GERMAN LOSES HIGH JUMP
Yankees Grab Full Share of Honors in
Various Events at Stockholm
Program Varied-Much
Enthusiasm Shown.

Stockholm, July 9.-To the great
chagrin of American spectators at the
Olympic games today, the Yankee"
was disqualified because f. v. Belote,
of the Chicago A. A. in passing Glenn
ent P. Wilson, Of Coe college, at the
second relay of the semi-final,
changed the stick out of bounds"
The excitement was the greater be-
cause Cook, OF Cleveland, led w. R.
Appelgarth, the last runner of the Brit
!sh team, by 10 feet at the finish, and
because the time, AZ Is seconds, the
best of the meeting for the event
showed that the United States stood a
great chance to win the race in the
finals. AS it is, Great Britain will
take the Americans place.
Westerners cheered Justify when
Richards, of Brigham Young univer-
'sity, took first place, and HORNE, of
Leland Stanford university, took third
place in the running high jump. Rich
ards mark was 1913 centimetres.
There is considerable feeling by the
German team over the fasco of last
night in the 1O0-metres swim, free
style. Bretting took the heat last night
IN the semi-finals, so the Germans con-
sidered 1t was their victory, and was
not pleased when it was announced to-
DAY That the semi-finals would be run
over with the Americans participating.
Ihey think the manager of the Ameri-
can team was careless in failing to
have his men ready and that his pro-
test was not justified.
