LONDON, July 30.-The svenia af the Olymplo games for which tha American athletes are suited, were reached this af ternoon, and the boys who had been wait ing at Brighton for their opportunity to try and win the championship In field sports fur America, are now having, their Innings. ' Chsrles M. Daniels of Jhe New Tork Athletic cluh, started the ball rollng by winning tho 101 meter swuu handsomely, but he was unable to get his team mate, 1 O. Rich, Brocikllne Swimming club, into place. In the standing broad Jump both Ray C. Ewry of the New York Athletic club, and Marlln J. Sherlrlan, Irish-American Athletic club reached the semi-final and In the first heat of that event Ewry won, Sheridan taking third place. Oeorse W. Oaklxlk of the Chicago Ath Mlo association won his heat In the hUh driving and when It came to tha loO meUr flat race, M. J. Cartmell, University of Pennsylvania; Cloughen, Irish-American Athletic club. New York; W. W. May. Uni versity of Illinois; I B. Stevens, Yale uni versity; William F. Hamilton, Chkago Ath letic association; H. J. Huff. Chicago Ath letic association; Lawsnn Robertson, Irish American Athletic club; D. R. Sherman, Dartmouth college, and J. A. Rector, .Uni versity of Virginia, all qualified lor the next round, where they will be pitted apalnst E. J. Duffy of South Afrloa, J. P. George, the English crack; R. L. Walker, South Africa; Duncan and. Morton, the United Kingdom, Kerr, Canada and Starke and Roche, United Kingdom. Rector beat R. G. MacLeod, the Cambridge blue, who had never previously been defeated. George N. Menhert, National Turnverln, New York, easily defented Press, UniteJ Kingdom, in their wrestling' match. I.lgntbody Is Defeated. In the ROD meters flat J. D. Llghtbody, University of Chicago, was beaten, but Melvln W. Sheppard, Irish-American Ath letic club, walked away from his opponents In his heat. J. P. Halstead. New York Ath lotlc club, also crossed the tape ahead of his competitors In his heat, while H. L. Coe, University of Michigan, gTeatly to the surprise of all, was defeated at the hands of Lunghi, Italy.. Coe, however, redeemed himself by running ahead of Dcnshanv, the British champion, In the 400 meter, hurdle, which was all the more surprising In' view of the fact that lie had just finished a'hard 800 meter race. .' I Few Americans went to the hurdles,, as most of them had Just run the 800 meters flat and the others had to reserve them sMves for the other heats fjt the' same event, which, for a reason best known to the Amateur Athletic association, came after the 400-meter hurdle. "Tne American Committee did not like this; arrangement, as It practically assured theUn4ted King dom success In the hurdles, -but It was use less to object; as a protest, In all probabll. Ity, would have been overruled. , George M. Menhort's wins In the wrest ling bouts must be credited .to American victories. . . . .

They remained eager and enthusiastic,' but the unfortunate weather ' prevented' their reaching that condition-afwhtoh they had aimed. Better weather wis promised' by the forecasters for this w?k, prediction which this morning, fioWewr,, looked like being unfilled, for -the arch'at-y contest, 'Con tinental style, and "the-. wrestling bouts began to the accompaniment of frequent showers. Good Crowd Watches Events. During the morning the semi-finals of the luO-mcler swim, for which Charles M. Daniels, New York Athletic club; Harry J. Hebner. Illinois Athletic club, and L. G. Rich, Brookllne Swimming club, had quali fied, was swum and the first heat of tha high diving event, for which George V. Galdslk, Chicago Athletic association was drawn, was carried out. The fipul of tha luo-meWr swim will be pulled off this af ternoon, this event, with the standing broad Jump, being the only final on the program, but the heats of the 100-meter flat, of which there are, fceveoteen; those of the 8uO-meter run, of which there are eight, and tho six heats of the 400-meter hurdles will keep things humming during the afternoon. Although the morning's at tractions were few, the cheapening of the seats has already drawn fruit and If the weather Improves there probably will be better attendances from now on. Satur day's crowd, which numbered ' between 40, DO and 60,000 persons, can hardly be re peated, however, ss those who filled the end stands then will not be able to come out for the ceremony of the distribution of prises on Saturday, and they are not free to see the games on any other day. American Athletes Do Well. The Americans did exceedingly well in the morning s events, both Daniels and Rich, the American swimmers, qualifying fur the final lm-meter swim, the former taking his heat easily. Harry J. Hebner, Illinois Athletic association, had a. slight lead when he was half way In the first heat of this event and looked like a winner, but unfortunately he steered a bad course and Dehalmay and Julin, representing Hungary and Swenden, respectively, passed htrq. In the catch-as-catch-can wrestling bout. George N. Melnhert, National Turnverln, New York, after drawing a bye in the first round In 11V pounds class, took but a few seconds to defeat Sprenger, United King dom, in the secpnd round. Trainer Murphy, who Is here with his sprinters and Jumpers, is tXngulne of sue cess, and says that while tha weathar pre vented him from doing all he would have liked to do Id the way of training pis men the American, athletes to a man a.'jiope tul.

Publication of views of correspondents does not com mit The Bee to their endorsement Trlnmph of Scientific Medicine. OMAHA. July 1. To the Editor of The Bee: The late Dr. Nicholas Senn of Chi cago gave an excellent review of the progress of medicine, especially of recent years. (Journal A. M. A., June 1, 1908.) He said there Is no country, with the possible exception of Japan, where the medical profession has made more rapid strides than In the Vnited States. As evi dence of this he pointed out our many thoroughly equipped medical schools and laboratories, the activity of the profession as shown by the number of medical socle ties and the Interest In their meetings, the reorganization of the American Medical association and consequent greater unity of the profession, the higher status of American medical literature and the higher standards lm medical education and In th conditions tor admission to practice. All these thmgs, Dr. Senn Said, had been brought about In a very short time by the voice and action of a hard working united profession. He further stated that the triumphs of preventive medicine are en hanced from the discovery of vaccination, over a century ago, to the more recent acquisitions In the prophylaxis of tetsnus, typhoid fever, cholera, yellow fever, malaria and bubonic plague. The medicine of the future Is preventive medicine, and Its final triumph will be the suppression of disease. Now, what has been pointed out by the above named eminent physician should re ceive undivided attention from the pro fession as well as the public. In the first place, It Is all Important that the medical profession shall comply with uniform requirements, regardless of school or seot, In order to safeguard the pub lic against Incompetent or unfit practition ers. The question as to whether a physi cian is a homeopath or eclectlo does not signify that he Is superior lr skill to those who are graduated by other medical schools. The idea Intended is that every reputa ble physician shall qualify himself In all medical science and not make a "cure all" out of any one thing, but be broad gauged and open io receive any truth no matter from whom or whence It comes. Medicine, in a general sense, is an im perfect but progressive science and there fore can not belong to an exclusive or re stricted sect, any more than can farming or navigation. Practically, medicine In cludes all forms or systems of treatment, whether it be advice, suggestion, manipula tion, mechanics or the use of drugs. So that the qualified practitioner has a con sistent right to prescribe the select ex tracts of the eclectic, the pilules or In finitesimal doses of the homeopath, th wet pack of the hydropath, the galvanic current of the electropath, the suggestion of the hypnotist and Christian scientist, the rubbing and manipulation of the masseur and osteopath, tha faith and prayer of the Christian, etc. In the second place. It Is highly Im portant that the public shall encourage a higher standard of medical education and that they give more strict attention to the laws of health and prevention of contsge ous diseases as well as the disparagement of patronizing strange or pretentious healers who go about the country wearing Quaker hats, cow-boy dress or Indian garb, for the sole purpose of deceiving and mak ing people believe that they possess su perior peWer to heal as against the edu cated and up-to-date physician who Is be comingly clothed and In his right mind. In the third place, It Is not only Im portant that there shall be a united pro fession and co-operative public, but that there shall be laws enacted and enforced prohibiting any person from engaging In the practice of medicine who has not been graduated from a reputable medical col lege. This Is in the interest of the people as well ss the medical profession, and it is the privilege of every thinking physician not only to evolve thoughts on legislation and help educate the community, but to do all In his power to secure protective enactments.
