The other event, the 100 yard free-style, was won by Hungarian Zoltan Halmay in a close encounter with America's first premier swimmer, Charles Daniels.
Halmay, a bull of a man who swam practically kickless, but high in the water with powerful strokes, appeared to lead the final from beginning to end.
However, some American judges, seated far from the finish line, proclaimed that Halmay had stopped swimming short of the finish and that Leary was the rightful winner.

There were also three events that would never again be swum at the Olympics: the obstacle course, the underwater swim, and the 4000 meter swim, which took the winner, Great Britain's John Jarvis, nearly an hour (58:24) to complete.
Jarvis also took gold in the 1000 meter free (13:40), while Hungary's Zoltan Halmay took home the most individual honors, earning two silvers and a bronze in the freestyle events.
The first Olympics held in the United States attracted little attention-both because of the enormous cost of getting to St. Louis and because the World's Fair was taking place at the same time in the same city.
