Tops Highlight With Marathon Victory

Cardiff, July 24.

For shear drama, it would be difficult to better today's happenings in the athletic programme at the Arms Park stadium A now world record, another one equalled, countless Games and British records, a hurdler "falling flat on his face when practically certain of victory, two runners fighting for the lead in the street right outside the stadium after 25 weary miles, and then another hurdler losing his silver medal owing to a reversed judges' decision. These were but the highlights of an afternoon packed with thrills and excitement from beginning to end. It is difficult to know where to start, but pride of place must surely be given to Australia's David Power, the first man to complete the "Double" at Cardiff by adding the marathon gold medal to the one he had already won in the six miles.
