British Olympic Association- Th American dressing r&oms at -the stadhim have been turned Into a camp of discontent and there are other competitors Including the Canadians and Frenchmen who are none too satisfied with the way In which the events of the fifth Olym piad are being carried out. America's chief clause of complaint is the arbitrary manrWtUn which their protest against "the flagrantly unfair method of conducting the tug-of-war" was dismissed. The United Kingdom had three teams entered In the tug-of-war made up of the police of the city of London, Liverpool and, the metropolitan forces. COMPLIED WITH HULKS. The drawings brought the American and Liverpool teams Into the arena first. When the stalwart Americans, neatly dressed In their athletic cos tumes, made their appearance, they received great applause from all sec tions of the stands. They all wore ordinary street shoes, complying with the rule which says: "No competitor shall wear prepared boots or shoes, or iboots or shoes with any projecting nails, tips, springs, points, hollows or projections of uny kind. No competitor shall make uny hole In the ground with his feet or In any other way ''Wore the start." When the Liverpool police appeared It was noticed that they were wear ing enormous shoes, so heavy In fact that It was with great effort they could lift their feet from the ground. The shoes, or boots, were enormous cnlf af fairs that could not by any stretch of Imagination be culled ordinary shoes. Hesrry boots are worn in the British navy, ioui inese were greatly exreeiicu In weight by the footgear of the Liver - pool athletes which. In addition, had steel rims around the heels. AMERICANS KNTElt PROTKST. fatthew V. Hain. the rnanigcr of AnivrlcHn Wnti when -he saw the shoes. Immediately entered a protest to the game officials. Dut he was told that the shoes were those ordinarily worn .by Liverpool policemen. Mr. Halpln decided to no on wit:i the lirst pull, in order to show how unfairly the Americans were being treat-'d. The decision was a wise one, for the f.pectators In the stands nearby could see that as soon as the United King dom team put their weight down, the heels of their shops cut through the turf and gave them a hold that It was almost Impossible to break. The Americans made no effort. Hose, the nnchor miin. not even winding the rop? around his body, and were promptly pulled across the line. Manager Halpln then announced that the American team would not continue unless the rule was adhered l to, and his protest being Ignored, the I men marched off the ground, nn ofll- clal proclaiming through h megaphone I that the Americans retired "beeauue j they have had enough of it." KICK NOT ALLOWED. James K. Sullivan, the American Ins: asslirned the management of ihe various sports to the officials of lh local associations.

Experts estimate that the Georgia peach crop this year will exceed that of Inst by fully 1.000,000 bushels. Already 4. 000 car Inndk have been sent North. An extraordinary rapid movement of this crop Is being made. Peaches are moving from Fort Valley, the centre or the Oeorgla producing dis trict, to New York City In 43 honrs. Only a few years ago. It required a week for Georgia peaches to get to New York, most of the shipping then being by boat. By reason of the de- velonment of the refrigerator car and the quick movement of perhthahleJ freight trains, growers in any part of the country are finding It possible te plsee their produce In fine condition at the most favorable markets. At regular Intervals along the way, provision hss been made for re-Icing the cars so HUt the fruit may be Just as rich and sweet when it reaches New York as when plucked from h trees. Charlotte supplies one of the most important of these re-Icing sta tions, train load after-train load being-handled at the plant of the Stand ard Ice and Fuel Company dally.
