London, July 14.-Even If no Ameri-
can flags We're used in the decoration
of the stadium, the Stars and Stripes
twice f1uttered to the top of the flag
pole in the center of the vast arena
today, when the Yankee athletes car
ried off the two big events of the af-
ternoon.-
John r. Flanagan of the Irish Am
erican club of New York won the ham
mer throw with consummate ease.
smashing both the British and the
Olympic records. and Melvin w. Shep-
pard. his clubmate, brought the Ameri-
can contingent to it's feet. shrieking
with delight as he beat the dreaded
British runners in the 1,500-meter race.
To add to the sweeping nature of the
triumph George w. Gaidzik of the Chi
cago Athletic association captured the
fancy diving contest, held in the big
pool in the center of the stadium.
British Are Confident.
1t was the victory In the 1900 meter
race which aroused most excitement,
howevr. as the Britons confidently ex-
pected that their men would win. Hal
lows of England had made the fastest
time in the preliminaries, when he ran
I the route in 1870 2-5, clipping a couple
of second off Lightbody's mark made
in 1904. Wilson of England, was also
thought likely to get second place.
At the crack of the pistol the five
Englishmen in the race started a sprint,
Wilson and Hallows right behind the
three leaders, who evidently had the
idea of pacing their coU2trymen. TAFT
of Canada and Sheppard and Sullivan,
the two Americans, hung behind the
bunch.
Turning into the stretch for the final
burst, Wilson had the lead, with Hal
lows second and a demonstration arose
from the British section of the benches.
This was instantly drowned, however
when, on the outside of the track. com
ing like a whirlwind, the colors OF
Sheppard were seen.
Sheppard Wildly Cheered.
Overhauling Wilson fifty yards from
the tape. with one final burst of speed
he outran the Englishman and flashed
past the line. Hallows was third and
TAFT of Canada was fourth The time
of 1903 2-5 is new Olympic record and
equals that made by Hallows in the
preliminary. Sheppard wildly
cheered as the American flag went tC
the summit of the signal pole for the
second time in the day.
