Americans. The decision was not known
to the Americans. Early III the day some
of the contestants, among whom were
Mr.. Bascom johnson, of the New York
athletic club and Mr.. Charles d. Vorack
Of the University of Michigan, the for
mer of whom won the pole vault Echam
pionship in London and the latter of
whom is the intercollegiate champion
went to the grounds and were informed
that they could contest Monday. On be-
ing SO informed they went to their rooms.
The decision also operated against Mr..
Morris Prinstein Of Syracuse university,
who was prevented from competing to-
day by the authorities of the colleges.
Mr.. A. g. Kraenzlein of the university
of Pennsylvania whom Mr.. Prinstein
beat yesterday, today jumped in the final
for the broad jump and won over Prins-
tein's jump of yesterday by small mar
gin. Each had three jumps yesterday
but Kraenzlein had six more today
while Prinstein although on the grounds
could not jump. He entered protest
after the games but there Is. little hope
that 1t viii be allowed. The representa-
tives of the University of Pennsylvania
had large share In today winnings
and their contasting caused some feeling
among other college men. Manager Ellis
said:
Il have no authority to prevent the
men taking part on my own response
biiity and so told them, at the same
time, advising them that they should not
contest. We have thirteen men in our
team. OF these eight stayed out today
but five decided that they could remain in
to the end. In order to overcome the
feeling caused by Afessrs. Johnson and
Dvorack being out of the pole vault
event, the French officials have agreed to
offer a special prize for pole vault
Thursday.
On the initiative of Mr.. Sheriff. of
Yale, a protest signed by oil the Ameri-
can teams has been presented to Mr.. A.
G. SpaIding, director of sports at the ex-
position. It says:
"We, the undersigned beg to protest
against the change in the agreed arrange
ments whereby our clubs are now unable
TO compete in field events Monday, the
records to count Tor the championships
and to be filed as events. We do not
agree to a substitution of series Of spec
ial field events to take the place of the
above agreed arrangements.
AS the Americans were so successful,
some Of the bad feeling disappeared but
they might have had more seconds and
thirds If the change had not been made
at the last minute and scarcely without
warning.
The number of spectators was much
larger than yesterday. Again the grand
stand was largely occupied by Americans
who cheered their champions.
When George ". Orton of the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania after seeming to be
out Of the long steep1echase made a mag
ninoent squirt. beating an Englishman
who looked a certain winner, the enthu-
slasm was intense. The games began
promptly at 2.30 p. m, but it was seven
O'Clock before they finished. The first
heat in the sixty metres fat went
handily to Kraenzlein,7 time seconds
In the second heat Walter B. Tewksbury
managed to breast the tape just ahead
Of Rowley of New South Wales. Time
1-5 seconds.
The final was pretty contest, the men
being breasts apart at the finish with
Kraenzlein first, Tewksbury second and
Rowley third. Time seconds
Minnehan also ran.
Mr.. Richard Sheldon Of the N. z. A.
c.. was the only American to strip for
the final in the shot putting, as Messrs.
BleCracken Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania and Robert Garrett of Princeton
university refused to comIete on Sun
day. Neither Crettier, Hungarian and
Paraskevopoulos, Greek, could outstrip
the puts made yesterday by AIcCraeke n
and Garret; and the final resulted with
