CANADIAN SPRINT MARVEL

Refuses Offer 10 Be Relieved i'm Race SaturIay-Has
No Set Training Rules, But Never Has Primed
by Running Against Time.

MY work isn't finished yet" he said.
TN see 1t through. Keep me on the
relay team"
Williams, who will not be 20 years old
until next May, does not keep any strict
training reglmn. He is neither
vegetarian nor teetotaler.
L drink and eat anything feel like
in moderation" he told one of his
Canadian friends a few DAYS ago. al
though he admitted that he had fewer
troubles in moderation on the drinking
side of the equation than on the eating
side
Always Races Opponent.
The Vancouver speedster is one OF
the foremost examples of proof, accord
ing to many Of the training theorists
here. that the American and French
methods OF training against the watch"
are all wrong Never in two years of his
racing career has Williams been sent
out to run against time by his trainer.
He always races against some oppo-
Inent with handicaps proportionate to
their relative speeds. williams never
goes out to break II seconds for the 100
meters or % for 200, but instead in his
training handicap man is placed sew
eral yards ahead and he is instructed
to go out and beat him.
This. the experts aver, explains the
tremendous bursts of speed the Ca
madam uncorked few meters from the
tape in both the 100 and 200 meter races
when, after lying in second or third
place for the entire distance he simply
left his opponents standing still like a
thoroughbred streaking out from a
bunch of selling platers.
When it is explained that the So
called selling platers emerged from the
pick OF the champions of the 40 nations
competing in the Olympic games, Will
liams' friends say it is no reflection on
the caliber Of the competition, but their
star merely outclaSses them when 1t
comes to the finish
The Canadian officials denied TODAY
the reports that Williams was an added
starter" on the Canadian team. He is
full-hedged member of the team. they
say, and was brought to Europe at the
expense of Canada.

MSTERDAM, August 2 Cana
n dian Press). -- Officials OF the
Il Canadian Olympic committee
\ have become quite outspoken
In their criticism OF the man
agement of the games and in charging
that Canadians have been unfairly
treated, while United States athletics
have been favored.
p. j. Mulqueen, president Of the Ca
madam Olympic committee, said: The
Canadian Olympic officials have no
quarrel with the American officials,
One American official Extensively played
to the gallery, but we do not hold all
American officials responsible for his
conduct The rough ride the Cana
dians have received In these games
must necessarily raise the question oil
Canada's further participation In the
Olympic games this Notwithstanding
the fact that Canada stands out ath-
letically as a result Of our successes In
the present games"
Some Grievances Cited.
Bobby Robinson, manager of the Ca
madam team. gave the following state
ment:
Canadian officials deeply resent the
udIitleT III WHICH TIC OlrIHPiI kditSa
have been conducted. Canadian ath-
letes have been penalized for violating
the rules, while other athletes get
away with violations just as giaring.
An American girl who finished second
to Jean Thompson Of Canada was
paced from the head of the home
stretch by n teammate wearing Unit
ed States sweater Canadian ofiicials
drew the attention to this violation
and were told the offender had been
warned not 10 do 1t again. The girls
action was direct violation of the
rules and just AZ glaring an offense as
the one causing the disqualification OF
Canadians on Tuesday,
Instances Of this kind have aroused
Canadians and have created the belief
that some officials are displaying par
tiality. Naturally circumstances OF this
kind will bring up the question OF Can

Canada would be happier In the British

contests, Opinions expressed through

A MSTERDAM, August 2.--The 19-
" year-old boy the Canadians
Il call "just a running fool isn't
4 i through yet. Percy Williams,
the new world Sprinting cham
pion, whose name was never heard
outside of the Dominion before the
Olympic games, celebrated his double
victory. the first since 1912 when Ralph
Craig of the United States turned in
victories in both the Olympic sprints
by getting a sound nights sleep in
preparation for further efforts on Gin
der path in the Olympic Stadium.
He is sleeping like a baby" P. j.

cation, told the reporters who besieged

piad last night. Don't disturb him
He must run In the relays next Sat

That is all Canada asks Of her Olym-
pic athletes-besides winning the 100
and 200 meter dashes from the pick
Of the worlds sprinters, he must run
on Canada's relay team.
Not Heavy Eater.
The fact that the freedom of the
City of Toronto. which he entered by
the back door IL months ago, having
worked his way from Vancouver as a
waiter in dining car in order to
compete in the Dominion champion
ships, awaited his return failed to dis
turb the peaceful rest of this trim lad.
Williams came straight from the sta
dium after defeating the worlds best

had a light repast of tomato salad, Gu
cumbers and mineral water, then retired.
last Thursday" he explained.
The officials of the Canadian team
had been willing to let williams scratch
his entry in the 200 meters after win
ming the shorter sprint, but he insisted
on running. Last night they offered to
give him a well earned rest by replac-
ing him on the relay team, but he mod
estly stuck to his determination to see
his task through to the finish.
