The excitement was the greater be-
cause Cook, of Cleveland, led w. r.
appelgarth, the last runner of the Brit
,ish 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
hnals. AS it is, Great Britain will
take The Americans place.

IN the semf-f1nals. SO the Germans con-
sidered it was their victory, and was
not pleased when it was announced to-
DAY that the semi-finals would be I'll
