ANTWERP, May 26 (by Associ
ated Press).—Unless America is con
tent with a possible victory in field
and track events, she must send
strong teams to represent the United
States in military, equestrian, golf,
tennis and other sports outside of
track and field if she hopes to win
the seventh Olympiad on points.
This was the general viewpoint of
European sport enthusiasts who at
tended the ice hockey and skating
«vents, opening the Olympiad.
Sweden, which won the 1920
Olympiad on points, although Amer
ica was victorious in track and field,!
will send strong teams to Antwerp,
competing in practically every event.
The Swedes expect to be particu
larly strong in swimming and gym
nastics and these sports, as well as
shooting, equestrianism and other
“outside” events, count just as heav
ily in the point totals as weight
throwing, running and jumping.
Other European nations, which spe
cialize in horsemanship, fencing, arch
ery, wrestling and half a dozen other
varieties of sports, are to send crack
teams for these events.
In 1912, at Stockholm, Sweden
scored a total of 128 points to Amer
ica’s 126, this being the count before
Thorpe was disqualified on charges
of professionalism, when the six
points he had won for the two firsts
in the all round events—the modern
penthalon and decathlon — were
.awaraeci to wisianuer, a sweue,
making the final count Sweden 134
to America’s 120.
It is realized here that the United
States team will be under great ex
pense both lor transportation and
bousing which may militate against
the large representation necessary to i
win in a number of competitions out
side of the track and field games.
The contestants in the ice hockey
and figure skating matches expressed
surprise at. the high rates asked for
board and lodging and the Antwerp
newspapers are already protesting at
the increased prices of hotel accom
modations which must be paid by
spectators and participants in the
Olympic games. The Olympic com
mittee has arranged to control prices
and prevent profiteering by individual
householders who will rent rooms, un
der the committee’s supervision, but
the hotels, which naturally have the
most desirable accommodations, al
ready have increased their charges
and are expected to raise prices even
higher.
Their proprietors plead the de
crease in the value of the franc and
the increased cost of maintenance:
as justification, but the Antwerp \
Matin suggests that they, too, should
be controlled.
Writing of the experiences of some
foreign athletes here for the Olym
pic ice events, the Matin says these
athletes found hotel prices here
higher than any place else in Eu
rope.
“These athletes had two rooms, one
w oiuia^ i. uuiu aau tuv ^
a bedroom, with a bath attached,” j
the newspaper said. “They paid 350
francs—not per month—but per day!
for them.”
The Belgian committees have ex
pressed hope of accommodating all!
the athletes and visitors comfortably'
during the summer, but local hotel
accommodations are seriously lim-j
ited, even during normal times, and
it will be only by packing the vis-1
itors in private homes and requisi
tioned school buildings or other large j
halls that even sleeping quarters can
be found.
Tins is the natural result of five
years of war and enemy occupation,
during which no new buildings were
constructed but, according to the
Americans and others who were here,
for the Olympic skating events, and
were disappointed with their accom-'
modations, the man who expects aj
room with a bath, or even the use of
bath, in Antwerp this summer, had j
better stay at home.
The available hotel accommoda
tions have already been largely re
served in advance, and the German
army of occupation took back to
Germany a majority of the few bath
tubs which did exist in Antwerp’s
private houses,
A partial relief from the congested
conditions may be gained by de
flecting a portion of the tourist and
games contingent to Brussels, which
is but an hour’s ride from Antwerp.
As the hotel accommodations there
are much better, it is thought that
many of the visitors attending the
games- will seek reservations there.
Brussels, however, is regularly crowd
ed with tourists, its hotels being full
most of the time, and those wishing
accommodations there will have to
telegraph for reservations weeks
ahead.
Although plenty of beer and wine
are to be had in all Belgium cafes,
spectators anticipating a chhnce to
drink stronger liquors will find them
selves disappointed in the cafes, as
spirits are only sold in quantities of
two quarts or more, and then for
private consumption.
