AMERICAN ATHLETES
WIN AT ST. LOUIS
Two Worlds Records Are Bro.
ken In Olymplan
Games

OIL the olympic games demonstrated
that they are the peers of any previous
aggregation of international character.
Today, the third Of the 1904 Olym-
pad, one world record fell before the
prowess of an American, three Olympic
records were broken, the laurels going
to two Americans and Greek: and
one Olympic and worlds record was
broken, but owing to an unfortunate
accident, the time will not be allowed
in the latter as the official record. : 49, :.
The contestants in the first faced a
large audience despite the threatening
clouds, but the day was not marred
by the elements, as only few drops Of
rain fell late in the afternoon.
AS an indication of what the day
was to bring forth, Hr L cHillnan. OF
the New York Athletic club, ran the
400-meter hurdle in 8 2-5 seconds I'M
Hillman was forced the entire dis
lance by Frank Waller Of the Mill
Waukee Athletic club, who finished Sec
ond, and in the excitement of the race
Hillman failed to clear the last hurdle
cleanly and the barrier fell to the
ground, disqualifying HIS record, but
not affecting the result of the race.
Record Breaking Field .-a.
The 200-meter run again brought out
a field of record breakers. Archie
Hahn, of the Milwaukee Athletic club,
won the first heat in the record time
of 22 1-5 seconds. fought the dis
lance with w. c. CartmeH of Louis
vile, KY, and only won, by inches.
The second heat was. a trife slower,
but Hogenson was not pushed.
In the final the distance by Ameri-
can measurement of the 200-meter be-
ing 2lS:7S yards, resulted in the low
erlng of the Olympic record by as of
a second. Hahn won the event, but
secured an advantage at the start of
two yards over his three competitors,
the latter having made a false start
and receiving penalties! l. .-ss:,es-
Per1kles Kakousis, of Athens, Greece,
had everything his own way in lifting
the bar bell. The other entries were
two men from the Milwaukee Athletic
club and one from st. Louis. Kakousis
won the.sevent by lifting weight of
1S6. pounds. He did this with appar-
emily so little difficulty that Otto c..
Osthoff, of the milwaukee, Athletic
club, withdrew after having lifted an
equal weight after several attempts.
Kakousis then went after the OIym-
pic record, which is also regarded as
the worlds record; He first lifted 200
pounds, and then had the weights ad-
justed,to 246 pounds, four ounces: more
than thearecord by the Danish athlete,
V.Jensens of the Copenhagen Athletic
club, at the Athens OIympiad in 1896.
His first attempt was successful.
Rose Does Well
Ralph w. Rose, of the Chicago Ath-
letic association, played ducks and
brakes with the Olympic, and worlds
records in the siXteen-pound shot put.
His first essay buried the Olympic rec
ord and came within two inches of the
worlds record. He, tried. twice more
before he succeeded in smashing the
latter with. put of 4S feet Z inches.
The former Olympic record was 46 feet
3 Is inches, made by r. Sheldon, of the
New York Athletic club, at Paris in
the 1900 revival of the Olympic games,
and the former worlds record was AZ
feet 2 inches So
The Milwaukee Athletic sclub tug of
war team won two trialsJin the inter-
national tug of war and qualified to
compete in the finals tomorrow. The
other contestant will be the team from
the New York Athletic club, which de-
feated the st. Louis team that took the
measure of the Greek entry.
