OLYMPIC GAMES.

The Olympic games of 1904, held in the stadium of the Louisiana

Purchase Exposition, at St. Louis, were without question the greatest

athletic games ever held in the world.

This was the third Olympic

gathering under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee,

of which Baron Pierre DeCoubertin of Paris is the President. To Baron

DeCoubertin is entirely due the idea of the revival of the Olympic

games as well as the organization of the International Olympic Com-

mittee.

The first Olympic games approved by the International Com-

mittee were held at Athens in 1896, the second at Paris in 1900,

and it was decided by the International Committee to hold the third

Olympic meeting in the city of Chicago during 1904. When it became

apparent that the Worlds Fair was to have a well established Depart-

ment of Physical Culture, with athletic games of all descriptions,

it suggested itself to those interested that it would not do to have

in America during the year 1904 two large athletic gatherings, as one

must necessarily suffer. Chicago had organized an association for the

conduct of this meeting and had also appointed committees, and it

looked at one time as though there was a possibility of a conflict.

This, however, was averted mainly through the instrumentality of

Mr. A. G. Spalding and Mr. Frederick J. V. Skiff, both Chicago men,

Mr. Skiff being the Director of Exhibits at the Worlds Fair. The

result was that Chicago gave way and recommended to the Interna-

tional Committee the giving of the games to St. Louis, which was

agreed to.

There is no necessity here of dwelling at any great

length upon the Olympic games contests or upon the success of future

Olympic games.

It is fair to say, however, that to America must

be given the absolute credit of carrying to a success the Olympic

games, the like of which will never again be equaled until the Olympic

games are brought back to America, as America has set a standard that

certainly will be hard for other countries to follow.

Early in the season the Department of Physical Culture was noti-

fled that it was the desire of the International Committee that all

sports that were to be given under the auspices of the Louisiana

Purchase Exposition must bear the name Olympic, and as a result

Olympic championships in different sports were announced.

The different governing bodies of America appreciated thoroughly

the great good that the Olympic games would do to all organized

amateur sport in America and co-operated cheerfully with the Depart-

ment of Physical Culture toward making the years sports a gigantic

success.

Owing to the conditions in America, particularly the athletic con-

ditions, and the advanced stage we are now in, the Olympic games

S P A L D I N G ’ S O F F I C I A L A T H L E T I C A L M A N A C .

159

were held for many classes.

The sports in the stadium commenced

early In May with an interschoastic meeting, open to schoolboys of

the State of Missouri. An open handicap meeting followed, for resi-

dents of Missouri, and intercollegiate meetings for the colleges of
the Western territory. Interscholastic championships were also held,

as were sectional college championships and National college cham-

pionships, the idea being to select the particular Olympic champions
in each class, because it would be manifestly unfair to ask an ele-
mentary schoolboy to compete with the preparatory schoolboy and the

scholastic champion to compete with the college champion, for changes
and conditions make it impossible for all to compete In one class
with any degree of success.

We have had in St. Louis under the Olympic banner, handicap ath-

letic meets, interscholastic meets, Turners’ mass exercises, base ball,
international gymnastic championship competitions, championships for

public schoolboys, lacrosse championships, swimming champioqships,

basket ball championships, one of the best rowing regattas ever con-

tested, bicycle championships, rouque turnaments, fencing tournament,
a special week for the Olympic Young Men’s Christian Association

championships, tennis tournament, golf tournament; archery tourna-
ment, wrestling, boxing and gymnastic, championships tournaments, as
well as the Olympic games, that decided the world’s championships at
track and field sports.

The Department received over 4,000 entries for the games decided

in the Olympic series and when we include the team competitions and
mass exercises the number of athletes that participated in the stadium
during the year will come close to 9,000. This is certainly a show-
ing from a numerical standpoint of which those who have been con-

nected with this year’s work can justly feel proud.

After the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company secured the

right to hold the Olympic games under the auspices of the Depart-

ment of Physical Culture, the programme for this meeting was given
a great deal of consideration.

The Department had been created, the

Chief had been appointed, and the International Committee, through
its President., Baron Pierre DeCoubertin, delegated its powers to ar-
range the programme to the special committee of the Amateur Athletic

Union of the United States.

This committee met and as far as it

could consistently arranged the athletic programme in conjunction with

the Department. The powers of the American members of the Inter-

national Olympic Committee, who are Caspar Whitney, of New York,

editor of “Outing” ; Prof. Wm. Sloane and James H. Hyde, were sought

by the Department, and Mr. Whitney gladly at all times co-operated

toward making the meeting a success ; in fact, he aided materially in

the organization of the Physical Culture Department of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition.

S P A L D I N G ’ S O F F I C I A L A T H L E T I C A L M A N A C .

After the preliminary work with the Amateur Athletic Union’s

committee, it was necessary for the Department to enlist the sympa-
thies of the other governing bodies throughout America, for it was
felt imperative that in order to make the Olympic games of 1904 a
pronounced success the official endorsement and cooperation of all
American governing bodies was essential, and as a result the National
Lawn Tennis Association, the National Golf Association, the Na-
tional Roque Association, National Archery Association, National
Association of Amateur Oarsmen, and the American Amateur Fencers’
League, gladly co-operated with the Department, took unto themselves
the active management of the different Olympic championships for
their associations and made the same a pronounced success.

The Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, under whose

rules the athletic features were held, deserves the highest kind of
praise for the co-operation it gave to the Department, and so do
the individual active associations that make up that body, together
with all its allied members.

After the preliminary arrangements were perfected and programmes

of the games published and distributed, the question of the Presidency
of the Olympic games received the attention of the Department. The
result was that through the efforts of Mr. Caspar Whitney, the Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, accepted the
Honorary Presidency of the Olympic games for 1904 and David R.
Francis accepted the Presidency of the Olympic games of 1904.

The acceptance of the Honorary Presidency of the Olympic. games

by President Roosevelt was a tribute to all concerned in the creation
of the Olympic games for 1904.

His acceptance proved conclusively

that he approved of the organization, had given the subject a great
deal of thought and believed that the successful carrying out of the
programme meant much to the future success of this country as an
athletic nation.

He can certainly feel proud, as Honorary President,

of the way the Louisiana Purchase Exposition conducted the games.
There was not the slightest hitch; everything was carried on in a
high class manner, and purely in an amateur way, and more has been
accomplished for the future of athletics in this country than could
ever be accomplished by any other method.

The Olympic games, held from August 29 to September 3, brought

together in the stadium the greatest athletes of the world. Never
before in America or any ‘other country were such contests witnessed.
World’s records were made, Olympic records were equaled and sur-
passed and the competitions were keen and interesting. When one
looks over the list of Olympic winners and then over the list of eligible
men in the world, there are perhaps two men living to-day who were

not in the stadium who could have won ‘Olympic honors.

These particular games were made more interesting from the fact

S P A L D I N G ’ S O F F I C I A L A T H L E T I C A L M A N A C .

THE ENTRY LIST.

To President D. R. Francis, Director F. J. V. Skiff and the directors

of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, the American athletes and the
American governing bodies owe a great deal.

The’ object of the

Department of Physical Culture was not to make money. It was be-
lieved that the subject of physical training and athletics had advanced
to such a stage that a department could be created that would, in the
broadest educational way, show to what an advanced state of affairs
athletics had reached. A large sum of money was voted to give games,
to encourage amateur sport, and to show in an educational way what
steps forward had been made.

And it is fair to state that the officials

of the Exposition, from the very first meeting, knew that the whole
work of the department would have to be classified as educational.

The final results of the Olympic games proves conclusively what

has often been claimed, that the colleges of America will furnish the
champion athletes of the future.

During the Olympic games, which extended from May to November,

the prominent colleges of America (with the exception of a few of

the Eastern ones) were represented by teams or individuals who wore
the colors of their college or club.

O L Y M P I C L E C T U R E C O U R S E .

The scientific aspects of physical training and athletics were given

prominence equal to that of the athletic competitions themselves by

the presentation of courses of lectures by many of the world’s authori-
ties on the various subjects. These lectures embraced in most ln-
stances the results of original work not heretofore available to the
public. The whole body of lectures, which are being published by
the Exposition, constitute by far the most extended exposition of the
science of physical training that has ever been made. The most
cursory survey of the titles to these lectures will indicate the vast
range of topics discussed. The plane upon which the work was

carried out is indicated by persons who delivered these lectures, as well

as by the distinguished positions they hold in the physical training,

educational and medical world.

The number of lectures given by each person varied from one to ten.

The names of the lecturers and their subjects are as follows:

E. H. Arnold, M.D., New Haven Normal School of Gymnastics, New

Haven, Conn.-“The Organization and Conduct of School Games.”

After the Department of Physical Culture became thoroughly estab-

lished and it was readily seen what good benefits were resulting there-

from, many gentlemen interested in the advancement of athletics in
the United States decided that it would be only proper to recognize
the man that created the Department, and at a dinner given within
the exposition grounds early in June the following testimonial was
presented to Director Skiff, the presentation speech being made by the
Hon. Joseph B. Maccabe, the present President of the Amateur Athletic
Union of the United States.

KIFF

Dear Sir :

‘The undersigned, believing that a sound mind in a

healthy body is conducive to good citizenship, and that the systematic
training of the young in athletic exercises tends to promote all the
manly virtues and to, better our race in all the relations of life, desire

to express our hearty appreciation of your broad-minded, far-sighted

and patriotic action in establishing, for the first time in the history
of international expositions, a conspicuous, thoroughly equipped de-
partment, devoted wholly to physical culture, in connection with the
universal exposition at St. Louis.

The far-reaching, beneficial results of this new department are

already recognized by our foremost statesmen, notably by the accept-
ance of the honorary presidency of the Olympic games by the President

of the United States.

We do not hesitate to predict that, whatever

other benefits may accrue from this great exposition, those resulting
from the Department of Physical Culture will be most widespread,
most beneficent, and, permanent in real value to our people.

Baron Pierre DeCoubertin, President of the International Olympic
C o m m i t t e e :

COMITE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIQUE.

Dear Mr. Sullivan :

ARIS

, Oct. 19, 1904.

On behalf of the International Olympic Committee, I beg to send

you our warmest congratulations and thanks for the wonderful work

you have succeeded in carrying out the organization of the third
Olympiad.

As a token of our gratitude, I have the pleasure to state that the

medal commemorating the revival of the Olympic games will be award-
ed to you on the occasion of the International Congress to be held in
Brussels in June, 1905, under the presidency of his Majesty the King

of the Belgians.

The value of the souvenir comes from the fact that only a very few

copies have been given away since ten years, their Majesties the
Emperor of Germany and the King of Spain and their Royal High-
nesses the Crown Prince of Greece, the Crown Prince of Sweden and
Norway and the Prince of Wales being among those who said were
glad to receive it. President McKinley also received it after the

vote making the third Olympiad an American one:

We expect you to present a short but substantial report on the St.

Louis games to the Brussels Congress.

Thanking you for the numerous documents and the medals you sent

us and congratulating you once more,

I am, dear Mr. Sullivan,

Very truly yours,

BARON PIERRE DECOUBERTIN,

President of the International Olympic Committee.

OLYMPIC COLLEGE FOOT BALL.

The Department knew perfectly well that it would be unable to

have an Olympic Foot Ball Championship, though it felt incumbent

to advertise it. Owing to the conditions in American colleges it

would be utterly impossible to have an Olympic foot ball champion-

ship decided. The only college that seemed absolutely willing to

give up its financial interests to play for the World’s Fair Champion-

ship was the St. Louis University and there is more apparently in

this honor than appears in this report. There were many exhibition

contests held in the Stadium under the auspices of the Department

wherein teams from the St. Louis University and Washington Uni-

versity took part and competed against other teams from universities

east and west of the Mississippi River. The Missouri-Purdue game

was played in the Stadium on October 28, as was the Carlisle-Haskell

game on November 26, when the men from the Government Indian

Schools competed against each other for the first time.

The Olympic College Foot Ball Championship was won by St. Louis

University, St. Louis, Mo., by default.

The following is the schedule of the foot ball games played in the

Stadium :

Sept. 28—Washington, 10; Shurtleff, 0. Oct. 5—Washington, 16;

Rose Polytechnic, 5. Oct. 8—Washington, 0; University of

Illinois, 31. Oct. 15—Washington, 0; Sewanee, 17. Oct. 19—

A N T H R O P O L O G Y D A Y S A T T H E S T A D I U M .

Held August 12-13, 1904.

In the early months of the Exposition the Chief of the Department

of Physical Culture bad several conferences with Dr. WJ McGee,
Chief of the Department of Anthropology, in relation to the athletic
ability of the several savage tribes, and owing to the startling rumors
and statements that were made in relation to the speed, stamina and
strength of each and every particular tribe that was represented at
St. Louis, it was decided to inauguarate a two-days athletic meet for
them, to be known as “Anthropology Days,” the days being named
after the Department of Anthropology, in honor of Dr. McGee, who
used his influence toward making the days the brilliant success, which
they terminated in.

It would be unfair, however, to proceed with the narrative of the

Anthropology Days without giving a great deal of credit to Dr.
Simms, of the Field Museum, Chicago, for the part he took in
arranging the details and successfully carrying them out, and to

Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick, who did much preliminary work and
acted as referee. The first day the various tribes competed amongst
themselves in the different athletic events selected, and on the second
day occurred the final contests between those finishing first and
second in each one of the tribal events on the opening day.

The Department very wisely held this meeting during the month

of August, so that the many physical directors and gentlemen inter-
ested in scientific work could be present and benefit by the demon-
strations. That the ones interested were deeply disappointed in what
this meeting demonstrated is well known. We have for years been led
to believe from statements made by those who should know and from

newspaper articles and books, that the average savage was fleet of foot,

strong of limb, accurate with the bow and arrow and expert in throw-
ing the stone, and that some, particularly the Patagonians, were noted
for their great size and strength,

and owing to the peculiar life

that many have been called upon to lead they have been termed natural
athletes. Of course none expected that the Patagonians would be
John Flanagans or the Indians Arthur Duffeys or Alexander Grants,
but they certainly expected a great deal more from the savages who

competed in the Anthropology Days than events proved.

We have heard of the marvelous qualities of the Indian as a

runner; of the stamina of the Kaffir, and the natural all around ability
of the savage in athletic feats, but the events at St. Louis disprove
these tales. The records that are published herewith will prove
most interesting, as they are the results of the first athletic meeting
held anywhere, in which savages were exclusive participants.

On the first day of the Anthropology sports the one hundred yards

S P A L D I N G ’ S O F F I C I A L A T H L E T I C A L M A N A C .

251

run was decided in heats, subdivided as follows : Six heats, one for each

of the following classes, Africans, Moros (Philippines), Patagonians,
and the Ainu (Japanese), Cocopa (Mexican), and Sioux Indian tribes.
The fastest time was made by George Mentz, of the Sioux tribe, an
Americanized Indian. His time was 11 4-5s., time that almost any
winner of a schoolboy event would eclipse at will. Lamba, an Afri-
can Pigmy, ran one hundred yards in 14 3-5s. Now the African Pigmy
leads an outdoor life, hunts, runs, swims, jumps and uses the bow
and arrow and spear, and if anything, his life might be termed a

natural athletic one, but, nevertheless, we find that it takes him

14 3-5s. to run one hundred yards. Arthur Duffy, or any of our

American champion sprinters could easily, in this particular race,
have given the African Pigmy forty yards and a beating.

No particular speed, of course, was expected from the Patagonians,

The winner’s time, 13 3-5s., might be considered very poor running
for even an ordinary man in a healthy condition. A Cocopa Indian
ran the one hundred yards in 13s.

The shot putting contest had a great many entries, each tribe com-

peting among themselves. The tribes entered consisted of the Pata-
gonians, the Cocopas, the Indian tribe, the Ainu (Japanese), the
Turks and the Africans. It was in this particular competition that
every one naturally supposed the Patagonians would excel, on ac-

count of their size, strength and remarkable performances credited

to them in strength contests, but nevertheless, the best performance
of the Patagonian was that of 30ft. 5in. This, for putting the 16-lb.
shot, is such a ridiculously poor performance that it astonished all
who witnessed it. It is 18ft. 2in. behind the American record, many
feet behind the interscholastic record, and it is doubtful if there
is a high school championship that is not won with a better per-
formance. This was one of the disappointing features of the day’s
sport.

A glance at the other performances will prove interesting. The shot

competition was won by an Americanized Indian, W. Dietz, who put it

33ft. 10 1-2in. The Japanese Ainus, a very small tribe—a gentlemanly
tribe at that—performed very poorly, one of them putting the shot but

13ft. 7 l-2in. The best performance among the Pigmies was by
Shambo, who put 17ft. 6in., the poorest performance being 11ft. 1 1-2in.

A comparison of these records and the other records in the Almanac

will prove particularly interesting. Of course the argument may be
made that these savages have not been taught the art of shot putting.
Quite true, but one would think that the life these men have led
should enable them to easily have put this shot many feet further.
With the Pigmies, however, it is only fair to state that they entered
into the spirit of this competition for fun, and only became interested
in the pole climbing and their mud fight.

S P A L D I N G ’ S O F F I C I A L A T H L E T I C A L M A N A C .

253

The four hundred and forty yards run had four heats, the American-

ized Indian, George Rye, making the fastest time—63s.—the slow-
est time being, 1m. 10 3-Ss., which was made by Gondola, from one of
the African tribes.

In the running broad jump the different tribes sent forward their

best men, the Americanized Indian, Mentz, of the Sioux tribe, clearing
17 feet. The jumping of the Pigmies, the Ainus, and some of the In-
dians was really ridiculous. Ray Ewry jumped further in the stand-
ing jump than any of them could go in a running broad jump. The
broad jumping, like other sports the savages took part in, proves con-
clusively that the savage is not the natural athlete we have been led

to believe.

When the competition in throwing the base ball was called, it was

particularly noticeable that all the savages, as well as the American-

ized Indians, were anxious to throw. There seemed to be a weird
fascination about the ball that appealed to them. So less than two
dozen took part in throwing the base ball. The first, second and
third places were won by the Americanized Indians, the best throw
of the savages bring that of Coloho, the Patagonian, who threw
214 feet.

The savages did not take kindly at all to the 56-lb. weight. That is

naturally a game for muscular athletes, but nevertheless it was

thought advisable to obtain the records in a performance of this kind,
to see how they compared with our own.  Here is where the Pata-
gonian was supposed to excel, because weight throwing is primarily
a sport that large men excel at, particularly large, athletic, healthy
men.  Three Patagonians competed among themselves, but the best
performance was 10ft. 6in.  This is ludicrous when one considers
Flanagan’s great record, in fact, Flanagan in one throw sent the
56-lb. weight many feet further than the combined score of the three

Patagonians.  The best performance this day at this particular com-
petition was by a young Sioux Indian named Mentz, who threw it
15ft. 11in., and the performances of the Ainus would compel many
to believe that they had a great deal to accomplish in the way of
developing their bodies. Three Ainus took part, one 28 years of age,
one 38 and one 57.  The young man threw it 7ft. 4in., the old man
5ft. and the man 38 years old threw it 3ft. 6in.  It can probably be
said, without fear of contradiction, that never before in the history of
sport in the world were such poor performances recorded for weight
throwing.

The second, and the final, day of the Anthropology sports showed

the savage off somewhat better, because they were given a chance to
show what they could accomplish in some of their own particular
sports. The most marvelous performances at pole climbing ever wit-

nessed in this country was given by an Igorotte, who climbed a pole

S P A L D I N G ’ S O F F I C I A L A T H L E T I C A L M A N A C .

255

about 50 feet in height in 20 2-5s.;the best American record for rope
climbing being 15 4-5s. for 35 feet 8 inches, made by C. E. Raynor,
South Bethlehem, Pa., in 1887. This performance showed conclusively

the marvelous agility, strength of limb, and great endurance of this
particular Igorotte, and it is doubtful if we have any trained athlete
in America who could duplicate that performance with years of train-
ing. The nearest approach to this feat was that of an African who
took 39 1-5 seconds to climb the pole. The times of all the savages
in this particular event were praiseworthy and worthy of record.

Throwing the javelin was another disappointment. The javelin is

3 feet 6 inches in length, and is made of wood, except the head, which
is spear-shaped and made of steel and measures 16 inches. The in-
strument is thrown with one hand only, from a seven-foot circle, at
an object post of soft wood, one foot square, placed some distance
from the circle and four feet above the ground.

The javelin, it will he seen, is thrown in the same style as the

savages throw their spears, and it is to a certain extent an enlarged
spear. At this particular sport it was hoped the savages would
excel, but far from it; they did not, and in three attempts each, only
three out of a couple dozen hit the post 23 feet away.

In the running high jump, the Americanized Indian again out-

classed the savage, the savages showing in very poor form.

The archery contest was another disappointment. We have been

led to believe that the Igorottes, the Africans, the Pigmies, the Coco-

pas, and the Ainus, who have been living for years with the bow
and arrow, and with whom shooting with the arrow is an everyday
occurrence, would exhibit the most marvelous target shooting that
had ever been witnessed. The target, actually four feet by six, was
placed forty-two yards away, and, astonishing to relate, only two of
the entrants pierced the target, the others striking at the bottom
of it. The winner turned up in a little Cocopa Indian boy named

Shake, who pierced the target once. The other Indians, some of

them old and gray-haired, found it impossible to hit it. The reason for
this was explained perhaps to a certain extent by Dr. Simms, who
claimed they did most of their shooting from horseback at moving ob-
jects. Be that as it may, the exhibition of archery shooting by the
savage tribes was very disappointing, particularly to those, who, a few
weeks later had the pleasure of seeing the American archers use their
bows and arrows. The difference was just the same as in other sports.

The Patagonians, in the tug-of-war with the giants, showed remark-

able ability. At bolo and perhaps at pulling, hauling and dragging,

they must have developed muscles that are useful and strong, but

the muscles for shot putting and throwing the weights had certainly
been neglected.

In throwing the base ball for accuracy only two out of a couple

of dozen were able to strike an ordinary telegraph pole at a distance
of 25 feet, the best throw being by Chief Guechico, a Patagonian.

Many started in the one-mile run, and it was believed that the Kaf-

firs and Indians would show great speed. This event, like all the
other runs went to the Americanized Indians in the slow time of
5m. 38s.; Lehouw, a Kaffir, finished third in this race, showing fine

form but no speed.

The Pigmies and the Cocopa Indians at the conclusion of the day’s

sport gave an exhibition of their shinny game, which required team
work, and the uninteresting exhibition showed conclusively
the lack of the necessary brain to make the team and its work a
success, for they absolutely gave no assistance to each other, and
so far as team work was concerned, it was a case of purely individual

attempt on the part of the players. The same could be said of both
games.

The Pigmies indulged in one of their favorite pastimes, a mud

fight, two sides being selected, and it reminded one very much of a
snowball fight of the average American boy. The exhibition was
clever. They showed great dexterity in ducking, throwing and running.
and they altogether redeemed themselves for their lack of interest
in the other sports.

The records that follow should be kept and, no doubt, in years to

come, there may perhaps be another meeting that the savages can
take part in and better performances may be recorded.

Dr. McGee attributes this utter lack of athletic ability on the part

of the savages to the fact that they have not been shown or edu-
cated. He thinks perhaps if they could have the use of a professional
trainer for a short time that they would become as proficient as

many Americans. The writer doubts it, as the exhibitions given on
these particular days do not speak well for them. The whole meeting

proves conclusively that the savage has been a very much overrated

man from an athletic point of view.

It may be claimed that these particular days did not thoroughly es-

tablish the athletic ability of the savage tribes. It was a very hard
meeting to handle and many of them did not perhaps know that they
were expected to do their very best. The Pigmies from Africa were

full of mischief. They took nothing whatever seriously, outside of their
own shinny game and the tree climbing. For the other sports, they
seemed to think that they were brought there to do certain things,

and they did them, which may account for their poor performances.

They tried to run, but did not persevere. The Ainus, a very small
tribe from the north of Japan, were without doubt the most polite
savages the writer has ever met, extremely so. They willingly, and
with pleasant bows to the officials and everyone else, took part in
every sport they were asked to, but it is doubtful if they extended

259

themselves to any great effort One of the Ainus was particularly
interesting and decidedly anxious to jump, and be tried hard, but
could not.

In the one hundred yards run the savages proved, of course, that

they knew nothing whatever about sprint racing. With eight or ten
men on the mark it was a pretty hard thing to explain to them to run
when the pistol was fired. In running their heats, when com-

ing to the finish tape, instead of breasting it or running through, many
would stop and others run under it.

In all these field sports, Mr. Martin Delaney, of the St. Louis Uni-

versity, gave them examples in advance, so that they knew what
was expected of them. It may hare been a mistake in not having
another day, when perhaps, the different interpreters could have ex-

plained to the savages more about what was expected of them, but
nevertheless the “Anthropology Days” mere most successful and inter-
esting, and ones that scientific men will refer to for many years to

come. It taught a great lesson.

Lecturers and authors will in the future please omit all reference

to the natural athletic ability of the savage, unless they can substan-

tiate their alleged feats.

THE OLYMPIC GAMES OF 1908.

:—I have just received the newspapers relating the success

of the III Olympiad, the course of which I have followed with the
greatest interest, though I was unfortunately unable to attend. I

offer you my personal congratulations and I beg you to transmit them

to the honorable members of the Committee, our colleagues.

I regretted very much not being able personally to invite you to the

IV Olympiad, which will be held at Rome in 1908, from the month of
February to the month of July (the Olympic week falling in the

Easter holidays).

In accordance with the decision of the Congress, and in conjunction

with our President, Baron Pierre deCoubertin, and with a committee

of Roman gentlemen, I am at present occupied in working out the

general scheme of the Olympiad and shall make it known to the
Roman committee, which will be definitely formed in the month of
November. Will you, if you please, in the final speech, officially, in
my name, invite your honorable colleagues and the valiant American
champions to the IV Olympiad? Rome, the capital of the ancient
world, will be proud and flattered to receive the nation which is an
example of the vigor and force of the New World.

I enclose you a little scheme of the arrangement “de maxima” of

the Olympic festival of 1908, which, however, I communicate to you
simply semi-officially.

I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you at the Congress, to be

held next year at Brussels, and beg to remain, Yours very truly,

GAMES OF 1908.

Held at London, June 20-26, 1904, and Programme for Olympic

Games of 1908.

The Committee of the International Olympic Games held a meet-

ing at London on June 20, 1904 at the Mansion House, at 10:45.
The Lord Mayor pronounced the opening speech, and welcomed in the

name of the City of London the members of the Congress. Sir C. E.

279

Howard Vincent, M.P., welcomed them in the name of His Majesty
King Edward VII, who had expressed a desire to give his patronage
to the Congress, and to receive the members at Windsor Castle.

There were present:

The President of the Committee of the International Olympian

Games.

For England—Baron Pierre deCoubertin, Sir C. E. Howard Vincent,

Lord Kinnaird, Earl of Darnley, Hon. Herbert Gladstone, Rev.
deCourcy Laffan, Sir Lees Knowles, Sir W. H. Grenfell.

For France—Monsieur E. Caillot, Comte Bertier deSauvigny.

For Germany—Docteur W. Gebhardt, Comte deWartensleeben.

For Italy—Comte E. Brunetta d’Usseaux.
For Sweden—Col. W. Balck, Count Clarence von Rosen.
For Holland—Baron F. deTuyll.
For Belgium—Comte H. deBaillet La Tour.
For Mexico—M. Miguel deBeistegui.
For Denmark—M. Nordenfeld.
The President, Baron deCoubertin, after having sent to His Majesty

the King, the thanks and the respectful homage of the Committee

(which the members heard standing), and to the Lord Mayor likewise

declared the meeting open, and proceeded to read the letters of the

absent members, Messrs. W. M. Sloane, Comte Alexis Mercati. Comte
Majorada del Compo, who for various reasons were unable to attend,
and from Messrs. Kemeny and Gergoud, at the moment, at St. Louis,
taking part in the III Olympiad.

Then the President called upon Comte Brunetta d’Usseaux, in

virtue of his office as Secretary of the Committee, to read the Agenda
of the meeting.

1. Next Olympiad.
2. Organization of the International meeting relating to sports, in

Belgium, 1905.

3. The necessity of a closer union between, the Committee and the

Federations, and the sporting clubs of the different countries.

4. Communications of the members of the Committee.
The Comte d’Usseaux, representing Italy, began by presenting a

formal demand that Rome might be chosen for the celebration of the
IV Olympiad, a request strengthened by a letter from the Mayor or
Rome to the President of the Olympian Committee, and also to the

President of the Committee setting forth the preparatory work to be

done during the winter.

In his turn, Doctor W. Gebhardt rose, in the name of Germany, to

request that the choice of the town which should have the honor of
being the scene of the IV Olympiad might fall on BerIin, and this de-
mand was strengthened by a letter from a high personality, who wrote
to Doctor Gebhardt, that, if Berlin should be chosen for the scene of

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL ATHLETIC ALMANAC.

281

the IV Olympiad the Committee might be sure that Germany would
arrange the affair in a manner worthy of herself and of the Olympiad.

As no other member presented a petition, Rome and Berlin remained

the only towns to be considered.

At this first meeting, it was decided to choose Brussels for the

International Congress of Sports to be held next year, the date being
fixed for the 10th to the 20th of May, 1905. The President informed
the Committee that His Majesty the King of Belgium had accepted the
Presidency of the Congress, in which he takes a great interest. At
the following meetings the other subjects of the Agenda were dis-
cussed, and finally at the fourth meeting, Doctor Gebhaedt, for Ger-
many, having withdrawn his request, and having assured his vote
for the Italian capital, this city was chosen unanimously for the cele-
bration of the IV Olympiad, which will be held in 1908.

Count Brunetta d’Usseaux then presented the proposed programme

for the period, during which the various sports and Olympic games,
approved, will be carried out, arranged thus:

1st Period. From the month of February to Easter (April 19) Na-

tional and International Shooting Matches; Fencing; Horse

Races and Horse Show; Polo; Tennis; Balloon; Longue
Paume; Basket Ball; Foot Ball; Cricket, Rugby; Fire-

man’s Competition.

2d Period. (Easter holidays) International Olympic Games Con-

gress: Automobile Races; Aerostatic Competition Ex-
hibition.

3d Period. (At Civitavecchia or Naples): Regattas for Rowing Boats

(Royal Italian Rowing Club); Regattas for Sailing and

Steam Boats (Royal Italian Yacht Club); Propellers; Life-

saving Competition on Land and Sea, etc.

The cycle will be crowned by fêtes and by an Exhibition of Sports

and Industries relating thereto, and by meetings. The Committee will
also consider and arrange an Art Exhibition.

This arrangement being approved, the members representing Sweden,

Norway, Holland and Denmark request that the Committee should be
the arbiter of the Programme of the Olympiads, and of the arrange-
ments pertaining thereto. Count Brunetta d’Usseaux, representing
Italy, referred to the preceding Olympiads, during which the Committee
had given the greatest liberty of action for the development of the
Programme and asked that the same treatment might be accorded to
Rome. On the other hand, Count Brunetta d'Usseaux undertakes from
the present time to keep the strictest account of all the propositions,
modifications, additions or changes in the Programme which the mem-
bers of the Committee might desire to make opportunely.

Finally, the Committee has decided that at the City of Berlin, which

had so generously renounced its candidature for the IV Olympiad,
should be held the annual Congress of the International Olympic

games in 1906. (The Congress of 1905 taking place at Brussels, on
the occasion of the International Congress relating to Sports.)

The President, Baron deCoubertin, at the end of the meeting, com-

municated officially the deliberations of the Committee to His Majesty
the King of England, His Majesty the King of Italy, and to Prince

Colonna, Syndic of Rome, as well as to the Italian ambassador at
London, Monsieur Pansa, who replied immediately that he had com-

municated them to the Italian Government.

(See at the end the telegram of His Majesty King of Italy.)

His Majesty the King, the Lord Mayor and the members of the

English Committee overcame with kind attention the members of

the Congress during their stay in London.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL ATHLETIC ALMANAC

THE FINEST EQUIPPED GYMNASIUM

IN THE WORLD

The progress made in the manufacture and the mechanical perfection of the

various gymnastic appliances shown in the complete gymnasium installed by

A. G. Spalding & Bros at the World’s Fair, demonstrated that the firm is alive

to the imperative need of the times. Physical training is being rapidly advanced

and in the congested sections of the country it is a growing problem how to pro-

vide for the new conditions. This is particularly true in public school work and

similar institucions. Real estate in large cities is extremely valuable, and as a

consequence gymnasiums are often reduced in size and wholly inadequate to

the growing needs. This means that the apparatus of the past of a fixed or

cumbersome character must be superseded by appliances that may be rapidly

and conveniently handled in a manner to accommodate the constantly increasing

number of boys and girls needing systematic physical development.

A. G. Spalding & Bros, who outfitted the complete gymnasium at the World’s

Fair and received the Grand Prize and Gold Medal in competition for their ex-

hibit are, to be congratulated on their enterprise.

Notes on the digitized version of

the Report of the Games of the III Olympiad, St. Louis 1904

The digital version of the Report of the Games of the III Olympiad was created with the intention of
producing the closest possible replica of the original printed pages. These technical notes are intended to
describe the differences between the digital and printed documents and the technical details of the digital
document.

The original document:

No Official Report was published by the organizing committee of the 1904 St. Louis Games. Over time two
documents have come to be accepted as reports for those Games:

Spalding’s Official Athletic Almanac for

1905

, compiled by James E. Sullivan, and

The Olympic Games, 1904

, by Charles Lucas. This volume is the

Spalding Almanac

. The

Spalding Almanac

of 1905 included 284 numbered pages plus additional pages

showing photographs and advertisements. Pages 11 through 154 cover non-Olympic sports events. The
non-Olympic pages are not included in this digital edition.

The original paper version of the 1904 Spalding document has dimensions of 5 × 6¾" (12.5 × 17cm).

Special features of the digital version:

•

The back cover and the binding are not included in the digital version.

•

Blank pages at the front and back of the book are not represented in the digital version.

•

Illustration or photos in landscape format were rotated from vertical to horizontal to make viewing easier.

•

To aid navigation, bookmarks have been added to the PDF file. Additionally, the table of contents entries

have been linked to the page where the entry occurs.
