(Our Special Correspondent with the ‘American Olympic Team.) FTER a careful study of re ports of all the foreign ath- letic meets, including the try outs held in different countries, I fail to see anything that should shake the confidence of our men.

Many of the champions of four years ago hav dropped out, but new men have up who are able, in almost case, to fill their places, and in many events to better all former records, Among the world's record holders on our team are Sheppard, 800 metres; Kiv- 1,600 metres; Jones, mile; Scott,) 0,000 metre: (Seek shot; MoGrath, hammer; Wrigh' pole-vault; Duncan, discus, one hand; and Horine, high jump.

Gozens of others who are s0 close to th champions that in any moet they are likely to supplant them by making new World's best marks in their events. European athvetes have been coming up wonderfully. The different countries have adopted American methods of coaching and training, with the result that they have developed some remark- able athletes, In spite of this fact I Ddelieve that we should be able to win more events than all the rest of the world put together. AMERICA OUTCLASSED IN JAVE- LIN THROW. ‘The ‘let of events we are likely to win is so Jong that it is better to men- tion those few that are at least doubt- ful.

United States atea Comenlenioner Confident We'll Win, but Thinks Swedes Will Give Us a Hard Bun Because of Condi- tions Favoring Them. OME hundred miles out at sea to-day the American Olympic team aboard the chartered steamer Finland is beginning sea training for the supreme test at tockholm, Upon the success achieved during this stage of preparation for the games will largely depend Amer ica’s chance of victory, but {t 1s not believed there will be any dangerous falling off in condition during the journey, Accordingly, as the boa sailed, there was universal confidenco that America will repeat her London Olympiad triumph. Upon sailing James B, Sullivan, Un States Commissioner to the Olympic games, reasserted his beltef that America will surely win, In say- ing this, however, he declared himself mindful of the possibility of a hard fight between Sweden and America, but |e there is little danger of Eng- land or the other countries pressing | this nation’s athletes, (CRAIG COMPARED WITH FOR- EIGN SPRINTERS. | “Ajthough I am confident we will overcome it,” said Mr, Sullivan, ‘we should not overlook the fact that Swe den enjoys a distinct advantage over every visiting team, and especially the United States athletes, who have #0 far to journey. There would be no question as to the result if the games were to be held in this country, but experience has shown that in every trip abroad the American athletes had allen oif somewhat In condition, climate and en- There is no rea- n to believe We Will suffer In this re- t this year any more than tn the | past, as we will do our utmost to off- vet the effect of change, and because our athletes at the present tne make u stronger outfit than we have ever accurate information as to what the athletes of o' countries ha’ been doing this year, We can judge by their last-year records, howeve! the fact that more records have fallen in thie country this year and such of this year's performances abroad have heard about. Summed up the sit. uation js most encouraging to us. “While any number of things may happen to upest calculations, to my mind things stand about as follows: We should have no trouble whatever in th 100 metres. Craig turned this distance in 10 46 and should easily defeat Ran, who won the Swedish championship last In the 200, 400, half and mile there » none better than the stars wi are sending. I consider our hurdlers the strongest half dosen in this event that can be found anywhere on earth, and in this event it should be ‘one-two- three.’ In the team races it is extrem ly doubtful if any nation will surpass us. We are weak in throwing the jave- lin and will probably lose the walk, in which we have only one entry, @ supplementary. In the discus, right and left hand, there may be opposition, but Duncan will surely run away with the beat hand diacus throw. Rose and McDonald will undoubtedly be in a class by them- selves In the shot, with Philbrook Whitney as strong second string men, We have a{x pole vaulters and every one should prove the master of any the other nations send, In the stand- ing high Jump we wopld have been up against it had not the Adams boys made such a sacrifice to make the trip, With these stars in this event we should pick up points here, Fletcher ot Notre Dame should help also, There may be trouble in the hop, step ani jump, although Brickley of Harvard will undoubtedly give a g00d account of himself, In the hammer McGrath will most probably take the sure of Flannagan, With Horine in the running high Jump we know that event is safe. ‘The Adams boys will take care of th broad jump. So far we know no ‘one on the other side is doing twenty- three feet in this event, “From this !t may be seen that we we are weak, and except Swedes’ natural ad nothing to fear, Of cow know how much Ern! improved the athletes there since took ohargo a couple of years ago, for the there ts we don't | sent to an Olympiad I think there is | ttle to fear, | +a haw been atMewt to obtain and they also have the advantage of being able to place the limit number, the German, and Lindberg, the Swede, a 4|t stronger mi are strong in many more events than | 4. you jertuberg bas ead has in @ race; it is how many finish in the point division that coun' Mr. Sullivan's remarks prompted & Httle exoursion into the records, and if stat'atics count his remarks are am- ply justified, The Swedish records show that until this year American athletes wei ‘The only good mark in ing the Swedish champ year was in the 100-metr and the home stars will have to travel faster than they did in that e beat America ae the i iraecee: 6 ft. 9 in—only 11 inches less shown he can do, shot and M8in the hammer, The di cus throw was won with e heave of 1: peat the pole vault with a soy of it tt.

As far as performances go, judging from these figures, England seems a more Mkely contender, but that country's athletes have a trip and ahange of climate to figure on, too, 90 Mr, Sullivan's belief that Sweden wil! y be warranted.
