TUNING UP
t * , OLYMPIC ATHLETES s FOOT SORENESS OVERCOME. I BERLIN, July 29. The representative of the Australian Associated Press agency reports that the New Zealander Giles joined the Australian cyclists in training to-day. Lovelock, Boot, and Matthews began training on the Olympic village track, doing mostly jogging in order to get their feet accustomed to local conditions. Lovelock is in. good health, but is 1 slightly under his normal racing 5 weight of 9st. 71b. and is drinking £ much milk to build up his condition. ' He has not decided whether he will concentrate on the 1500 or the 5000 metres, but it is yet expected that the great glamour of a 1500-metre victory will tempt him. Boot and Matthews have overcome their cinder track soreness which retarded their London training. It is a question whether they will be able to recover their form in time for the Games.
