who declined to contest in today's events
OF the worlds amateur championships In
the Bots de Boulogne. Directing TO Sunday
competition, America won eight out CT
ten OF those recorded. gaining five sec
ond positions and four thirds.
one Incident caused an unpleasant Jar.
The terms OF the agreement were reach
ed with the French oficials at a joint
meeting on Wednesday night. At that
time II was certainly understood by the
Americans that the French had agreed
that the field events in which they had
entered and II was proposed that the fnals
should come OF today, would be 80 ar
ranged that the Americans Directing TO
Sunday competition could contest alone
Monday and that the records then made
would be counted In reaching the anal
awards. Last night the French decided
that events set for today must be con-
Guided finally on the grounds today. but
that records made in the preliminary trials
yesterday would stand.
This action was taken II appears. on
tho ground that the other contestants OBJ
1ected Z, such an advantage given 10 the
Americans. The decision was not known
TO the Americans and early IN the day
some of the contestants, among them
Bascom and Johson, OF the New York
Athletic Association. and Charles DvoracK,
OF the University of Michigan. went TO
the grounds and were informed that they
could contest Monday. On being so in
formed they went to their rooms. The
decision also operated against Prinstein,
Of Syracuse university. who was prevent
ed from competing today by the authori-
ties OF the college. A protest. signed by
all the American teams has been present

Americans were successful some ~ the
bad feeling disappeared In order to over

Prinstein beat yesterday. today jumped
IN the final for the broad jump and won
over Prinsteins jump of yesterday by
small margin, Each had three jumps yes
terday. but Kraenzlein had six more to-
day while Prinstein although on the
grounds could not jump. He entered
protest after the games.
The representatives Of the Pennsylvan-
ians had a large share In todays WIN
nings and their contesting caused some
feeling among the other college men.
