...truly horrifying developments though, from the Crimson point of view, came in the Cardinal Cushing 1000 and the Prout 600. In the 1000, the New York Athletic Club's Tom Murphy, the Pan-American 800-meter champion, took his customary lead and seemed headed for victory.

...manner of his death was typical of his gentle nature. After he was shot by an anarchist named Leon Czolgosz at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, N.Y., his first thought was of his wife: "Be careful how you tell her." He died eight days later, whispering to his wife: "Nearer, my God, to thee."

When she flashed home last week in 4:55.9 for the 400 meters, Chris von Saltza of Saratoga, Calif, had broken her U.S. record by 2.2 sec., neatly finished the job of turning Chicago's Pan-American Games into a one-girl swim. In all, Chris carried off five gold medals: she won the 100, 200 and 400 meters, was a member of the winning team in the 400-meter freestyle relay and the 400-meter medley. What was more, all of the times were Pan...

Exercise is a good thing, physicians from a variety of specialties agreed last week at a Sports Medicine Congress held in Chicago in connection with the Third Pan-American Games.
