A CANADIAN WIN.
AN AMERICAN DISQUALIFIED,
LONDON, July 24
At the Olympic sports, Kerr, the Canadian, won the 200 metres (217.5 yards) race in 22 2-5 sec. There was a great sensation over the running of the final in the 400 metres (437.2 yards) race. Carpenter, the American, bored and elbowed Harwell (Britain) almost off the track, and the judges broke the tape, and declared the race void. They subsequently disqualified Carpenter, and ordered the other three men in the final to race on Saturday in strings. Australasia beat Denmark in the first heat of the 200 metres (217.5 yards) teams' running race. England won the final. Hungary being second, and Australasia third.
