An*. 16.—Jol# Bay, distance ranner from Chicago with tha Olympic team, may bo unable to start In the 1,500-meter run. He injured his leg this morning while practicing:. He had been counted on as a sure point winner.

By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent/' ANTWERP, Aug. 16.—America won her first victory in the track events of the Olympic games today when F. F. Loomis of Chicago set anew world’s record in the 400-meter hurdles. Loomis’ time was fifty-four seconds flat. The former record for the 400meter hurdles was 55 seconds, made by C. Bacon of America in 1908. The Americans also took second and third places. J. K. Norton of the Olympic club 'of San Francisco finished behind Loomis and A. C. Descb of New York was third. George Andre, the veteran French hurdler, was fourth: C. D. Pagge of Los Angeles, fifth, and Christensen of Sweden, sixth. Charlie Paddock set up a second American victory wheu he won the final In the 100-meter dash. The time was 10 4-3 ■econds.

Morris Kirksey, San Francisco, was second to Paddock, with Edwards, the British champion, third; Alikhan, the French Algerian, fourth; J. V. Scholr, University of Missouri, fifth, and Loren Murchison of New York, sixth. The time was one-fifth of a second slower than the Olympic record. # The Stars and Stripes registered again when B. Hamilton, University of Missouri, won the Pentathlon broad jump E. L. Bx-adley, from the University of Kansas, was second and Robert Legendere, Georgetown university, fifth. H. H. Brown. Boston; Ivan Dresser. New York, and C. Furnas of Purdue university qualified for the 5.000-meter run. C. F. Hunter. San Francisco, the fourth American starter, was shut out in his heat. Bradley and Legendre ran a dead heat in the 200-meter dash in the Pentathlon, both crossng the finish line in the van of the procession. Hamilton was far back in this event, crossing the line fifth. Dunn of Michigan tied for seventh place. In the 800-meter run there is a bit of Yank gloom. It is regarded as extremely doubtful if the Americans. Earl Eby. Lieut. D. M. Scott, Thomas Campbell and A. B. Sprott, can distance the nervy and speedy G. B. Rudd, South Africa’s entry. Eby, bset hope of the Americans, finished third in his qualifying heat. He led most 1 of the way, but lagged when Rudd turned on full steam end then allowed Hill of England to finish second. Some satisfaction was taken, however, in a coach’s statement after the race. He explained that Eby had been suffering from a stomach ailment and had been

ordered to do no more than qualify. John Murphy. Portland. Ore.: H. TV Muller. Olympic club. San Francisco; R. W. linden. New York. and*W. 1.. Whalen, Boston, qualified to represent the United States in the high jump. The spirit' of the American athletes ts most excellent. Recent hard feeling has blown over and the men are doing their very best to win. America failed to place a man for the javelin. Myrra. a Finn, broke the Olym pic and world's tecords for.the event when he made* a toss of -15 feet. 9 ;: * (inches. The former world's' mark was .held by Lemming of Sweden with I*o4 feet, 1 inches. Peltoncn and Johansen, second and third men. and both Finns, each bettered the tormei world's mark. Classy Shoot Scores H. S. Lewis and IT. C. Stutz tied for high in the Indianapolis Gun club shoot Saturday with ‘JO each out of a possihle 100. S. Klein was next in line with 07 and Haddath third with Ofi. Squad No. 1. composed of Stutz, Klein. Edmonson and Ford, broke 486 out of 500. which 'was within one of the local record, and they also broke 100 straight in event No. -2 W. S. Jones was high man among the professionals with 10V straight. Stutz and Hartdath tied on the Leo Krauss tfiophy, breaking 24 out of 25 from the twenty-one-yard line.

Courthouse and City Hall pulled even with an 8 and 8 tie in six innings, Kiwanis trimmed the Rotarians, 22 to 15; the Salvation Army home service fund was given a’big boost and all those present got double their money's worth of fun at Washington park Saturday afternoon.

The City Hall had the victory stuff tucked tinder the covers early in the first game, the score standing 8 to 3 in their favor when the sixth and final round opened, but Mayor Jewett cracked under heavy tire In this stanza and was sent to the showers after the Courthouse had scored and still had three on the sacks, with one out. , Capt. Dan Green took the mayor s place and let the Courthouse down with one more run, which made everything even. The teams retired after this Inning to make room for the Rotarians and Kiwanis. ... Kiwanis evened up the count with their old rivals, the Rotarians, when they slipped ’em a right hook to tho jaw in the form of a 22 to 15 count. These clubs started out with lots of runs each, anil both sides put in plenty of good knocks with the stick during the game. A large, peppery crowd witnessed the games and there were times when they were so busy “whooping ’er up’’ that they almost forgot the diamond battles. Upon entering tho grounds one hsd the choice of buying a donation's worth of score cards or drawling the wrath of a dozen or so fair damsels uoon his head.
