NEW YORK, July 23.-Although Uncle Sam's track and field ath- letes have been victorious in all the Olympic Games contested up to date, they have met sustained opposition from five other nations all of which will be in the forth coming fray at Amsterdam.
 These five incidentally are the only countries besides the United States which have scored points in all of the last five Olympiads.
 Of these U. s. rivals, Great Britain and Sweden have made the best showing over this period, while Finland has come up from eighth place in 1906 and tenth in 1908 to finish third in 1912 and as runner-up threatened American supremacy in 1920 and 1924. The other two nations which have always managed to score some points are France and Italy.
 The following table shows where the five finished in each of the various years:

MONTHS BRING CHANGES IN BASEBALL

And now he has been sent to Cleveland with all National league clubs waiving claim to his service. Just before Miljus was cut loose, Earl Smith, veteran catcher, was released un- conditionally, and before that Johnny Gooch, who was catching Miljus that dark october day, had been traded with Joe Harris, the punisher of curve ball pitching, to Brooklyn. Yde, who was in the final game as a pinch runner, is pitching for Indianapolis and doing a good job of it. All the Yankees who were in the game are still in New York livery but Wiley Moore, whose sinker brought the Yankees through to victory, is not the Moore today he was then. The big Oklahoma farmer has been troubled all year with a sore arm and instead of being graduated from a relief to start ing role, he is no longer in con- mand of the first aid corps.
