BRITON'S SUCCESS.
Berlin, Aug. 5. The Olympic 50,000 metres waik event was won by the Britisher Harold Whitlock in a new Olympic record of 4 hrs., 30 mins., 41 'secs., which replaces the record of 4 hrs. 50 mins. 10 secs., set up by an- other British athlete, W. Green at Los Angeles In 1952.
Schwab, Switzerland, finished, the race 13 minute behind the win- ner and Adalberts Bubenko, Latvia, who came in only 25 secs. later, was third. J
The victory of the Britisher, who seemed quite calm, was enthusias- tically acclaimed by many Bri- isbers, who were in the Stadium, since this gave Britain the first Gold Medal. A part of the way to be passed on this race went ac- cross a straight stretch of the Ber
