i BELGIUN OPENS STADIUM TODAY FOR OLYMPIAD Athletes of 30 Nations Parade Arena Before International Audiences, ON TOMORROW King of Belgium Makes Presen- tation to World Olympic Head. GAMES (By Associated Pres). Antwerp, August 14—The Olympic Stadium was opened today. It was a formal ceremony, staged with 2 setting of flags, banners and flutter- ing pennants against a background of white stone, cement and wood, with royalty, officialdom, diplomacy, fame and fashion participating in the program or represented in the boxes. But the thousands of spectators packed about the huge oval centered their interest in the actual contest- ants—athletes from nearly 20 nations —who. paraded the arena and tomor- row will begin their tests of strength and skill. Two flags, the German and Austri- an, which flew over the stadium in the Sixth Olympiad at Stockholm,. were missing and these countries, barred from participating in the meet, ag were all enemies of the Entente powers in the war, haé no representation either in the arena or in the diplomatic boxes. The Rus- sian flag also was missing. Estho- nia and Monaco were late entries. * Speech by King The formal ceremonies of opening the stadium included addresses by the king of the Belgians, who offi- cially presented the stadium-to Ba- ron Pierre de Coubertin, president of the International Olympic committee. There was singing by a Belgian choral society. i The cheering was continuous as the athletes, filing in from the open space just back of the stadium where they had formed, nation by nation, swung into the arena headed by the members of the International Olym- pic committee. They marched in: al- phabetical order, though the Belg!- ans, alphabetical first in thelist, took last place courteously, as hosts. This brought Australia. first in line. Each group was preceded by its '| News of Sport World | co TS ere GOSSIP FOR THE Yee | FASTEST DASHER Much is expected of Loren himself and his rivals the first 9 will be held the field events, is of well-kept turf.

There are tennis courts back of the stadium: t ’ TY COBB JUMPS AHEAD IN RACE flags, and generally speaking, each group of nationals was uniformly dressed—not in athletic :togs, but in suits of uniform cut and color. Some, however, were in army or navy unl- <form. As they swung by'the royal box, where King Albert, Prince Le- opold and a group of government of- ficials were standing, they saluted the king. Some of the athletes paid similar courtesy to the ambassadors or ministers of their nations, who had boxes all around the arena. Americans Cheered The American athletes, about strong, were cheered frequently not only by their compatriots in’ the stands, but by the throngs who rec- ognized that the group marching be- hind the stars and stripes were 300 4 “hmong the strong contenders for vic- tory in the Seventh Olympiad. It seemed that there were thou- sands of Americans in the. stands. Every soldier from the Army of Oc- cupation who could, possibly secure leave was there. Jackies» from the cruiser Frederick, sailors from the, American liners in the harbor and hundreds upon hundreds.of tourists swelled the delegation, until, in some parts of the stadium, at least, it seemed to be a regular American crowd. Many Nations Entered A glance at the list of nations par- ticipating.in this Olympiad gives an idea of the cosmopolitan character of the athletes and crowd: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Chili, Denmark, Egypt, Spain, United States, Finland, France, Great Brit- ain, Greece, Hotland, British India, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Norway, New Zealand, — Portugal, South Africa, Rumania, Sweden, Switzerland, Esthonia and’ Monaco. Of these, Brazil, China, Egypt, Spain, British India, Mexico and Po- Jand did not participate at Stock- holm in 1912.” Today’s ceremony signified not on- ly the formal opening of the Olym- pic games but the completion of 2 task dy Belgium, which, undertaken at a difficult time in her history, seemed almost impossible of consum- mating. . When the International Olympic committee, in 1919, decided to. award the Seventh Olympiad to Belgium, the nation, after four years of occu- pation by the enemy and in a crip- pled industrial condition, set out to constfuct a huge stadium and ‘make other-arrangements for the game in about’ one year’s time. ~ Nevertheless, the stadium was com- pleted in record time, having been turned over by the contractor to the Relginm Olympic committee on May 23 last. : The Stadium ‘The: stadium is something more than three miles from the central business district of Antwerp and is reached by street railway and steam railway lines. It has been built of stone: concrete, steel and wood, with an impressive arched main entrance. Its total capacity for spectators is estimated at 30,000. It, like the tracks it encloses, is oval in shape.” On two sides there aré roofed “grandstands,” where are located the boxes and re- served seats. At the two ends of the oval, however, there are no roofs but only a series of steps—like those of the old Greek open-air theaters— accommodating thousands of specta- tors standing. FOR HIT HONOR! Makes Twelve Hits in Last Six} Games—Speaker Still Leads Chicago, Aug. 14—Ty Cobb, the De- troit star, cracked out twelve hits in his last.six games, and’ boosted his average among the leading batters, of the American League, to .341, aa compared with 322 a week ago. The Georgian seemed to have struck his4 Ms old stride and gives promise of fin- ishing close to the leaders. | Tris Speaker, manager of the Clevelands, continues to top the regulars who have participated in fifty or more games, his mark of .417 which he ac- quired last week. remaining unchang- ed despite the fact he played in five more games. “Babe” Ruth, of New York, the home run king, leads in runs with 120, and is out in front in total bases with 295. He stands fourth in bat- ting with an average of .387, being topped by Jackson of -Chicago, who has 392, and Sisler of St. Louis, who, is runner-up to. Speaker with .404. Ruth had 41) home runs’.up: to. the compilation of these averages whici include Wedhesday’s games. Rice of Washington has not been very successful in his specialty of stealing bases on the St. Louis and Chicago catchers in the past week, but with his last week’s mark of 43 thefts remains far ahead of his ri- vals. t Cleveland, Chicago: and New York, the league leaders, are bunched in team fielding with averages of .971, 970 and .96¥ respectively, while in team batting Cleveland is first with 309, Chicago third with .293 and and New York fifth with .284. Other leading batters: KE, Collins, Chicago, .359; Rice, Washington; 352; Meusel, New Yorg,’.351; Cobb, Detroit, .341; Jacobson, St. Louis, .337; Hendryx, Boston, 337; Weaver.’ Chicago, 335; Earl Smith, St. Louis, 333; Judge, Washington, 328, Felsch, Chicago, .327; S. O’Neili, Cleveland, .327. Hornsby Stands Still Roger Hornsby, the: St. Louis star. |. failed to swell his avetage as leader of the National League batters in the, past week, although he kept up the pace by cracking out eight hits in his last six games, and retained his mark of a week ago—.327. His tota: base record is .231, made on 151 hits which include thirty-one doubles, fourteen triples and seven homers. Eayrs of Boston, the pitcher-outfield- er, has become the runner-up to Hornsby, with an average of .358 made in fifty-two’ games, compared with Hornsbys 103 games. Roush of Cincinnati is next with 332 and Ni- cholson fourth, with .328. ; Cy Williams, the Philadelphia slug- ger bagged a brace of homers in the past week, and tops the circuit drive hitters with thirteen, Max Carey, the fleet-footed Pittsburgher, added a pair of stolen bases to his string and is showing the way to the base steal- ers with 38 thefts. Bancroft, New York, is the best run-getter, with 68. Other leading matters: J. Smith, St. Louis, .325; Williams, Philadel- phia, .325; Konetchy,:,Brooklyn, 324; King, New York, .323; Young, New York, .322; Hollocher, Chicago. 318: flash, in the Olympic sprints.
