Beard (14.7), Finlay (14.8), Welscher (14.8) and Keller (14.9) were the heat winners, and Keller then won the first semi-final in 14.5, one tenth ahead of Lord Burghley and Finlay, while Saling equalled the world record of 14.4 ahead of Beard (14.6) in the other semi-final. The final got under way at 15:45 with Keller on the outside fastest away, Beard on the inside closed up on Keller, catching him when he hit the fifth hurdle. Beard caught the sixth barrier, and Saling went into the lead. Saling hit the 10th and stumbled, but was well in the lead by then and won by more than a metre from Beard. Finlay prevented a USA clean sweep, catching Keller with a driving finish. Welscher was disqualified for knocking over three hurdles, a harsh rule in view of the hindering effect of hitting the old fashioned barriers.
