AMERICAN TEAM FIGURES TO WIN SHOULD GET THE HONORS IN OLYMPIC GAMES PAST FORM GIVES BOYS BEST OF SIX EVENTS Seem to Hold Hurdles, Hammer, Shot. put, Pole Vault and Standing Jump* at Their Mercy—Fair Chances in Other Events BY CHESTER LAWRNECE America's chances of victory in the Olympic games look very rosy just now, and if the prospective competitors Kuropeon countries are no better than from their paper performances would Indicate Uncle Sara's representatives easily will annex the point honors of events in the English stadium. Just now, to size up the American team in a few words, it is the strongest In the hurdles, 16-pound shot, hammer throw, pole vault and standing jumps. weak in the distance runs and only •\u25a0middling" in the sprints, middle dis- tances, discus find running Jumps, and \u25a0with not the slightest chance in the spear throwing or walking races. Ta.king the events in rotation, the sprints come first. America: has no \u25a0wonder for the 100 meters nowadays; that is, a man who, like Wefers, could give yards to his opponents and who ot once could be put down as a dead cure thing for the hundred. The Amer- icans entered in this event in no way border on the phenom class, and at their very best only have a fighting chance to score. Calculating the possibilities! from a speed test, seemingly, the foremost man on the team is W. W. May of Illinois university, with his record of 9 4-5 sec- onds for the 100 yards, his figures for the 100 meters being only conjecture. It is true that Rector, with his record of 10 4-6 for the 100 meters, looms up strongly, but then he has shown that he is no repeater, that he knows noth- ing of starting, and into the bargain Is of a very nervous disposition ani apt to go wrong at any moment. On his last tryout, Robertson of the Irish-American Athletic club was beaten in poor time, and in order to be at all within hailing distance of the front rank he will have to improve wonderfully before July IS. If Sher- man of Dartmouth college should round back into his form of the early spring he will show well. Cartmell Should Win After all things have been sized up, Cartmell of Pennsylvania Is the most likely to pull through the two rounds of trials, the semi-final and final, with- out having his colors lowered. From Ireland there is word of a new wonder of the name of R. J. Roche, the younger brother of P. J. Roche, tho Irish champion sprinter. Last year the youngster had a few airings, and on each occasion he exhibited rare speed, but this year it seems he is still faster. His latest appearance was at the spring meet of the Queen's college, Cork, where he was credited with 9 3-5 seconds for the 100 yards. There wis made no mention of the weather condi- tion, but perhaps Roche had the aid of a breeie. Tha older Roche has done 10 1-5 seconds for the 100 yards, and as both will be in the 100 meters at the Olympic games the visitors will have .imple opportunity to get a line on the Irishman. On paper the really fastest sprinter the Americans will meet is Knut Lind- berg. the Swedish champion and holder of the world's record for the 100 meters of 10 3-5 seconds, made at Stockholm last fall. That the performance was genuine there Is little doubt, for soon afterward, in the international "meet Lindberg easily defeated J. W. Morton in 11 1-5 seconds. Lindberg is speedy also tn the 200 meters, having done 22 3-5, but the best man here is Cart- mell, who should, bar accident, scratch home in front of J. P. George, the Englishman. Four Hundred is Hard Picking the winner of the 400 meter event is more or less of a difficult task at this moment. If all goes well with Lieutenant Halswell, the former quar- ter-mile English champion, he should be first past the post, but only time can reveal whether he will be able to round into form. He strained a tendon last year and had been absent from the cinder path until lately, and on his trial did something like two minutes and tv."o seconds for the half mile and recently ran 400 meters in 50 2-5 sec- onds and 600 yards in one minute and 12 1-5 seconds. When well trained Halswell could do the 400 meters in 4S 2-5 seconds, and these figures seem beyond the speed of any man on the American team. Were HiUman to devote his attention solely to the 400 meters he is the only man able to give Halswell a chase tor tirst place. In his recent quarter mile race at Travels Island HiUman showed something lige' 4i» seconds for the dis- tance, and that at least he could reach 400-meter post in 48 4--5 seconds, and these figures mean that Hillman is as fast now as of yore. The tryout for the 400-meter event in the United States showed that Taylor of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania and Atlee of Princeton university are evenly match- ed and good for about is* 4-5 seconds at the very slowest. Both may do a little betier li England. Foreigners Not Speedy Outside of Halswell the foriegners billed for trouble in this race are very few and these tnw arc not known to be very speedy. On the continent the fastest man appears to be Bellin de Coteau of the Societe Atletique de Monrouge France, the present French record holder and champion and whose best time for the 40u meters is 60 sec- onds. The best Swede is C. A. Toren, who has done 517-10 seconds, though in last year's championship K. Sten- bertr of Goteberg won in 52 4-5 seconds. Exactly the same tlgures have been credited to George B. Bank, the Nor- wegian champion, while R. Stenberg, the Finnish record holder, is two-fifths of a second faster. J. Runge, who it will be remembered, ran at St. Louis in 1901, has the Ger- man record with 51 1-5 seconds, and tl.e Belgian record is 531-6 seconds, made by V. Jacquemin. There should be no fear of any stiff opposition from the Hungarians In this event, as Z. Mestecky, the champian, has done only 54 4-5 seconds. The Russian cham- pion, Paul Lidvau, is still slower, his record being 55 2-5 seconds. There Is not the least fear that N. A. Merriam, Chicago; J. C. Carpenter, Cornel); H. P. Ramey, Chicago, or W. C. Prout. Boston, of the American team, will fail to defeat the best of the continental stars. Should Break Record The 800-meter race is bound to be one of the best contests on the program and offers every possibility of the Olympian record being knocked sky high. Several of the wise ones who are good at picking the winners think that with Sheppaxd first place the race will be the easiest sort of a cinch for America. If there w»3 anything to warrant that Sheppard will do 1 min- ute 84 eeconds for the 800 meters in England it would be a safe gamble that he would have a fair chance at the evant. But there is a good percentage to go by that the Irish-American Ath- letic club runner will not clock as fast time abroad as at home. The foremost English entry in the race will be H. Just of Cambridge uni- versity, and he will have as a second string Fairbairn Crawford of Dublin university. Just )s the present English and Irish champion. On a cold, raw day last March and on a soggy track Just ran tho half mile In 1:55 4-5, the event being the annual varsity match between Oxford and Cambridge, and a thing to be remembered was that the Cantab had no one to push him, nor was ha puffed or striding badly when he crossed the finish line. Of the other American selection Coe of Michigan and Jones of Pennsylvania seem the most reliable. Paul Pilgrim, who did such fine work two years ago at Athens, may find his form at. the right time and again surprise the crit- Ici by doing the unexpected. Very likely J. D. Lightbody will devote his attention to the long distance runs. Hellstrom Is Formidable The best of the continental delegation will be Kristian Hellstrom, holder of the Swedish record for the 500, 800 and 1000 meters, and it is now reported that he is good for 1:56 for the middle dis- tance. He has been a resident of Eng- land for the lsat year or so and will have the same advantage over our men as will the Englishman. France will be represented by H. Dploge, who cov- ered the distance In 1:59 1-5 last year, and it is said that he is much faster this season. The second string for the French will be Pouillot, nearly as good as Deloge, Runge, the German cham- pion, is a fifth of a second slower than the Frenchman on paper, but the rat- ing may be reversed when they meet. G. Delarge, the Belgian champion, is rather slow for this awnt, his time in last year's championship meet being 2 minutes 25 2-5 seconds. The distance was not run at the Hungarian track and field meet last year, but B, Hollies won the half mile In the slow time of 2 minutes and 9 seconds. There is no Russian or Fin- nish record for the SOO meters, but W. Lundstrom, a Finlander. did 1000 meters in 2 minutes 49 4-5 seconds, which is not very bad, looking at the events from an unbiased standpoint. America has only a chance for a place, and should Sheppard come in ahead of Just, it will be the deed of his life. Halstead In 1500 Meters America's strongest hope in the 1500 meters will be Halstead of Cornell, for his race in the tryouts was conclusive evidence that here is a distance man of first water. The time made by him of 4 minutes and 1-5 second, beats ail records on this side of the water, but if the Englishmen are true to their traditions, the figures will not cut much ice in the stadium. In the English tryouts H. A. Wilson of the Hailamahire Harriers beat this record of Halstead's by two-fifths of a second, and he is not even classed among the second raters on hiß own soil. The man to keep an eye on for this event is G. Buttertleld of the Dar- lington Harriers, the present English mile champion and a man with a rec- ord of 4 minutes 18 2-5 seconds for the mile. This rate of traveling would mean something like 3 minutes and 55 seconds for the 1500 meters, and per- haps, when Butterfleld gauges his race for that exact distance, he will lower the record to 3 minutes and 52 seconds. The record down for L. Steuder, the Russian champion, is 4 minutes 34 4-5 seconds, and the Finnish record is 4 minutes and 22 seconds. South Africa will have a man in the race named C. Hefferon, who, at the very best, hardly will prove dan- gerous, as he has done only the mile in 4 minutes 35 4-5 seconds. With re- gard to the placing of Lightbody of Chicago, Dull and Rowe of Michigan and Sullivan of the Irish-American Athletic club, the other American se- lections in this event, it is difficult to say what they will do. Lightbody never has been headed for the distance, a fact which adds greatly to his credit, though he cer- tainly never met any man of the But- terfleld caliber during his career. Dull and Rowe are good men and well with- in the 4:30 class for the mile, but Sul- livan in all probability will find the English atmosphere a little too much for him. Little Hope in Five.Mile What America will get out of the five-mile event is a. little b- tter than a forlorn hope. If Bellars Oj.' the New York Athletic club, the topnotch Yan- kee selection, expects to be anywhere near the leaders at the finish, he will have to show more than one minute faster than his tryout. His time here was 26 minutes and 44 seconds, rather poor going when compared with the English tryout of Voight in 25 min- utes 26 2-5 seconds. It is difficult to figure where Eissele of the New York Athletic club, Bonhag of the Irish American Athletic club, and Trube of Cornell will be when the winner hits the finish line. So far as can be judged now, the battle for first place should lie between Duncan, the English four and ten- mile champion, and John Svanberg, the Swedish champion. The pair met twice last year, the distances being four and five miles, and on both oc- casions the Swede won. The time of the five miles was 24 minutes and 47 3-5 seconds. High Hurdles Secure With such high hurdlers on the American team as Shaw of Dartmouth, Smithson of the Multnomah Athletic club and Garrels of the Chicago Ath- letic club, all three places seem secure, unless some wonder comes out of the woods over there. The best old-world timbertopper seems to be K. Powell of Cambridge university, and is cred- ited with a record of 151-5 seconds, but Shaw's style of hurdling should prove safer over the English obstacles. In the 1600-meter relay race America has a good fighting chance and the out- come depends on how Sheppard and Taylor compare with Halswell and Just. If the middle-distance men from here ar«s ablft to hold safe the Saxons, tho sprinters should be able to do their part, and victory should go to the Stars and Stripes. The three-mile race is a certainty for the Britishers, with Sweden a good second and America and France fighting it out for third. The two walking events can be dealt with quite easily, and with such star heel and toe experts and cham- pions as Lamer, Thompson, Youmans and Carter available. England will have the softest kind of a. job to win all three places. The Marathon race of twenty-five miles, from the royal palace at Wins- dor to the stadium, is by far the most important* event on the program. It is the one race requiring stamina and speed above all others. To predict the result is not an easy task, for there is such a broad field for accident. But the thing not to be forgotten is that the Englishmen have the advantage, for every man who at all aspires to be a starter already has been over the course. Several have shown good time, the best being made by Duncan, who nn the big trial given the Polytech- nic Harriers, and his performance was made more impressive by the fact that the Saturday previous he won the na- tional ten-mile championship.

ACCIDENTS ARE LESS FREQUENT FOURTH OF JULY PASSES IN COMPARATIVE SAFETY INJURED ARE ALL REPORTED AS DOING WELL Most Serious Case Was Due to Misad. venture with Gun, and Amputa- tion Was Found to Be Necessary Information received from the va- rious hospitals Is to the effect that accidents this year from fireworks and other forms of explosives were much less numerous and serious than they were last Fourth. Andrew B. Johnson, who lost his right hand Saturday and was taken to the county hospital, is improving. Johnson had been using a shotgun, and, thinking he had emptied the last charge, placed the gun behind a closet door while grasping it by the muzzle. The trigger was jerked bark and the gun went off, the charge passing through Johnson's right hand. He was rushed to the county hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate his arm just below the elbow. Johnson lives at the Redondo Villa tract. It is an even guess that a 14-year- old, Dallas Bradley, who lives at 1431 East Adams street, will never have the desire to meddle with fireworks again, in any form. As the result of placing a piece of lighted punk in a can of powder he had the middle finger of his right hand blown off. After being treated at the receiving hospital he was taken to his home. Last night his doctor reported that he was im- proving as much a's could be expected, although he was still suffering great pain. Victor Stahler, who was taken to the Emergency hospital Saturday, suffer- ing from painful burns inflicted on his right hand by the accidental discharge of a toy cannon, is improving. It was found necessary to amputate the fore- finger of his right hand. His left hand also was severely burned. Leon Harris, the young machinist whose face was badly cut by the ac- cidental discharge of a toy cannon, and who was treated at the receiving hospital, passed an uncomfortable night "Saturday, his doctor reporting that he was very restless. He proba- bly will carry a scar on his face the rest of his life. Another youngster who was treated at the receiving hospital for injuries inflicted to his right hand, is reported to be improving. He is John Brown, a 14-year-old lad living at 1242 Elden street. He escaped with only burns, which were cleaned and dressed by the surgeons. When seen at his home yes- terday ha expressed himself as being very lucky that he did not lose his hand. Swears Off for Good "No more firecrackers for me." were the words of James Dlshman, a 10- --year-old boy living at 1052 Eaat Twen- ty-first street, when seen yesterday. James' right hand was swathed In bandages as the result of his picking up a giant cracker which he thought had gone off. It exploded In his hand, tearing his thumb and forefinger. R. J. Martin, a salesman whose right forefinger was shattered by the pre- mature explosion of a giant firecracker while held In his hand. Is slightly im- proved. Detective T. H. Zeigler, -whose hand was severely burned Saturday by the explosion of a skyrocket, which he held In his hand, reported for duty yester- day. He said he was much Improved. E. C. Tllsley reports his right hand as getting along nicely. Mr. Tilsley is a real estate man and lives at 128 Avenu« 22. He was injured by the ex- plosion of a firecracker. George Austin, the 12-year-old boy \u25a0who was attempting to blow up minia- ture warships with a can of powder, did not get out of the way of the ex- plosive quick enough, and received burns about the face and neck, was reported to be improving. His in- juries were treated at the receiving hospital. ____^_ Wants the Big Ones The Major—About 700.000 demijohns are made yearly In this country, but the largest sizes are imported.

AMERICAN TEAMFIGURES TO WIN
SHOULD GET THE HONORS INOLYMPIC GAMES
PAST FORM GIVES BOYS BEST OF
SIX EVENTS
Seem to Hold Hurdles, Hammer, Shot.
put, Pole Vault and Standing Jump*
at Their Mercy—Fair Chancesin Other Events
BY CHESTER LAWRNECEAmerica's chances of victory in the
Olympic games look very rosy justnow, and if the prospective competitors
Kuropeon countries are no better than
from their paper performances wouldIndicate Uncle Sara's representativeseasily will annex the point honors ofevents in the English stadium.
Just now, to size up the Americanteam in a few words, it is the strongest
In the hurdles, 16-pound shot, hammerthrow, pole vault and standing jumps.
weak in the distance runs and only•\u25a0middling" in the sprints, middle dis-tances, discus find running Jumps, and\u25a0with not the slightest chance in thespear throwing or walking races.
Ta.king the events in rotation, thesprints come first. America: has no\u25a0wonder for the 100 meters nowadays;
that is, a man who, like Wefers, couldgive yards to his opponents and whoot once could be put down as a deadcure thing for the hundred. The Amer-icans entered in this event in no wayborder on the phenom class, and attheir very best only have a fightingchance to score.
Calculating the possibilities! from aspeed test, seemingly, the foremost manon the team is W. W. May of Illinoisuniversity, with his record of 9 4-5 sec-onds for the 100 yards, his figures forthe 100 meters being only conjecture.It is true that Rector, with his recordof 10 4-6 for the 100 meters, looms upstrongly, but then he has shown thathe is no repeater, that he knows noth-ing of starting, and into the bargainIs of a very nervous disposition aniapt to go wrong at any moment.
On his last tryout, Robertson ofthe Irish-American Athletic club wasbeaten in poor time, and in order to beat all within hailing distance of thefront rank he will have to improvewonderfully before July IS. If Sher-man of Dartmouth college should roundback into his form of the early springhe will show well.
Cartmell Should WinAfter all things have been sized up,
Cartmell of Pennsylvania Is the mostlikely to pull through the two roundsof trials, the semi-final and final, with-out having his colors lowered.
From Ireland there is word of a newwonder of the name of R. J. Roche,the younger brother of P. J. Roche, thoIrish champion sprinter. Last yearthe youngster had a few airings, andon each occasion he exhibited rarespeed, but this year it seems he is stillfaster. His latest appearance was atthe spring meet of the Queen's college,Cork, where he was credited with 9 3-5seconds for the 100 yards. There wis
made no mention of the weather condi-tion, but perhaps Roche had the aid ofa breeie. Tha older Roche has done10 1-5 seconds for the 100 yards, and asboth will be in the 100 meters at theOlympic games the visitors will have.imple opportunity to get a line on theIrishman.
On paper the really fastest sprinterthe Americans will meet is Knut Lind-berg. the Swedish champion and holderof the world's record for the 100 metersof 10 3-5 seconds, made at Stockholmlast fall. That the performance wasgenuine there Is little doubt, for soonafterward, in the international "meetLindberg easily defeated J. W. Mortonin 11 1-5 seconds. Lindberg is speedyalso tn the 200 meters, having done22 3-5, but the best man here is Cart-mell, who should, bar accident, scratchhome in front of J. P. George, theEnglishman.
Four Hundred is HardPicking the winner of the 400 meter
event is more or less of a difficult taskat this moment. If all goes well withLieutenant Halswell, the former quar-ter-mile English champion, he shouldbe first past the post, but only time canreveal whether he will be able to roundinto form. He strained a tendon lastyear and had been absent from thecinder path until lately, and on histrial did something like two minutesand tv."o seconds for the half mile andrecently ran 400 meters in 50 2-5 sec-onds and 600 yards in one minute and12 1-5 seconds.
When well trained Halswell could dothe 400 meters in 4S 2-5 seconds, andthese figures seem beyond the speed ofany man on the American team. WereHiUman to devote his attention solelyto the 400 meters he is the only manable to give Halswell a chase tor tirstplace. In his recent quarter mile raceat Travels Island HiUman showedsomething lige' 4i» seconds for the dis-tance, and that at least he could reach400-meter post in 48 4--5 seconds, andthese figures mean that Hillman is asfast now as of yore. The tryout forthe 400-meter event in the UnitedStates showed that Taylor of the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania and Atlee ofPrinceton university are evenly match-ed and good for about is* 4-5 seconds atthe very slowest. Both may do a littlebetier li England.
Foreigners Not SpeedyOutside of Halswell the foriegners
billed for trouble in this race are veryfew and these tnw arc not known to bevery speedy. On the continent thefastest man appears to be Bellin deCoteau of the Societe Atletique deMonrouge France, the present Frenchrecord holder and champion and whosebest time for the 40u meters is 60 sec-onds. The best Swede is C. A. Toren,who has done 517-10 seconds, thoughin last year's championship K. Sten-bertr of Goteberg won in 52 4-5 seconds.Exactly the same tlgures have beencredited to George B. Bank, the Nor-wegian champion, while R. Stenberg,the Finnish record holder, is two-fifthsof a second faster.
J. Runge, who it will be remembered,ran at St. Louis in 1901, has the Ger-man record with 51 1-5 seconds, andtl.e Belgian record is 531-6 seconds,made by V. Jacquemin. There shouldbe no fear of any stiff opposition fromthe Hungarians In this event, as Z.Mestecky, the champian, has done only54 4-5 seconds. The Russian cham-pion, Paul Lidvau, is still slower, hisrecord being 55 2-5 seconds.
There Is not the least fear that N. A.Merriam, Chicago; J. C. Carpenter,Cornel); H. P. Ramey, Chicago, or W.C. Prout. Boston, of the Americanteam, will fail to defeat the best of thecontinental stars.
Should Break RecordThe 800-meter race is bound to be
one of the best contests on the programand offers every possibility of theOlympian record being knocked skyhigh. Several of the wise ones whoare good at picking the winners thinkthat with Sheppaxd first place the racewill be the easiest sort of a cinch forAmerica. If there w»3 anything towarrant that Sheppard will do 1 min-ute 84 eeconds for the 800 meters inEngland it would be a safe gamble that
he would have a fair chance at theevant. But there is a good percentageto go by that the Irish-American Ath-letic club runner will not clock as fasttime abroad as at home.
The foremost English entry in therace will be H. Just of Cambridge uni-versity, and he will have as a secondstring Fairbairn Crawford of Dublinuniversity. Just )s the present Englishand Irish champion. On a cold, rawday last March and on a soggy trackJust ran tho half mile In 1:55 4-5, theevent being the annual varsity matchbetween Oxford and Cambridge, and athing to be remembered was that theCantab had no one to push him, norwas ha puffed or striding badly whenhe crossed the finish line.
Of the other American selection Coeof Michigan and Jones of Pennsylvaniaseem the most reliable. Paul Pilgrim,who did such fine work two years agoat Athens, may find his form at. theright time and again surprise the crit-Ici by doing the unexpected. Verylikely J. D. Lightbody will devote hisattention to the long distance runs.
Hellstrom Is FormidableThe best of the continental delegation
will be Kristian Hellstrom, holder ofthe Swedish record for the 500, 800 and1000 meters, and it is now reported thathe is good for 1:56 for the middle dis-tance. He has been a resident of Eng-land for the lsat year or so and willhave the same advantage over our menas will the Englishman. France willbe represented by H. Dploge, who cov-ered the distance In 1:59 1-5 last year,and it is said that he is much fasterthis season.
The second string for the Frenchwill be Pouillot, nearly as good asDeloge, Runge, the German cham-pion, is a fifth of a second slower thanthe Frenchman on paper, but the rat-ing may be reversed when they meet.G. Delarge, the Belgian champion, israther slow for this awnt, his time inlast year's championship meet being 2minutes 25 2-5 seconds.
The distance was not run at theHungarian track and field meet lastyear, but B, Hollies won the half mileIn the slow time of 2 minutes and 9seconds. There is no Russian or Fin-nish record for the SOO meters, butW. Lundstrom, a Finlander. did 1000meters in 2 minutes 49 4-5 seconds,which is not very bad, looking at theevents from an unbiased standpoint.America has only a chance for a place,and should Sheppard come in ahead ofJust, it will be the deed of his life.
Halstead In 1500 MetersAmerica's strongest hope in the 1500
meters will be Halstead of Cornell, forhis race in the tryouts was conclusiveevidence that here is a distance manof first water. The time made by himof 4 minutes and 1-5 second, beats ailrecords on this side of the water, butif the Englishmen are true to theirtraditions, the figures will not cutmuch ice in the stadium.
In the English tryouts H. A. Wilsonof the Hailamahire Harriers beat thisrecord of Halstead's by two-fifths ofa second, and he is not even classedamong the second raters on hiß ownsoil. The man to keep an eye on forthis event is G. Buttertleld of the Dar-lington Harriers, the present Englishmile champion and a man with a rec-ord of 4 minutes 18 2-5 seconds for themile. This rate of traveling wouldmean something like 3 minutes and 55seconds for the 1500 meters, and per-haps, when Butterfleld gauges his racefor that exact distance, he will lowerthe record to 3 minutes and 52 seconds.The record down for L. Steuder, theRussian champion, is 4 minutes 34 4-5seconds, and the Finnish record is 4minutes and 22 seconds.
South Africa will have a man inthe race named C. Hefferon, who, atthe very best, hardly will prove dan-gerous, as he has done only the milein 4 minutes 35 4-5 seconds. With re-gard to the placing of Lightbody ofChicago, Dull and Rowe of Michiganand Sullivan of the Irish-AmericanAthletic club, the other American se-lections in this event, it is difficult tosay what they will do.
Lightbody never has been headedfor the distance, a fact which addsgreatly to his credit, though he cer-tainly never met any man of the But-terfleld caliber during his career. Dulland Rowe are good men and well with-in the 4:30 class for the mile, but Sul-livan in all probability will find theEnglish atmosphere a little too muchfor him.
Little Hope in Five.MileWhat America will get out of the
five-mile event is a. little b- tter thana forlorn hope. If Bellars Oj.' the NewYork Athletic club, the topnotch Yan-kee selection, expects to be anywherenear the leaders at the finish, he willhave to show more than one minutefaster than his tryout. His time herewas 26 minutes and 44 seconds, ratherpoor going when compared with theEnglish tryout of Voight in 25 min-utes 26 2-5 seconds. It is difficult tofigure where Eissele of the New YorkAthletic club, Bonhag of the IrishAmerican Athletic club, and Trubeof Cornell will be when the winnerhits the finish line.
So far as can be judged now, thebattle for first place should lie betweenDuncan, the English four and ten-mile champion, and John Svanberg,
the Swedish champion. The pair mettwice last year, the distances being
four and five miles, and on both oc-casions the Swede won. The time ofthe five miles was 24 minutes and47 3-5 seconds.
High Hurdles Secure
With such high hurdlers on theAmerican team as Shaw of Dartmouth,
Smithson of the Multnomah Athleticclub and Garrels of the Chicago Ath-letic club, all three places seem secure,unless some wonder comes out of thewoods over there. The best old-worldtimbertopper seems to be K. Powellof Cambridge university, and is cred-ited with a record of 151-5 seconds,
but Shaw's style of hurdling shouldprove safer over the English obstacles.
In the 1600-meter relay race Americahas a good fighting chance and the out-come depends on how Sheppard andTaylor compare with Halswell andJust. Ifthe middle-distance men fromhere ar«s ablft to hold safe the Saxons,tho sprinters should be able to do theirpart, and victory should go to theStars and Stripes. The three-mile raceis a certainty for the Britishers, withSweden a good second and Americaand France fighting it out for third.
The two walking events can bedealt with quite easily, and with suchstar heel and toe experts and cham-pions as Lamer, Thompson, Youmansand Carter available. England willhave the softest kind of a. job to winall three places.
The Marathon race of twenty-fivemiles, from the royal palace at Wins-dor to the stadium, is by far the mostimportant* event on the program. Itis the one race requiring stamina andspeed above all others. To predictthe result is not an easy task, for thereis such a broad field for accident. Butthe thing not to be forgotten is thatthe Englishmen have the advantage,
for every man who at all aspires to bea starter already has been over thecourse. Several have shown good time,
the best being made by Duncan, whonn the big trial given the Polytech-
nic Harriers, and his performance wasmade more impressive by the fact thatthe Saturday previous he won the na-tional ten-mile championship.
