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 400-
meter hurdles was 55 seconds, made by
C. Bacon of America in 1908. The Ameri
cans 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 hur
dler, was fourth: C. D. Pagge of Los
Angeles, fifth, and Christensen of
Sweden, sixth.
Charlie Paddock set up a second Ameri
can 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 Mis
souri, won the Pentathlon broad jump
E. L. Bx-adley, from the University of
Kansas, was second and Robert Legen
dere, 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, fin
ished third in his qualifying heat. He
led most 1 of the way, but lagged when
Rudd turned on full steam end then al
lowed 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.

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