J. {. ATHLETES LEAD WORLD AT
 OLYNP II NEE I

ANTWERP, Aug. 16. -. Americas powerful track and field team contIn- ued to gather honors in the second day of the seventh Olympic games. It passed all other nations combina- tions but it's members were not strong enough individually to win ev- cry first place, particularly in the classic penthalon, in which the Fin nish star, Lehton, proved the best all round athlete.
 In addition to the American scoring the most points, the only world rec ord was made by Frank Loomis of the Chicago A. A., in the 4C0 metre hur- dies with :54, a second better than the time made by c. Bacon in the London Olympic in 1908. In both the hurdles and the 100 metre dash four of the six finali'. .S were Americans, Of whom three ..n first in the hur- dues and two first in the 100 metres.
 A majority of the experts at the finish of the 100 metres events, but not the officials, insisted that J. V. ScholZ. of the University of Missouri. was third instead of fifth, as official ly placed, but protest entered by the Americans was withdrawn when it was realized there was no going be- hind the official decision.
 In the. other events, the heats be- fore the semi-finals in the 800 metre run, all the Americans retained places.
 The Americans performances today netted them 4 points in the track events-17 in the hurdles, 15 in 100 metres dash, and II in the penthalon -out of a possible G6.
 Finland. by the 19 points won in the javelin throw yesterday and the 10 in today's penthalon, has 29, and is second to the Americans. rance has 6 points; England 5; Esthonia 3; and Norway one
 The French Olympic fencing team defeated the American fencers today, 14 bouts to two.
