Ovcmhmlowlng all outdoor sport
thli sousou will bo tho Olympic games
lu Loudon, where tho amateurs of
nearly all tho countries of tho globo
will meet and batllv for world iu
Vrimnct. Tho United Btates, of course,
will tend a toara thoroughly ropro-
aontiiMvt of IU high athlotlo caliber,
and this year tho men, who will liavo
boon selected from all part of the
country by meant of tryouta, doubt
lx wll) comprlso a band that ahould
Itrlng back to thin country more
wreaths of luurels than were won by
the American train at Athena aeveral
jetrt ago. In tho sprints tho Ameri
cana are purlcs, and it la llkoly also
that In the Intermediate ruua, the high
and low burdlora, Uie itandlng and
broad Jumps, the wolgbU and the dis
cus (he athlvtka from the new world
will sweep the board.
Tho Inyfrcolbglate games east and
went tb latter part of May will atlll
furth?T tent the strength, akUl and
speed of the athletic itara or the big
unlvctmltli'H, and finally the official try
outa In three sections of the country on
lay 28 and June 0 will afford tho com
mittee ample data on which to baae
the (K'lectJou of the team that la to rep
resent America In the heartbreaking
struggles which are to decide the
world'a championships in a variety or
porta In tho great atadlutn built at
Loudon especially for the occautou.
Men who follow closely tho form of
the crack amateur athlete are al
ready trying to guess the makeup of
tho team that will represent the Unit
ed Bute In tho great Olympic gainea
In London thla summer. It la generally
conceded that the bulk of tho team will
be made up of college men. Such waa
not the caae when Uncle Sam vent a
team to Athena In 1000, for the Athena
Olympiad waa held at a time mat
made It lmDoaalble for moat of the col
lege chaniplona to even think of going
on account of their college work.
Thla aummer the American Olympic
committee will not only be able to pick
the et of the club runnera, Jumpers
ahot puttera, but will alao aecure
gthe cream or me conege laieui, iw m
"London meet cornea during the long
' college vacation period. Thla will make
It certain that America will have a
atrongor team at London than aho bad
at the great Athena meet
America will be wonderfully strong
In tho field event. Should a tenra be
nt to London right now and the bent
of tho field men all be nvalloblo no less
than five world'a record holdera would
compete for the atnra and atrlpea. In
running and hurdling the team would
be considerably otrongcr than it waa
at Athena.
The boya who went to Athena In 1000
did well In fact, thoy beat the ath
letea of the world assembled in the rea
urrocted stadium, but their perform
ances were excelled many tlmea in
subsequent games in the United States.
Tho makeup of the next Olympic
team will certainly be representative
of the United States, for it la a cer
tainty that every section of tho coun
try will furnish star athletes for the
team. Tho men will be picked at trial
games in tho oast and west, and this
method will give the team tho genuine
chomplona of the year.
RECTOR A SPEED MARVEL
Breaker of World'a Hundred Yards
Mark Wonderfully Fast.
James A. Rector, the University of
Virginia athlete who broke tho world's
record for tho hundred yard dash at the
Bouthern lntorcolleglnto gnmes nt Char
lottcHvllle, Va., baa decided to enter
the tryont gnmes for the Olympic team
in Philadelphia, having overcomo pa
:rentnl objections.
Rector, who is captain of the Uni
versity of Virginia team this year, ran
rthe hundred yards In 0 2-5 seconds,
.beating Aahby (Virginia), who has a
i record of 10 seconds flat; by a clean
ten yards and breaking tho world'a
record of 8 3-5 seconds held by Dan
Kelly. Owing to the fact that a slight
quartering wind was blowlug in his
favor the record may not be allowed
'by the Amateur Athletic union. Last
winter Rector broke the world's record
for the hundred yards In an Indoor
i meet in Baltimore.
The Virginia sprinter hns defeated
:such men as Cortraell and Smtthson,
and the Virginia athletic authorities
expect him to win a place on the Olym
pic team. lie Is also a good football
player.
Golf Outlook at Harvard.
Harvard's golf prospects for this
season are very bright. Of the Inst
year's successful team no less than five
tnombers are again available. Tbey are
Captain H. H. Wilder, W. nickox, Jr.;
A. P. Shaw, W. P. Morgan and O. II.
Burton. All these men are playing bet-
ter than last season. Captain Wilder
and HIckox are in fine form and should
i attain better results than ever before.
Tiger Castoffs Playing Good Vail.
i Cocklll and Warhop, a cou,ple .of Do-
trolt Tiger canton", are doing fine work
fur the champion WUIIanwport club of
the TrlHtntn, Cock!!! Is "eating 'em up"
around first, and Warhop has shown
elans In the pitching way.
HICKMAN HAS NOVEL JOB.
"Ch..rful Charley" of Cleveland Naps
Hired to Jolly His Team Mates.
Many times tho question has been
asked, "Why did the Cleveland Ameri
can leagtio club sign Charley Hick
man lust fall, and why la he being car
ried on the pay roll?" It's not because
bo Is a good batter, lllckuinu's but
ting eye has been trifle dim for the
past two or tbreo seasons. Nor is It
because he Is a great fielder. Hick
man has an absolutely unique Job In
baseball, which might be colled "good
fellow."
The Cleveland club baa boen trou
bled for several aeasona past by In
ternal strife and dissensions. Always
made up of star players, it has failed
consistently In the winning of pen
nant. The owners, Somers and Kll
foyi, finally decided that persistent 111
feeling between members of the team
had a good deal to do with Its lack of
success,
They tried getting rid of the sup
posed disturbers. This did no good.
Klther the right men were not picked
out or new disturbers arose as fast as
vacancies were created. Then came a
bright thought to hire a man who
would by his own good humor, cheer
fulness and tact "keep peace In the
family."
Therefore "Cheerful Hick" was sign
ed. He la probably the most popular
ball player among his fellows In the
business. Ho Is always sympathetic,
kind hearted, good natured, cheerful.
He Is a born optimist and a natural
peace producer. He "Jollies up" sulky
and discontented members of the
team. He talka good sense and Is al
ways listened to.
MORRISSEY IN TRAINING.
Winner of Boston Marathon Race
Working Hard For Olymplo Classic
Thomas J. Morrisaey, the New York
state winner of the recent Boston Mar
athon road race, has started active
training for the Olympic classic. Al
ways In the best of condition, the Mer
cury Athletic club (Yonkers) runner
will need but little real bard work to
prime him for the big race In Eng
land. He has the speed and the
strength to carry it and will devote his
time to developing his wind. Morris
aey, by the way, haa bla own Ideas re
garding tho proper way to train. He
does not use tobacco in any form; nei
ther does he drink. But, all thf expert
opinion in the world to tbe contrary
notwithstanding, be believes in eating

whatever appeals most to his appetite,
cake, pie and other pastry Included,
provided, of course, that it is of whole
some ingredients.
Starting with a four mile walk and
alternating each day between walking
and running, Morriasey will gradually
Increase his dally task until shortly
before he sails for England, when be
will take a twelve mile spin at top
speed, averaging 5 minutes SO seconds
to the mile, tho gait at which he ex
pects to travel in the big race. On tho
other side he will follow practically the
same routine, although the difference
In the climate may make It advisable
to lay out another line of action.
Morrlssey's great victory In the Bos
ton event, the form displayed by the
men who finished behind him and that
shown by a number of competitors in
the Missouri Athletic club's run have
about settled the idea that this country
is weak In the distance races, and no
one would be greatly surprised by an
American victory in an event in which
we were believed to have only a re
mote chance of scoring a single point

How to lift the Davis International
challeugo cup la the problem which
takes Unit place in the thoughts of
lawn tennis players at thla time of tbe
j oar. From developments early this
season this has been appreciatively
reallied by those who have the matter
In charge, and Dr. James Dwlght,

The opening negotla
bandied with such diplomacy that the
appeamce of the Australians, Nor
man K. Brookes and Anthony F. Wild
ing, la assured, in addition to tbe Eng
lish team. Indeed, thla la a feather In .
the cap of tbe present lawn tennis ad-
ministration, provided tbe American
wlelders of the racket of the top flight '
support the game as tbey should and
its It now appears evident that they
intend to do. I
So thoroughly has the governing
body of the sport come to a realization
of what must be accomplished in tne
way of building up a strong team that
It la certain that all of the men who
have any claim to distinction whatever
will soon bo pegging away In the most
serious manner so as to arrive at
form. Tho national champion. Wil
liam Aymar Larned, to among this
number, and It must be fairly admit
ted that bis game is still of the old
surpassing beauty of accoraplUhment
and that he atands head and shoulders
above bis fellows. Furthermore, be it
said that Larned Is not disposed to
shirk any responsibility that the Na
tlonal association may place upon him
at such a time, when tne gooa oi me
American game may smuu m v
sltlon of jeopardy. From those doaeat
to Larned It t learned that be win
devote himself to a consiaeraoie
amount of play in early tournaments,
but that be Is disponed to confine him
self to grass courts.
Of course tbe ranking ten or tne om-
clal list have come into consideration
for the cup team. Broadly speaking,
that select number was regarded as a
Joko In some respects when the list
was first Issued, and some of them are
not even now taken or accepted seri
ously In tho light of having any possi
ble opportunity of representing this
niintrv airaliiHt tho Encllshmen. Beals
O. Wright, ranked second to larneu. wnooping cougn. wr. j-aneui naruanu

effort to attain his usual speed. It la Remedy and said it gave his custom

ously annoyed determination not to to anyone having children troubled
take a place on a cup team this year, with whooping cough, says Mrs. A.
Itecent ploying on the part of Wright Goss, of Durand, Mich. For sale by

than suffering from any particular - -
fault, and as he has gone into some-
thing like strict training great improve-
mem IS lO ue mum-u ur iu a ouvii
lime.
The next four of the ranking ten
Karl II. Behr, Raymond D. Little,
Robert Le Roy and Clarence Hobart
aro said to bo moat unlikely to make
tho team. Bchr's father haa decided
that his son must confine himself to
i I ... I . V. n 1 ..aK tnnnl. n a ttla
duUes will permit of. LitUe has
grown more uncertain with years and
Is not to be reckoned with. Le Roy's
record last year is taken with a "grain
of salt," and be la far from having the
physique to stand any grueling match
es. Hobart is not likely to make tbe
team or to bo considered because of
bis antagonism to the governing body.
Of the others of the ten young Ed
win P. Lnrnedand Irving & Wright
are regarded as strong, 'and should ,
they round out their promise one or J
both may find a place. But, going be-,
yond the ten that were ranked, three
men William J. Clothier, Frederick 1
Alexander and Harold II. Hackett are i
receiving much consideration. The tall 1
Jhllndelphlan, Clothier, Is in line again 1
to get up to his best, If he can attain j
it He is receiving enthusiasm from ,
Lamed and is regarded as one of the
likeliest men of all.
As the matter stands, the officials are 1
drumming up the men of top flight, so !
that there Is likely to be more class on
the' American courts this year than in !
the past With the cup matches held J
over to August, there is opportunity j
for development, and, on the whole, !
the players are most cheerfully confl- j
dent as to the outcome.
Shirt Sal! Newest of Pitching Freaks. I
You've henrd about the knuckle ball,
Mathowson's fade away ball, the rise
ball, the splttet, the curve and end-:
less others, but the versatile twlrlers
have added still another to the list.
The latest discovery Is the shirt waist
ball. More properly it should' be call- j
d the "shirt", ball', for the garment !
generally termed "shirt waist" docs j
not figure In its delivery. The shirt
waist ball Is really oh!y a fast one '
shoulder high in Chicage: It Is used
only on hot days, for it is then that all j
the fans In the bleachers iu center j
field take off their coats. When they
do this there Is a straight white' line i
parallel with the shoulder of "the pitch
er and the batsman's eyes. When the
ball shoots toward him he cannot se
it because of the white shirts.
Addle Joss a Good Batttr.
ritcher Addle Joss of Cleveland If
one of tho best twlrlers in the leagno.
He Is also a fancy bitter, If bis record
of the past few games is to be serioaf-
j ly considered. On two occasions thlf
I spring ho has made a gnmd cleanup
with his stick when things Vera break
ing badly for tbe Blues.
Biliousness and Constipation.
For years 1 was troubled with bil-
lousneit and constipation, which made
life miserable for me. My appetite
failed me. I lost my usual force and
vitality. Pepsin preparation! and
cathartics only made matteri worse.
