American sprint stars outpaced in Olympic trials at Amsterdam
Charles Paddock and Henry Cumming failed to advance in the 200 metres as Canada’s Percy Williams Germany’s Kornig and Britain’s Range Hey led the semi finals. Williams won his heat in 22 seconds amid light turnout and rainy conditions. US hopes dimmed further as Paddock finished fourth and Cumming misqualified after a close finish. In the 800 metres for girls, Fraulein Dollinge of Germany led with 2 2:24, a possible world record, while American Dee Boeckman faded late to finish poorly.
