At the European Games in Brussels next month the British team will be without the services of such of the brightest stars of the current athletics scason In the United Kingdom as MacDonald Bailey, Arthur Wint, Sylvanus Williams and R. C. Salmon. They are, respectively, from Trinidad, Jamaien, Nigeria and Rhodesia.
