NEXT OLYMPIC GAMES WILL SEE AMERICAN TEAM'S HARDEST FIGHT Ity Henry L. Fnrrell (United Prwa SUIT Corrapondcnt) NEW YORK, Oct. 0. "America is through. Tho athletic crown worn so long by the United States Is des tined for another head in tho Olym pic games of 1924." This bonst wns mado in Antwerp by tho Finns nnd the Swedes follow ing tho Into Olympic contests, in which the Americans were over whelmingly victorious. The failure of the Americans to "clean up" In the track ovents ubove the sprints led the foreign exports to draw tho conclusion that the new ganorntlon of Ynnkoe athletes lncks endurnnce nnd stamina. It Ib a matter of record that tho Americans did full to take any of the distance events with the exception of the 3000-meter team rnco, won on the Inst duy ot the games. nut the conclusion of the Euro pean critics that tho poor showing wns the result of a decline In tho physical powers of the new school ot American nthlotcB Is wrong. Tho American distance runners did not swoop tho trnck, as did the sprinters, because they had no op portunity to train. The tlmo wns so short before the opening of the gnmos, tho conditions so disagreeable on' their 'trip to Antwerp, nnd tho wenthor bo abominable, that they were the victims of unavoidable -cir cumstances, The .-Swedes and the, Finns, whoso power wns notod In tho long distance runs, hnd the advan tnge of two weeks In Antwerp prev-i Ions to tho oponlng of the games, during which they were nblo to use tho stadium track dnlly and got accli MEMBERS OFBROOKL YN TEAM WHO HELPED QRIMES : SAILORS LEAD SLAV REVOLT FETROGHAI) WKXK OF TWO DAY HATTLF, CIIIXKSK MKUCE.V A It IKS RMPI.OYKI) BY It EDS TO PIT DOWX llltlSIXG. PARIS, Oct. C. Fourteen hundred Russian sailors led a revolt In Petro- grad on September 28 which resulted In two day of street fighting, ac cording to newspapers here. The reports said the Insurrection was crushed by Chinese mercenaries, and that 64 leaders of the mutiny were Bhot. The sailors were joined by muni tions factory workers, according to newspaper dispatches, aiding In man ning IS naval guns taken to Petro grad from Kranstadt. Four hundred sailors are reported killed and wounded in the two days' fighting, which was extensive. Both sides employed barricades In the streets and snipers tor both Bides operated from tho roofs of buildings. mated to the peculiar wenther con dition. It is a fact that America had a harder time to win the 1920 games than she ever had before, and it Is a foregone conclusion that she will huvo much stiffer opposition in 1924. Seizing upon the showing made by the American distance men, the for eign nations, especially Sweden, Fin land and England, nre going to set out and develop new talent in the field nnd track events. In which the Americans wore able to make the clennup that gave them victory. America's, task' before the ' next games will be to develop a new school of distance runners and to find youngsters to take the plnce of Pat McDonald, Paddy Ryan, Matt Mc Grath, Dan Ahearn, Mike Devannoy, Ted Meredith and some others of the "old school," who showed in the last games that thoy are through. Los Angeles seems to be the favor ite for the next world meet. The Swedes, Finns, English and French, disgusted with the manner In which the games were conducted in Ant werp, have demanded that the games be given to America, not only because they believe an American city can handle them best, but because they are.rfnxlous to get the "joy ride trip" to tho Pacific coast. Held In America, the, next gnmas would not present as many problems for the Americans as would be faced by the necessity of o"hothor long trip to a foreign country. The wenther conditions In California would be idenl for tho Americans, the short trip would Insure the good condition ot the mon nnd more talent could be made avnllable for final selection. CANCEL DEFEA T 'A. ELECTION LAW IS EXPLAINED LOCAL FILINGS NOT TO BE STOPPED Statute Docs Not Contemplate En forcing 28 Day Limit on Bend, Is Belief of City Attorney No Candidate Yet In Running. Although the state law providing that all candidates for city offices shall have their names filed with the county clerk not less than 28 days before the election, Bend will adhere to the provisions ot the ordinance passed at the last meeting ot the city council fixing 15 days before the bal loting as the last time tor filing. This was the opinion given this morning by City Attorney C. S. Ben son after perusing the section ot the 1919 Oregon laws relating to city elections. The provisions are defi nite, but Mr. Benson has in his pos session an opinion given on this same section last spring by Supreme Court Justice Brown, then attorney general of Oregon, which leaves much to the discretion of the Individual munici pality. "It cannot be presumed that the legislature attempted to deprive cities and towns of their local auton omy In reference to their officers and elections by chapter 283, if the leg islature should be presumed to have Buch power," Mr. Brown wrote. No Filings Made. From this, Mr. Benson considers that the city ot Bond has the right to permit filings up to within IS days ot the general election, which is also the municipal election, and to con duct its nominations and elections in any manner the administration may see fit, so long as the provisions of the state constitution are observed. The question was brought up by the action of the. Portland city attor ney In advising yesterday that entries for the political race in Portland be closed because of the 28-day limit set by statute. His advice was followed by the Portland city auditor. "It looks as if we are up against It," Mayor J. A. Eastes declared this morning after reading the section of the statute In question. Thon he asked for the opinion of Mr. Benson. ' If the statute were literally fol lowed here the city would have no elections nnd the present mayor and council would be compelled to hold over, as no tilings have as yet been made.
