Sport: In England
At Stamford Bridge, England, British women outleaped, outran, outthrew their French, Belgian, Czecho-Slovakian, Swiss and Italian sisters in an international track meet. World's records went splintering on every hand. Mary Lines, "Paddock Feminine," who starred for England in the first Women's Olympiad at Monte Carlo in 1922, won three events. Her countrywoman, Miss Trickey, won the 1,000-metre run. A French giantess won the discus throw and shot-put. Italy's alibi for finishing last was that four of her most active athletes were halted at the Italian border.
