LOOKING AHEAD.

LONDON, August 21.

A telegram from Antwerp states that the Olympic Games Board bas decided to reduce the programme of games to purely athletic sports, for example running, jumping, swizaming, wrestling; and boxing. Other games may be held simultaneously but will not be "considered as Olympic. The exact programme will be settled at the Lausanne meeting in June, 1921, when: the place for the 1924 games," probably Rome or Paris, will be selected.

REPORT CONTRADICTED,

"

ANTWERP, August 21. Renter's special correspondent is informed that there is no truth in the report that future meetings will be confined purely to athletic sports. The Olympic Council discussed certain possibilities but there was no attempt to bring the matter to a vote, and there is no fear of actual steps being taken in the matter of altering the programme before the Council meets at Lapsuude
