SP America Facing OTHER NATIONS PLANNING TO MAKE GREAT EFFORTS Gen. Allen, Executive Officer of United States Com- mittee, Brings Back Warning—Enthusiastic Over Preparations France Is Making. N T. Allen, former commander of the executive officer of the American Olympic committee, who has returned He has been making arrangements in Paris to house America’s athletes during the contest. The general declared that the United States must raise gopular subscription to transport its 300 odd competitors, to train and | ouse them in France and to bring them home. from abroad. “They are beginning to get very busy in France: the government is waking up, and we can expect strong competition from the French,” said Gen. Allen. “Count Clary and Count Castelaene and various other men of that type are showing deep in- n not only staging the most ful Olympic games since their revival in 1896, but are also in earnest in their efforts to turn out a strong French team—a winning team. The city of Paris has contributed a million francs and the government has added six million francs to the fund being raised to accomplish this result. Every Ome Interested. “In England,” added Gen. Allen, “every one from the king to the kitchen police is becoming interested in Great Britain's success in the com- Ing games. The British Olympie committee has made an appeal far £40,000 and it is assured it will get it.

Allen was ve: enthusiastic over the plans that have practically been decided on for the housing url the American athletes in France. “Of the s=everal sites investigated, there are two in the St. Cloud region which | 1 think will serve our purpose best," ! sald Gen. Allen. “One of these will be selected by the members of the ' executive committee now inyFrance with Col. Thompson, and a Mecision will be announced shortly The most desirable of the two will give the American athletes a beauti- ful chateau about eight or nine miles from the Olympic stadium, on high | ground. Adjoining the chateau is a half-mile track which can be used for some of the training, or when the coaches do mnot want to send the athletes to the training track at Colombes. The athletes will travel back and forth to stadium by auto- mobile. STRENUOUS GIRLS’ SPORT SCORED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY WALTER CAMP. NGLAND'S present furore over the extent to which women may take up athletics will soon reach this side of the water, and, accord- | ingly, we may look for the vicws of extremists. Dr. Arabella Kenealy, one of the land, contends that athletic women and seldom sons. But if they produce sons, she declares, the children are qelicate and puny, and of an inferior A group of prominent British woman educators, at a recent meeting, warned the nation that in view of playing boys' games.

Crichton Brow: debate by saying that s as mnecessary entered the “physical ex- for girls as ve, but there must be regard for anatomical and physiological con- siderations,” whereupon Miss Annie Radman, director of the Michain School of Physical Development. de- red that muscular development in &irls did not make for elasticity. And Mrs. Roger Watts, an expert on polse, asserted that feminine muscle de- stroys rather than makes poise. To cap the climax the group of educators named a committee to draw up a program for girls’ physical de- velopment along the lines of danc- ing, swimming, fencing and, last but not least, housework. Those who read these criticisms without due consideration will appre- hend much harm. In certain re- spects the critics are correct, but it should be remembered that it is a good deal of a job to persuade nature, in short order, to put the same kind of muscles on a woman as she does on a man, Overindulgence in athletic sports by women would undoubtedly in- jure the race, but with the excep- tion of here and there an example of extreme physical development the great’ mass of girls and young women will undoubtedly take exer- clses, games and sports in modera- tion and thereby reap much good. Muscic-bound ~ women would cer- tainly be unattractive sights and that will be one of the reasons why the mania will not spread far. WALKER SCORES K. 0.; SIGNS TO FIGHT GREB NEWARK, N.

LOCAL GOLFERS FAIL AND IT BRINGS VICTORY| °F MARATHON MARK Fought Double Battle to Win Highest Honors in Game—Shows Complete Control of Himself in Play-Off for Championship. BY W. R. McCALLUM. R a golf club. He has conquered himself. The temperamental lad of Merlon, Inverness and Oakmont has grown into the man who accepts the whims of fate with poise. In conquering that temper Jones has gained himself the finest golf game in the world—a game that the professionals them- selves admit is unbeatable, not only from the standpoint of goMing form, but from execution. Even when Bobby hooked an iron shot out of bounds last Saturday afternoon at the sixteenth hole, when every stroke meant the winning or losing of a championship, he showed no sign of petulance. Instead, he made one of the finest' comebacks in the history of the game. Displays His Mettle. iron shot at the sixteenth has not been sufficiently recognized. It still stands back of the marvelous shot at the eighteenth, which won the title from®Bob Cruickshank in the playoff, but under the circumstances it was'a great shot. Bobby had hook- ed his ball out of bounds.” He had to play four from a point 190 yards from the hole. He might have taken eight. and even if he reached the green he probably would take six. But that high iron shot wound up by the hole- side and Bobby was down in five. Had he lost his temper he would have lost the championship. Jones' six at the eighteenth Satur- day afternoon was the joint result of a bad shot and the dilatory tactics of 4 lot of slow-thinking officials. Bobby himself sald it was a badly hit shot. but the delay incident to the playi of his third shot was the fault of the tliclals. Bobby was dog-tired as he came into that iron shot to the last hole. ~ The ball was hooked and brought up against a post used to fonce in the thirteenth tee. The post ind the binding ch had to be moved. Bobby sat down, lit a cigar- ette and waited elght minutes for the s to remove it. He was “hot.” professionals say, and, sitting ting, he became just a tired the time he was ready to ¥ the shot to the green he had loat dash which had heretofore car- acterized his play.

JONES, JR, of Atlanta, the new open golf champion of the United States, the youngest holder of the title, today returned to his home folk.

Jones and several of his friends who siw that wonderful shot at Inwood Sunday which brought the title to the twenty-one-year- old player, passed through Washington late yesterday afternoon. Jones will be one of the most popular champions who ever swung Crowning seven years of national competition by winning the greatest prize of them all, he has gained an even greater victory. early and was up Sunday morning putdng in front of the clubhouse. I met Bob Cruickshank in Far Rock- turday night, and_he was a ca¥ed Scotman. He pald a tribute | to Bobby Jones and.said: “We will have a great match tomorrow. “If Bobby wins he will be a great champion. " You know, 1 never should have had my chance. Bobby should have won on the eighteenth.” They are both fine sportsmen, one an amateur and the other a profes- sional. To one the victory meant thousands of dollars—an earning ca- pacity quadrupled in a year. To the other it meant fame—the crowning of an ambition. He was the winner. He couldn’t capitalize his fame, but Bob Cruickshank could. Cruick- shank, however, will get hls out of the championship. To tie means thou- sands to him. As Jones holed the five-inch putt that won the title for him he pressed the ball into the hands of Francis Ouimet, his mentor and friend, who had followed him all day, helping and sympathizing, although not giving ords of advice as to the game. ‘Keep 1t, Francis. Don't let it get away from you.” Bobby sald. When Cruickshank had played five shots at the eightecnth in the play- off and his ball was not yet in, while Jones lay ten fect away in two, Cruickshank walked over to him to shake hands in congratulation. “Not yet,” Bobby said. The accumulation of years of disappointment was too much. His ball was not yet in. He walked up and putted to within five Inches of the cup and then holed out Then it was al] over. Had Bobby ing out he would have be fied. He knew better than cumb to the excitement of ment.

BUCHAREST, July 17.—Against strong opposition from the anti-for- eign clique, which opposed the proj- ect for two years, Col. Charles Greble ot Philadelphia has succeeded in bullding a complete athletic fleld on the outskirts of Bucharest. The place known as the Bucharest Country Club goes far beyond the usual lim- its of a club; it is really a miniature city. Through American enterprise, the first golf course, the first tennis court and the first base ball diamond in the Balkan countries thus have been opened. In addition there are a clubhouse, a polo fleld, shooting ranges, running track, swimming pool and a lake for boating and fishing. King Ferdinand recently dedicated the grounds, drove the first golf ball; Queen Marie started the initial polo match and Prince Carol served the first tennis ball. Young Queen Maris of Jugoslavia threw the first base ball in the game between the members of the American colony and the Ru- manian government staff. The object of the club is to afford recreation to members of the Ameri- can colony, but any Rumanian or for- eigner is €ligible to join. TYGERS RELEASE WELLS.
