It Is not vet known what system of point
scoring will be adopted for the stadium
events but from the way the heats are run
to be inferred that only wins will count and
that no heed will be paid to seconds or
thirds. AS the tally stands now America
has landed two firsts in the 500 meters
and 10 pound hammer and England has
two in the 8 500 meter walk and the % kilo-
meter cycle race II scored the other way,
that is on the basis OF points for first,
8 for a second and for third. England
would be several points ahead.
Sheppard's win in tie 800 meters was the
most meritorious performance yesterday
and he has earned the distinction OF being
the first native bred American to figure in
a distance race in England. Since England
was first invaded by American athletes q
great many milers have tried for brackets
but they al met the same fate-they trailed
in when the homestretoh was reached.
Even the American college man has never
been able to cope with the Englishmen.
Sheppard met the English mile champion
Butterfield and beat him in the trial heat.
Yesterday he met the winner OF the Olympic
trial competition and the best man the
colleges could supply and scored glorious
victory
English distance events have been cred-
tied to America before but it will be found
that they were won by paturalized Ameri-
cans like Conneff from other lands. Shep-
pard's figure of 4 minutes 8 Us seconds
equals the record made by N F. Hallows,
the oxonian. In the preliminary trial on
Monday
Flanagan's win in the 10 pound hammer
throw was remarkable, as it was his third
Olympic victory. When a member OF the
New York A. G. he went to tn Paris Olym-
piad In 1900 and won with throw of 1877
