The US were reduced to 66/5 at one stage by the Dutch. Christy Morris and former West Indian-turned-American Fitz Hinds lead a great recovery by posting 103 for the 6th wicket. They eventually finished with a competitive total of 198.

The 39-year old Bart King showed age had not slowed him down one bit with the ball. In fact, it had seen him mature into an even greater bowler than before. The Dutch didn't stand a chance against his variations, as he finished with an astonishing haul of 8/11 from just 5 overs - the greatest bowling analysis in the history of the Olympics, beating Bill Harrington's 7/23 for Ireland, also against the Netherlands at St Louis in 1904.
