J. Chapelle, of Belgium, has been awarded the Harvey Cup by the A.A.A. This trophy goes to the athlete adjudged to be the best A.AA. cham- pion of the year. Chapelle won the ten miles event last April, the two miles steeplechase in the July championships in 10min. 22.4 sec., and was third in the six miles. This is the first time a Belgian has earned this dis- tinction, and no one will be- grudge him his success.
