CHANGES FOR VICTORY describes Bernard J. Wefers of Lawrence and C. A. Bradley of the London Athletic Club as the favorites to win the 10 yard dash, both claiming century times of 9.45 seconds.

The piece notes England’s Edwin supply and forecasts, citing Tom Burke of Boston as America’s best shot in the 40 yard dash and W. Fitzherbert as England’s hopeful, while Downer’s fitness and Bradley’s finishing strength are uncertain factors.
