OTIiEItS MAKE COMPLALVT. America Is not alone in her pro- testations against bad treatment. Bweden has withdrawn ajl her men from the Oraeco-Roman wrestling contests on the ground that one of the , Swedish representatives, Ander son, was unfairly deprived of a bout yesterday. Both the English and th Ameri cans firmly believe that their men are absolutely right snd the others wholly wrong an4 the resuls is likely to be extrernely damaging to Anglo American athletics for years to coma Lieutenant Halswelle is a gentleman of the highest standing and an of ficer of a popular regiment, which counts for much with his country . men. who are certain that he would not knowingly profit by an unfair Hiiim in Vila nwn fnvnr or accuse 'an opponent of a foul unlebs sure gf "the facta. It Is an undeniable fart that - Aaterlcah athletics have not been .popular In England silica the fatnon Cornell rowing episode. The public mind has been charged with the h - lief that American amateurs ar tainted with DrofesHlonallam and tlilx suspicion has been vastly increased by harges of the sort reproduced from American magaalnrs. The other events of the day eeen unimportant compared with thi eruption over the 400-metre rscs. The 200-metre sprint was a splendid contest. Kerr, the Canadian, won as was expected, hut the Americans, Cloughon and Cartmell, gave him a fierce struggle, the three finishing almost together. Kerr received an ovation. The Americans applauded him aa enthusiastically as his own - people did. AMERICANS CAPTURE HIGH JUMP. -'The standing high Jump waa at . most 'exclusively an American event. Ray Ewry, N. T. A.

The event of the afternoon was, of course, tho game of ball. It was to have beeh a contest - between tha locals and Concord a team, but swollen streams and wrecked bridges between here and Cabarrus' capital prevented the visitors from reaching here. But at a late hour a game was arranged with Cornelius, Davidson's near neighbor,. A good crowd gath ered on Sprunt Athletic Field to see what turned out to be a glorious de feat for Davidson, as .Cornelius proved too strong, and won by a acore of 5 to 0.
