many truths in II and It emphatically
states tin- views of a true-blue Repub

Is herewith given because It coincides
with the' views of the editor eif this
paper:

HE American athletes, who proved the stellar attraction of the Olympic
games in Stockholm, kept up their training aboard ship on the way
over. An improvised track was marked out on one of the decks of
the Finland, and the sprinters made good use of It. The figures shown
In the picture, from left to right, Andrew Sockalexis, an Indian of Old Town,
Me.; Lewis Tewanlma of Carlisle Indian school and John Reynolds and Mike
Ryan of the Irlsu-American Athletic club of New York, all participated iu
the tweuty-flve mile Marathon, the classic of the Olympic games. Sockalexis
finished fourth and Tewanlma seventeenth. "Reynolds and Ryan found the
heat and course too much for them and quit before the finish. The athlete
shown doing a stunt In the ship's rigging is Jack Ellcr of New York, who con
tested In the hurdle events, but was unplaced.
