His time of 20.8 seconds was a tenth of a second faster than MacDonald Bailey's best ever.
Behind him, Dave Segal, who was actually the British first string in this event, clocked 21 seconds dead to outrun the French champion, Jocelyn Delecour, who clocked the same time.

By “TIME-OUT"
It is a grand tribute to the Hong Kong Softball Association that despite the blistering heat at King's Park yesterday the faus stayed on to the very end of the official Opening Day ceremony which was carried
out without any noticeable hitch.
The concensus of opinion all around is that it was, as the popular
expression goes, "a jolly good show."
