stockholm. Sweden July S-To the
chagrin Of American spectators at the
olympic games today the Yankee"
quartet In the 400 meter relay race
were disqualified because F.. v. Belote,
Of the Chicago Athletic Club. in pass
ing Clement P. Wilson, of oe-Couege.
at the second relay Of the semi finals
changed the stick" out OF bounds
The disappointment was the greater
because Cooke, Of Cleveland, led w. r.
Applegarth, the last runner Of the
British team. by ten feet at the finish
and because the time-42 1-5 seconds,
best OF meeting for the event-showed
that the United States stood a great
chance to win the race in the final. AS
1t is Great Britain will take the
Americans place.
Westerners cheered Justify when
Richards .of Brigham Young Univer-
sity. took first place. and Herine, Of
Leland Stanford. took third place in
the running high Jump. Richards
mark was 1913 centimeters.
There is considerable feeling by the
German team over the fiasco of last
night in the 100 meter swim, free
style. Bretting took the heat last night
In the semi finals and so the Germans
considered 1t was their victory and
were not pleased when 1t was an
nounced that the SEMI finals would be
run over with the Americans partic.
ipating.
They think the manager Of the
American team was careless in failing
to have his men ready and that his
protest was not justified.
The United States, Germany and
Australia, whose men are engaged in
the contest. are to decide on the date.
The American jurymen declined to
say whether the vote on running the
event again was unanimous.
