Olympic Gaines Begin.
London, July 1$. With the great
stadium at Shepherd's Bush crowded
almost to its full seating' capacity, the
flags of all nations waving, spectators
cheering and King Edward looking
down upon the animated scene from
the royal box, the International Olym
plo games were Inaugurated today.
Two thousand and five hundred ath
letes from 20 countries will share In
the competitions, and took part and
a great ovation marked the beginning
of the games. Uncle Sam's brawny
band of red-blooded athletes played
a prominent part and were ' lustily
cheered, although it Is the fondest
hope of English sportsmen that their
long record of victories may at last
be overthrown.
There Is nothing to mar the suc
cess of this week's great contest, ex
cept the poverty of the British Olym
pic -council,, which, headed by Lord
Desborough, has worked faithfully
but In vain to secure sufficient funds
for properly entertaining the visiting
athletes. Nearly all of the proposed
excursions and receptions have been
abandoned. The stingy attitude of the
British people Is denounced by the
press as "the shame of England."
Never In the history of sport has
there been gathered together such a
galaxy of stars as that congregated
today in the huge stadium a struc
ture mors than a thousand feet long
and 700 feet wide, built to accommo
date a crowd of 70,000 persons. There
is every Indication, on form, that the
sturdy sons of Uncle Sam will sweep
the board and many are of the opin
ion that they will not only sweep the
board, but take it back with them.
There Is many a slip 'twlxt the cup
and the lip, however, and to those
who have been watching the tremen
dous Interest that has been shown In
athletics In Sweden, France and the
British Isles slnco the Olympic games
of 1906, with the resulting Improve
ment, It looks as If the meet would
not be so much of a cake walk for
America as appears at first sight. The
English climate must be taken into
consideration. It has caused upsets
In calculations before and may do so
again.
On form, however, America should
tnkn all the races on the flat up to the
mile, with that race In question, both
the hurdle races and all the fie 1 1
events except the javelin throw.

notables present were the king and
queen; the duke and duchebs of
Spark; the crown prince and princess
of Sweden; the duke of Argyle; the
duke and duchess of Connaught and
scores of other titled personages.
The American team of 90 was given
an ovation. The team waved the stars
and stripes at the king of England.
