Stand Poorlibgnce Against The. Finns h and “Soands"

By FRANK GETTY (United Freon 8t!" Correspondent)

NEW YORK, June 25.—On pro dieting an American triumph in the track and field guinea at Parlsi in July, consideration has been given to the fact that as the races get longer thl‘ country's strength lessens. -

in the sprints, the United States is- supreme. Four men could acquire the dread "Charley horse" or suffer some other calamity, and we have four other shout-distance men to fill their places.

But there are 23 events on the track and field program, and in some of the others America will take a bscit scat.

The Frtnch have. succeeded in arranging matters so that only four men from any one nation can enter ay one event, with exception of tho marathon. in wiilcli six may start. This means that the most points this country can win in the 100 meters, for instance, is 22.

' lt ‘would not be surprising if we did get just that many in both the 100 and 200 meters.

1n the 400 meters we have J. Coal-d Taylor's ~record breaking run at Cambridge to raise our hopes of ultimate victory and n place at the top of the flagpole. but here the ingress of European stars upon the polnt-wliiuiiig places begins.

In the 800 meters, with Bill Rich- ardson, Leland Stanford S. C. Each, Penn State's great runner; My. Dodge, Ray Watson and the game, but inexperienced. "Soapy" Wstters, the United States is well represented but it l5 probable that "the French, English and other
