THIRD DAY
Another Sensation By Jesse Owens
NEW OLYMPIC RECORD FOR
TWO HUNDRED METRES
50
(SPECIAL OLYMPIC SERVICE-COPYRIGHT)
Berlin, August 4. Olymple enthusiasm was unabated on Tuesday, the third day of the Games, and many thousands were present at the Stadium. for the eilmination, trials for the 200 metres, broad jump and ........ dicus throwing for women, which took place in the morning' under perfect weather conditions.
The first sensation of the day was provided by Jesse Owens, who set up a new Olymple record of 21.1 secs. over the 200 metres. This exceeds the former record set by Tolan in the United States by 1/10th of a second, but as Ohrens was favoured by a strong wind it is doubtful whether the record will be officially recognised.
Packard, U.S.A., succeeded in equalling the Olympic record of 21.2 | secs. In the seventh heat. Others
placed were van Beveren (Holland), chi (Japan) in the first heat Osendarp (Holland), Scheln (Ger- many). Pennington (England).
Beswick (Argentine), and Tanigu-
In addition Owens-Orr (Canada) and Neckermann (Germany) also qualified in the third heat.
