JUMPER DARBY
EASILY BREAKS SEVERAL GOOD AMERICAN
RECORDS
The Earl Of Dsaravsn Challenges for tho Amer
ica's Oap-Snllivan Denies That He Said
BE Was Dragged-GsasFal Sports.

SHEFFIELD, ENG. October 6.-Joe
Darby, the famous jumper, made way
with many records on Tuesday night az
the Empire. lie announced a whole
sale attack on some of the American
records. The first one be tackled was
2I feet, made in two standing jumps by
Il. w. Johnson, OF Canada. This Darby
eclipsed by 4 feet, inches, clearing %
feet 3 inches. He next tried h. w.
Johnson's 33 feet inches in three
standing jumps. AT the first attempt
Darby cleared SO feet Z inches, and his
next essay was Sc feet inches, which
now leads the worlds record by feet
inches. Darby's last jump was Is
feet 10 inches. All these trials were
made without weights. He then tried
what he could do with weights, and at
his first attempt cleared 40 feet inches,
which not only beats HamiltOn's (Amer-
ican) record by feet 5 inches, but 10
beats his own record by IL inches.
Darby's last jump was II feet 3 inches.
The slope Of the stage gave Darby a
little assistance, but il was not enough
% Offset the fact that Darby jumped in
pair Of Lancashire clogs.
Americans have made the stand
ing high jumping branch Of sport
q close study, and for long
while they led the world with
their marvellous fights. L. w. John
son, the American champion, was the
FIRST 90 elecTifg the world with his
standing jump Of 5it. Gin. without
weighr). This is very tame when COM
pared with Darby'S SIT 51{in. done in
On exhibition. Comparing this with
the doings of another American I. f..
Kearney, who, while using weights,
cleared SIT Sl5in., the English cham
pion will be found to be Ear in advance
of all rivals. 1t may be interesting to
know that the best amateur standing
high jump is that of 5. Cook, Of Wor-
cester, Mass, who, without the use OF
weights, cleared SIT. hin.
The best standing broad jump, with
weights, are IA feet inches by Joseph
Darcy TO England, and ]. w. Hamilton
cleared IA feet So inches in America.
Darby has cleared - feet pa inches
without weights; II. NJ. Johnson's
(Amerlcan) 10 feet 1OA inches is the
best record on the other side Of the At
lantic. Z. w. johnson claims q record
Of II feet / inch at this style, but the
performance has never been properly
authenticated.
Darby will shortly visit America.
