The Wonderful World Of Sport

THE OLD HEAVE HO
Open-mouthed with strain, U. S. Olympian Harold Connolly spins around in a split instant before he whirls the 16-pound hammer 224 feet 8� inches, 13 feet 7� inches more than the accepted record—one of many sparkling achievements that highlighted track and field trials last week which were a forecast of Melbourne performances

THE RICHEST RACE EVER

One last urgent stride from the finish the winner of the richest purse ever offered was still to be decided. The race was over and no one yet knew who had crossed the line first. It took a photograph (left) to clinch victory in The Garden State for the Calumet Farm's 2-year-old, Barbizon, while the favorite, Bold Ruler, finished far back in the pack, a victim of bad racing luck. Barbizon's tidy reward: $168,430.50.
