TISSIK! TISIKH TISSIKK ! ! !

JAPANESE ATHLETES, STARTLE OLYMPICS

MANAGEMENT WITH DISCOVERY

Manila, May 14.

A new difficulty was added to the harassed management of the Far Eastern Olympic Games yesterday. It appears that the management of the Japanese delegation was not quite satisfied with the so-called standards of the track at Rizal Field. So they mobilized the surveyors and tape-line artists and after an extensive, although quiet investigation, they confronted the mangement with the startling revelation that the running track was not of official size. Their surveys revealed that the cinder path, in its quarter of a mile distance fell short of the actual measurement by exactly eight millimetres. Tissik! Tisik!! Tistikk!!!

Eight millimetres is alightly over a quarter of an inch and the Japanese evidently felt that since races are said to be won by a nose, a quarter of an inch on the end of a nose might be serious. And one can of course imagine the chagrin of a marathon runner or 5,000 metro artist at being nosed out by 7 millimetres when that additional width of a cotton string might mean victory,

The protest was promptly made and the Japanese delogation threatened to withdraw. After assurances from the management that the tape at the finishing line would be at least that thick and that stop watches would be corrected to the thousandth part of a second the Nipponese delegation eventually decided to participate, but not without dire misgivings as to the authenticity of the world's records which they expect to establish. Eight millimetiès are, after all, eight millimetros.
