Olympic Athletes On Their Return Home Criticise Committee " New York, Sept. 11. Gross neg lect by the American Olympic com mittee of the welfafe'of the United States team on its way to Antwerp, while there, and on its way home, vas charged by atfiletes arriving here today on the transport Sher man from Belgium. Dismissal of the committee will be demanded, they told newspaper men. The athletes had a good word for one member of the committee, Rob ert Weaver, of the Log Angeles Ath letic club, -who, they 4 said, "got in bad" by fighting their battles for them. 1 Praise for the army and navy in efforts to make the trip over and back as comfortable and pleasant as possible was virtually unanimously expressed by the returning dele gates. The Olympic delegates blamed the committee for sending them by transport, declaring it was too slow arid tended to let the men grow "stale" before they arrived in Bel gium. They also said their, quarters were unsatisfactory for athletes who needed to keep in training. They characterised their quarters in Ant werp as "very bad" and unsanitary and the food as "not fit for dogs' On the way hbme on the Sherman they came on a "sea-going hearse," they said, characterizing the voyage as "gruesome," for the Sherman brought 763 bodies of American sol dier dead from Europe "almost di rertly under the sleeping quarters." The loading of the caskets on board by squaking winches made sa much noise that a number of the athletff "had to go to Atnwerp hotels to sleep," they added.

The Miners slugged out a victory today against Des Moines in the opening game of the sencs, winning by a score ot 11 to 5. The second-game of a double-1 and a fourth was a possibility, while not another team in the league could boast of half as many. Wich ita found it necessary to pitch First Baseman Beck in one game. Tulsa found it necessary to work Joe Mor ris in both games of the Sunday double-header here. Yet, instead of forging ahead, the Rourkes dropped three out of five games to Wichita, broke even with Tulsa and lost two out of three to Oklahoma City. With the proper kind of fight, they'd have climbed into first place in that excellent opportunity.

"TWO AND THREE" I'uttliiR tlfb Next Ono Over. By "BUGS" BAER. Railroading. Frivate ownership of head-on-col lisions is a success. For private ownership. If you stand still on a corner for a minute, a bull pinches you for loafing. Judge smears you 10 smackers. . But 10 dolls a minute for standing still is cheaper than traveling. Railroad rates have just been steamed up 40 per cent in the wood alcohol district and 35 per cent in the west. Privateer ownership is a success When the gov took over the tlatij" wheels they hyped the import duty from twojo three cents a milestone, live or die. Now they are socking us 40 per cenum moreum and mov ing the milestones tloser together. Yea bo. The 40 per cent knife is for freight. It's only 20 per cent for a passenger who wanders into the depot during a post graduate course in aphasia. There is another 20 fine on excess baggage. The road legislation on excess luggage is unusually liberal. Anything that helps to make you comfortable is excess. The increase , becomes effective and virulent Upon five days' notice given by the common carriers-to the interstate commerce commish and the public in the disorder named. The five-day warning will be printed in the timetables and will be the only thing in the jazzboed pamphlet that will be on time. They print a lot.' of junk in rail road schedules, but a notice of in creased rates is the only thing you can depend on. 1 The interstitial commerce com mission values railroad property at about 20,000,000 000. That's a lot of cinders. The public will kick in with the extra assessment. They always get the lean cart of the fat.' All the pub wants i?' a seven or an eleven. to Tulsa. Tulsa led the league, six and a half games ahead of the,. Oma ha club. ' The addition of Otto Williams after the middle of the season went a long distance toward instilling a little fight into the club. But Otto couldn't be on the coaching line when the team, was in the field. Be sides Otto couldn't do it, all. Now the best they can do is to win second place. Considered individually the Rourke club was made up of some of the best players irr the league. None will dispute that Billy Lee was one of tfte best, if not the best, out fielder on the circuit.'

His fielding and hitting were consistent and sometimes sen sational. . - Bill Weidell and Gislason were as "sweet" a pair of infielders as one could wish for. The great Cuban Palmero, was the class of the league as far as pitchers are concerned. He combined rare ability with a true love of the game and he was-the idol of the fans. Ad to this array of stars, Al Platte and Jack Lelivelt, the demon sluggers, Pat Mason, Cy Lingle, Fred Haney and the Rourke hurling staff and it is hard to under stand just how the locals failed to win the flag. Certainly, on paper, they had the best team in the league. BASE BALL DIRECTORY Standing o, the Teams. Wester League. W. L. Pct.i W. I.. Pet. Tulsa 85 (8 .64St. Joseph.
