Louis in 1904, but pitted against the great
nronnor It was expected that he would
meet defeat. The former Syracuse Uni
versitv athlete did not have to beat "a feet
n defeat O'Connor and his leap translated
from the metric Enumeration was % feet Q
inches The Irish champion, O'Connor
got out TO a distance of 20 feet \ inch, and
Hugo N. Friend Of the University of
[ hIcaRo, champion Of the Western American
colleges, was third. with % feet 8 inches.
The third out and out victory Of the day
was scored for the United States by Martin
J. Sheridan Of the Irish-American A. c.
in the competition in putting the 10 pound
shot. This was won by a low figure per-
Torrance. Sheridan taking first with 40
feet ~ inches. David, a Hungarian, was
second and a swede third. Sheridan was
defeated in the stone-throwing competition
bv his old rival Georgantas, whom Sheridan
defeated earlier in the week in the discus
throw. The Greeks throw was 65 feet 4
inches. while Sheridan was two feet be-
hind. James S.. Mitchell, Of the New York
A. C.. who was injured on the trip over,
was supposed to compete in this event,
but il is understood that he will remain out
Of all save the throwing the discus, Greek
STYLE, because Of his dislocated shoulder.
The / 500 metre race brought along one OF
the events in which the Americans are sup
posed TO nave but little chance to win.
Despite this James Lightbody Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago won the first heat in fine
stvle. He drew into second place James P.
Sullivan Of the Irish American A. c.. and
strung out behind them were Hellstrom,
a Swede, and Wheatley, an Australian, and
the rest Of the field Of nine men The
first four qualified for the final. McGough,
the Scotch champion, took the second
heat, defeating Crabbe Of England, and
George V. Bonhag and Harvey W. Cohn,
both Of the Irish American A. c., in that
order. America therefore has four mer
rho will start in the final heat of the 1900
metres.
The greatest showing thus far was In the
400 metre championship, for which a big
feet Of Americans toed the mark. Seven
Of the twelve men who survived the quail
icstion round wore the colors of the United
States, foremost among them being Harry
[. Hillmau;s Jr., Of the New York A. c.,
holder of the Olympic record and cham.
pionship for the distance. Hillman had his
knee wrenehed coming over on the ship
and it was feared that he night not be able
to start. He ran cleverly and quite in his
usual STYLE. Paul Pilgrim, New York
A. c.; Charles j. Bacon, Irish-Americar
A G., and Fay r. Moulton, Kan sas City
A. c., won the second, fifth and sixth heats
RESPECTIVELY. Lightbody ran second to
The Australian, Barker, in the third heat
despite ha wing already tr6 tied a heat ir
the $500 metres. Lieut.. Halswell, tbs
British athlete, who is counted to be the
most dangerous of Hillman's rivals fol
supremacy won the fourth heat, wi II
lawson Robertson Of the 1rish-Americar
4 e. second. Even Queyrouze, the New
Orleans sprinte r. who did not make good il
the 100 metre event, qualified for the 4ot
metres in the trial won by Bacon.
There vas some amusement after the
broad lump because Of the protest made
by O'Connor that the British flag shoulc
NOT he run ND to show that he was seconc
IN the event. He wanted to have his lrisf
remnant displayed. Prinstein strained hi
left leg slightly in making his last jump
hut it is nor thought that the injury is any
thing serious. He will compete later II
rhe hop, step and Jump.
In the semi-final heat OF the 100 metres
schick, the Harvard Splinter, failed ,tc
qualify, running third: somewhat to the
general surprise. He did not show IN the
400 metres. and it is understood that the
stories that he was not in shape when ne
left America for the games here were wei
founded
