Of the individual events, the 1 00-meter dash has the largest field, ninety-seven athletes, representing thirty-five nations; while the 400-meter relay is the most popular team contest, with 121 entries from twenty nations. resenti are r%‘r»ecrcd to score a clean-up. try—individual as well as team first seven goid medars a together. The two dashes, the 400-meter events attracting more than cight about fifty. T The marathon, the classic and con- cluding feature of the games, h SIXty-two entries from twenty-two nations. Aside from the six Ameri- cans who are generally accorded to have excellent chances in this event, the most prominent entries include Hannes Kolehmainen of Finland, vic- tor in 1 . but whose condition makes his succe gain doubtful: Juri Lossman of sthonja, who was second in 1920 and who is th favor- vl\e this year with man 21 Ouafi, French Moroccan crack, and Auguste Broos, Belgian. who was fourth at Antwerp, The Finns are pinning their chief hopes on Albin Stenroos. Hoff Is in Pole Vault. Despite previous word reaching the American camp, Charles Hoff, the Norwegian star, whom Lawson Rob- ertson pronounces the Rreatest all- around athlete in Europe, is entered in the pole vault, for which he holds the world record. The belief still prevails, however, that fnjury to his heel may keep him out of his favorite event and compel him to concentrate on the three others in which he is entered—the 400 and 800 meter runs and the decathlon, Now that Joie Ray has been with- drawn from the 1,500-meter run, in- terest in this event is centered on the prospective clash between Paavo Nurmi of Finland and Edvin Wide of Sweden, the sensational Scandinavian rivals who have had many close races, though Nurmi has been victorious. Both are also tered in the 5,000-meter run. Wide set a world record for the 3,000- meter run a year ago, when he cov ered the distance 8 minutes 30 2-5 Seconds. The £00-meter run, which ha drawn 67 entries from 27 nations, now is expected to develop the keen- est battle among the middle- tance men. It is predicted that the star American quartet—W. B. Richardson, S C. Enck, Ray Dodge and J. H encounter the stiffest en- Waters—will opposition from the Englishmen, Doug- las Lowe and G. H. B. Stallard, while Norway has Hoff and Sweden has Sven Lundgren. There will be added interest if Nurmi runs. Plan Opening Ceremonies. Details of the formal program of oceremonies and parade, which will for- mally usher in the cighth Olympic games Saturday, wers announced last night by the French Olympic com- mittee. Heading the procession of athletes representing 45 nations will be a notable array of international and Olympic dignitaries, including Presi- dent Doumergue of the Prince of Wales and the S Persia. South Africa heads athletic section with Argentin ond. The United States athletes wil be seventeenth in the parade, posi- tions being arranged alphabetically Oaths of loyalty on behalf of all com- petitors will be taken by George Andre, veteran French hurdler. The ceremony, which will include spaeches by President Doumergue and Count Clary—the latter president ot the French Olympic committee—be- gan at 3 o'clock. Four military bands will add color to the program. Rivals Practice Together. mericans and Finns, chief rivals. met yesterday for the first time dur- ing the workouts at the Colombes Stadium and mingled in a friendly Spirit on the battleground where they will fight it out for the world ath- letic supremacy. 8 The largest crowd which has as yet visited Colombes, including sev- eral hundred American enthustasts, Witnessed the practice of athletes of nearly all of the two score nations entered in the games, but the princi- pal attention was centered upon the Finns, who had their first workout aince their arrival Monday, and upon the Americans, who showed im- pressive form In the hardest two- hour workout they have as yet had here. Nurmi, who is entered in six events at distances from 800 meters to 10,000 meters, was among the first to take the track. He was quickly joined by Jole Ray, the American mile cham- pion, who gave the onlookers a thrill by carrying his Finnish rival at a fast pace in a 1.500-meter workout, whieh assumed the proportions of &n impromptu race. Ray, “under wraps,’ pulled out trom a little group of runners, Nurmi responding to the challenge and quickly following, moving easily with a_ machinelike stride, but not so smoothly as the title American. Rounding the last turn, they spurted Ray keeping two yards ahead to an informal finish, ‘then pulling up while the Finn kept on for several additional laps. Not Due to Clasl A meeting of these rivals at their favorite distances of 1,500 meters has been prevented, as Ray Is not en- tered in this distance, but it is likely that they will match strides in the 3,000-meter team race, one of the concluding features.

According to one source, she was suffering when she played Miss Ryar and the terrific pace to which she was forced at that time in order to win accentuated her iliness. She com- plained of pain after the match and had such a_high temperature yester- day that she consulted her doctors, with the result that she was ordered to_cease playing. Her withdrawal caused a sensation, and is regarded as improving the chances of Miss Helen Wills, the American champion, who now, if she disposes of Mrs. Phyllis Satterthwaite, will find facing her in the final round Miss Kathleen McKane, the British star, instead of the formidable Len- glen. Borotra's defeat of Richards was totally unexpected, as the young New Yorker had displayed sufficient strength to warrant the assumption that he would at least advance to the final round and probably carry off the honors of the tournament The story of the match. in short, was that Richards was off his gam while Borotra was very much his. In fact, the Frenchman displayed a brand of tennis which he had never before uncorked at Wimbledon, beat- ing Richards at his own specialty— volleying.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 2.— Sixteen players remained in the running for the western tennis singles champion- ship when third-round play opened here today. The eight seeded play- ers who have swept lightly through the preliminary rounds were expected to find the going more difficult in to- day's matches, and upsets were re- garded as highly probable. With boys' and junlnrl'_ play start- ing today, the tourney was to swing into full blast. Second-round matches in men's doubles and the third round of the woman's singles also were sched- uled. A. C. Chapin of Hyannis, Mass, picked by many to give Tilden an interesting fight for the title, was to get his first real test today when he met Alex Graven of Chicago. An- other match that the fans were look- ing forward to was that between Julius Sagalowsky, the Butler Col- lege star, who vesterday eliminated Ed Wilson, Western conference cham- pion, and Louis Kuhler of Cincinnati, one of the eight stars seeded in the draw. Tilden, Patterson and Schles- inger, the Australian pair, and Nor- ton of South Africa. the tourney fa- vorites, were scheduled for compar- atively easy matches today. \ N YN el ] \ 3 ) Capital Cigar & Tobacco Co, X ivania Ave. N.W. . 004 Pennsy] Y IMBLEDON, England, July 2—The Wimbledon lawn tennis championships today entered the clo: sensations, including the withdrawal of Mlle.

NEW YORK, July 2—How did Tommy Gibbons _steal the Jack Bloomfield fight in London from Bart- ley Madden? Looks as if it was done when Eddie Kane was abroad dick- ering with Carpentier for the Michi- gan City battle. Madden, when he was training for Wills, had an idea he had cinched the London engagement against the British light-heavy champlon, but it looks now as though he was mis- taken. If it is true Gibbons 15 to re- ceive $50,000 plus traveling expenses for fighting Bloomfield, he Is getting mighty good pay for what sizes up as an casy job. The_lant time Bobby Barrett and Lew Tendler met, the former was stowed away with body punches. He claimed they were low. and since every fighter who succumbs to a body waliop says that, the customers did not take him too seriously. But Barrett never did change his story. You could get a fight with him any time by denying that Lew did_not keep 'em up that night. Now he will have his chance to show that he is a better man than Tendler. If he does, the lightweight situation is going to assume a highly luminous appearance, even granting that in defeating Tendler. Bobby will not be defeating any lightweight. There have been few more per- plexing up-and-downers than Bar- rett. Some fair to middling boxers will smack him good and just when the fans are placing him well down in the minors he will bob up and beat some one like' Sailor Friedman or Nate Goldman. Goldman, by the way, was dicker- ing with Lew Tendler for another match and merely took on Barrett as a sort of workout bout for the more important affair.

They are Jimmy Robertson of Car- negie Tech. Harry Wilson of Penn State and Paul Liston, a member of the champion high school team of this district. Robertson and Wilson both have re- ceived all-American mention. They are fleet elusive backs. Liston also is a back, playing quarter on the title-winning Washington High School team last fall O long as the Olympic games continue to represent the peak of ins ternational athletic competition the names of two American ath- letes will linger in the memory of those who follow the turns of the cinder path. These two men reached the pinnacle of individual athletic brilliancy, one by winning four different events in one Olympic meet, the other by winning two events in four successive Olympic meets and one Ewry were the athletes who have in- seribed their names on the Olympic roll of honor. of Pennsylvania star in the late %0's, won ympiad at Paris in 1900, tape first in the 60-meter dash, the 110-meter high hurdles, the 200-meter low hurdles and won the broad jump. His performance is the only one on record in the history of the Olympic games where any one athlete won He breasted the dwry's triumph pressive becar is even more im- e it was achieved over a stretch of cight years. In 1900 he won the standing broad jump. the standing high jump and the standing hop, step and jump. He repeated this triple trfiumph at St. Louir in 1904 At Athens in 1906 the Olympic com- mittee eliminated the standing hop, step and jump, but Swry won the standing broad and high jumps for the third time with apparent ease. In London jn 1905 he won these two events again, passing out of inter- national competition at the conciu- sion of the London meet Two Triple Winners. There are many instances of atht letes winning two events in an Olym- pic meet and some who have won three events. Triple victories have been scored several times In Olympic annals, a trio of American stars performinz this feat at St. Louis in 1904, when this country swept the ficld. Harry Hillman of Dartmouth, a member of this year's Olympic coaching stafr, captured the 400-meter run and the 200 and 400 meter hurdles; Archie Hahn was crowned eprint champion with victories in the 60. 100 and 200 meter dashes, while Lightbody. mid dle distance crack, ran off with the 800 and 1,500 meter events and 2,500- meter steeplechase. One of the most remarkable “triples” and the last one on record was scored by Hannes Kolehmainen, Finnish distance star, at Stockholm in 1912, when he won the 5,000 an. 10,000 meter runs and the cross country race. Many Double Victorfes. Many double victories have been recorded, but the increasing tendency for athletes to specialize in event has reduced the versatility which formeriy was so prominent. Paavo Nurmi, great Finnish runner, wKo won the 10.000-meter run and cross-country race in 1920 at Ant- werp, may compete in the events this year, while Charles Hoff, Norwegtar holder of the world pole vault record and all-around star, may figura prominently in several events, but these performers are exceptions. —_— CARPENTIER-TUNNEY GO IS CARDED FOR JULY 24 NEW YORK.
