- ATHLETE SAYS OF OLYNPICS of Pennsylvania, Authority On Judgment TWICE A MEMBER .OF AMERICAN TEAMS Trained the U. S. Victors in Last International Con- tests in Stockholm By Lawson Robertson Former Olympic Trainer and Coach of University - of Pennsylvmania. (Written for the United Press.)— (Copyrighted 1920, by United Press.) ‘Although ‘the date of the Olympic games to be held in Antwerp is still six months off, athletes in every branch of amateur athletics in this country are preparing themselves with a view of “making” the team. The United States should have no difficulty in winning the majority of the individual events. There is to be no Olympic Team Championship on account of the war, the Olympic council has announced. The war has so depleted the ath- Jetic strength and athletic training facilities of Europe that we may look forward to a rather easy time of it. The Scandinavians, who remained intact during the war should, how- ever, be counted on to make a formid- able showing. Great Britain and her colonies, ordinarily our biggest ath- letic rivals, will most likely have to be contented with third homors to the Swedes, who at least have an organized system. During the lapde between the Stockholm Olympiad and the coming games, but very few of the 1912 win- ners will be available for either this or the other countries. McDonald Is Star. Amongst the most prominent Americans of these are McDonald, first in the shot put; McGrath, win- ner of the hammer throw; Kelly, the high hurdle winner, and Richards, who took honors in the running high jump. The available veteran cham- , pions of other nations are Taipale of Finland, winner of both discus events; Niklander of the same coun- try, runner-up in bqth discus and shot put; Saarstoalso a Finn, who won the javelin throw, and possibly Goulding, the Canadian, who won the 10,000 metre walk. Judging from the results of last year’s championship contests in for- own most recen! performances, the United States should score first and second places in about exactly the same events in which we were suc- cessful in 1912. With a new crop of sprinters that are in no way inferior to the Stock- holm finalists, we look forward to such men as Schoiz of Missouri, Hay- mond of Utah, Paddock of California, Hayes of Notre Dame and Williams of Spokane to out-dash any European product. Our middle distance pros- pects are almost as bright when such performers as Eby and Maxam of Pennsylvania, Driscoll of Boston, Shea of Pittsburgh, Mayer of Cornell, Curtiss and Speer of Chicago, ‘Baker and O’Brien of New York are con- sidered. Ray Long¢ Distance. In the 1500-metre run our pros- pective representatives although not by any means as collectively strong as in 1912, appear to tbe centered around Joie Ray of Chicago and aided by several second stringers in Devan- ney of New York, McCosh and Stout of Chicago, Crawford of Lafayette, 0'Conne}l of Harvard, Windnagle of Washington and Connolly of George- town, The long distance running races at 5,000 and 10,000 metres and cross country may have as competitors, Faller of Dorchester, Mass., American 10-mile champion; Dresser, ex-Cor- nell former intercollegiate champion; Pares.snational 5-mile champion, and Simmons of Syracuse. It is doubtful if the above are quite as good as our previous entrants in Olympic long di:tance coutests, but perl:aps two or three additional men may be develoved before the final Group of &6 Chinnmén just landed in New Y()rk_fromllhwxmu, Cuba, where they acquired large fortunes. They 3 H are on their way home to Chire via Montreal and Vancouver. - o “’“*““‘***“""’*’:‘WHEM SEWING FOR CHILDSEN services of the Adams brothers who scored heavily at Stockholm but Wil- liam Taylor of Ohio, the winner in the inter-allied games, should fill the vacancy. Pole vaulting is almost strictly on American event and our inter-colle- giate winners of this year together with Foss, the new record holder, ought to bring our colors to the top of the Antwerp stadium. Weights Doubtful. Then comes the weight throwers. Here is where we may run up against it. In the hammer throw and 56 lb. weight our chances are rosy with such performers as McGrath, the present champion, and Ryan, the rec- ord holder. Also we have the veteran McDonald in the shot put, but it seems that .Finland has. some excel- lent performers in Niklander, who was third at Stockholm, and Taipale. Both of these men have improved and McDonald will have to be in his 1912 form to be returned a victor. The discus and javelin events must almost be conceded to the Finns and Swedes as our performers are not quite up to their standards or rec- ords. 3 Our all around athletes who may represent us in the Pentathlon also might have their difficulties although LeGendre and Georgetown seems the equal of any European thus far pro- duced. The marathon rage, considered the feature of the Olympic meet, is the most uncertain of all. There has not been a good consistant marathoner produced in this country since the last games and it would be hazardous C to predict a possible winner, although the Swedes and Finns seem tofoster this branch of sport to a greater ex- tent than the other countries. i [ EE LS EE LSS RS 0SB x HORNET x S TSI IS T2 2 % 2 81 (Too late for last week) Among those who were in Black- eign countries as compared with our duck on Monday were George Wood- ward and Forslen Gronseth.

' GOLD DEPOSITS IN SIBERIA Land Known to Be Enormousiy Rich Awaiting Development Under a Stable Government. Some time In the future, when the life of Siberia follows an orderly course under a stable government, there will doubtless be a development of the gold resources of the Okhotsk district, ‘where, so It has been said, the “rivers have golden bottoms.” Gold Is being mined in the Okhotsk district, but only in a primitive fashion. Last winter a “zolotnik” of gold, or, in English, .137147 ounce troy, was worth 20 rubles, but it has now risen !n value in the present currency of Rus- sia to about 100. Even in a primitive way many of the deposits are not be- ing worked, and the method by which some of the gold is exported to Ja- pan is equally primitive. A Japanese vessel with g fishing concession comes from’ Japan loaded with articles for try-puts are held. QOur usual good crop of hurdlers - should manage to show the way to most of the foreigners. In Johnson of Michigan, Sylvester of Missouri, Barron of Philadelphia, Smith and Watt of Cornell, Erdman of Prince- ton and Kelly of New York, we have a fine field to choose from. The running high- jump should have the following men trying for a place on the team. Richards of Utah, Whalen of Boston, Murphy of Notre Dame, Landon of Yale, Erickson of New York and Larsen of Utah. All of the above have cleared the bar at 6 feet 3 inches or better which. per- formance would almost certainly ex- ceed that of any form abroad, as far as up to date records show. Jumpers Available. The running broad jump should be * well taken care of by Johnson of Michigan and Butler of Dubuque as first place contenders, although this is a rather uncertain event and up- sets are frequent. Second string jumpers for this country are prob- lematical. The standing jumps will miss the trade; and these are exchanged for furs and gold. The fishing vessel then returns to Japan, carrving: the gold and furs it has received for its mer- chandise. With mining carried on sys- tematically a gold-producing region that covers hundreds of square miles would be yielding the precious metal, but such operations are of course out of the question until stable govern- ment is established. CARING FOR. YOUNG ORCHARD Clean Cultivation Consérves Moisture and Keeps Weeds Down—Best for Peaches. The best method of growing a young apple orchard, and by all means & peach orchard, is by clean cultivation. This conserves the moisture and keeps the weeds down. Peach trees will re- spond to intensive cultivation more thun any other tree. It is useless to plant a peach tree and not cultivate it. i BAGLEY IEF 2RSS SR 2 R RN S (Too late for last week) Leslie Spicer visited with friends here Sunday, Fred Dennis, accompanied by his wife, visited in our city Sunday, at- tending to legal matters and renew- ing the friendships of an old class mate, Wm.

At the end of the first half the game closed with a score of 18 to 8, in favor of Erskine. Then the locals buckled down and tied the score and held it to within three minutes of the end. In the last thrce minutes the Erskine team made three points and ended the game with a score of 27 to 24 in favor of Erskine. . The boys put up a good clean fight and are not at all put out by tais defeat. They were inconvenienced by the small hall they were obliged to play in. They will again face Erskine on the home floor Friday, and they expect to win a decisive victory. y &N ) Soil makes a good winter protection for grapevines. .
