This winner, not surprisingly, was MiT-died (Babe) Didrtkson of Dallas,Texas, one of the greatest women track stars in history. 'Babe won her second title in world and Olympic record time when her long and lanky legs brought her home ahead of theinternational field in the 90-meterhurdles.Clips Second Off Record • Miss Dkfrlfcson was clocked in 11.7.The old world's record was 11J held by Marjorie dark of South Africa, who finished third in the final.Miss Didrtkson won her second title by a margin of scarcely more than a few Inches. She barely beat Evelyn Rail of Chicago in the scramble to the finish tape. v The first half doaen hurdles were cleared with not more than a stride separating the leader and the last girl, and they finished almost in a straight Hne.Finland Wins Javelin Throw The men's records came In these events:Jsrelte tkmr: Vm If Matt!

White and blue-crossed flags ofFinland were hoisted up the three honor masts, and the solemn-sounding Finnish national anthem was played. This was the first time since the contest games were begun that any nation except the United States won first, second and third honors in a single event.Beccall's Victory Is SurpriseBeccan recorded the greatest surprise of the.games thus far by winning the 1900 meter over the morefavored Finns and the more heavily publicised Americans.Today's real thrill was to come In the 400-meter final, expected to develop into a third duel between Blaxin’ Ben Eastman of Stanford, and Billy Carr of Pennsylvania,BABE DIDRIKSON SHATTERS ANOTHER MARK*•Be* s.« *VM'Ad• *. -v.« ft.■* *,* «-.r.• ■* ** ■ ft*7* •* -• V.*\r9. *av,,V ** ti•* • • *:vv.1■:v«S',v.v«A fttV.Vj « *• ** »* -.v.%,.
