NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Gradual,
though steady Improvement in the
class Of European athletics and the
elimination of certain events in
which the United States happened
to be particularly gifted was at
tributed by officials to be the an.
swer to the fact that Americas
Olympic supremacy, hitherto Pc
renniai, is threatened at Paris. The
Improvement is healthful, they say.
and as such finds favor here,
but they make no secret Of the
fact that the elimination of the
acute twinge between the shout
der blades.
The events so effected were the
standing high and broad jumps
and the 56-pound weight. They
We're the occasion for virtually a
blanket clean up by Americans I'M
til the 1920 games at Antwerp
when they were read out Of the
Olympic program by the Inter-
national Federation. 4
Before that, II was not unusual
for Americans to take the first
three places in all three events"
one official said today. "Ray Ewry
could be relied upon to win both
jumps with ease and we always
had two or three other men almost
as good. Later, Ewry passed on,
but his place was ably taken by
the Adams boys, Plat and Ben.
Somehow or other the Europeans
showed no aptitude for the stand.

to develop good men.

aid and others were supreme. II
has been declared off the books
for the meet at Paris this year
and Mcdonald and McGrath, who
would have scored heavily, will be
hard put to score at all in the
other weight events, owing to the
fact that they are getting along
In years."
According to this man the Of
fetal federation eliminated these
events on the plea that they lacked
general interest. However, he also
lntimated that the same holds true
In archery, rifle shooting and Other
competitions that now hola places

When Sclig filmed this red blooded romance of Alaska's gold rush a decade ago, it was regarded as the greatest photoplay Of its day. But this 1923 version is assurcdly one of the most spectacular and exciting pictures ever made.
 A remarkable cast is seen in the picture with Milton Silis as the man ly hero; Anna c.
