AMATEUR ATHLETES.
RETURN TO AMERICA. Jackson Scholz and Lloyd Hahn, the American athletes, will leave Auckland for Vancouver by the Niagara to-mor-row. "What is the general standard in amateur athletics here?" Scholz was asked and he replied "A good average standard, I guess. And I think it will improve. There is no doubt you've got Ihc material. For instance, Rose is about as gogjl as they've got in any place in Ihc world, and Leadbettcr, Kyle, Jenkins, Taylor and Williams are all good men, and also Cabot, a walker, in Duncdiu. Asked how he thought, Rose would fare in a contest against Nurmi, Scholz replied: "I don't think he is good enough yet for Nurmi. Still one never can te'li, and ultimately with training and experience, J think he would give him a good go. Nurmi has never been really extended, and much the same applies to Rose. Yes, liilola v. Hose would be a much better race for a start."
