44O? He is capable of 1t if in proper condition.
+. +. Foster, the cyclone hurdle-racer of the

NOTHING LIKE RECoRD-BREAKING.
There is nothing like rec0rd-breaSiDg. 1t ha:
been noticed that James Jarvis, the most grace
full walker that has ever been on this Coast, Is
into thorough training for the outdoor cham.

the Coast record, formerly held by Jarvis. The
Olympics have another promising walker In G.
M. Yates Jr. He will be heard from very soon
The most promising runner that amateur ex-
perls have seen for many years is Fred S. Pheby
OF the Berkeley University. The style In which
he ran In the SS0-yard handicap at The Olympic
field day on February 23d demonstrated that lie
has splendid judgment combined with speed and
staying powers. His 2:o2 off the 30-yard mark

noticed that Two years ago he was long distance
Champion but last year he ran sprints. ES-
pinosa Is man that has more speed than he
generally is credited. He has speed and staying
qualities TO run $50 or 1000 yards faster than
any amateur athlete on The Coast II lie would
only devote attention 70 The latter distance.
There is no reason why he could not make tile
$50 in minutes.
W. II. Henry, the promising colt of the Uni
versity Club, is the making of champion hur-
dle-Tunner IL he improves, and there Is undoubt-
edly Improvement In him. Foster Will have 10
beat II seconds the next time they meet in the
12o-yard distance. Some athletes are satisfied
that Foster is capable of doing this II in good
condition. but there is no doubt that Henry Will
make him extend himself.
