OLYMPIC GAMES TO START TO-DAY THE BVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 19229. POPP POPP DDL PPP PPD PPPOE THE RELIANCES - AMERICAN ATHLETES ALL FIT FOR OLYMPIC GAMES AT STOCKHOLM — Lawson Robertson Says He Never Saw Athletes Stand an Ocean Trip Better Than Men in Mike Murphy’s Charge. Copyright, 1912, by the Press Publishing Co. (The New York World), BY LAWSON ROBERTSON. (Evening World's Special Correspondent with the American Team.) Stockholm, July 6. O-DAY the big games begin, and our American boys are all fit for the struggle. I've travelled to other Olympic meets at Athens and London, but tn all my experience I've never seen the athletes stand} the ocean trip in better shape. This is due to the splendid care given the| mon on the Finland under Mike Mur-/| phy’s watchful eye, and the very un- usual training appliances fixed up on the steamer by order of Col! Thompson. J When we left New York all the men were tn fine shape, having been put on edge by the meets in which they competed during the last three weeks !n America. The best thing for some of them was a rest, and Mike Murphy ordered that there should not be any training during the first twenty-four hours at sea. Fortunately we had fine weather, so the athletes soon had their sea logs and felt anxious to work. On the first day out, June 14, only the fencers | trained, while the other athletes, brought together from all over America, Ypent the time in getting acquainted. They dined together in the second yabin saloon, while the passengers had the first cabin saloon. The big men of the team—Rose, McDonald, McGrath, Gillies; Duncan, Childs and myself— had a treble together in the middle of the room, and the others Promptly | dubbei us “the whales.” On the first day at lunch at the whales’ table the menu included broiled squab. When Gillies caught sight of one on Rose's plate he called the steward over and sald: “Say, old chap, bring me in ten! or twelve of them sparrows.” The laugh that followed helped some of the boys to forget the roll of the steamer. Gililes, with his dry humor, was! as good trainer. He kept those around him from doing too much ser- fous thinking.
