to Games in Japan.
B. the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE men
and women most seriously concerned
with the Olympic games-the cham
pion athletes in all branches Of sports
apparently prefer to run, jump or
swim rather than discuss the political
situation.
1t may be discouraging to the op-
ponents Of holding the 1910 games in
Japan, but the replies received SO far
in . poll Of the athletes conducted by
the American Olympic Committee are
overwhelmingly in favor Of sending
teams to Toxic.
As q result Of the opposition, based
largely upon Japan's war in China,
and Of the dates set for the summer
sames-September 21-October 6-the
A. O. c. sent out q QUESTIONABLE to
all National A. A. U. and intercollegiate
champions as well as all members Of
the 1896 Olympic team.
They were asked: Il. Are you in
favor Of United States participation in
the 1910 Olympics at Toxic? 2. Do
you expect to participate In the try
outs? :. II not, why not? 4. Could
you make the trip. II successful In
qualifying for the team?"
Pointing out that no omcial invi-
tation from Japan has yet been re-
ceived and that the committee merely
was seeking opinions for guidance, the
committee apparently asked the ques-
tions in order to decide what its &C.
tions should be when the invitation
