time stirred up small tempest It was almost a repetition of the clash at the London Olympic, when tine Ameri can. Carpenter, was disqualified for fouling an Englishnan in a similar sprint, and the unpleasantness created in Anglo American athletics was long time in the forgetting.

A., finished two yards in the lead in this race, but was disqualified and the heat given to his fast Teutcnic rival. Braun, who crossed the line second The circum stances led the spectators to think that the United States might protest, but the American committee, while consid- eTing the judges decision in error accepts it Loyalty.
 Germans Hoot Americans.
 The alleged foul occurred on the first turn fifty yards from the start The race was for blood and there was great rivalry between the two Ameri- cans, Young and Ira N. Davenport, University of Chicago, and the German, Braun. Young took the lead on the first jump. The German attempted to pass him on the outside at the turn and was elbowed by Young. The judges made an attempt to stop Young at the next turn. but without success. The incl dent caused great excitement; the Germans hooted the Americans and Manager Halpin argued with the judges.
 American Gave German Push.
 When the mixup occurred, Young, Braun and a Swedish contestant were punched Young had the pole; the Swede was as close as possible behind on the inside, with Braun on the out side. They were so close together that they seemed to rub shoulders. The German sprinted into the lead and then apparently slowed up. Young gave him a push with his right arm With that, the runners strengthened out and after an inspiring contest came up the homestretch at a terrific pace, with Young in the lead.
 Foul Was Not Intended.
 The Amherst boy, who is considered by all who know him a gentleman and a clean runner, took the matter much to heart. In explanation he said Braun was pushing me back. The only thing I could do was what I did, or be pushed into the Swede If they disqualify me they certainly should disqualify Braun. l would not kick so much if they disqualified both of us" Braun claimed that he was undoubt- edly fouled, but did not assert that the foul was intentional. He said: Young pushed me. l could have won the race | if l had not been touched. Davenport also got too close to me on the last l turn and rubbed me. In a short race | ike that a man gets so tired that the smallest push may make him lose two yards"
 American Had Right to Do It. Mike Murphy. the trainer of the | American team, speaking of the incl 1 dent, said: "The German tried to cross | in front, and Young showed him back. | Young had a perfect right to do what he did. You can't cross in front of d man that way and jostle him."
