Much Interest In Sports
I bate this statement on what t saw and
Miil and was told on my recent trip to
Kwcden. In tho first place, I will aay that
sorts wcro never at a higher point of In.
lifest or efllclency than (hey are at the
tTrtsent tlmo In Sweden, Norway and Don
.rV Thero has been much written about
It., irln the American football and track
teams mado abroad, but I want to say here
that the Swedes nro a comlnir nation In
sport and their Interest Is very high at the
PfEach city seems to tnko pride In Its
young men who kt out nnd do things on the
porting' field, and It Is not among a few
lovers of that particular line of sport, but
all tho people seem to bo talking and think.
Jnr sport. Football seems to get more at
tentlon than tho other branches, but track
e gradually getting; lta hold on the peoplo
and will soon bo tho loading light In sport.
JUclnjr In England
But to get to tho work In tho snorting
line that Is going on In England and der
many oven In theso tlrraas. At Kirkwall,
wberi we wero held up for Inspection by
tho English, wo got hold of both Scottish
and English newspapers. All tho Scottish
papers had their pago for sports, and It was
about used up with nccounta of tho last
week's football matches. Tho Celtics and
the Ranger, tho two biggest professional
football clubs In Great Britain, aro playing
the same as ever, and tho league matches
Stilt are going. Horse racing was In full
swing from nil tho newspaper accounts nnd
the English papers devoted a lot of space
to tho predictions, comment nnd results of
this racing.
I did not, however, read much about
track, an It was not the season for that
sport In England. I know that amateur
running has not been very active tn Eng.
land for the last year, however, as I was

SprlMs Popular
I talked' to the officers and sailors who
boarded our boat and they all wtrs well
versed on running and Rrtew all that was
happening lit It One fellow told alt about
the raw between Applegatth and DonMnon,
the two grest Engllih professional sprint
' Tner ran two races on one afternoon,
too and 10 yards, before a Urge crowd,
tne receipts to go to charily. Applfgarth
gars Donaldson three yards and was beattn
easily by four In the 100, hut beat Donald
on In the 110. The eamo fellow told us
thai there were many such meets and they
cio u ior crrarity
The most Interesting news I found, how
ever, came from Mr, T-Aftman. tho secretary
of the Swedish A. A. V. Mr. Laftman
spent eererM weeks In Merlin last summer
and while there met the Oermati members
of the Olympic Committee. Ite was very
much Impressed with the work that was
being carried on by the Germans In the
sporting line. He told me that they spent
every opportunity In having football
matches and track meets. Thero aro many
athletes In Germany at the present time and
they are training them all the time. Ho
saw several very good performances, one
being. a sprinter do 51 seconds for 100
meters arid Another was a young fellow of
about eighteen years, feet In tho broad
Jump.
German Prepare
He Is of the Impression that tho Germans
will have eomo good men when tho war Is
all over, and says that they are determined
to carry erf honors In tho Olympto Games,
aa they proposed doing In 1316, when this
war Is over. Most of tho work In training
Is carried on In the training camps and the
sports aro held In the new stadium which
was erected In 1011.
I did not hear much About the French
In the sporting line, so cannot soy anything
about their work In this line during tho
war, but I think that wo can rest assured
that thoy, too, nro holding some kind of
nthletlcs even now. Tho Russians never
were very good In 'track, so I don't Imaglno
thero Is any being held now.
This goes to show that they have not
forgotten nor lost Interest In athletics even
with this great war over their heads, and I
think that when It Is all over athletics will
be one of the first of the activities In the
warring nations to get back on Its feet.
Dut when you come to think of It, why
should they drop this branch, which has
done most to make men physically able to
carry on tho hardships which they have to
endure- In the trenches and on the battle,
fields?
