AMERICAN ATHLETES
OBJECT TO HANDICAP SYSTEM. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright MELBOURNE, February 10. The American athletes object to the handicap feystem. They complain, that in order to win most of the races in which they have competed it would have been necessary for them to break world’s records, and that it will be difficult to convince America, where all races are scratch events, that they' are not a badly-beaten team. Parker’s opinon is that the handicap system tends to keep second-raters in the first division.
