American Athletes at Olympic Games

In connection with the representation of American athletes at the Olympic games, which will be held at Athens from April 22 to May 2, the American Committee in charge of the games has appointed Mr. J. W. Curtiss, of Yale, chairman of a sub-committee to receive contributions to a fund to defray the expenses of the American team. The Olympic Games Committee at Athens, on account of its desire to have America well represented, has contributed $1500 toward the American fund, and the Amateur Athletic Union will probably also contribute toward this fund. Board and lodging will be given the American athletes at greatly reduced rates. President Caspar Whitney of the American committee has called a meeting of the committee to be held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York tomorrow.
