DEFEATS YANKEE STAR
Relay Team From This Side
Makes Best Time, But Is
Disqualified.

Stockholm

STOCKHOLM. July S-Two new
world records We're hung up today by
the American athletes in the third day
of the International Olympic games.
The running high jump was won by A.
W. Richards, of Brigham Young uni
versity. at feet ga inches, beating
the old record by ga inch. In the 500
meter race J. Z. Meredith, of MERGERS
berg A. c., Pennsylvania, finished first
in 1 minute 81 90 seconds. The old
record was / minute So IL seconds.
American athletes are now the over
whelming favorites in the fifth annual
renewal of the Olympic games. The
ease with which they swept the boards
in the sprints and 500 meter run was a
revelation to the followers of athletics,
and as a result Americans anxious to
bet on their team are unable to place
wagers of any magnitude
What few bets were made installed
the Americans as favorites with the
odds at or to l.
American athletes went down in de-
feat in the first event of the third day s
contest of the Olympic games. This
was the standing broad jump, which
was won by Tsicletras, a Greek ath-
lete He jumped a distance of 3,37 me-
tiers.
Despite their defeat in the standing
broad jump however, the Americans
were cheered when notified that their
swimming teams protest against the
action taken in the 1O0-meter semi
finals yesterday had been sustained by
the international jury. The race will
be re-swam before the termination of
the games and the Americans are con-
fident that in this they will capture at
least three points.
Through some misunderstanding.
three men who had qualified for the
semi -Kahanamoku, McGillivray
and Hussagh-did not appear for the
semi finals when they were swan off.
In the trial heat Kahanamoku had
broken the worlds record.

Gallant Life Saver

Touching Predicament at Pied

Bathers at Piedmont park lake mo-
ttced two women standing in one spot
in the pool for nearly an hour In
cessantly they churned the water up
and down as they moved their feet
around feeling for something on the
wooden flooring. They had gone in to-
gether and after padding around for a
short time an exclamation from one had
caused both to stop swimming and start
the queer search.
At last Captain Ben Schlomberg, of
the United States Volunteer Life Saw
ing corps, noticed their predicament
For few moments he swan around
them and then gathering his courage,
asked in a whisper that could be
heard by all nearby: is there anything
that I can do?'
o~Er-er-I have lost my false teeth, y
replied one.
"I1l dive for them; can get them,
sure said the gallant life saver.
The woman clutched his arm. For
goodness sake. if you get them, don't
bring them to the surface of the water, y
she replied. Just hold them under
the water and pass them to me-
The sunburned head and shoulders of
the life saver disappeared. Hardly q
well for he surreptitiously passed some
thing to one of the fair swimmers who
left the water as rapidly as they could.

mics. 1t has been conceded for a long
time that the bill is to become a law,
and the delay in passing it has been
occasioned more by a willingness of it's
friends to let its enemies go on record

Acute interest attaches to the pro-
posed referendum clause. If it is add

law II it is not added he is expected
to veto it.
The impression exists that the clause
will not be added. If it is. II likely
will be by a close vote. If 1t is not

The real fight is centered around the

one providing for a referendum to the
people, and perhaps the one specifically
including locker clubs in the list of
prohibited persons, stands any chance
of being adopted.
One by one they will be voted down,

added, will come to the house for set
