ODAY

By Michael J. Murphy. (Trainer of American Olympic Team.) Stockholm, Sweden, July 8. American sprinters set a record yesterday .which will not be duplicated for a 'long time. No other country ever vea .approached the feat of taking vfirst. second, third and fourth places iln the 100-meter dash. Craig won because he found that 'great burst of speed which he. had last .year at the Intercollegiate games. Ever since the trip started I had been working him to get this finish. He "had more of It In the semi-final yesterday than In the preliminary. He was near perfection "in the final yesterday afternoon. I knew before the race -started that Craig would win It. It was unfortunate that young Drew broke down. But for that I th.nk he ;would have proved to be America's j greatest sprinter since Bernle Weffr, I say this without underestimating Craig's fine running. Alvah T. Meyer improved wonderfully and Don-

finish of the Americans. With the 100 meters out of the way we can afford to quit worrying about the 800 meters. Both Craig and Lippincott are better at 200 than at 100 meters, and," barring- accidents, I see no reason why we should not make a cleaner sweep In this event than In the 100 meters.. 4 I will not make any prediction about the result of the 800 meters tomorrow, but I thing . that Sheppard, Davenport, Meredith and Caldwell are better than Braun of Germany or Brock of Canada. Sheppard gave away at least eight yards In his heat and Caldwell came through with a great

sprint at the finish of the heat. With

six out of eight men In the final our prospects In this race are fully as good as In the 100. Sheppard said after the races that he felt as strong as ever. I am not worrying about the other Americans I named.
