AP Was There: 16-year-old American wins 1st women's 100 dash
In a day mark by the shattering of three worlds records and two Olympic standards, Yankee fortunes again ebbed and flowed. HAMM ADDS WORLD CROWNHamm wound up the most sensational broad jumping campaign any human kangaroo ever had by adding the worlds championship to his national and worlds record holding honors. Weightman-Smiths performance followed the semi-final triumphs by two other Americans, Leighton Dye and Stephen Anderson, each equaling the former worlds record of 14 4-5 seconds made by Earl Thompson in 1920. Helmut Koernig, German ace, captured this heat, equaling the Olympic record of 21 3-5 seconds. The American, running third most of the way behind Edvin Wide of Sweden, rushed out in the final lap to win by a big margin.
