Qreat Performances In the Championships Show That America Still Leads the World In Athletics—Good Outlook for Next Year’s Olympic Games. N spite of a hoat blast that struck Pitteburg Saturday the national championship games on that after- oon brought out more great athletes and great athletic performances than &ny other championship meet of former years. It showed that the tremendous interest aroused in athietio games tp Burope during the past five years and the hundreds of first class athletes do- veloped in Sweden, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy and England will not yet threaten American su- premacy. American athletes are at least keeping pace with the rest of the world. Almost all of Saturday's performances would have been phenomenal a few years ago. Yet in very few cases were the winners far ahead of second and third men, Usually two or three were close to the world’s records, From the the winners a team could be picked for the next Olymplo Games that will be held in Sweden a year from now—and It would be a winning team. The 16-pound shot put was won by Pat McDonald, the gigantic Irish-Amer- foan, who scales 270 pounds stripped when fn condition. McDonald put 47 ft. 9 in, and could have done @ foot or two better if pressed. The half-mile run was the greatest contest of the day. Mel Sheppard, in fin condition, was favorite, but there were many “dark horses.” The best of these proved to be Edmunson of Seattle, known in the East only by report. Bémunson cut out a terrific pace from the start. Shepard was far back in the ‘bunch, and tn the first quarter was con- tent to hold his place. But after that he began closing in. Eddie Frick of the N. Y..A. C. was fighting It out with Edmunson. In ao last, flerce spurt of fully @ hundred and fifty yards Shep- pard closed in on the leaders, and his team mate, Riley, came along behlad him. Frick was forced to drop wack. ‘Dwenty yards from the finish the seat- tle man was still leading, and it seemed impossible for Sheppard to get him. But Mel did. He passed Edmunson answer spurt with run out, and he fell from the reaching the line by a foot. If he had been able even to stretch out his hand he would have been second. Riley and| Frick passed before he recovered, /It| was hard luck, after such a wonderful | race. There would have been only a} small fraction of a second between the| time made by Edmunson and Sheppard, had the former finished. Sheppard’ within 1 2-38. of | record. And the track was laid by Mike Murphy during the four days preceding th games, What would Sheppard have “Gone on the Harvard track? — come in to NOTHER great race was the mile, | OF ‘won by Kiviat, running far ahead |Chest Js slipping. of his field, in the great time of 4 minutes 193-6 seconds.

In the disous Sheridan had the famous “Sheridan luck.” He was last until his very last throw, but, gathering himself for the heave, managed to win by 8 inches from Talbott. Second, thitd and@ fourth man were within 2% feet of Sheridan's winning, 133.9%, Gish of Seattle ran a Kr weconds. In the five miles George Bon: hag showed his mettle. He was leading by three-quarters of a lap anne laat lap a. With th: @ tap to go, and running with the ense and smoothness of a machine, Bonhag stepped on the rail, stumbled, and strike ing the rail with his right foot, sprained his ankle badly. ife reeled across the track, but kept on running and finished in the fast time of 25 minutes 60 2-6 sec. onde.
