class of the field, and Faller will do
we'll if he places tomorrow.
Although the Americans were woe
fully weak in the distance races. thew
are espondingly strong in the trials
of the 200 end 400 meter runs. All of
the Americans entered in the 2OO-meter
dash qualified for the final, each win
ming his heat easily, with the excep-
tion of Charlie Paddock, of California,
who finished under wraps.
Ono of the most satisfactory features
of the day from the American view
point was the big improvement in
Loren Murchison, of the New York A.
c., who cantered to the tape with lots
to spare in both trials. Edwards, the
negro champion of England won the
fastest heat, and will take a lot of beat
ing in the hnal, but Coach Moakley
thinks Murchlson and Paddock will
both turn the trick.
Allan Woodrng, of the Meadow
brook Club, of Philadelphia, was beat
en- by Edwards in the second trial. but
qualified easily.
Frank Shea, of the United States
Navy, figured most prominently of all
the Americans in the two trials of the
40O-meter race, defeating the famous
Englishman Rudd in his heat. Here
again all wearers of the United States
emblem came through and will COM
pete in the semi-fnals tomorrow.
While Ted" Meredith qualified to-
reach the finals tomorrow. The world
record holder had hardly any strength
IN to-day's race, and although his
action was perfect, it appears that he
has lost his famous finishing sprint
which carried him to so many notable
victories Coach Moakley is rather
sweet on George Schiller, Of the Los
Angeles Athletic Association, who com
pleted both trials full of running.
The English seem to think that But
Ter, thel1 star, Will duplicate the work
of Hill in the 1,5O0-meter event, but
the American camp is confident that
either Shea or Schiller will defeat the
British entry. Rudd, of England, quali-
fed after a great effort and showed
every indication of having gone stale.
Dan Ahearn, the American, who holds
the hop, step and jump championship
of the world, barely squeezed into the
hnal OF this event when he got sixth
place in the trials. Sherman Landers.
of the Chicago A. A. qualified when he
won fourth place. Funlos, of Finland
made the best leap, while Sweden ac-
counted for second and third places
