Jupt now to f.-if up tlie American team
In a few words, It Is strongest in the
kurdlrs. sixteen pounds shot, hammer, pole
Fault and standing: Jumps, weak in the
fllKtapce runs and only middling: In the
sprint, middle distances, discus and run
ning jumps, and with not the slightest
thanoe in the spear throwing or walking
races.
Taking the events In rotation the sprints
rome first. America has no wonder for
the 10ft meters nowadays, that Is a man
ho like Wefers could give yards to his op
ponents and who could at once be put down
as a dead sure thing for the hundred
holder on the phenom class and at their
Very best have only a fighting chance to
core. Calculating the possibilities from a
peed test seemingly the foremost man on
the team Is W. W. May. Illinois uni
versity, with his record, of nine and four
Jlfths seconds for the 10 yards, his figures
for the 100 meters being only conjecture.
It is true that Hector, with his record of
ten and four-fifths seconds for the
meters, looms up, but then he showed
that he Is no repeater, that he knows
nothing of starting, ar.d Into the bargain
Is a nervous fellow, liable to go wrong
at any moment. Still men like Rector
Very often do the opposite of what their
temperament would convey and the Vir
ginian may maintain' his Bpeed right
through to the final.
On his last outing Robertson of the Irish
American Athletic club was beaten In poor
lime, and In order to bo at all within hail
ing distance of the front rank he will have
to Improve yards before July 13. If Sher
man of Dartmouth should round back Into
his form of early spring he will show well
nd In much the same box are Huff,
Thlcago, and Whitham, Pennsylvania.
After all things have been slied up Cart
mell of Pennsylvania Is the most likely to
jmll through the two round of trials, the
semi-final and final, without having his
eolnrs lowered. He Is a seasoned cam
paigner. Is accustomed to the English
weather and the change of atmosphere
Should not bother him as much as the
ethers.
Climate ana Time.
It Is a well known fact that no sprinter
has recorded as fast time In England aa In
America, the conclusion being that there
Is at least a fifth of a second between the
two countries. Cartmell'B visit to. the other
aide last year Is the most recent Illustration
cf the theory. The Pennsylvania man left
this shore In great fettle and able at any
time, to reel off the hundred in nine and
four-fifths seconds, yet singularly enough,
he was beaten by J. W. Morton, the Eng
lish champion, In the ridiculously slow
time of ten and ' four-fifths seconds,
peveral times afterward Morton beat the
Quaker, but toward the close of the season
Cartmell won a race when it was said that
the. Britisher had gone stale. Report from
the land of the Suxon has It that Morton is
away off Ins old form. If Morton should
fall the Englishmen will fall back on J. P.
tieotge, the furlong champion, who is cap
able of about ten and one-fifth for the
hundred.
From Ireland there Is word of a new
wonder by the name of R. J. Roche, the
younger brother of P. J. Roche, the Irish
champion sprinter. East year the younger
bad a few airings and on each occasion ex
hibited a rare turn of speed, but this year
It seems he Is still faster. His latest ap
pearance was at the spring meet of the
Queens college. Cork, where he was
credited with nine and three-fifths seconds
for the 100 yards. There was no mention
made of the weather conditions, but per
haps Roche had the aid of a breexe. The
older Roche has done ten and one-fifth
aeoonds for the 100 yards, and as both
Will be In (he 100 meters at the Olympiad
the visitors will have ample opportunity to
get a line on the Irishman.
On paper the really fastest sprinter the
Americans will meet Is Knut Llndberg, the
Swedish champion and holder of the world's
record for the loO meters of ten and three
fifths seconds, made at Stockholm last fall.
That the performance was genuine there Is
little doubt, for aoon afterward in the In
ternational meet, Llndberg easily beat J,
W. Morton in eleven and one-fifth seconds
Llndberg la also speedy for the 100 meters.
having done twenty-two and three-fifths.
but the best man here is Cartmell, who
. should, bar accident, scratch home In front
of J. P. George, the Englishman. Whit
ham la a good reliable man In this event
and he should be in the hunt at the finish.
Par the 400 Meters.
Picking the winner of the 400 meters Is
mora or less of a problematical task at
this moment. If all goea well with Lieuten
ant Halswell. the ex-quarter-mll English
champion, ha should be first past the post,
but only time oan reveal whether he can
round into form. He pulled a tendon last
' year, and has been absent from the path
until lately, and on his first trial did some
thing like two minutes two seconds for
; tlie half mile and lately ran 40 meters in
; fifty and two-fifths seconds and auo yards
In one minute twelve and one-fifth sc-
nwda. When well wound up Halswell could
d forty-eight and two-fifths srevnds for
the too meters, and thes figures seem be
yond tie speed of any man on the Amer
ican team. Were Hlllman to devote his
attention solely to the 400 meters, he Is the
only man able to give Halswell a chase
for first money. In his recent quarter mile
race at Travers Island Hillman showed
something like forty-nine seconds for the
distance and that at least he could reach
the 400-meter post In forty-eight and four
fifths seconds, and these figures mean that
Hlllman Is as fast now aa of yore.
The tryout for thhi event at Philadelphia
showed that Taylor. Pennsylvania and
Atlee, Princeton, are pretty evenly matched
and good for about forty-nine and feur
flfths seconds at the very slowest. B th
may do a little better In England. Outside
of Halswell the foreigners billed for trouble
In this race are very few, and these few
are not known to be extra speedy. In the

English tryout s a couple of weeks ago
first place in the 4i0 meters was won by
A. Patterson of Sheffield In the poor time
of fifty-one and three-fifths seconds, bat
thlB is no sam'plo of what might be de
veloped out of the Engllah championship,
the pick of which will go to the rcratch
in tho Stadium. Probably E. H. Montague
of the London Athletic club will he o.ie
of these, for ho ran fairly for the quar
ter all through last season, the English
championship being one of his best races.
Nothing very formidable In this line comes
from Ireland or Scotland..
On tho continent the fatest man appears
to bo Bellln de Coteau' of the Socleto Ath
letlque de Montrouge France, the present
French record holder and champion and
whose bejt time for the 401 meters Is fifty
seconds. The best Swede is C. A. Toren,
who has done fifty-one and seven-tenths
seconds, though In last year's champion
ship K. Stenberg of Ooteberg won in fifty
two and four-fifths seconds. Exactly the
same figures have been credited to Gcargj
Bank, the Norwegian champion, whilo R.
Stenberg, the Finnish record holder. Is two
fifths of a .second faster. J. Runge, who. It
will bo remembered, came to St. ' Louis
In 1904, has the German record, with fifty
one and one-fifth seconds and the Belgian
record Is fifty-three and one-fifth seconds
by V. Jacqucmln. Tin r f-houlr" be no fear
of any stiff opposition i'nmi the Hungarians
In this event, as 55. ?'e.-terky, the cham
pion, has only done fl.'.y-"--iir and fiur
flfths seconds. The Itun-'im champion,
Paul Lid van, is still slower, his record be
ing fifty-five and two-fifths ei conds. There
Is not the least fear but N. A. 'Men lam,
Chicago; J. C. Carpenter. Cornell; H. P.
Ramey, Chicago, or W. C. Prcut, Boston,
of the American team can defeat the rest
of the continental cracks.
In the 800-Meter Rare.
The goo meters is bound to be ouc of the
best contests on the program and with
every possibility of the Olympian record
belrg knocked sky high. Several of the
wise ones who are good at picking the win
ners think thut with 8hppard first place
Is the easiest sort of a cinch for America.
If there was anything to warrant that
Sheppard will do one minute fifty-four
seconds for the S00 meters In England It
would be a safe gamble that he would have
a fair chance of the event. Hut there Is
a good precedent to go by that the Irish
American Athletic club runner will not
clock ns fast limn abroad as at home. No
American ever yet did, not even the great
Lon Myers, who tried It more than once
and who always found that he was a sec
ond or two faster In America than In
England, Perhaps Shepard may upset the
theory, but It is hardly likely.
The foremost English entry In the race
will be H. Just of Cambridge university,
and he will have as a second string Falr-balrn-Crawford
of Dublin university, the
present English and Irish champion. On
a cold, raw day last March and on a soggy
track. Just ran tha half mile in one
minute and fifty-five and four-fifth
seconds, the event being the an
nual varsity match between Oxford and
Cambridge, and a thing to be remembered
was that the Cantab had no one to push
him nor was he puffed or striding badly
when he crossed the finish line. Just is
a big, raking fellow standing six feet high
and Is said to move along with a fine free
stride. Falrbarn-Crawford has a record
on grass of one minute fifty-seven and
one-fifth seconds, made last year,
and Is reported to be much faster
this season, so that the man who
lands In front of either the Dark Blue or
the Trinity man will have no easy task
before him.
Of the other American selections Coe,
Michigan, and Jones, Pennsylvania . seem
the most reliable. Paul Pilgrim, who did
such fine work two years ago at Athens,
may find his form at the right time and
again surprise the critics by doing the un
expected. Very likely J. D. Light body will
devote his attention to the lunger distance.
Coe Is a good half miler and if he should
happen to strike a favorable day will be
well up with the leaders, and the same
might be said of Jones and of Bromllow of
the Irish-American Athletic club. An er
ratic sort of a starter In this event from
abroad will be U. N. Morphy of Dublin
university, holders of the Irish record of
one minute fifty-three and four-fifths sec
onds. When the notion takes blm he U
liable to run a smashing race and the very
next time out he is Just as liable to be
rotten; therefore, should he hit the Stad'um
in the right mood, he will be up with lha i
van.
The best of the Continental delegation
will be Kriatian Hel'strbm. bolder or the
Swedish records for &. 10 and 1,000 meters,
and It Is now reported that he is good for
1:M for the middle distance. He has been
a resident 1 of England for the' last year
or so and will have the same advantage
over our men as have the Englishmen.
France will be represented by li. Deloge,
who haa covered the distance on one min
ute fifty-nine and one-fifth seconds last
year, and it Is said that he la much faster
this season. The second string for the
French will be Pouillot, nearly aa good a

ihan the Frenchmen on paper, bin the
rating may be reversed when they meet.
O. Delarge, the Belgian champion, is
rather blow for this event, his time in last
year's championship being two minutes
twenty-five and two-fiftli seconds.
The distance was not run at the Hun
garian track and field meet last yetir, but
B. Hollies won the half mile In the slow
time of two minutes nirtw seconds. There
is no Russian or Finnish record for the 800
meters, but W. Lundstrom's of forty-nine
and four-fifth seconds, which Is not very
had. 'Looking at the event now from an un
biassed standpoint, America has only a
chance for a place, and should Sheppard
como In front of Just it will be the deed of
his life.
Ilnlstead a High Grade Chance.
America's strongest hope In the l.EOfl
meters will be Ha'.stead of f'ornell, for his
race in the tryouts was conclusive evlder.ee I athon race at Greece two years ago, and

that here he is a distance man of the first
water. The time of four minutes one-flth
second beat all records on this side of the
waler, but If the Englishmen are true to
their traditions, the figures will not cut
much ico In the Stadium. In the English
tryouts H. A. Wilson of the Hallamshlre
Harriers beat this record of Halstead's by
two-fifTis of a second and he Is not even
classed amor.g the second raters on hs
own soli. The man to keep an eye on for
the event Is G. Butteifield of the Darling
ton Harriers, the present EngllBh mile
champion and a man with a record of four
minutes eighteen and two-fiftha seconds for
the mile. This rate of traveling would
who has done some fine racing since, Is the
of four minutes twenty anil three-fifths
seconds.
But the Swedes are on tho ground al
ready with two men much better than
Svanberg, who this time will be reserved
for the longer distances. The new ones are
E. BJorn and E. Dahl. both of Stockholm,
and they are said to he much speedier than
j their public performances would Indicate.
In the international meeting tasi yar ai me

elven and nin i-tenths seconds and BJorn
was close on his heels. The German try
outs did not bring to light anything epeedy,
the record of Braum of Munich being four

five seconds for the 1,500 meters, and per
haps when Butterfield guagese his race fir
that exact distance, he will lower the rec
ord to three ' minutes fifty-two seconds.
A few others not quite as good as But

It Is hard to see where anybody else but
the Britons will have a chance to score, a man In the race named C. Hefferon, who
J. McGough Bellpouston Harriers, who Is a at the very best will hardly prove dar-ger-strong

mile. With regard to the placing of Light
body, Chicago; Dull and Rowe, Michigan,
and Sullivan, the Irish Amateur Athletic
club, the other American selections In this
event, it is hard to say what they will do.
Lightbody has never been headed for the
distance, a fact which adds greatly to hlH
credit, though he certalr-Iy never met any
man of the Butterfield caliber during his
career. Dull and Rowe are good men and
well Inside the 4:30 class for the mile, but
Sullivan will, In all probability, find the
heavy English atmosphere a little too much
for him.
Kie-SIMe a Forlor nllope.
What America will get out of tlie five
mile Is little better than a forlorn hoie.
If Bellars, New York Athletic club, the top
notch Yankee selection, expects to be any
where near the leaders at the 'finish he will
have to show more than a minute faster
than his tryout. His time at Philadelphia
was twent-Bix minutes forty-four seconds,
rather poor going when compared with the
English tryouts of Wight in twenty-five
minutes twenty-lax and two-fifths seconds.
It Is hard to figure where Eisele, New York
Athletic club; Bonhag, Irish Amateur Ath
letic Club, and Trubc, New York Athletic
club, will be wiieo the winner hits the
out of the woods over there. The best Old
World timber topper appears to be K.
Powell of Cambridge university, and he Is
two-fifths of a second behind the Yankees.
Each of the American trio Is credited with
a record of fifteen and one-fifth
seconds, but Shaw's style of hur
dling should prove safer over the En
llsh obstacles. He Jumps higher and
cleaner than either Smithsoii or Garrels,
and as the English hurdles will be pegged
into the ground Shaw will be less liable to
fall. The man who happens to strike a
hurdle In England never escapes a header.
Hlllman and Bacon, -the men allotted to
the 400-meter hurdle, will meet with a de
cidedly stlffer proposition from J. B. Den
sham, the Englishman. The race over
there will be run on grass, and this means
that the American will come nowhere near
the time done In Philadelphia.
In the 1,600 meters relay race America
has a good fighting chance and the out
come depends on how Sheppard and Tay
lor compare with Halswell and Just. If
the middle distance men from here are
able to hold the Saxons the sprinters
should be able to do their part and victory
should go to the Stars and Stripes. The
three-mile team race Is a moral certainty
for the Britishers, with Sweden a good
second, America and France fighting It
out for third.
The two walking events can be dealt
with quite easily. With such crack heel
and toe experts and champions as Earner,
Thompson, Youmans, Carter and Harrison
available England will have the softest
kind of a Job to win' all three places.
Marathon a Gness.
The Marathon rare of twenty-five miles
from the royal grounds at Windsor to the
Stadium Is by far the most Important event
on the program. It is the one race requir
ing stamina and speed above all others.
To dissect the probable result Is not an
easy task, for there Is such a broad field
for accident. But the thing not to be for
gotten is that the Englishmen hae the ad- j If.uaiym.T'W
vaiuaHe, lur every loan au ni uu uniMiea
to be a starter has already been over the
course. Several have shown good time, the
best being Duncan, who won the big trial
given ly the Polytechnic Hirilers and his
performance was considerably enhanced by H
the fact that the Saturday previous he hnd
won the national ten miles championship.
The English team has not jet been made
known, but along with Duncan there la
some fine material to draw from In Rob
ertson, the national cross-country chain
field events. For Instance, no such quartet
of pole vaulters ever represented any coun
try as Dray and Gilbert, Yale; Bcllah, San
Franclsro, and Jacobs. Chicago, all better
than twelve feet, and It will be the biggest
sort of a surprise if the whole nine points
are not tallied for the Yankees. There Is
only one thing that might Interfere with
the scoop and that Is the rules of vaulting.
The contestant in England is allowed tt
climb the pole, so there Is a remote chance
that some freak may slide in from Japan
or elsewhere and clambor up the stick t
a height of fourteen feet or thereabouts.
Outside of this possibility the other troubte
some points are Soderstrom of Swe len,
who can beat twelve feel, and the Cana
dian, who. It is claimed, can climb still
higher. Oouder, the French champion, a
strong twelve-foot man. Is not In competi
tion Just now.
With men liko McGrath. New Tork Ath
letic club; Flbnagan, Irish Amateur Ath
letic club, and Glllls. Nw York Athletic
club, and Taibott, Irish Amateur Athletic
dub, as a substitute, it Is hHrd to see
how any of the old world hammer throw
ers will have the least chance. Nicholson
of Scotland is the present charnpion. About
162 feet will be his limit, ami these figures
will not even extend the Americans. Ralph
Rose of San Frain Isco is a 10) to 1 on
chance for the sixteen-pound shot and
should win to a certainty und with a new
Olympic record to boot. Coe, Boston Ath
letio affoclatlon, and Oarrels. Chicago Ath
letic association, will have the other two
places at their mercy. Klrkwood, the Eng
lish champion, Is not much better than
forty-five feet. Dennis Horgan, who has
been In Ireland for some time, Is said to
be In good trim and if he lands at the
scratch showing any of his old-time form
he may come In for a third.
There should be some big work In the
discus free style, that Is, throwing from
the circle with a turn. For some time
past Garrels has been practising with the
new style discus and Is reported doing
all sorts of records. At any rate, Garrwla
will have lite satisfaction of meeting Sher
idan and Dearborn, and for once a mooted
question will be settled, whether Garrels
or Sherklan Is the better man. To capture
first place will be rather hard especially
In the face of Jacrvlnen, the "big Finn,"
and his world's record of 14.1 feet four
Inches made last year. Sweden has a good
man In John Falkenberg. who hss thrown
12 feet two Inches, and the Hungarian!
beast of another good one In K. Hslmos,
whose best mark Is 12S feet six and one.
half Inches. The Greek style depends
latgely upon what the English officials
might term a fair throw. If the out and
out Greek rule Is enforced and Georgantaa
of Alliens is on the spot be will win with
a throw of about 110 feet, but should un
restricted arm action be permitted It will
be a tossup between Jaevlnen, Garrels,
Dearborn and Sheridan, first place moat
likely going to the Finn. '
For the Jatnpa.
To figure on the running broad Jump la
merely a guess. If Peter O'Connor of
Ireland Is there and with any of his former
snap he will win. and the english champion
ship on July 4 will t-u whether he Is or not.
Mellander of Sweden is doped for big things
and now supposed to be clearing twentjr
four feet or thereabouts. In this event
the Europeans will have the chance of ee
Ing a real live redskin In his war paint,
for Frank Mount' Pleasant, the Carlisle
Indian, will be a contender and he should
be close on the winner. If his leg proves
strong Dan Kelly should win with O'Con
nell. New York Athletic club, Cook.
Cornell, and the Indian fighting for tha
places.
The running high Jump looks like a win,
for Con Leahy of Ireland, who Is said t
be clearing six feet five Inches In practice,
at his home In the Green Isle. Sweden haa.1
It Is said, a man who Is getting over six
feet three Inches, and between him and.
Porter, who is good for the same height,-'
there should be the keenest sort of a tussle.
Tho candidates for the hop, step and Jump
from this side can hardly be rated good
enough for tho Irish brigade If they turir)
out In force for the competition. Bresnl
han, the champion, can clear forty-nine.
feet under the poorest conditions, and If
Iieahy and O'Connor, who were first and
second at Athens, should try they will shut
out all others.
Ttay Ewry should land the two standing
lumps for America, though he Is liable to be
well extended In the high Jump by L.
Dupont of France. At the International -meet
at Stockholm last fall the Frenchman '
cleared five feet one Inch, so that Ray'5
mond will have no soft thing, like at
Athens. Killers and Adams will be valua
ble second strings to Ewry. '
The Swedes should have a monopoly of
the points In the Javelin. Erik Lemming,'
who won with a new world's record two"
years ago, has now moved the mark up to
ISO feet two Inches. At the German try.
outs it was reported that the winner sent
the spear 20 feet, and If this proves to-,
be correct and he tcpeats the throw In
England. Germany will surely be credited-
with first place. Finland has a good man
In U. Aaltduen, who has a record of 164
feet.
To calculate the probable outcome of the
points on the basis of five points for first, I
three for second and one for third, tha
figures show a peculiar result. Allowing
that America will win all the points In '
six events, that l In the hurdles, shot,
hammer, pole vault, standing high and'
broad Jumps, and with points In the sprints,
middle distances and other events, still
England shows to be a winner. The
margin in favor of the Britishers Is some
thing like ten points. Of course It Is all;
guess work, but the dope figures that waf(
now.

I Duncan, the English f jur and tern miles
champion, and John fcvanbeig. the owedisli
champion. The pair met twite last year,
the distances being four, and five miles,
and on both occasions the Swede won.
The time of the five miles was twenty-four
minutes forty-seven and three-fiths sec

only once been beaten by an amateur, and
that was when Shrubb made his world's
record of twenty-four minutes thirty-three
and two-fifths seconds.
With such men as Duncan and Svan
berg on the path il can eaxily be imagined
what the puce will be and what chance a
twenty-six-mlnute man will have for a few-

I'nderwood, Deakin, Pearce and several
others.

a nice even gait and not too fast at the ;
