet to win fourth place. The British recall that several Americans can do more than POO feet.
 No Pole Vsu1ters
 The Films are regarded as being without pole vaulters and broad jumpers.
 As to Finland's strong points, Brit ish experts believe her team will be almost unbeata table at the long distance track events and in the cross-country and 3.000-metre team races.
 In the Marathon trial Kryonen and Stenroos both finished inside ? hours and 40 minutes-Kryonen's time being ? hours, 3S minutes-while the first seven were close enough to be dan gerous.
 Clarence De Mar, U. s. A, recently returned ? hours, 29 minutes, 40 1-5 seconds, for a new worlds record over the full Marathon course of 26 miles 3S5 yards. De Mar and Stenroos each are 36 years of age, and Kryonen is 32 In the British Marathon trials D. Me. Leod Wright won the southern in hours, B minutes, 17 seconds, and. E. E Leatherland the northern in 2 hours, 4e minutes, 43 2-5 seconds.
 Nurmi Star
 Nurmi goes into the team for the 5000 metres and cross-country team events and will divide the other events with Ritola.
 Nurmi's mile in minutes, 10 2-t seconds, and Ritola's 10000 metres ir 30 minutes, 35 4-5 seconds, are con sidered here to be two of the greatest worlds records ever established. Or May 25 Ritola made his record under the most adverse conditions-a down pour of cold rain waterlogged tht

is also doing some good work for the Bees, halving the catching duties and pinch hitting frequently.
 Out in the Western league. Karl Lautenschlasax Black is going at the clip which made him so feared last year. The former Baron southpaw was gen erally admitted to be the best finger in the loop in '23; and this time he is doing his bit towards pulling Tulsa through to a flag.
 Another old-timer. forgotten save by few of the ancients. is Tommy Long, slugging outfielder. Long ranked with Pete Kniseley and Buttermilk Meeks in the old days as one of the hardest long range hitters ever to play m Birming ham. He is doing nicely this year, after several disappointing seasons, with Albany in the eastern loop.
 No Baronials are listed in the Three Eye league, but VerdO Fillmore, big Gordo and University of Alabama star gardner. who is now the property of the St. Louis Browns, broke in the other day for Danville. He connected for d single. double and two triples in his first three games. Tom Gulley, Missis- sippi college outfielder, now belonging to Cleveland, is also shining in this league, playing with Decatur.
 South Atlantic teams this year are struggling to head off Ty Cobb's Augustans in much the same manner Southern leaguers are chasing Mem. phis. and no small part of their suc- cess has been the work of Paul Pee wee" Wanninger at short. "Peewee" isn't hitting n great deal, but his sensa- tiOnal fielding, base running and work as lead-off man make him one of the most valuable all-around performers in the league.
 Paul Nichols, who used to belong to the Barons, and old Bob Fulton, late of Mobile, are big cogs in the twirling staff. Nichols won one and Fulton two games only last week. Mark Hum phreys, Oglethorpe collegian, who is well known in Birmingham, has broken in strongly with Spartanburg. He is Memphis farmland. Little old Tom Gallagher is struggling along with the Macon cellarities. Tom has pitched good ball this season, but he hasn't had any help.

ternational athletic matters as Rob- ertson. In the last Olympiad at Stockholm he was one of the chief members on the coaching staff.
 Ever since Paavo Nurmi of Fin land broke the worlds record for the mile run, all I have been hearing when the Olympics were referred to was, Finland, Finland, Finland.
 All l can say now is that our long distancers will have great deal to say before the distance affairs are set tied over there. To begin with, have all the confidence in the world in Joie Ray, in Lloyd Hahn, in Ray Buker: in Verne Booth and in this new chap, Johnny Gray. All of them showed enough at the Harvard stadium Friday and Saturday to as- sure some fone running"
 But lest it be. thought that the colches might be 1 bit prejudiced, it must be said that this same spirit of hopefulness and confidence prevails among all other followers of the an- cient game. On all sides the word now is: America stronger than ever" .
 The east leads all other sections of the country in point of Olympic can didates. Of the 104 track and field men selected, fifty-two belong to this part of the country; the middle west is second with 35; the Pacific coast. is third with 15, and the south has two.
 New York leads all other cities. It is we'll represented in nearly every sport, but more especially in the sprints and runs. Frank Hussey. Jackson Scholz and Al Leconey quail fled for the dashes; J. Coard Taylor and Allen Helffrich, both of the New York A. C., qualified for the 400 me- tres; August Eager and Sid Leslie will run in the 10000
 Like Scholz, Sid Leslie is another example of well-direeted perseverance. Sid was Aabout to give up athletics two years ago when he suddenly got the Olympic bug. He worked hard, caring little for championships, run ming for practice, with the interna- tional classic in view. Saturday he ran the race of champion.

AMERICAN OLYMPIC
 TEAMS BEST EVER
Many Record Breakers Among Stars Who WIZ : Defend u s. Honors Abroad

NEW YORK, June 21.-The strong est squad of athletes ever sent across the Atlantic to represent the United States in the Olympic games sailed to Paris on the steamship America to de- fend the American championship in the eighth renewal of the Olympiad this week.
 : Not since the Films sprang into prominence as Americas chief rivals for the point score have the hopeS of this country been as high as they are today, after the final tryouts at the Hayward stadium. The record-breaking performances in the sprints and hurdles and the Olympic record smashing in other events have aroused the hopes of the American coaches to such an extent that nothing but clean-cut vic tories are looked for.
 Indeed, the recen tprotests by Presi- dent Prout of the Amateur Athletic union against the new system of SCOT ing adopted by the French Olympic committee is almost completely for gotten, so certain are, American fol- lowers of athletics of another victory.
 "The American team," said Head Coach Lawson Roberston, lis the best roundabout team that ever represented this country in the Olympics. In fact many of us were astonished by the results of the sectional tryouts and the finals at the Harvard stadium.
 ''Of course, there are many clements impossible to predict early in a pre- Olympic season. For instance, who could know that Jackson Scholz, who quit the game /altogether two years ago, would come back to break two sprinting records, beating such men as Murchison, Leconey and Paddock :? Who could tell that George Taylor would beat Charley Brookins?
 T feel better about the team now than ever before. And what is more, l feel proud of the fact that I am to be head coach for the greatest team that ever represented the stars mad striples abroad"
 Tom Keane of Syracuse, coach for long distancers on the Olympic team, was just as enthusiastic. Keane, by the way, is just as experienced in in-
