Whether the phe- i i nomenai recora-oreaKing was due to the ideal weather condi tions or the peculiar condition of the track in California, they were thrilling as performances from the first day to the last." . Carr's Performance One of the outstanding events that Dr. Dashiell recalls is Bill Carr's running in the middle distance events. "While Carr was running in a relay," he said, ble, 'That guy isn't trying at all!" But when they noted the progress he was making the tone cnine and an object of aesthetic regard comparable to any of the r -ui-i- i-w,.i;r, ' L - ' rin on the sportsmanship displayed throughout the games, not only in the behaviour of the athletes matter of daily comment how m It J i tneir applause ior ainiexes oi an nations," said Dashiell.

The Jap made two valiant efforts, but knocked the cross-bar off each time. Draws Applause "At last, on his third try, he managed to clear it.' The crowd gave him the biggest ovation of the games. Even the judges of other events neglected their par ticular charges' efforts to watch the diminutive Asiatic, and the toss of the discus by a French man actually went unrecorded while the judge gazed at the pole-vaulting. 'A further interesting example of the sportsmanship of the crowd was the case of another Jap running in a long-distance event. He had been lapped by the entire field, and was hope lessly out of the running, but still he kept trying. Though he finished much later than any of the other contestants in his event, he used up his last ounce of strength to do so, and had to be helped off the field. And he was given a bigger "hand" than the winners. In Dr. Dashiell's own words: "He exemplified the truth of the words of the founder of the Olympic Games, who said that the honor is not to win, but to compete." There were only two' cases, of bad sportsmanship in the Games, and Dr. Dashiell regards them as manifestations of personality rather than nationality. And the crowd again responded with cheers rather than the boos they would have given any American in a given situation.

In , order to study more economically Hamil ton does his work with a group of his classmates whenever pos sible. Since he has not had any written tests, he is hesitant about commenting on his pro gress. He has secured no work up to this time, but in the vicinity, of his home he had regular employ ment. He' states that he has found some problems not cover ed by his training at the blind school but has been able to solve them. Even more than the average student, Hamilton is dependent upon "bull . sessions" for current local and foreign information.

Bunn Hearn, Carolina's base ball coach, gave a highly amus- mg account oi the trip around the world taken by the New York Yankees after they won the world's series in 1913. Hearn, who was playing with the Yankees at the time, related his experiences in an informal address before the Chapel Hill Rotary club at, its regular meet ing this week. The Yankee victory this year reminded the Rotarians the Yan kees used to be plenty good years ago, as, for instance,: in 1913, and they were wondering how the New York team strut ted its stuff then. Bunn Hearn told them. Around the World The trip around the world was little more than an exhibition jaunt, Coach Hearn explained, for, baseball being far more ad vanced in America than abroad, the foreign teams could not be expected to offer enough oppo sition to make the competition keen. In Japan, for instance, the Yankees ran up about 30 runs and then stopped trying, in or der to give the Japs a chance. They had a baseball diamond, Coach Bunn said, "about as big as a larere goods box. and the centerfielder and second base man had to play so close togeth er that it was difficult to tell which was which." The team was . the object of much .attention and admiration everywhere it went, although in most countries the natives con fessed they knew little . about baseball, Coach Hearn said. Before leaving the States, the team made a thirty-day tour, playing, the Chicago White Sox. There were sixty-seven in the party and the receipts were around $100,000. . They were exhibition games, of course.

He was graduated from the Presbyterian college of Montreal in 1890.
