OF TAKING CLASSIC RACE Confidence in Ability to Win Feature of Games Is Greater Than at Any Time Since Hayes Carried Off Honors in 1908. ¥ the Associated Press N W YORK, May 26—America’s hopes in i distance feature of the 1924 Olympic games at Paris in July, will be higher than at any time since the spectacular triumph of the marathon, classic Johnny Hayes sixteen years ago at London. That year, 1908. Hayes was victorious after Dorando, great Italian runner, collapsed when within sight of the finish. Overzealous officials helped Dorando across the line, but he was disqualified, and Hayes, the next finisher, was awarded first prize. One other American victory shows on the records of the seven Olympic marathons held since 189. That was in 1904, at St. Louis, when Hicks breasted the tape first in the ince 1908, however, no American L finished better than third, al- 1hough the wearers of the Stars and Stripes, as a whole, made a formidable showing at Stockholm fn 1912, In that race Gaston Strobino took third place, behind McArthur and Gitsam, ihe South Africans, while six other Yankee runners were in the first twelve finishers.

While chief hopes probably will be pinned on the Melrose star, Uncle Sam has two other brilliant runners in Charles L. Mellor of Chicago and Frank E. Wendling of Buffalo, a new- comer to marathon ranks. They fin- ished second and third, respectively, in the Boston tryout. Willlam J. Churchill of San Francisco and Carl Linder of Boston also are members of the team, while the sixth man will be chosen from Frank Zuna of New- J., and Ralph Willlams of Mass. who won this vear's Balti- more and Detroit marathons, was re- garded as the best of the pack until he dropped out of the Boston race because of stomach trouble.

The links was in fine condition for 50 early in the season, which has been unusually backyward, but it was heavy, precluding any roll to drives. The s0ggy condition made approach- ing good, and after a little experience did not bother the putts, assuming the ball could be cleaned of mud on the greens. A rule to that effect is urged by the players. Some of the players preferred to limber up on other courses where there was less congestion, while a few refrain from playing immediately be- fore a tournament. Thus far in practice no one has been able to equal the course record of par 71 for the 6,439-yard links.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, May 26.— All the best amateur golfers in Eng- land and Scotland have assembled at St. Andrews, the cradle of the noble game, for the amateur championships. There is only one visiting American among the 200 entrants, but inas- much as he has been beating par over both the old and new course, the British look upon him as a whole in- vasion by himgelf. No fanfare of journalistic trumpets hailed the coming of this American— Francis Brown of Honolulu—but as soon as the crowds of golf-loving Scots heard that there was a| “Yankee" over here who was out- | driving the prodigious Tolley they have been following his every step in droves.

It is now assured that the great structure will be completed and dedi- cated on October 18, with Michigan as the visiting eleven. At the present time the stadium {s more than two- thirds completed, and alumni and student subscribers have pald in the sum of $1,099,737.62. In other words, nearly 80 per cent of the amount 'due from subscrip- tions at this time has been pald. There is bound to be a certain shrink- age in any enterprise of this sort in the matter of original subscriptions. Death, business faflure and other causes have always to be considered. They have been factors in the Illinols stadfum drive. But the encouragling thing about the situatfon, the fine thing, was the manner in which alumni came through when they heard that the element of delinquency might be suf- ficlently formidable to prevent the completion of the arena.

Jack's ball struck well toward the top of the evergreen and then, dribbling down through the broad feather-like hori- zontal branches, finally lodged in one about seven feet above the ground. . He had gotten lots of punch into his ball, so that, notwithstanding his slice_and the obstruction furnished by the tree, he was only about 135 yards from the green. But nobody— possibly not even Jack—figured that he would be able to do more than get free of the pine,on his second shot. He stood directly beneath his ball and used a mashie niblick, striking with the flat of the club end. His eve was good and, fortunately for him, there were no traps between him and the flag.

Radio to The Gtar and Chicago Daily New PARIS, May 26—Sunday's soccer games were all that was necessary to prove that the eighth Olympiad will be a success. Not only France but’ all the westggn world now is beginning to enthuse over the meet. Among the 35,000 spectators who turned out to witness the games there was a large proportion of visit- from far distant countries like sthonia, Argentine, Turkey and Spain. All three of the separate stadiums in” which the encounters took place were able to boast of good attend- ance, despite threatening weather. Every newspaper in Parls—there are some forty of them—commented on the matches this morning. Great surprise was expressed at the way the United States triumphed over Esthonia, 1 to 0. superior play- Ing on the part of the latter mean- ing nothing before the superior training and speed on the part of the former, it was said. “These Americans are astonishing athletes,” sald Echo de Parls. “They scarcely play rugby or soccer at home, yet they succeed In classing themselves among the best here.” Other comments run along similar lines. In some cases there was a considerable element of envy mixed with surprise over the way in which America is upsetting sacred Euro- pean traditions. (Copyright, 1924.) By -— SINGLES NEAR FINISH IN M.

W YORK, May 26.—If things keep on, castern rowing will ulti mately come to be dominated by western coaches. The writer hears that Columbia, with a view to bucking up her rowing system, has been scanning the far west for an acquatic instructor who will do for the Morningside University what Leader has done for Yal trying to do for Harvard. L This search on the part of Columbia, it is understood. is more or les tentative at present, and is not designed to interfere with the plan of giving the present system opportunity of proving itself effective or otherwise. An outsider would venture the opinion that a wholesome support by the student body in the way prin- cipally of furnishing adequate ma- terial is the first necessity and that no instructor, whoever he may be, wherever he may hafl from, can get very far without it.
