ANTWERP, Aug, 17.-Encouraged
by their impressive showing in the
finals of the four hundred metre
hurdles and the one hundred metre
dash. the morale OF the American
Olympic contestants was at hf
tide today.
The fact that Frank Loomis, Chi
cago, clipped whole second from
the previous world record in the four
hundred metre hurdles, caused the
committee to again measure the
track. They found it a few inches
short of standard.
Coach Jack Moakley declared he
was greatly pleased with the show
ing of the Americans and was con-
fident they would hang up some more
records before the contests were
over.
Joie Ray, long distance runner,
who strained his leg muscles in train
ing on the grass, was better today.
Walker Smith, who was injured in
the same manner, was also improved
and was expected to start in the
hurdles.
Sol Butler, the negro jumper, of
Dubuque, was injured in his first
jump today. He strained tendon in
the left leg and was carried off the
field He probably will be unable to
