The London morning papers, commenting" com-menting" on England's lack of success at Stockholm, express keen disappointment disap-pointment and urge tho necessity for strong efforts so that Englishmen may be better prepared for the Berlin Olympiad becauso it Is certain that Germany will exert herself to the utmost ut-most to dispute the palm with the present winners. At the same time, the papers add, no disposition should be shown to Imitate American methods meth-ods of specialization, which are hold to savor of professionalism. Tho Dally News, discussing the results re-sults of the Olympic games In today's Issue, declares Itself not much concerned con-cerned in tho Stockholm results, on the ground that It Is not competitive sport that Is nationally Important, but sport as a recreation of an all-round character. oo |
