MAY HOLD OLYMPIC GAMES IN AMERICA Paris, Nov. 16. The Olympic games in 1916 may be held in the United States. Baron Pierre do Goubertln, president of the international committee, com-mittee, says if any circumstances, material ma-terial or sentimental, prevent their being held in Europe in 1916, they eannot be postponed until 1920, as suggested, but that they might be held In America. The war. Baron de Ccnjbertin thinks, will not have anything more than a brief temporary effect on sport in France Individual records v ill suffer because such stars as Jean Ilouln, the great runner have fallen at the front, and others, no doubt, will follow. The younger element ' will not reach their highest form for three years or more but eventually, the baron thinks, the war will prove to have been an incentive to physical phys-ical training.
