European War Halts the
Plans for Olympic Games
Germany Had Been Preparing Its Athletes to Give United
States More Opposition Until the War
Was Declared.
Br DtCK HOWARD.
Just about the time the European
war broke out last Augrust. all the
leading countries were making plans
and looking- forward to furnish the
United States more opposition in the
Olympic games which are scheduled to
be held again in 1916.
Looking back over the summer of
1312 it will bo remembered that the
American athletes easily outclassed the
foreign men and won the great inter
national affair without a great amount
of trouble.
England, Germany, and Sweden, the
countries which contributed most to the
games, had been granted large Appro
priations to defray the necessary ex
penses and furthermore all hands were
occerting every possible effort to win
personal glory in the eyes of the huge
following.
William Armstrong, of Laeross. Wis.,
is the authority for revised methods on
the part of the foreign countries in
placing their men in the Olympic
games. This is especially true with the
Germans. The Teutons are universally
conceded as the most intellectual of our
foreign friends and not being as far
advanced in athletics as the Americans,
they are to use the same tactics of the
younger country.
The foreign athletes are the greatest
hero worshippers in the world. Naturally
they have been under the impression
that the more events they can win. the
greater their prowess. This method ha3
proved an absolute failure. The men
have been enterting in so many different
t-vents that they have been unable to
do themselves justice in any one event
end for this reason have kept thur va
rious countries down in the scoring.
It is known that the leading runners of
the L'nited States do not enter in more

than two evr-nts, but they do th-'se well
and have been able to outclass their
foreign rivals. Germany, as well as the
other countries are going to train th' ir
men in the future in this manner, in an
effort to achieie greater sueeess.
Notwithstanding the early date, Ger
many had granted accommodations to
her athletes last summer in prepara
tion of the 1916 Olympic games. With
the headquarters in Berlin, the Teutons
were working in earnest and promt -U t
to spring a great surprise in the next '
meet.
The greatest qualification of the Ger- J
mans lies in their determination and
never-say-die spirit. It has long been
said that even if the Germans did not '
have the natural ability of their opp- I
nents that their spirit would offset this 1
handicap.
In Rau, Germany has one of the great- '
est sprinters in the country. This flyer ,
finished second to Craig, of the Ctuver
sity of Michigan, in 1912. Craig ran the
100-meter race in 10 1-5 seconds, and the '
fact that Rau was second goes to shon
that he is quite a capable man, espe- ,
cially after participating in three other
events. Another star of Germany is Her- j
of this country, in the l,5u0-meter race
in the same affair. It may be interest
ing to note that these two men are care
fully watching the work of the leading
men in their class and are determined to
land the honor in the next meeting.
The foregoing merely brings out again
lllC l.ill& .lt.11 IOHLA Ul WIV Jl I tllll (Jill i
pire in an athletic way, and explains
in itself why the Germans are well up
in the running when an international
comparison, of any kind, is made. 1
There seems to lie little doubt but that
Germany is far above the other foreign
countries in athletics, and we may live
to tee the day that they are in a class
with the athletes of the l'nited States, j

or. It has now been superceded by
trapshooting. the name of which Is of
American origin, and inanimate targets,
the product of American inventiveness,
have accordingly been substituted for
livo birds.
Of course. In all this history, there
have been Intcrostin stages. 'Hie traps
use at the "Old Hat" were shallow
boxes, each almut one root long ana
eight or ten inches wide, sunk in the
ground level with the surface. A sliding
lid was operated by pulling a string.
this liberating the bird.
Among the famous piseon -shooters of
that city was Richard Toomer, to wnom
Mr. Johnson referrfd in his cyclopedia:
Th exploits which if. Toomer per
formed in shooting with su' h apparent

tained by bis frequently suffering him
self to be blind-d with a double hand-
k.i ln.f ov.-r his eves, after having
taken his aim, and then to lire and hit
small object."
In 1S!1 pigeon-shooting was mentioned
in tlu records ot the Sportsmen s Club.
Cincinnati, and in the forties and a few
ditades thereafter it flourished In New
York and Its virinit. The invention
and adoption of inanimate targets fol
lowed, though the older pastime was
not at once abandoned. A Hoston man.
Charles Tortlock, originated the tlso of
the glass balls for target shooting about

A Philadelphian, a few years later, in
tent, d a target consisting of a paste
board disc, a few Inches in diameter,
with the center cut out to admit a. small
lubber balloon. Punctured balloon,
"dead bird " Clay discs were the next
innovation, but because they were of un
equal hardness and because the traps
were mechanically deficient, the sport
of trap-shooting came near giving up
the ghost.

Aquatic experts are today deeply Interested Iri a new type of swim
ming stroke called a double-trudgeoi crawl It Is a slight modification
of the old trudgeon-crawl stroke. Students of the aquatic sport believe
it will prove more effective than the latter In middle and long dlstanco
swimming. The big advantage of the new stroke Is that it enables the
swimmer to use the power of his legs to greater advantage than In any
of the other styles of strokes.
The difference between the old and new trudgeon strokes Is merely
one of leg drive, tin the trudgeon-crawl the swimmer takes a narrow
sclssor-kick at the finish of the top-arm, th'en performs a continuous
crawl thrash until the time comes for another scissor. In the new
stroke, instead, the first scissor is followed by a fluttering motion of the
feet, then the swimmer rolls gently and introduces a second scissor-klck,
this time driving vlth the other leg at the end for under-arm pull.
Briefly, the leg action is a continuous crawl thrash with narrow sclssor
kick brought in as each arm completes its pull.
The stroke was first exhibited in competition by Joseph Wheatley, of
the New York A. C, holder of the 500-meter American record.

GOLFING HINTS.
Patient Practice Nearly every
one who takes up the game of golf
sooner or later reaches a stage
when he or she desires to Improve
their game. " On the other hand,
nearly every would-be golfer nat
urally prefers the sociability -of
friendly matches every time he
gets the chance to visit the links.
Lucky Is the man who, -when he
reaches the flrBt point ot ambition,
decides to devote the greater part
of his time to diligent practice, pre
ferably under the guidance of a
professional instructor. Ills prog
ress will be taster and consequent
ly more satisfactory from every
man I know, when he first
took up the game, devoted several
weeks to lessons- before he played
a single round on the links, and
surprised, himself and his friends by
scoring a round under. 90 on his '
first effort. .In less than! two. years'
this man. made rounds' down In the
seventies. '

LEARNED ART OF SELF
DEFENSE BY CHASING
STRAY LITTLE FIDOS
The manly art of self-defense is
not always taught in the gymna
sium by an Instructor of boxing.
Many and novel are the methods
aBelQ. With the allies? Nope, in
the ring ltsejf? Nope. Only light
ers learn to handle their mlts. Earl
Fisher, the Cincinnati boxer, has Just
tipped off the fans Irow he came by
his knowledge of the game.
Fisher frankly admits that he
learned it In a wild and warlike field.
With the allies? Nope. On the dog
catcher's wagon. Always willing to
accept honest employment, Fisher,
lasso in hand, conducted the dog wag
on for several weeks, an4 averaged
nineteen fights a day in the pursuit
of his duties and his prisoners.
"There Is no field on earth," says
the ligbt-welght, "where a boxer can
get more practical experience in emer
gency fighting than with the dog
wagon."

FOOTBALL RULES
i MAKEFEW LAWS
I To Meet Early in February,
i but Not Expected to Inter
fere with Present Code.
The intercolleslate football rules com
mittee will meet In New York early in
February, the exact date not yet belns
decided upon, and for the first time in
a cowl manv years this session promises
to consider the ethics of the came rather
than chances in the rules. Some chances
will be proposed in the playlnc rules, but,
for the most part, the gridiron solons are
well satislied with the technical side of
tho rme.
It is now' certain that pressure will be
brought to bear upon the committee to
brine about two important reforms. One
is to prevent the abuse of the rules per
mlttlnc substitutions, to put an end to
the present practice of sendlnc In sub
stitutes to carry Instructions from the
coaeh to the quarter back or captain,
rather than to relieve exhausted or In
jured players. The rules of the came ex
pressly prohibit side-line coachlnc, yet in
all the bic games of the 1911 season
coaches sent a procession of substitutes,
many of them for no other reason than
to carry messages.
It was suggested that coaches be com
pelled to remain on the bench or off the
Held entirely durinc a game. That sug
gestion was Incorporated Into the rules a
year ago and worked out satisfactorily
during tho 1911 season. But the rules
committee, after closing one door to the
violators of this rule, obligingly left wide
open another, which made side-line
coaching even easier than it was with
the coach on tho side lines. The coaches
adopted the simple expedient of sending
In troops of substitutes for no other rea
son than to carry instructions to the field
general. This was done In virtually all
of the championship games, and the offi
cials were powerless to stop it. As long
as a player is permitted to re-enter the
game after having once been taken out
a coach can take a great many chances
to send In messages, and. If he has plenty
of substitutes, as most of the big teams
have, can make a great many changes
without weakening his team.
If the fairness of this practice were put
squarely up to tho average college coach
he would admit that it violated the spirit
of the rufcs and was an unsportsmanlike
act. Since it is evident that the practice
cannot be stopped without legislation, the
rules ought to be amended so that this
evil can be eliminated.

COMMITTEE WILL
THE CUBS CAME BACK
AFTEB BEING WBECKED
AUD MAYBE MACK WILE
There Is no denying that Con
nie Mack has wrecked the cham
pion Athletics. Without Bender.
Plank, and Collins the Athletics,
at one time held up as the great
est of all ball clubs, do not loom
up as a formidable outfit. Yet the
dope shows that at least one ball
club came back, and came back
strong, after the loss of Its great
est stars.
It was another case of wreck
ing, but different from the case
of the Athletics. Charles W.
Murphy had his own personal
some say prejudiced reasons for
handing first Frank Chance, then
Joe Tinker, and finally John
Evers, walking papers. Yet the
Cubs, with Evers In 1913, were a
success comparatively, and last
season, without Evers, they were
more than formidable.
It doesn't seem reasonable that
a club can lose three such men
as Collins, Bender, and Plank and
stay in the first division, but the
fans will not be excessively sur
prised if the Athletics arc In the
fight again next year.

Charlie Murphy will get back his old
Job as president of the Cubs.
Chief Bender will play with Cleveland.
Harry Davis will manage the Athletics.
