sprint champion, particularly seemed
to have lots to spare aa he breeaed
to hu second victory over the sole
Japanese survivor, Yoshloka, a gal
lant little fellow who churned up
the cinders with a big handkerchief
wrapped around his head.
The favorites, aa they stacked up
among the e .en dozen of the world's
beet sprinters surviving the two pre
liminary rounds, were Tolan, Met
