the American team won 9 out of 15
events; In Paris In 1 990. 15 out of 21
events; In Rt. I-ouls In 24 out of
28 event; In London Irt 1908, 15 out of
It events; and In the (tames here, 18
out of 31 events. These successive vic
tories havn impressed all Europeans
with tha significance of athletic tratn
ln und It Is froply predicted that this
year's Olympiad will result In more
attention being paid to atrrreTTcs In all
European countries, In consequence of
which, In future meets, the (rreater
strength of the continental athletes will
create more competition In the several
vents and require fewer firsts to carry
off the honors.
Genuine regret wss felt here at the
departure of the Americans, who made
a fine Impression upon the people of
Stockholm and the Olympiad visitors

Pftn Francisco, July 20. It Is very
evident that sporting critics, unlike doc
tors, Uo not hold consultations in ref
erence to tho "cases" that come under
their observation. If they did, no doubt
there would be more unanimity of opin
ion in respett to the merits of contests
and competitions of various characters.
That sporting writers should view
boxing matches and other events from
different standpoints. Is as It should be.
A wlsa head once said. "It's difference
of opinion that makes hors rsces." and
what la true of the sport of the turf Is
true of everything else In the sporting
line. AVIthom difference of opinion there
would be no occasion to arrange tests
of skill, speed or endurance. There
would be a total lack of Interest In
everything relstlng to competition.
There would be no "sporting situation,"
In fact.

There is one thing, however, that a
sports critic should bewsre of. and that

Stockholm Is Attractive City.
Ptockholin and Its environs -are nrrw
well known to tho visitors from America
and the verdict of all critics Is that the
cholce of the city for the holding of the'
present Olympic games was Ideal from
every point of view. It Is an Ideal town
for a summer sojourn this city w ith Its
green hills and rolling waters. There Is
life and gaiety on all sides. I'nder the

only possible and correct one. He should
qualify whatever opinions he writes
with the remark, "This may not be the
right analysis, but It's the way it looked
to me." For no matter what respect
his opinion commands, he can only exer
cise Individual Judrment.
It Is doubtful If there were ever a
brace of pugilistic hnppenlnjts that
caused more difference of opinion among
the workmen of tho press itian the two
world's championships on the Fourth of
July. Those who held that Jack John
son had showed no decline In fighting
ability were fairly well paired with the
critics w ho noted or thought they noted
a vast difference In the Johnson of
Reno and the Johnson of I. as Vegas.
BUI Thinks Jack Tires.
The writer takes tits stand with those
who believe that Johnson tires more
readily and Is a less formidable puncher
thnn he used to be. I havo scon John
son In every contest of note he has fig
ured In, In this country since he defeat
ed Frank Chllds at I.os Angeles, nearly
11 years ago, and am therefore In a
fairly good position to Judge of his
present fighting prowess.
Incidentally, Johnson Is one of the
hardest men In the fighting world to
get a line on. He Is such a consum
mate ring general -and everything he
does within tho ropes Is done so artis
tically, that it la anything but easy to
tell when ha Is In trouble.
In the affair with Flynn he held on
and stalled around with a grin on his
face and with no particular appear
ance of being flurried, but he was an
exceedingly tired champion of the world.
Just the same If he had been the John
son of other fights. Instead of looking
hwegry yM - at - Rfer -Smith when
Flynn began hutting, he would have
broken his hold -and punched Flynn
clear across the ropes.
The different views held In regard

town show an ability to keep the pace
without ths brief interval excepted
circumstance, however, to the confusion
of opinions thru existed at the Wolgast
IUvers ringside. It used to be said that
a man' Interested in box'.ng did not have
to ntt'T.d a fight to (fain an Idea of
what happened that he could reed all
ihe acounts of the affair and strike an
uverae. Anyone who could foil.iw this
course In the I.os Angeles mill would
have to be possessed of highly analytical
mentality.
Whether Wolgast stmck his opponent
foul or fair; whether Itlvers downed
Wolgast with a chin crack or a smash
In the pit; whether Wolgast fell athwart
Illvers' knee, and whether Rivers wns
ahort counted are points that will be
argued for many a day to come.
Some of the opinions held are so posi
tive, In fact, that they would not sur
prise the writer to hear of some cap
tious critic taking Issue with the mov
ing pictures on the score that they did
not give a faithful portrayal of the
i losing scenes of the lightweight cham
pionship.
Q-ood Business for Films.
It all means good business for the
shadowgraphs of both mills, probably,
for where there are points In dispute
the average sport likes to take In the
picture and Judge for hlmnelf.
One of the Interested spectator it
tile Rlvers-Wolgaut contest was Willie
Ritchie, the San Francisco lad who gave
Wolgast such a hard time of It In a
four round bout In this city a couple of
months ago. Ritchie thinks that If thsre
is a return match between Wolgast and
Rivers t!,e champion will win out to a
certainty. He says that Rivers' punches
did not hurt Wolgast. whereas every
blow Ad landed made the Mexican wince.
"At that. I do not think Wolgast
showed either tha speed or the punching
power he displayed when he fought me,"
said Ritchie. "I will move heaven and
earth to secure a bout for tho cham
pionship with Wolgsst snd If there is
any hitch in the arrangements with
Rivers, I think I will stand a good
chance of getting the match. I am very
earnest about this, and to show my
sincerity am willing to bet my llttU
accumulations on the result I havo
not much a few thousand dollars but

when the date of the fight is close at

There are any number who consider
spectators anxious to see wTint' is"gener-

has been built on the outskirts of the

opponent than Rivers for Wolgast. It
Is even hinted that the champion Is of

Captain Dodge May Cruise to
Astoria; No Yacht Races
Today.
Port Captain Nelson Podge of the Ore
gon Yacht club and a party of four left
yesterday In Dodge's yawl Wauna on a
10 days' cruise down the Columbia river.
The other members of tho party are
ex-Commodore Todd. Louis Head, Mr.
Davis and Ira Hill, former commodore.
All of the psrty are prominent members
of the yacht club.
The party will stop at all the promi
nent, fishing stations along the Colum
bia river, and may go as lar as Astoria.
There will be no yacht raes this aft
ernoon. Most of the owners of yschts
left early this morning on a cruise down
tho Willamette river. They will likely
go as far as the Columbia, when they
will Urn and start for home.
It's about an even break in base
