SEVENTH OLYMPIAD CONTESTS; I
BIG ATTENDANCE IS EXPECTED
NEW YORK, July 21 (by Associated
Press).—When President Gustavus T.
Kirby of the American Olympic com
mittee returned from his recent offi
cial visit to Antwerp, Belgium, he pre
sented an exhaustive and very inter
esting report of his visit to the scene
of the coming Olympic games, to the
other members of the national com
mittee. Almost every line of the
lengthy document is of interest to fol
lowers of athletics, as Mr. Kirby has
gone into detail in reference to the j
contests in which America will be rep-1
resented. The following excerpts
from the report give readers a good
idea of the vastness of the arrange
ments which have been made for the
world’s greatest athletic competition:
“The marathon race will not be laid j
from Brussels to Antwerp as was orig- J
\
inally contemplated, for the reason j
that numerous railroad crossings;
would make such a course too dan- J
gerous and to build stairways or in
cline ways over the railroads would be
too exhausting to the runners. The
course has been changed, therefore,
and the runners will start in the sta
dium, follow the course for half the j
distance, and return over the same j
course to the stadium, which will be j
circled once. The course is practically j
flat, there being but one hill near
Malines and this is of but little con
sequence as hills are considered by us.
The surface over which the run will:
take place has about 90 per cent of;
dirt or fine broken stone, being a j
rather narrow bicycle path alone the ■
main highway. As it is, 10 per cent
of the distance will be on Belgian'
blocks, and not of the best laid Bel
gian blocks at that. Moreover, the
bicycle path is so narrow that until
the runners become strung out many
of them will have to run on the main i
highway of Belgian blocks.
HOUSING
“As has been announced by the Bel
gian Olympic committee, its plans for
the housing of the teams was, and is,!
to place them in the numerous school!
houses in the city. Your president, I
after considering the situation very j
carefully, concluded that the plan of j
the committee was by all odds the
best one and has therefore, arranged
for the athletic team, the swimming
team, the gymnastic team, and in fact
all of the teams excepting the shoot
ing. rowing, polo and horse riding, to
be housed in the school for boys at
the Rue Oudean. This school is one
of the largest in Antwerp. It is sup
posedly large enough to lodge 400, but
the entire building will be turned over ,
to the American teams. The rooms
are large and airy, and the building ,
faces on the street and a large interior .
court yard, approximately 60 by 60 .
feet, containing trees, walks and
benches, and is a very pleasant and ,
suitable place.
, AMUSEMENTS .
“The Belgian Olympic committee is j
bo arranging its program of events j
as to make it possible for the contest-j j
ants in one sport to see the contests in ,
the other sports. In the afternoon the t
swimming events will be decided, the j
last in point of time each day being t
the water polo. In the evening in the 1 '
large amphi-theater at the zoological (
gardens in the center of town will be ,
held the wrestling and boxing con- t
tests. In addition to the opportunity £
thus given for the members of the £
various teams to enjoy the sports. ^
there will be various festivities such j
as were held at Stockholm. (
“Victor Breyer, editor of the 1’Eche ^
des Sports, has invited the American ,
team to take part in the athletic meet
ing in Paris on the Sunday following
the finish of the athletic events in *
Antwerp, their expenses to Paris
paid and the proceeds of the meeting
going to some charitable institution.
Your president has stated that no invi
tation could be accepted which would 1
in any way interfere either with the, 1
events or festivities of the seventh i
Olympiad. 1
ROWING 1
“Date, August 27 to 29. Place: On £
the canal running through Brussels. ^
The race will start at the village of f
Vilvorde, about 30 minutes by auto *
from Brussels, and considerably longer t
by train from Antwerp. The water is I
absolutely still and the canal is ap
proximately 60 meters wide. It is said
that races for four eight-oared crews
in one heat have been held on the
canal, and it is contemplated that in g
the finals of the eights, as with the
other events, there will be three
£
crews or contestants. The canal is
not only narrow but shallow, especial
ly on the edges, probably not being
more than three feet deep on each
side. Along one side of the canal runs
a railroad and on this there will be
an observation train. On the other
side there is a road along which autos
will be permitted.
CYCLING
“Date: August 9 to August 22.
Place: On the concrete motor track
near the stadium, such track being
saucer shaped and having had added
thereto an additional concrete strip
about seven feet wide at the bottom
of the ’saucer,’ such strip having but
little slope and thereby permitting
one to ride without speed. This strip
is not sufficiently wide to allow more
than one man to pass another thereon.
It is possible to pass by riding up the
slope of the main track and probably
with speed; one would do this in any
event.
RECREATION
“The many places of refreshment
in and around the city give opportun
ity for rest and recreation, and the ex
cursion to the battlefields can be taken
at almost any time. There is no doubt
whatever that the visitor to Antwerp
will have not only the opportunity of
seeing the best sport of the world, but
also a most interesting and educa
tional time in visiting many other
places near.
“Belgium is certainly on its toes in
the rehabilitation of its industries and
commerce and the reconstruction of
its country and while much is still
left to be done, so far as the tourist
is concerned he will find the trains
running on regular scheduled time,
the shops well stocked, the food of
the best and prices approximately that
of our own country, certainly no more
and probably somewhat less, by rea
son of the present rate of exchange.
The hotel and housing problem is the
most serious one, for it is a fact that
the hotels in Antwerp are overcrowded
and that those in Brussels and at other
cities, while not so bad, must have
reservations made therein in advance
to be saire of proper accommodation.
So far, however, as concerns the vis
itors to the Olympic games, it can be
stated with positiveness that all will
be properly housed by the Belgian
Olympic committee, for the people of
Antwerp wrill not permit visitors to
their city, and especially American vis
itors, to be imposed upon, or uncom
fortably lodged.
“The housing committee has re
ceived offers from the best people of
A.tnewrp for the use in their homes
)f rooms which are large and comfort
ible, many with modern conveniences
ind all of the character wherein any
visitor should be comfortable. All
hat is necessary for anyone about to
usit Antwerp to do, is to send full
tnd explicit information to the Amer
can Olympic Committee, Antwerp,
Belgium, stating just what is wanted, .
he time of arrival, the period of oc
cupancy, the number and charter of
he individuals or family to be cared
or and the maximum amount willing
o be paid for the accommodations,
nhe representative of the American
)lympic committee will then take up
vith the Belgian committee the mat
er of obtaining the accommodation de
ired and the applicant can rest as
ured that on his, or her, arrival at
Antwerp, proper accommidations will
>e found. If time suffices, the appli
ant will be notified by letter or tele
;raph just where to go on arriving at
Antwerp.”
