Olympic Stadium. Antwerp, Aug,
II (hy the Associated Press) -
Athletic advancement was demon
strated today by the wide distri-
button of honors in the third
days contests in the seventh Olym-
pad.
For the first time American ath-
letes failed to win one of the six
point scoring places when all four
who qualified for the 5,000-mctcr
race failed to finish. In all the
other finals and qualifying rounds
today, however, the Americans
were placed, in several cases after
sensational performances against
strong competition.
r. w. Landon of the New York
A. c. won the high jump with a
new Olympic record of 1893 Z
meters, although it was announced
he had made 1.94 meters until a
sag in the bar was remeasured.
Three other Americans placed,
In the elimination for finalists in
the shot put and broad jump, two
Americans qualified in each, al
though hard luck interfered with
their performances in the latter
event The shot putters. misun-
Iderstanding French officials, put
the shot a long time before discov-
cring it was just a warmup and
later some of them did not do so
well as in the practice.
In tbo brn1J iIrln tho negro
Sol Butler of Dubuque college,
American record holder. pulled
tendon in his second jump and
could not qualify.
Three Americans also qualified
in the 10 meters hurdles.
The most sensational perform
ance was that of the half milers in
the S00-metcrs final which Earl
Eby of the Chicago A. A. almost
won, and in which Lieut.. ID, NJ,
Scott, L. S. A.. and a. b. Sprott
of the Los Angeles A. c., finished
fifth and sixth after a terrific pace.
a. G. Hill of England won by
yard, due partly to the fact that
Eby was watching the expected
winner of the race, b. G. D. Rudd
of South Africa, who faltered at
the tape while Hill slipped through
unobserved.
Americans admitted Rudd was
not quite in his best form, al
though he was game to the finish,
collapsing as did Thomas Camp
bell of Yale. and furnishing
most sensational climax. The lat
ters condition was serious for
few minutes. due to muscle and
heart spasms but he was all right
later.
The American tug of war team
was quickly outpulled by the Eng
fish team but had chance for
re-entry in case England wins, un
der the rule which permits all
teams defeated by the winner to
contest for second place.

overcome with grief when the news
was told to him.
Thought Ball Hit Bat.
The accident occurred at the out
set of the fifth inning. Chapman
was the first batter and was hit by
the first ball pitched. So terrific
was the blow that the report of the
impact caused spectators TO think
the ball had struck his bat. Mays,
acting under this impression, fled
ed the ball that reboundcd haiti
way to the pitchers box and threw
it to first base in order to retire
Chapman.
Then it was noticed that Chap
man had collapsed at the homo
plate, He was lifted to his feet by !
other players, then he stood dazad
for a moment, staggered and
crumpled UP at their feet. Physic-

their shoulders, started to walk |
