A., who won the national all around athletic cham- pionships in 1914 and 1916, was de- throned in the annual competition here yesterday. Brundage had to be content with seventh place. Another Chicago A. A. athlete, however, Henry Goelitz, captured the title, making the splendid score considering the condi- tions of 5702.166 points. L. J. Kar- imo of the Young Men's Order of De- troit wae second, and Pot O’Connor, the stalwart New York policeman who finished fifth last Yyear, took third place. | Rain twice halted the competition ! and the downpour made any record | wrecking out of the question. The | | ground was drenched, the track made soggy and the infleld a veritable mo- rass. Brundage led Goelitz at the start and remained up front till the 120- vard hurdles. In that event Brund- age knocked down three hurdles and | his score was nullified. That prac- tically put him out of the competition. The score made by Goelitz yester- day was 766.584 points behind the tally Brundage made in winning the event last season and 1,196.834 points behind the American record of 7,499 points made by the Rev. Fred C. Thomson of Los Angeles in winning the competition in 1913.
