HARVARD STADIUM, Cambridge, Mass, June 14.-F. P. Johnson, Illinois Athletic club star, sprang a sensational performance in the finals of the 110- metre hurdles when he raced over the sticks in 14 S-10 seconds, tieing the worlds record set by Earl Thompson of Canada, in the 1920 olympics.
 Johnson's performance was all the more remarkable because it was made over wet track in the face of a pelt- ing rain.
 Chester Bowman, fleet Syracuse star, won the 100-metre olympic final trial today with Charley Paddock, California ace. and Jackson Scholz of New York, yesterdays sprint sensation, deadlocked for second place. Bowman equalled the olympic record time. of 10 6-10 seconds.
 Charley Paddock, it was said. pulled up lame after winning his 200-metre semi-final and withdrew from the finals on instructions; from Lawson Robert son, head olympic coach. The coast flier already was assured of his place on the team as result of his 100-metre performance and Robertson decided not to take further chance with the star s condition.
 Jackson Scholz. New York Athletic club veteran, smashed the worlds POO metre dash record for the second time in two days when he won his semi final heat today in the olympic trials an the spectacular time. of 20 9-10 sec onds. one-tenth of second faster than the figure he set in yesterdays trials.
 Scholz's performance, made on a wet track, and in the face of a driving shower, was one of the most remarkable sprint performances ever recorded.
 J. Coard Taylor of the New York A. c. went the 400-metre run with a spectacluar closing squirt that carried him to the tape in AS ,1-10 seconds, equalling the worlds record he set in yesterdays Olympic trials.
