England when they arrive this summer

tha United States than one would

Officially, of course. Urd Daabor- V It Is an or' nVcret that Lord lW
ugh cannot discuss the chances M tin borough Is s'std for the position of
American or the representative or any ,,. mf.,,er:il of t'anada as soon as
v... muntrir Kwt in his Drivate c
faclty he declares that the chances of
ha United States are of the most ros-
ata hue. In his official capacity he
,bas authorised we. through tola paper,
to issue to the Cnlted States athletic
clubs and ifeoplo, a warm message of
welcome to England for their repre
sentatives.

States Is almost akin to that he has
for Britain. And so ha baa mads an
, exception to the rule.
. Lord Daaborough hesitated for some
time before writing the message wmon
I give below. He walked up and down
; tha room considering tha question.
Then he suddenly walked over to his

desk and for the- next few minutes
scribbled with a fountain pen on thick
sheets of paper which bora on them a
- baron's crown. He gave ma tba sheets
with tha straightforward comment:
am only 'too glad to be atla in this
way to express my sen io uia American
puoiic.-
Ksssage, to American.
Here la tha message:
"I consider that all who take an In
terest in tha revival of tha Olympic
' gramea of 1908 owa tha autboritiea of
tha United Statea a deep debt of grati
tude for the SDlendia manner in which
they have thrown themselves Into tha
movement
- "I am glad to think that there Is
very probability of the United States
being so finely represented at the games
-and that means that they will win a
great many events.
"I bat'e been in constant communl-
' cation with James E. Hulllvan, the sec
retary of "-he American committee,
Olympic games, and 1 should like to
xpreas my personal thanks to him for
the splendid manner in which he has
worked to make the Olympic games of
Xiondon the success which we now f ore-
"No International athletic meeting
would be complete without a very
strong contingent from tha United
, fitates. '
"They will be sure of a very hearty
i welcome here, and If they are not too
busy winning competitions I hope they
will have time to see a little of the
country.
"The idea or tne uiympic games, as i
tiave said more than once, is something
' ' beyond and above the mere holding of a
rreat athletic meeting the underlying
hope Is that the youth, and enpec!a'ly
i the athletic youth of the different coun
tries, by meeting each other in friendly
. rivalry, will ret to know aeh other bel
ter and appreciate each other more.
"It la also trusted that these great
1 International meetings will tend to pro
. note the true sportsmanlike feeling
among. the nationa which take part, in
. them , and foster amity and concord,
peace and 'good will.
. "DESBOROUGH."
' lord Desboroogh personally knows
' several members of the American team.
He met them In Athens at the Olympio
games there two years ago.
"I nope to visit the United States
' again soon." said Lord Desborough in
' auiawer to my question. "It ia a grand

In a fast and steady finish which
brought the hundreds of spectators to
their feet and drowned the roar of the
racers In a thunder of applause. Card
finished first last night in the closing
relay of the six-day roller skating con
test which beran at Exposition rink last
Monday night. He and Farrell were a
quarter of a lap ahead of the other con
testanta when the pistol cracked, al
though Farrell had loet a couple of
laps during some or the nerve-racking
spurts which characterised the relay
earner in its course.
Card took the lead at the start of the
relay last night and with few interrup
tions neid it untii tne close, several
times during the SO-mlnute run he
showed his speed by darting ahead and
I setting a terrlno pace. When within a
rew mmutea or tne ciose ne again spurt
ed forward, there was none to gain the
better of him and the heady little racer
took a clear field until next to the last
lap, when Farrell, who had lost a lap,
dropped in behind him and .clung to
his heels until the relay was finished.

takes second place and Holt finishes

Portland academy is a problem. Nu
merous changes have been made In the
lineup In trying (to secure a good pitcher,
and their success depends entirely upon
the ability of the boys to accustom
themselves to their new positions. Mey
ers has been moved from third base to
the pitcher's box, and HuVlburt from
first base to the difficult corner. Both
players were stars at their old positions,
and it seems a bad move to change
them, but changes were made for the
benefit of the team. Every man on the
team In a fighter, and they will un
doubtedly make a good showing.
The onlv weak team In the league will
be West Side high school. They will be
the newest team In the league, as only
two of their old men are back, and an
entirely new team will have to be developed.

one of the best lads in the east. In their
six-round bout Robson had the better
of the first three rounds by his clean
hitting and blocking. In the fourth
round Hayes forced the fighting- while
Spike seemed to be taking things easy.
The fifth round was a slugging
match, honors even.
In the final round both boys tried to
land swings to the law and win by a
knockout. These efforts were futile,
Robson did most of the forcing in this
rouna. -
