Late as it may now appear to refer to the Olympic Games recently concluded ab Stockholm, no apology is perhaps needed, for with the excitement of International contests now abated, some strange happenings have come to light. One in particular i well worthy of note. Collier's Wer a well-known New York journal, discussing the" Olympic Games. states. the following "The young men who had the honour of carrying the American colours in the Olympic Games were happier in their accomplishment than in some of their historians. In the "New York American" for instance, we read that Mr. C.'s running proved him to be on the brainiest as well as the swiftest runners of the day.' The Olympic rules have no penalties attached for false starts, so C. proceeded to much time as possible in opponents before rk. After eight false starts, in which Patching was forced to break away with the others, the dangerous South African was completely worn down, and then the Detroit boy went away and ran the race of his life."
The journal adds that the historian who wrote appreciation" 2 the "brainy" sportsman has something to learn about the fundamentals of sport.
