tho unsportsman-llke attitude of the
British officials made by James Sulli
van, president of the American Ama

commissioner at the Olympic, games,
Is heartily concurred In by every for

that It would have been Impossible for
'Carpenter to have fouled Halswell at
the 200-meter post, as he was three
strides ahead of the Englishman. The
Britishers are criticized for rushing
Into the track and breaking the tape,
