STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July 12-By
winning the pole vault, the shotput for
both hands, and the 2O0-meter fiat race,
besides qualifying nine hurdlers in the
110-meter event, America drew most Of
the honoH yesterday in the Olympic
games here for the track and field
performances. Indeed, the Stars and
Stripes ornamented the fiagstaffs at the
end of the stadium most of the time.
Two Olympic championships went 10
Ralph Craig, the former Michigan Uni
versity star, when he flashed over the
line in the 2o0-meter race, defeating
Lppincott, the crack sprinter from the
University Of Pennsylvania, for he had
already taken the 1l0-meter race.
Craig's gameness In running with a
weak ankle was praised by everybody
who saw his magnificent sprint.
Lippincott got lead at the start OF
the 20O-meter event, but could not fight
off Craig, who was running even with
him before half the distance had been
covered. The two Americans left Rau.
lishman, far behind in their wild dash
for the tape. Rau burned himself out
too soon, and the Briton beat him out
Tor third place.
Babcock Is First.
Harry Babcock, the old Columbia
vaulter, had the satisfaction of coming
TO life and defeating Mark Wright, of
Dartmouth College, holder of the
worlds record, and Frank T. Nelson,
formerly Yales captain. However, none
Of these three winners could clear thir-
teen feet. Competitors from other ma
tions never had a chance with the
Americans in this event.
Ralph Rose, the giant from California,
had the two-handed shotputting event
all to himself. Pat Mcdonald, the New
York policeman, running second to him.
Niklander. of Finland, landed third
place. and this occasioned much enthu-
siasm on the part of his fellow-country-
men.
The trials in the 110-meter hurdles
showed little class, as compared with
the records for this event, but America
landed a majority Of finalists. and the
event seems certain to go to Mike
