Title supplied by cataloger. Photograph caption dated August 2, 1932 reads, "This photo of the finish, taken from the opposite side of the track and at another slant when the men were drawing nearer the finish line, indicates that Metcalfe is slightly ahead of Tolan, according to the experts. Metcalfe's foot appears beneath the tape, while Tolan seems to be a stride behind, the Metcalfe adherents point out."
