DOtSTOX. Jan. 24. \ picture of
tho preparations now in the making
for the Olympiad at l ari next year,
with espwial reference to the in
terests of United States athletes, is
presented in the report to President
William C. Front, of the A. A. U.,
of Albert Oeiger, Jr., of this city,
i member of the Board of Governors
of the A. A. I!., who has returned
from a visit to Colombes, scene of
tile Fiji games. Mr. Geiger said it
was his general impression that the
French authorities were making their
plans well in advance and that the
country was enthusiastic over the
games. The track as planned by
them is being projected, he said, as
one “on which the making of now
world’s records would be possible. '
Tlie report says in part:
“1 went to the Colombes S,indium
in a taxi in 25 minutes from the cen
ter of Paris, which really mikes it
quite accessible. You can also go
by train to a station which will b
built in plenty ol' time before the
games, in less than 15 minutes. The.
are. also planning to build a new
boulevard up to the Stadium
Neuilly, which is just outsid
Paris gates.
“The .Stadium itself is about one-1
third completed. The grandstands!
are covered on either side of th j
track, and the ends are banked-upl
standing room. This standing room)
runs around the entire track, even
in front of the grandstands. The |
grandstands are to be fairly steep,
and should give a very good view oi l
the games. They will be built of!
concrete. Underneath the stands
there Is ampl > dressing room spa
which would easily take care of 3d
men, each w tit good shower bath
lay-out, rubbing rooms, etc. The en
ranee and exit arrangements also
are well laid out.
“They were working on the track.]
Jt is to be put o:i a splendid found i
ition. If is about 25 feet wide and
they expect to have it completed b;
spring. It will be well packed down
this summer, ami in the spring of
1!(24 it will again be worked over.
They should have ultimately as good
a track as could be desired. They
have a special red cinder which
seems to pack very well. Tile run
and take-offs for the running broad
jump and high jump ary in, and seem
to be well laid out. The track Is I
a 50-meter track and of course looks
considerably larger than one-quarier
noiic tracks. They have a fine foot
bail field in the middle, and are ap
parently going to feature rugby ami
soccer. There is also a practice:
track, not quite as hard as the chant
pionship track, to be built ju-f out
side the Stadium, to be used
training.
“Allan II. Mulir. international
retary. says the French people
warming up to the proposition satis
factorily although he had only re-j
eeived final instructions to go ahead
from the French Olympic Committee
shortly before 1 arrived.
“In ti\e matter of housing. I do
not believe the small house proposi
tion will be practical for track men
I would suggest the track, men be
boused somewhere near the Arc de
Trlomphe, in Paris, where there art
many small hotels. If this proves
too expensive, good accommodation
could be had at N'elully, just outsid'
:he gates, for much less money.
Busses could be used for the men to,
go back and forth to the track to]
train, and altogether I think you]
would find some such arrangemen
as suggested to be very satisfai
tory.”

PLAN BEFORE MEET
NEW YORK. Jan. 24. -Creation oi
a national boxing registration bureau
to act ns u clearing house for in
formation on professional pugilists i
and adoption of a standardized uni-1
versal code of ring regulations were
favored here by d'legates attending;
the National Boxing Association,!
which represented boxing comm:- '
sions in 18 of 21 states and five;
foreign countries where the sport i
legalized.
Lay Off Big 3out
The association took no action
a suggestion that, it seek to prevent I
the proposed return bout for the1
world's heavyweight championship j
between Jack Dempsey and .!<■ -1
Willard on the ground tli.n the lat-j
ter is not a fit opponent for Hie;
champion. President W. R. Ligingct;
if Milwaukee declared, however, that :
in his opinion the N H. A. had noj
Jurisdiction over the matter and that j
it was a question solely for state1
authorities to decide if an issue'
arose.
Tile proposed registration bureau.I
a- devised and outlined by Tex
O Rottrke, secretary-treasurer of the!
N H. A., would be conducted under'
the direct supervision of the asso-l
cia'.io”, subject to the approval of
boxing commissions in New York'
ind Massachusetts. Both commis
sions have declined so far to affiliate
with the N h. A., but It is under-1
.-.toed that li. . are ready to cooper
ito in carry out the national rpgis
'.rai on plan. .
Register Pugilists
Every professional boxer would be
required to register with the bureau,!
according to Mr. O'Rourke, at a cost
not to exceed $2, and would lie given
an identification card which would
•orve as a “passport” to engagement
anywhere in the country. The plan
would include distribution of de
tailed information on all boxers and j
weekly bulleiins on results of fights !
Supporters of tile idea believe that)
i: would do away with a great deal I
ci misrepresentation connected with1
boxing ns well as protect both pro-i
motors and participants.
