Comparing American athletes who
will represent this country in the
Olympic games at Antwerp, Belgium,
with Che team which made a clean
sweep of events, at Stockholm eight
years ago Is a rather difficult task.
Inasmuch as in 1912 the American
team did not compete as one body
before the final selection, as was the
- case this year, and also for the rea
son that eight years ago, in the final
tryouts, the Olympic programme was
used, while this year the Amateur
Athletic union programme was fol
lowed. It Is all more or less a matter of
pure speculation at any rate, and a
comparison of the two teams would
hardly discredit either. The present
Olympiad will not be won on the
past performances of the athletes,
and what they had to show In the
way of ability In the tryouts at Bos
ton last month and what they are
capable of doing in the real test at
Antwerp are two different things. In
track and field ' events, as In prac
tically every other branch of sport,
the dope is ofttlmes upset, and no
runner is sure of his place until he
. has crossed the line.
i- Comparisons Are Made,
Measuring the performances of the
two teams, it would appear in all of
the running events up to and includ
ing the 1500 meters the best men of
' the 1912 team were slightly better
' than the winners at Boston. In the
field events the 1920 team is superior
In the running high jump, the discus
and javelin throws and the pole vault.
The edge must be given the 1912
group in the broad jump, shot put and
possibly hammer throw.
On the other hand, the present team
Is much better balanced, which is
what counts In the long run, when
It comes to rolling up the points.
There is considerable speculation
as to whether or not this year's crop
of sprinters will measure up to the
standard of Ralph Craig, who - won
the 100 and 200-meter events at
Stockholm. Craig was a consistent
9 4-5 seconds man for the 100 yards
and he was also a joint holder of
the world's record of 21 1-5 seconds
for the 220 yards. Some authorities
are of the belief that Craig was
more consistent and slightly faster
- than Paddock. Murchison or Scholz
of this year's team.
In the middle-distance events It Is
about a standoff between the men
. who competed in 1912 and those who
will wear the colors of Uncle Sam
this year. In the 400-meter run will
be entered Ted Meredith and Frank
Shea, the former being the man who
set up the present world's record of
1:51 4-5 for the 800 meters in 1912.
Negro Good Jumper.
Sol Butler, the negro student from
Dubuque college, Iowa, is unques
tionably a great broad jumper, but
the best mark he has ever been able
to hang up, 24 feet 8 inches for the
flying leap, is three inches short of
the standard set by A. W. Gutterson,
who won the event for this country
in 1S12.
In the high jump Murphy and Lan
don of this year's team are superior
to the best in 1912. The edge must
also be given pole vaulters of this
year's team over those of 1912.
In the weight events no comparison
can be made of the two teams, m
Fat McDonald and Matt McGrafh, who
won the shot put and hammer throw
respectively In 1912, will attempt to
come back this year, and much de
pends on their condition.
The averages of this year's javelin
and discus throwers are considerably
higher than those who competed in
1912, but the American spear hurlers
and discus flickers have a long way
to go before they can be expected to
come near the marks set by the ath
letes from Sweden and Finland.

- 15 record of five out
of the 14 American
women who have
made the Olympic
team was given in
detail. The name
of Thelma Payne,
women's national
diving champion
and a member of
Multnomah Amateur Athletic club, was
entirely omitted. In that this is the
highest honor a diver can attain, the
omission was particularly conspicu
ous. It would seem that this title,
recognized not only In the world of
sport, but throughout the country as
a worth-while achievement, would at
least deserve "honorable mention."
The west is generally known for its
bigness in all things, and it is a de

prevail on the other side of the Mis

Three more weeks remain before
the opening of the deer hunting sea
son on September '1. "The grAatest
season of all," is the way me deputy
gams wardens figure it this year.
Reports from these men, which have
been pouring into the game warden's
office, indicate that several sections
of the state are literally covered with
deer.
Several reasons are given for the
big Increase in the number of deer
this year. One is the. rapid growth
of underbrush In the forests of Ore
gon which affords seclusion for the
animals. Another Is that the deer
ave received mors protection of late
years due to the fact that predatory
animals are being killed off rapidly
in the state. Cougars and wildcats
are the worst enemies oi tne .aeer.
especially the young fawn, but the
former are being killed off rapidly.
K Is estimated that one cougar Is
capable of disposing of 150 deer in a
year.
South erm Coanttes Best.
Southern Oregon counties have al
ways proved a good hunting ground
for the local sportsmen. Even in "off
ears" when the more expert nimrods
were unable to bring down a buck
in other counties, those who tramped
the Curry and Douglas county hills
had luck and bagged from one to the
limit without very much trouble.
Some first hand information on the
game conditions In Cu.-ry county was
received recently by State Game War
den Burghduff in a letter from Deputy
Warden Adams. Adams, who Is said
o be better acquainted with the Curry
county Bection that any other man in
that district, says that deer are on
the ii. crease, as are also elk and bear.
He also says that coyotes and wild
cats, which are classed as predatory
animals, are also on the increasa
Cougars, he says, are decreasing
Old Bucks PlestlfnL
Adams states that the last two
winters have been very open with
big acorn crops and that the deer
were in the very best of condition at
the breeding season. Yearling deer
are to be seen everywhere and the
old bucks are also plentiful and have
fine heads of-horns owing to their
wintering well.
Reports from eastern Oregon show
that the mule tail deer is on the In
crease in that section of the state.
Joe Craig, deputy warden with head
quarters In the local office, recently
returned from the Bend and Prinevllle
districts and reports that the sports
men will be well repaid by a visit to
that section of the country.
The season which opens on Septem
ber 1 and ends on October 31, holds
good for the entire state with the
exception of Union and Wallowa coun
ties where the season starts on Sep
tember 10 and ends on November 10
Mr. Burghduff gives out the annual
and official advice to sportsmen in
the following statement:
"The gams commission will take
every step to see that the law is
strictly enforced. We will have
special staff of deputies placed In
the open districts and law violators
will be dealt with severely.
"It is always unlawful to kill moun
tain sheep, antelope, elk, beaver, fe
male deer and spotted fawn. All
hunters must be supplied with hun
ters' licenses and must produce them
on the dema- d of a deputy warden.
"No hunter is allowed to hunt deer
at night or with dogs or to lie in
wait near lickc while hunting deer;
to have in his possession any doe or
fawn skins, or any deer skins from
which the evidence of sex has been
removed."

The Aerlcan racing motorboat Whlp-
Po-WllI Jr.. here to represent the
MotorDoat Club of America In the
contest for the Harrosworth trophy
beginning August 10. caught fire in
Osborne bay today and sank. The
crew was rescued.
The fire on the Whip-po-WIll Jr.
was started by the back-Bring of the
engine. Flames made rapid headway,
leaping up to a great height.
Efforts were made to attach a tow
line to the boat and tow her ashore,
but these failed.
When the accident occurred the
Whip-po-Will Jr. was engaged in a
speed test with another American
entry.
The own,er of the boat. George C.
Reis. with Henry Pohl and J. F.
Kneeshaw. was aboard. The men
fought the flames until they were in
danger. Reis and Pohl jumped over
board, being picked up by an Amer
ican racing motorboat. Miss Detroit.
Kneeshaw rema'ned in the bow of tha
deck with the flames fast approaching
him until rescued.
None of the men was Injured beyond
a few slight burns
The Whip-po-Will Jr. was a 28
foot hydroplane equipped with two
4o0-horsepower engines arranged
tandem and turning one propeller. It
was owned by Commodore Albert L.
Judson.
The boat wa expected to be one
of the foremost contenders for the
trophy, contesting against entries
from France. Spain and England, be
