Women'S Track and Fiel
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor

BERLIN, August 5.-Jesse Owens
streaked over the 200-meter course
in POT seconds, creating a new world
record for the distance around one
turn.
The brown speeder annexed his
third title of the eleventh Olympiad
today as husky Ken Carpenter of
Compton, Calf, won the discus throw
championship.
Owens time bettered his own pre-
vious record of 81 seconds fiat, made
last month in the final American
Olympic tryouts at Randalls Island,
N. Y, and shaved four-tenths OF a
second of the new Olympic record OF
2l.l he set in yesterdays trials.
Today's victory, coupled with his
earlier triumphs in the broad jump and
the 100-meter sprint, made him the
first Olympic triple champion" since
Paavo Nurmi, the Phantom Finn"
won three gold medals at Paris in 1924.
One-Two Finishes Thrill.
The 2O0-meter final produced a one
two finish by American Negroes just
as did the 100-meter final. Then it
was big Ralph Metcalfe of Chicago
line. Today it was Matthew Mack
Robinson of Pasadena, Calf, who
equaled Owens former Olympic mark
of 21.1 seconds.
Owens crowned in his four days of
record-blaSting performances sensa-
tionaly before an afternoon crowd
which was short of capacity for the
first time since the athletic competi-
ton started Sunday.
He broke fast from the marks, taking
the lead Immediately and opened
good gap leaving the turn, with Mar
tin OSendarp of Holland second.
Just as Owens flashed across the
finish it started to rain and Reichs-
fueher Adolph Hitler, who has been a
constant spectator. left the stadium.
The downpour quickened but the
crowd stuck through it, cheering wildly
as Owens went through his third vic
tory ceremony.
u De 4bOAo Up 14C = 1Ot..ISs
The conquest by Owens and Robin
son in the 200 following the one-two
finish by Carpenter and Gordon (Slin-
ger) Dunn of Fresno. Calf, in the
discus ran up the United States first
places to seven and total points to 113
in 10 events.
There never was the slightest ques-
ton about Owens supremacy through
his four days of competition. He was
only challenged in the broad jump
and then he bore down hard, boosting
the Olympic record to IS feet 5 2l-et
! inches.
He ran his quarter-final heat in
the 100 in 10.2 seconds, clipping one
tenth of a second from the world and
Olympic record. Officials, however,
disallowed 1t as a record because there
was a favoring wind. But Jesse won
the century title in record-equalling
time of 1913.
Disallowance of the record really
was his only setback.
W0men'S Record EqualIed.
The women's world record of 11.6
seconds was equalled by Trebisonda
Valla of Italy in the first semi-final of
the S0-meter hurdles. Her time clip
ped one-tenth of a second of the
Olympic standard of III set by Mil
dred Babe DidrikSon at Los Angeles
four years ago.
Another close finish in the second
semi-final saw Simone Schaller Of
Monrovia, Calf, placing third behind

procession of witnesses, including Miss
Mary Foubister, dog expert, testified
for the defense today in the murder
trial of Idaho, a shaggy mongrel, that
the animal Is playful and normal
dog.
Idaho Is accused of causing the
death by drowning of q boy in the
nearby barge canal.
Miss Foubister, who said she had
examined 10000 dogs, Joined with
others in stating Idaho was not
vicious, and she based her belief on
observation of Idaho since July 20.
The object of their testimony

lice-alternately yelped excitedly and
mapped during the sometimes dramatic
and sometimes humorous session.
Provokes Roar Of Laughter.
Once he participated unwittingly in
his trial and provoked a roar of
laughter, when he echoed witness
explosive assertion that the defendant
was harmless.
The witness was Frank Morass, who
lives near Victor Fortune, Idaho's o.
year-old owner.
did you ever know Idaho to attack
any one?" he was asked by Defense
Attorney Harry A. Sessions.
mol" exclaimed Morass decisively.
Idaho barked, and the sound was al
most the same as the witness mo-" so
similar, In fact, that even Justice Of
the Peace Homer D. Benedict Joined
in the general laughter.
you've got him well trained" the
justice said to Sessions.
Another witness, william Brady, a
morgue attendant, testified that he
found no scratches on the body Of a.
year-old Maxwell Breeze, who was
drowned in the barge canal July 4
when a shaggy dog paved him.
Sessions then called for Rex, the
"alibi dog" Fortune has said he was
not convinced Idaho was the dog seen
swimming near Maxwell Breeze.
Alibi Dog Is Led In.
Rex was led in by his owner, Herbert
Rose. Like Idaho he was part German
shepherd and tawny in color.
Idaho barked once, but otherwise
gave Rex little notice, and Rex ignored
Idaho even more completely.
Glen Snoves, 1s, called to the stand,
said he arrived at the scene soon after
Maxwell Breeze was drowned and that
he saw . wet dog on the shore.
"TeN the judge If the dog you saw
was Idaho or not" Sessions asked.
The dog We saw was not Idaho. "
Snoves said.
q. Was there another dog theref
A. Yes.
Q. Did this other dog resemble this
dog (Rex)?
A. A little. but its not the same one.
Deputy Sheriff Orrin Tuttle, one OF
the Investigators, testified he saw no
scratches on the drowned boys body.
Qualifying as "dog expert" through
30 years Of experience, DR.. william
H. Mahoney testified regarding the
general character Of puppies, and re-
fused to advise that the dog be killed.

Reports of fresh successes by Lib

war today as Red Cross officials esti-
mated $4,000 persons had been killed
In the most savage political-military
upheaval in Spanish history.
Inspired by military successes in
the Guadarrama Mountains, the gov

tered the international situation by a
conference with Sir Robert G. VanSit-
tart, British permanent undersecretary
for foreign affairs, in the presence of
Joachim von Ribbentrop, Hitler's spe-
rial ambassador.
Details of the conversation were
Mithheld, but diplomats said they
thought it probable there was discus
sion of German adherence to the pro-
posed French plan for a seven-power
agreement to maintain rigid neutrality
in the Spanish civil war.
Great Britain showed confidence a
seven-power group will be formed
quickly in a good will' front to pre-
serve strict neutrality in the civil war.
Authoritative quarters in London
said France, Britain and Belgium were
in hearty agreement on the plan. They
said Germany promised to join if
