 The Americans again surprised themselves in the semi final of the 800 metre fiat race. Six runners of the eight who will toe the mark in the final struggle were more than they had dared hope for J.

Stockholm, July 1,-The American athletes won two notable victories at the Olympic gamess today. R. c. Craig of the Detroit Y. M, c. A., captured the final of the 100 metres dash. while James Thorp, of the Carlisle Indian School, won the Pentathlon, a series of five events. Craigs time, 10 4-0 sec onds, equals the Olympic record.
 Only one other number on the pro- gramme was concluded today. That was the Pentathlon, which was in- tended to be a test of all round prow- ess. When this event was included in the Olympic games conservative old timers. both English and Americans, who heretofore had dominated the field sports, regarded it with suspicion as a trick of the newcomers to gain points which were not contemplated in the original programme. The United States got the Hons share of the glory from that also.
 The Indian, Thorp. by hi/ victory, won his position as the legitimate sue cessor of Martin J. Sheridan as an all round athlete Of those who entered this competition the four Americans, Thorp, Brundage, Donoghue and Me naul started in all the events and stayed to the end with the Norwegian, Bic, the aCnadian, Lukeman, and the Swede Wieslander.
 The semi finals heats of the 800 metres and the tryouts of the running high jump put the Americans in the position of practically owning the event Six representatives of the United Sites qualifying in both The 10000 metres race was less satisfac- tory. but was not entirely diSappoint- ing.

Ad Wolgast broke silence Saturday in a published statement, saying he was willing to again meet Joe Rivers and decide the championship question, which was left open by the freakish ending of the Fourth of July fight at Vernon He suggested Labor day for the return, and declared he was will ing to fight anywhere provided a fat purse was put up.
 Wolgast asserted that he was not helped to his feet by Referee Jack Welch, while Rivers lay on the floor, being counted out and asserted that Rivers was knocked out and was glad to quit.
 He was not game; that let's him out,p said the champion.
 Woigast said his winnings, counting his s15,O00 purse, and the bets he gathered totaled close to s4O,000.
