JESSE OWENS WINS

100 METRES

EQUALS RECORD ON

DAMP TRACK

BRITISH SETBACKS IN ELEVENTH WORLD OLYMPIAD

Berlin, To-day

Before another huge gathering of 100,000 | spectators, including Herr Adolf Hitler, the Ger- man Chancellor, and despite the dampness of the track, Jesse Owens, the sensational Negro flash from Ohio State University, again equalled the world's record for the 100 Metres when he won the Final in 10 3-10 secs. Ralph Metcalfe, another American, came second, while Osendarp, of Hol- land, was third.. Wykoff (U.S.) and Borchmeyer (Germany) were fourth and fifth respectively.

All five competitors got off to a very good start with Owens and Osendarp leading, but Owens, continuing to run very strongly, was clear of the field over the last 40 metres.

London, To-day.

Only minor actions were reported to-day in the Spanish civil war. The stalemate continues on the Guadarrama front and in the mountains near Madrid. The insurgents maintain their positions but are apparently short of ammunition and supplies, and the arrival of strong Govern- ment reinforcements from Valencia is expected to herald a big push against the insurgents.

While the insurgents have claimed the out- skirts of Badajoz, Government forces claim that they have blocked the insurgents' main outlet to the sea in the San Sebastian region by destroying Oyzrzun.

"Metcalfe's time was 10 4-10 secs., while the Dutchman was clocked at 10 5-10 secs. The race was run in a chilly wind and Owens had drawn lane one, while Metcalfe in semi-darkness. was in the outside lane.

Another world record was credited to the United States yesterday, when Miss Helen Stephens docked 11 4-10 secs. when winning her heat in the Women's 100 Metres event. :
