ANTWERP Aug. 21.-There were
few thrills in the Olympic program
arranged for to-day, which was
rather unfortunate, as the vast arena
was crowded almost to capacity for
the first time since the games began.
With score of 81 points to is by
Sweden, America again took first hon
ors and now has total of l79 points,
as against 65 for Finland, her nearest
competitor.
The New York policemen, Pat Nc
Donald and Pat Ryan. finished first and
second respectively in the fifty six
pound weight throw, while the gray
haired veteran, Dick Remer and the
red-topped Maroney, also New York
ers, walked into third and fifth places
in the 5000 meter walk.
McDonald's throw was 1895 meters
and Ryan's 1895 meters
There was no rain o-day. The
weather was better suited to a cham
pionship football game and certainly
not calculated to help the athletes
break records.
Americans Do Well in Decathlon
Brutus Hamilton, of the University
of Missouri, and Gene Vidal, the West
Point star, continued the second days
grind in the classic decathlon and both
did marvelously we'll, Hamilton partic-
uIarly, as he entered the competition
suffering from heavy cold
Hamilton, who holds the American
championship in this event, found the
mile, the last event of the decathlon. a
mighty gruelling affair and only dog
ged determination carried him through.
quartet of American sprinters,
Paddock, Scholz, Murchison and Kirk
sey, running in this order, gave a
beautiful exhibition in the 4O0-m eter
relay trials and should run away with
the final against France, Great Britain
and Sweden. Ii there is no rain to-
morrow to make the track soft. they
are likely to set a new world mark.
Only two heats of the 3,0OO-meter
team race were decided to-day, the
event being badly muddled by the
officials. The first heat contained five
teams, while the second brought to-
gether only France and America.
These two teams had only to jog
around the track to qualify, as the
first two teams in each heat are eli
Brown, Dresser, Devaney and Shields,
made no attempt to beat the French,
who won as they pleased.
Ahearn Makes Poor Showing
Dan Ahearn, the worlds record
holder, made a very disappointing
showing in the hop, step and jump,
being more than four feet behind his
best mark. Timlos, the Finn, who won
the event, holds the European record
with leap Of so feet inches, and in
the Finnish trials held last July did
slightly over 81 feet. Almloff, of
Sweden, finished third to-day, just as he
did at Stockholm in 1912.
Sherman Landers. of the Chicago A.
A., was unfortunate in having the
jump which put him in third place
declared foul, though his spike jus.
grazed the take-off. His next leap
placed him fifth in the standing.
Frigerio, the Italian, shares with Hill,
of England, the honor of being the
only competitor to win two first places.
