Harrison Dillard was holder of the world record, but he fell in the US Trials, won by Bill Porter in an electrically-timed 13.90. The three selected Americans were clearly the class of the field, and Dixon (14.2) and Porter (14.3) were 0.3 faster than anyone else in the heats. The same differential remained in the semi-finals, as Dixon ran 14.2 ahead of Gardner’s 14.5, and was followed by Porter, edging Scott, 14.1 to 14.2, some 0.4 ahead of Triulzi. The biggest event in round 1 for the home crowd was the demise of Finlay. The British veteran, who first ran internationally in 1929, was leading in heat 5 by a metre when he fell at the final hurdle. In the final, the burly (1.83/82kg) Scott was off the fastest and led until the third hurdle, when Dixon took over. He led until the eighth hurdle, when Porter surged past. Scott finished quickly, but Porter held on in a frenzied finish. The official winning margin of 0.2 was clearly incorrect, as less than one tenth of a second separated the first three men.
