meter breast stroke swimming, the

was the subject Of J. L Eisele of the
New York athletic club in getting the
place in the 5000 meter steeplechase.
America never had any idea of scoring
in this event, particularly since Eisele
had run three Of the hardest races dur

men in the distance runs, and each
race he had to fight against odds, being
handicapped on one occasion by hav-
ing several Englishnlen pitted against
him. Further. he had suffered greatly
with an injured foot. Just a little more
stamina and a little more luck and
Eisele would have captured some of
the distance events for America.

race. There were four of the United
Kingdom team-RusseIl, Robertson,
