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.

himself.and many others resumed sing
ing.
