YANKEE ATHLETES WIN. Take Eight of Ten Events at Paris. MANY WOULD NOT ENTER CONTESTS Action of Freneli Authorities In * Having Sunday Haute* KOCIIN Sonic of Our Bent Men Out—•Sheldon BrcukM World's Shot Record. Paris, July 1(1. —Although deprived oi the services of some of her best athletes, who declined to contest in yesterday's events of the world's amateur champion ships in the llois de Boulogne, objecting to Sunday competition, America won eight out of ten of those decided, gaining live second positions and four third. The games began promptly at 12:30 p. in., but it was 7 o'clock before the last event was over. The first heat in tin- (5U meters flat went handily to Kraeuzlcin, with E. J. Minahati of Georgetown uni versity second and Pritchard of the Eng lish team third. Time, 7 seconds. Klin gelhoefer, French, and Wostoragon, Swede, also ran. In the second heat Walter B. Tewksbury managed to breast the tape just ahead of Howley of New South Wales, with William J. Hol land of Georgetown university third. Time, 7 1-5 seconds. Koppan and Schu bert, Hungarians, also ran. The final wus a pretty contest, the men being breasts apart at the finish, with Kraenz ieiu first. Tewksbury second and Bowley third. Time, 7 seconds. Minnchau also ran. Richard Sheldon of the New York Ath letic club was the only American to strip for the final in the shot putting, as J. C. McCracken of the University of Pennsyl vania and Robert Garrett of Princeton university refused to compete on Sunday. Crettier, Hungarian, and Pnraskevopou los, Greek, took their places. Neither of these could outstrip the puts made Satur day by McCracken and Garrett, and the final resulted: Sheldon, first, with 14 mo tors 10 centimeters, which is said to beat the world's record; McCracken, second, with 12 meters 85 centimeters, and Gar rett, third, with 12 meters 37 centimeters. LOIIK Wins Short Distance Hun. Only three started in the final of the 40 meters flat, as Lee, Frederick G. Ma lonfcy of the University of Michigan and Dixon Bonrdmnn of the New York Ath letic club, who had also qualified, re fused to run yesterday. This left Max well Long of the New York Athletic club, William J. Holland of the University of Georgetown and Scliulz, a Dane. At the crack of the pistol Holland set a merry pace and held it well into the stretch, where Long caught him. The two had a heartbreaking run to the finish, which Long reached a yard in advance of Holland, Scliulz being 15 yards to the rear. The time was 4!) 2-5 seconds, beat ing the French record of 50 2-5 seconds. Had the other Americans started Amer ica would undoubtedly have gained first, second and third. Although William P. Remington of ! the University of Pennsylvania and Car- j roll entered, I. Iv. Baxter of the Uni- ! versity of Pennsylvania was the only ! American in the running high jump, lie easily retained his reputation, winning first place with 100 centimeters. The Frenchmen were loud in their shouts as the contestants for the 400 meter hurdle race came upon the truck, as M. Tausin, who has held the French record for years, was considered a sure winner. There were only three in the final. Tewkesbury went to the front as soon as the pistol was fired and was never headed. The 2.500 meter steeplechase handicap, which included fetone fences, a water jump, hurdles and other obstructions, created greater enthusiasm than all the other events of the day. Six men came to (he scratch. With Alexander Grant and Edward R. Bushnell of tin? Univer sity of Pennsylvania declining to par ticipate the duty fell upon Often or New ton to win the event for America, ami right well the former did it. The Americans swept the pool in tin first event Saturday for the world's championships. Pretty nearly everything in sight was taken by Uncle Sam's plucky athletes. Christlun Eniloavorcra.
