‘PAGE TWELVE ' ENGLAND WINS | SPRINT CROWN » INOLYMPICS ‘American Hopes for Decisive Conquest Set Back by Hahn’s Defeat Olympic Stadium, Amsterdam, July 31—)—American hopes for decisive Olympic conquest received another jarring setb: today in the decisive defeat of Lloyd Hahn in the classic 800 meter championship al- though the wearers of the red, white and blue shield were able to hold their own by winning two of the four final events on the day’s pro- gram. The 800 meter crown went hack to England to the tune of the flying feet of Douglas Lowe, the defending champion, with Hahn no better than fifth and with two other Americans last, but Eddie Hamm, the great rgia Tech., broad jumper, won his specialty for Uncle Sam, replac- ing as_ champion the American Regro, DeHart Hubbard, who was eliminated in the second trials. In both of these events Olympic records fell. Chicago Girl Wins In the other two finals, both of } ‘were for women athletes, the United States also gained an even break. A fast stepping Chicago ‘lass, Elizabeth Robinson of the Iili- nois Women’s A. C., ran away with the 100 meters championship in the ‘fast time of 12 1-5 seconds and Lil- lian Copeland of the Pasadena, Cal- , fornia, Athletic and Country club ; Placed second to Halina Konopacka of Poland in the discus throw. Hamm's Olympic record-breaking ‘broad jump was 25 feet 4 3-4 inches or 7.73 meters. This was about five inches better than his nearest rival, S. P M Cator, of Haiti, who was sec- ond. Al Bates of the United States ‘was third with 24 feet 4 1-4 inches.

D., July 31.— Today many people of the New Eng- land community will stroll upon the banks of the Cannon Ball river and with a deep sense of satisfaction watch the waters of the river slowly rise above the dam constructed dur- ing the past two weeks through free will donations, good will work and intelligent cooperative work. Just east: of the city they will sur- vey the dam, of crib construction, built under the supervision of the North Dakota state engineer's of- fice. The site was selected by the state fish and game commission as an “ideal spot for the spawning of fish.” C. P. Peterson, game and fish commissioner, has promised the state will share $700 of the $3,000 total cost of the dam. \ The project was started more than @ year ago by the New England Town Criers club, a community or- members. Much time was con- sumed in planning and in securing the assistance of others. The, re- sponse from all sources is a rare ex- ample of co-operation. © New England has put over big community projects before.

The bathing beach was an after- thought. It caused a flurry for a few hours. All had been concentrating upon the building of the dam. Farmers were building a butte of rocks. About 200 big loads were piled on the river banks. Dray teams were donating the labor hauling lumber. Two troups of Boy Scouts were mob- ilized to move rocks ‘into the river. State Engineer Rebert Kennedy was bi approving the plans and speci- ions le by ‘ice Dieh) of arcky‘and an assistant. The so- \iciting “committee of business men was deciding which township they would drive to get help; the finance committee was busy collecting and paying money for lumber; all com- jmittees were meeting daily to re- ceive directions from v.

Y., July 31.—F: father, John L. Dyer did not anything in the way of real estate or securities, but he did fall heir to an old violin that he could not play. And this heritage was promptly forgotten until his daughter Betty went artistic and decided she would like to play like Heifetz. Dyer vetoed the plan flatly until he remembered the old instrument, and decided that if it could be found, he would clean it up and buy some new strings. Then it might serve until Betty had changed her mind about her career. Just a Keepsake After much hunting, the old violin was found in the coal cellar. “We had never taken any care of it,” Dyer explained, “but you know you don’t just throw away a keep- sake. You see, my father got it from his dad.” The instrument was duly taken to Portchester to be reconditioned and restrung.. Inconspicuous and unim- portant looking it was. No one ever had noticed the word. “Cremona” burned on the inside. “T never thought of it having any value,” Dyer went on, “but when the fellow who fixed it up offered me $1,200, I was suspicious at once. } knew it must be worth more. So I took it to an appraiser in New York.” After the app: 1 and sale were made and the commissions paid, cepted $57,000 as his share.
