...outstanding event of the outstanding events came when Jackson V. Scholz,* New York A. C. sprinter, tripped the cinders with fairy feet for 20 9/10 twinkling seconds and won the semi-final 200-metre dash by a magnificent performance in which for the second time in one day he gave the world's record of 21 1/5 seconds a sick headache.

Castleman's time for this distance is a consistent 10 1-5 seconds.
