Stockholm, July 10-There are no ex-
| cuses to make for Americas defeat in
the l.5C0 meters.
Jackson is a wonderful runner, but no
faster than Jones, Kiviat or Tabor. He
beat them to-day, because he used bet
ter headwork. and because our men I'M
derestimated him.
Our three men knew they were evenly
| matched. They feared each other more
than the Englishman. The rivalry be-
tween them was so keen that they
fought each other, particularly in the
last lap.
Jones made a mistake IN beginning his
sprint just after the bell rang for the
last lap. Kiv.at was not going to let
Jones get the jump on him, and he
sprinted az the same time. Both men
made their effort one hundred yards
from home. but Jackson waited for the
last fifty yards TO make his effort. and
went to the front with a well-timed
sprint, just when Kiviat and Jones were
beginning to tire. Tabor made his eff
fort at the same time with Jackson. and
it earned him third place over Jones.
What / have said should not be con-
strued into serious criticism OF our men.
After the race It is easy TO tell how
1t might have been run differently.
Jackson was 4 better man than they
and fully deserved the victory.
The time was exceptionally fast. Il
was almost as wonderful a race as the
500 meters. for in the first four men it
brought together the most wonderful COL
lection of milers the world has ever
saw.
The only other event concluded to-day
was the shot-put. in which the United
States won all three places. Because
OF the fine work he had been doing in
practice. was not unprepared for Nc
Donalds victory over Rose.
There were several foreigners. notably
a Finn. who. II they had done as wei!
as had seen them do in practice might
have scored, but they were totally lack
ing in the spirit one gets from combined
action in America. We ought TO do quite
well in the Anal Of the 200 meters to-
morrow as We did in the 100 meters. Pau
is a good man. but We have several who
are better. l am afraid of Craig. for he
has a bad leg. which panied him in the
semi-fnal heat. Lppincott finished very
strong. and II anything should happen
TO Craig lie has good chance to win
out.
In the pole vault we have seven men.
all OF whom start Passem, OF Germany,
and Uggla. Of Sweden. look dangerous.
but they will be fortunate 10 get a
place.
The race between KohIemainen and
BOuin in the 5000 meters was marvellous.
/ said before that the Finn was a second
Shrubb. but now I think both men are
better than Shrubb. At the three-mile
mark they were four seconds under
Shrubs world record. and only the
Firms wonderful sprint landed him win
ner. Bonhag made a game effort to get
third place. but lost It just at the tape.
