"Wait and Be Calm" Officials Believe War
tt'fy ' win iiiiQ
- By EDWARD R. BTJSHNELL
Wsplte of the war which has Involved
Marly every nation In Europe, the Ger
man Olympic Committee has not yet
given, up hope of holding the sixth quad
rennial Olympic sports at Berlin In July,
1816, A communication asking for Infor
mation on this point, addressed by the
writer through Dr. Alvln C. ICraennteln,
the coach of the German Olympic team,
but now Ih this country, to the German
committee brought back this laconic
reply!
"Be calm and wait."
So confident are the members of the
German Olympic Committee that success
will attend German arms, and In plenty
of time for them to recover themselves
and prepare for the games on schedule
time, that they not only have not asked
the. International Olympic Council, of
which Baron Coubertln, of France, Is
president, to relievo them of the duty of
holding the games, but thoy have not
even suggested that America or some
other country take Ihem off their hands.
The Inquiry as to Germany's plans and
prospects was nddressed to Lieutenant
Carl Diem, chairman of the German
Olympic Committee! Lieutenant Diem Is
still at the front and no communication
could bo had with him. The German 're
ply, therefore, was sent by Dr. Martin
Berner, also a member of the comm'iee,
who had returned from the front to re
cuperate at Berlin from a wound.
i AX OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
Doctor Berner explained the condition
of athletlcsvind the general Olympic sit
uation at considerable detail. And since
this Is the first official statement from
the German committee portions of his
letter are of unusual Interest and Import
ance. Among other things Doctor Ber
ber says:
"The Government appropriations, as
well as German sport, nro naturally in
fluencert by the great wnr. We hope,
however, for a happy ending of the wnr,
and to taUe up with renewed vigor our
work, which has already borne such
apleudld fruit. In the present crisis.
"About the fate of the Olympic games
f .there Is nothing to say at this time, for
tho men who are to make the decision
as to where and under what conditions
the Olympic games are to take place In
Berlin are all at the front. In the mean
time, at we Germans say, be calm and
wait. Fortunately, Baron Coubertln, the
president of the Olympic Committee, also
shnres these views.
"The United States will surely realize
the difficulties of the -condition of sport
and will await patiently your decision.
. Wo know that Bartow S. Weeks, as suc
cessor to Sullivan, will do good work.
It pleases us that you yourself are still
WEAR, HEAVILY
HANDICAPPED, IS
RACQUETS WINNER
Longacre Loses Out Despite
Four Aces and One Hand.
Scores Are 1 5-7,
and 15-9.
15-7
In the first round of the. handicap sln
, rles racquets tournament at the Racquet
Club today, J. W. Wear, Joint holder
with Dwlght F. Davis of the national
doubles title, defeated John Longacro In
straight games. This was a considerable
achievement when It was learned that
Longacre had received a handicap of
four aces and one hand, while Wear
owed him five aces In the bargain. In
other words, Wear was, called upon to
score five acea before he could begin to
' count, while his opponent began with
four aces and had twice as many serv
ices. The first game went to Wear, 15-7. In
his first hand, after Longacre had lost
tho service without adding anything to
his allowance of four. Ware secured five
aces, and In the second hand a run of
eight made tho score eight aces to four
In favor of Wear. Three of the eight
were service aces. Longacre scored three
scattered aces and In his seventh hand
Wear ran out the game.
The score of the second game was the
same as the first, and, continuing with
the service. Wear scored Ave aces before
he went out by hitting the telltale. Each
scored a single ace In the next hand, and
a run of six, together with two other
scattered aces, gave Wear a safe lead,
although It took, five more hands to run
out the game.
Longacre Becured five aces In the third
and last game. In addition to his handi
cap of four, although In his third hand
he spoiled a good chance of winning the
same by serving- a double fault. With
the score eight aces to nine in favor
of Longacre. Wear made a. fine run of
alx acres, all but one of them coming
irom kills Just over the telltale,
The summary:
J. W. Wear ... , ,15 15 15
Owe 5 aces.
John Longacre , 7 7 9
Received 4 acea and 1 hand.

at the disposal of the German committee.
Your return docs not seem to us Impos
sible, as you have here only admirers
of your art, and hardly a single opponent.
About the fate of your friends here, I
will mention tho following:
"The entire lmperiat German Commis
sion Is under arms.
"Lieutenant Diem was Injured In the
first big march on Paris. He has re
cuperated, however, and has rejoined the
army as an officer of a brigade staff,
"Joseph Waltzer, serving as n lieuten
ant In a Bavarian troop, was also
wounded and Is now returning for n sec
ond time to the front,
"Walter von Relchmann, who nt tho
beginning of the war was first lieutenant,
Is now a captain and commands a bat
ter In HusMan Poland.
"I myself, as tho result of a wound, have
not been able to return ns yet, but hope
to make up for It presently. Captain
Itossler Is In command of a company
somewhero In France and up to the pres
ent tlmo uninjured.
"Malossa has recently returned from
Poland with n. slight wound.
"Itau and Prince Frederick Karl nro
well and cheerful. As for that Mr. Kohl
mpy will give you further accounts of tho
fate of the active athletes. Unfortunately
the war has made a big gap."
DOUBT BERLIN CAN HOLD GAMES.
The neutral country which Is most
Ideally situated to hold the games Is the
United States. Even If they were held
In Berlin, the United States would furnish
the majority of tho point winners. It,
therefore, Beems the part of wisdom for
the German commission to decide at the
earliest possible moment whether or not It
can hold the games, nnd then, If there In
any uncertainty, to ask the United States
to tako them for 1916, with the under
standing that In 1920 they should be given
to Berlin. It Is true that nt the last meet
ing of tho International Olympic Council
tho 1920 games wero awarded to Buda
pest. But since the Austrlans are the al
lies of the Germans, thero Is no doubt
that the Austrian Olympic authorities
would permit Germany to hao them In
1920 under such nn arrangement.
There are any number of places that
the games could be held In the United
Stntes. Philadelphia Is already equipped
with a stadium where the games could bo
held without much expense, but If suffi
cient notice were given. It nould be pos
sible for half a dozen other cities to con
struct stadiums suitable for holding them.
The letter of Doctor Berner indicates
that the reports received In this country
of the (fcath of many of Germany's ath
letic stars nre much exaggerated. For
Instance, Rau, Germany's best sprinter,
Is In tho best of health nnd not dead, as
reported. Although Doctor Berner says
the war has made a big gap In the Olym
pic athletes. It Is likely that more of them
nie alive than Is generally believed.
Thomas Enters Protest
CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-Presldent Thomas,
of the Cubs, today addressed a strons
piotcst against the National League In
terpretation of tho 21-p!ayer limit rule
to President Tcner. According to tho offi
cial announcement, the team with a
plalng manager may have only 21 play
ers, Including the boss, while tho club
with a bench manager may have 22, In
cluding the boss. President Thomas de
clares this Is unfair and a handicap, ns
the bench manager Is also In the game,
especially those who don uniforms and
get on the coaching line.

A bleak and cloudy wilderness, un

How strange that these Men valued

That made for doom and death!

Year aftft year; that knew
The slow rewards of industry and

Wantonly overthrew;

Bill Larned'a New Start
W. A. Larncd ruled tho realm of
American lawn tennis for a long period
of play. He stayed on top until Mc
Laughlin and old Doc Time together
went ufter his crown, and while still a
flno player is now beyond the cham
pionship zone.
But Larned has new dreams of addi
tional conquests. Ho started golf some
time ago, and some day he hopes to
go after the top of the field, which Is
no part of an Impossibility.
Larned proved this down in Florida
when he gave Walter J. Travis a battle
to tho end, holding- the veteran even
most of the distance. Larned la espe
cially good at putting and the short
game In general, and if he rtleka at It
with hla rare knack for competitive
sport, Messrs. Oulmet. Travers, Evans
undfKlrby may soon have another rival
In the field.
Offside Plays
No entry, blessed with patience, ever
needs to be a duffer at any game he
tackles.
The bulk of all alibis are due to a
superabundance of pride,
For the guy who Isn't overly proud
knows he has a fair share of trim
mings and failures comlnir his way.
Cobb and 1015
J.
Ty Cobb Is now 28 years old. He
has faced 10 seasons under the Big
Tent, and within two weeka will be n
active training for hla llth campaign.
Cobb, when In action, takes greater
chances than any other man In the
game. He plays harder and travels
at higher speed. Lacking the power
and bulk of Wagner and Lajole, mora
than one sport historian .figured several
years ago that CobVs oareer would
hardly run beyond 10 campaigns. They
figured some bad injury or a general
gearing down of the system from the
heavy strain would soon start him
back.
Yet after 10 years here Is Tyrus still
